Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The All "Let's Pester Outdoor Miner with Inane Questions" thread!

OM:If we do start such a thread, what will you do with your spare time?

OM, what threads that currently don't exist need to be started?

Pretending for a moment that I have any influence in this matter whatsoever, no.

Not post in the thread.


All of them.

OM, I was recently talking to a colleague about the proposed Legion World Lottery. They propose to establish a prize pool from 58% of the revenues of this lottery. 8% will be spent as selling, general & administrative costs while the remaining 34% will be contributed to the Legion World Government General Revenues Pool.

Given that 1) 90% of the revenues for this lottery will come from low income Legion Worlders; 2) the effective marginal tax rate for low-income wage earners on Legion World is 22% and that gambling losses are not deductable from gross income; 3) the exorbitant salary the lottery chairperson will own, Isn't this lottery an onerous tax on probability against the poor people of Legion World, a tax at a rate nearly double the effective marginal rate of taxation of these wage earners to fund the incompetent leadership and line the pockets of their sinecure holding friends?

Why do you bother answering the nonsense they ask, Miner?

OM, if Gary Concord, the Ultra Man was a pretty flower, what pretty flower would Gary Concord, the Ultra Man be?

OM, Which question on this thread has been your favorite one so far?

As someone who tends to side with the downtrodden, I agree with you that is little more than exploitation of the less fortunate.

As lottery chairman, I say somebody's gotta win, why not you?

It beats working.

He would be a nasturtium. Only because I like the way it sounds.

I hold them all in the same regard.

Miner, what happened to my robot?

I'm guessing it tried to replicate your sense of humor and blew out its circuits.

OM, Who was that masked man?

If I told you about the scandalous things that happened while I was in the Cannon office building for US representatives today, would you keep it a secret?

By the way, you're not within a 5 mile radius of the Capitol are you?

OM,
do you believe any of the 9/11 conspiracies?

I don't know. Third base.

1. Sure. That's not a tape recorder, by the way.

2. I'm closer to the Capitol than you may know.

Only the ones I made up.

OM, In the Batman TV series, why didn't any of the villians trace the hot phone line from Police Headquarters to the Batcave? Do you think Commissioner Gordon did?

OM, did you miss me while I was in Alaska getting hitched and seeing glaciers?

Also, why do the scandalous things happen in the Cannon building after I've left DC? I wanted to be witness to the sordid deeds! (And only a witness, thank you very much.)

OM how can I win IB's heart?

Outdoor Miner - how can one interpret dreams?

It's all about the chase, man.

1. That should go without saying.

2. Clearly, the makers and shakers of DC respect you too much to get up to that business while you're around. You'll need to come back ASAP for the good of the nation.


At this rate, about the time Led Zeppelin reunite.

Some advice: Be more proactive. Waiting for us to get our act together ain't gonna do it.

Just by being yourself.

The prettiest, kindest, most generous version of yourself you can muster.

If that doesn't work, use a machete.

In most cases, badly.

Sometimes, though, a cigar is just a cigar. And a mysterious tower that never leaves your field of vision no matter which direction you look is just a mysterious tower that never leaves your field of vision no matter which direction you look.

OM, if you had to be one of Batman's villians, which one would you be?

OM, when will I get a plotline?
