Welcome to......

Kill This Thread LVIII

The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

I wonder if I can make this a hat trick.

Depends how many hats you want to wear.

Hats off to Thoth!

We should probably keep a tally of how many threads each has killed! (but i'm too lazy to do that)

You'd be miles ahead, Ibby.

And wearing too many funny hats

Those are deadly funny hats, I think

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

No Annfie! Don't fall into the trap!

It's a trap!

Yes, admiral!

Well now I'm hungry for calamari

With tartar sauce!

And a little bit of lemon...

Maybe some sweet chili sauce for those who want an alternative to the tartar

This thread got saucy quick!

*cue cream pies flying around*

I managed to keep one of the cream pies intact, and I ate it. Yum.

good job, Fanfie!

I tried that with a moon pie. It didn't go so well

Please don't moon the diners, GL

Moons of Colu! This thread is illogical!

Too late

Too Late for Love:

Oh, dear!

Dear Prudence:

And Patience, Charity and Temperance

also Fe, Esperanza, Corazon and Alma...

I have none of those things.

you need to pray more

Are you telling him he should pray with his tongue sticking out??

I keep praying, but I never answer the mail

if Spark and Sensor can do it...

If the wind changes, you'll all be stuck like that.

It's like drafts. They affect everything.

Such rumours result in empty properties facing those winds. Those countries conscript people to live there and face them. The draft draft.

note to self: don't move to any of these places.

Or put my eye out

Brilliant, we should have used Nightwind against the Emerald Eye!

I'm reading my way through raz's awesome work on bits, where Nightwind gets a chance to shine, and gust.

This explains Nero Wolfe, who is also from the Balkans.

From his wiki entry:-

Archie Goodwin's first prose story was published by Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, which warned him he could not use Archie Goodwin as a pen name because it was a Rex Stout character in the Nero Wolfe books. According to Goodwin's wife Anne T. Murphy, the magazine's editors "then were so delighted when he wrote back to say that it was his real name that they used the anecdote as the introduction to the story, which ran in the July 1962 issue."[11] (It was actually the July 1964 issue.)

When I was young, I always read Ellery as Celery, for some reason.

Celery Queen could be the new Chlorophyll Kid

But its pronounced the same.

Like Gim and Jim.

Or Vi and Veye?

PS, you're up next on Legion Trivia, GL

Reminds me to come up with a non Legion question.

There is no such thing as a non-Legion question.

That made my brain hurt.

Like a brain freeze...

ICE CREAM!

we all scream for ice cream!

I scream randomly in public.

I'm going to avoid you in public...

If only you had some sort of power to make hiding from others easy.

Wha..? Where did Ibby go? I can't see him.

I'd just need to be able to fly and I'd have the trifecta

If you want to copy my Ibby powers, you also need to be able to shoot lasers. Yes, I'm aware my character is very overpowered

You must have been reading too many Jim Shooter stories when you created your character.

dang that Shooter influence!

*on a serious note, I was in a very bad place mentally then, so my Ibby character was a way to escape reality. But we've had a few other OP LMBers over the years, so I fit right in

I can empathize, Ibby. I've written and drawn some of my best work when I was in a bad mental state.

thank you and Fanfie sometimes beauty comes out of pain, though hopefully the pain is transient while the beauty lasts

That was nicely put Ibby

Same - All that writing I did? During Covid and all that suckishness. Trying to get back to the motivational state!

why, thank you, thothy nicd of you to say!



hopefully it won't take another pandemic to do it!

I know - that would be horrible indeed!

definitely not certain I could take another lockdown!

Nearly the season for getting jabs here.

Had my latest booster yesterday

Did you have a Beetle along with it?

I got mine (and my flu shot) a month or two ago since I was on business travel.

I like Beetle better than Booster. Unfortunately, DC editorial has always seemed to feel the opposite.

I prefer Beetle as well, though Booster's solo series (after infinite Crisis) did elevate him in my eyes

Wein's Beetle reran a number of older plotlines, with a good premise. At series end they felt there wasn't the appetite to have a '60s hero again. However, some of the subplots went on for ages. Also, the series was supposed to continue/ relaunch in a different format. Ted's JLI success and some other decisions stopped that.

I liked the idea of a corporate hero. Someone who approaches it differently. Jurgens had him use his powers differently in those early issues too. There was a lot that could have been done with him.

I never read that series. Kind of wish I had. He was an interesting character.

does make sense that some costumed super heroes would be in it for fame and fortune

Wally West was in the JLE partly for a paycheck.

But that makes even more sense when I think that was during the period when he had to consume enormous amounts of calories to replace what he burnt up running, so cash was a real issue. (He was rich briefly after winning the lottery but I don't think that lasted long. Can't remember.)
