Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill-this-Thread III:The Thread That Would Not Die

ah, that's nothing!

Let us know when you turn down the role of James Bond!

Hey! I made it 5 days, 16 hours and 43 minutes! I was only 1 day, 7 hours and 17 minutes away from winning this thread! Thanks for nothing, Quis!


<span style="font-size: 10px;">Yeah, yeah, I read what's at the bottom of your posts...</span>

Actually, my signature line is a post Outdoor Miner said to me.

At least I didn't wait 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes.

Actually, AFOB, I was also keeping an eye on this thread, and was prepared to step in at the last moment to keep the game going.

It was just your turn to share the agony of the mirage of the finish line being within sight. We've all been there.

I was a nice guy during the first version of this thread and noticed it had been almost seven days since then-newbie WalkWithCrowds had last posted, so I let him have it and he won. Whatever happened to WWC anyway? Haven't seen him in an age.

In my experience,if one walks with crowds, one usually gets lost.

he'd been gone quite a while now.

Miss the wee laddie.

Apparently he hasn't posted since November 20th of last year. He needs to pop in and say hi.

he really does.

There are a lot of folks who go long periods without posting. They usually come back. Legion World is cool like that.

A world of our own-Legion World.

That's right! I can't explain it to people. It must be experienced. Legion World space-rawks!

Somewhere in the distance, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida " begins to play.

While I know what that song is, I really don't quite get the relevance. Even among nerds I'm a nerd.

I recently saw a Halloween episode of "Home Improvement" where that song was used. It's just a cool sounding beginning to the song and it popped in my head when you said "rawks." No, I am nerdier than thou. It had no relevence whatsoever!

I mostly only know what that song is from the Simpsons episode where Bart substitutes it for a hymn in church and calls it "It the Garden of Eden".

Now, actual hymns, I know. I named my dog "Hyfrydol", for cryin' out loud.

I'm not just a nerd. I'm a choir nerd.

Bart wasn't totally making that up. According to rock 'n' roll legend, the song was originally called "In the Garden of Eden," but Iron Butterfly singer Doug Ingle was too stoned/drunk/whatever to sing it properly, so it came out as "Inna Gadda da Vida." Thanks to inebriation, a legend was born.

And I'm a rock trivia nerd.

I've heard that, too.

(the lyric bit - not that HWWey is a rock trivia nerd.)

I don't have any good rock trivia, but I was scowled at by Joe Jackson once.

Joe Jackson? Isn't he the man who gave us the hula-hoop?

Yes, AND the yo-yo.

It happened at Barney's New York, the mid 1980s worldwide epicenter of scowling.

he musta been Steppin' Out.

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, a close friend of mine got to shake hands with Tom Baker-- continuing decades of one-upsmanship [sic] on her part that persist even today.

never met him, or any other Doc. Got to ride in Bessie once. That's my only Who-related bragging right.

I got Patrick Troughton's autograph. It was at a Dr. Who convention in Chicago that feature Mr. Troughton and Jon Pertwee. I saw Mr. Troughton in a hallway and asked for his autograph, which he graciously gave. I was too fan-struck to talk to him after that.
