Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread VI: The 24-Hour Version, Part II

I killed the thread in Kill This Thread V, so I figured I should be the one to start the next thread.

Going back through the prior editions of these threads, one can read some of the best conversations ever on Legion World, so, in the interest of our enjoyment in time to come and a tip of the hat to EDE who originated this concept here and Kent who refined the rules to the current state:

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-sequiturs. Posts that are responses to non- sequiturs are also ineligible to win; however, posts that are responses to responses to non-sequiturs, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible.

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.

Okay, kids, go to it.

Kill this thread!

Should Sunday dinner be lamb curry or turkey? I can't decide.



And BTW, who's going to give the Holiday toast this year w/o Kent? Can't we bribe him to come back for just one day?

Can the <strike>second</strike> third post in the thread be a Non-Sequitur? Alternately is it possible for the fan favorite character "Non-Sequitur" to post something that is by daffynition a NON-Non-Sequitur?

Cleome mentioned Kent, who was also mentioned in the first post, so it is not a complete non-sequitur. There's a rumor about that Kent may make a special appearance for the annual toast.

[Addressed to Quank:]

And to continue on the subject of toasts:

Put down the bottle, Man! It's 8 AM, for pity's sake.

It's 8 where you live, Cleome, but it's 10 here and 11 where Abin lives and midnight where Invisible Brainiac lives.

Rocky, he'll never dry out if you keep making excuses for him! Tsk!

Perhaps paper towels would help? The quicker-picker-upper and all that?

Who wouldn't want to buy paper towels with the likeness of a GL on the wrapper?

(I'd go for the ones with John Stewart. I have a bit of a crush post JLA-AU. I liked him better with hair, though.)

I think I'd want my paper towels to have Alan Scott, though if the towels are made from a wood-based fiber that would be mildly amusing.

The object of this pointless exersise is to Kill This Thread!

Therefore...

<span style="font-size: 30px;">Die You Bastich Thread!!!

DIE!! DIE!! DIE!!</span>

Paid for by the Committee to Kill This Thread! Which, of course, reserves the right to expand the comments contained herein as necessary at some undefined later date.

[gasp!]

I never figured you for a cape man, Rocky!

(BTW, I know this is the correct smilie, but to me it's more like a "whew" smilie than a "gasp" smilie.)


Sorry, Mr. GL. The thread can't die until everyone's voted on Sunday dinner. That's a new rule that I just added. So get on with your vote.

I really really need to increase my typing speed.

Or, just let the typo's go when I post as Abin...

Sunday dinner? Vegan Meatloaf sounds good.

I suppose I find Hal most attractive of the GLs, but I've always had a soft spot for Alan. He and his kids are three of my all-time favorite DC characters. I so miss them!

Oh, dear I think we might need someone with a yellow power ring. I think I should call Karu-Sil.

So what you're saying is that you're abstaining from the vote then?

I'm adding a new rule to the new rule I added: Those who abstain from voting don't win any cake or pie even if they do succeed in killing the thread.

Ppphht.

As far as actual prizes go, as a special limited time offer, if this thread is killed by December 31st by someone who lives in the Continental United States, I will ship them a batch of my famous Toll House Cookies.

I voted, I just didn't vote for your preferred choices. And I didn't want any cake or pie anyway...

thibbbbt...

My money's on Emily. I hear it's those newer members who really possess the killer instinct.

No 3RD Parties allowed! Everyone knows they ruin everything!

And if you don't eat cake or pie, how do you keep your evening cup of tea from getting lonely? Tsk!

Simple, I drink coffee. Darden drinks the tea. Jen bakes wonderful biscuts. Comprende?

THBBBBBT!

These Toll House Cookies, by the way, are the ones that are always requested for me to bring to social functions. I always give every member of the choir I'm in a little bag of them on Christmas Eve.

They're great on their own, or, as a special treat, with vanilla ice cream. Sadly, I will be unable to ship vanilla ice cream, but it is readily available at most supermarkets.

As Emma Frost once said, "Breeding darling, breeding." I have super-villains going back in my family tree for centuries.

As Cookie Monster would say, "COWABUNGA!"
