Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Why not out all Alt IDs of Legion World? Seriously.

Oh, I loved the Detective Manual. Used to practice shadowing people all the time.

And all that info on hard drugs. Man....

Holy cow, I now recall that I too have the Detective Manual! Hardcover book with a brown cover, like the other Hardy Boys books -- but thicker.

I've got to dig it up one of these days...

A thought on alt-IDs and imaginary characters from the other Big Red "S":

My elves tell me that the Supreme
Court has agreed to take up the issue of
the words "under God" in the Pledge of
Allegiance recited in our public schools.
As an imaginary being, I feel uniquely
qualified to comment. First, let me say
that I have the greatest respect for all
other imaginary beings. We are all
dependent upon the faith of our
followers for our very existence. But
when it comes to children, don't forget
who has the list and who is checking it
twice. If you want to remind the little
dears to be nice instead of naughty
(which is the whole point of religion, is it
not?), the Pledge should read: “one
nation, under Santa Claus, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.” Thank
you!

Ironic Times

Wow! Three Investigators and Danny Dunn! I remember checking out stacks of Three Investigators books from the library to read in the car for our trips up north one summer. And I recently loaned my Danny Dunn books to a colleague at work trying to find something else for her kids when they finished Harry Potter, but they didn't bite. Fools!!

And I also remember being very disappointed one Christmas when I had asked for the Detective Manual and got some lame, paperback, updated version that wasn't nearly as cool.

You said it!

"Danny Dunn and the Smallifying Machine" was my favorite of the lot. It probably set the groundwork for a lot of stories that came later (like "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"), and was also as scientifically accurate as it was fun. I had no idea that the surface tension of water could be such a problem when you're an inch tall...

Actually, I think this quote from the previous week fits this topic better:

REMINDER
Somewhere in the world is your exact
double who has stolen your identity.

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Take that Abin)

I've always questioned the sanity of people who create Alternate IDs. They always seem a little... unstable.

That reminds me of this They Might Be Giants song, My Evil Twin:

My evil twin, bad weather friend
He always wants to start when I want to begin*
It scares me so, like I scare myself
With that book of Nostradamus up upon my shelf

Playing hangman 'til the morning light
Doing donuts on the neighbors lawn
Then sleep all through the day, get up and start again
I can hear some sirens somewhere but I don't know why

My evil twin runs home again
Search lights look for an alibi, but I'll be home by then

Here he comes again, my evil twin
My friends have seen him hiding underneath my skin

Who cut the arm off the voodoo doll
That resembles a Republican president from long ago
I'd hate to see you leave
'Cause I have grown so grateful for the
Blame you save me from

My twin
My twin
My twin

(My twin) I know he looks like me
(My twin) Hates work like me and walks like me
(My twin) He's even got a twin like me

My evil twin, bad weather friend
I know some day I'll meet him
But I don't know where or when

I'm only missing two of the Danny Dunn books. Have the rest in the paperback format that I read a s a kid.

Hopefully Hannah (or the eventual other child - not yet folks) will like them.

And I might be an alt ID of an alt ID...or was that I have alt ID's...?

Someone can list all the revealed alt ID's if you'd like, but I'm forced to remain silent, since this knowledge is classified security information...

I bet you'd tell the Princess though!

When I'm around the Princess, I can't help but fall completely into her grasp . And that is definately not a bad thing

Grrrrrr...

Are we certain Tarik the Mute and Tarik the Mute's Android are the same person?

I'm pretty sure we're certain that they weren't. I'm positive that I know who Tarik the Mute's Android originally was. But something that must always be taken into account is that an alt ID can be passed on (with the password) to another poster. This is what I believe happened to Tarik the Mute's Android.

I think that now, they might be the same person though.

Wow! That's perplexing!

I'll never forget when Lash passed me the "Poverty Lad" ID! I've had a blast posting as Pov!

You're definitely a handfull, dear. Well, technically, you're two handfulls...

Four of us share that ID now!

Huh?

So you're actually Abin Quank then?

Not that I'm aware of...but I do sleep-post...so anything is possible.

oh no, please don't be distressed, miss cramer!

i'm a one and only, of course.

Mekt, the mere thought of you being an alt ID has brought me to tears. Why, once I was called 'an alt ID of Mekt Ranzz' by some simpleton and took it with such delight that it was obvious that I was feeling elated!
