The 'Stately Wayne...' just reminded me of the Batman TV show so much. Weird, it would be the second reference to it I'd seen today...I've already posted a picture of Caesar Romero's barely disguises moustache!

Yes. And he "accused" someone. Clearly we were referencing the character, thereby drawing attention to the demise of the traditional boardgame format and how it has been overtaken by modern technology.Seriously Unserious wrote:That name reminds me of the classic board game, clue. Colonel Mustard? Colonel Wayne Mustard?
Re: The Silly and Tiny Christmas Story Discussion 2006 / 201
Not sure what you are going on about, you'll have to give me a 'Clue'
And by clue I mean the Tim Curry film.
Also, nice to see not one but two of my posts sneak in before yours OB

But double "me!"s, each ending with a closed quotation marks? It would have been crazy!beowuuf wrote:Nooooooooooo, the double meeeees were so good!
Plus really I should change mine as the double poster, to save on a second double post based on you changing yours after somjeone posts in reply.
Alos, the androgny/angrogynous thing was a fun tag, but neither meakes sense, so I might yet change it....
I know you should have changed, but I thought if I was quick enough it would be easier to make sense editing mine.
Edit: and yes, more double posts here than in the actual story thread!

Although I recently had a blackout that lasted for hours and could have used a traditional board game as that doesn't require electricity, which, unfortunately, modern technology does. Man was I relieved when the power came back on and could once again use my modern technology. The one saving grace was that my wired into the wall phones were still working so at least I was able to talk to a friend during the power outage.

You're right, this is a lesson to us all - invest in long life batteries!

For dinner I had baked black beans and bbq chicken, and pumpkin pie for dessert, delicious.

Before I even urge someone to correct my word forwards, OB's done in. Nice one! I was thinking outhouse, rather than a real band. Cool save

Landed By the way, I think it's tradition that we try and include all 24 Champions and there are still a few that need an introduction... perhaps that's our stretch goal?

That would be a good idea. I think Alex Ander , and Boris are still missing, but I'm not sure who else.
EDIT: OK, I just made up a list of characters who have been included in the story so far:
Update2: Boris is now in the story, only Alex is missing

you too OB. Hope you have a good visit at home.
Re: The Silly and Tiny Christmas Story Discussion 2006 / 201
Once more serendipity aids us! Gambit, we double posted I think, but luckily I had already used a comma, so it simply sounds poetic as the sentence was already being. I like it!
Re: The Silly and Tiny Christmas Story Discussion 2006 / 201
Lol, Balgorgwards - nice one!
And of course, the Gothmog link comes in to play!

If we're looking to have every DM character make an appearance in the story, the only one still missing is Alex, all others have been used at least once.

Re: The Silly and Tiny Christmas Story Discussion 2006 / 201
I should probably read the whole story at some point - so far I've just been reading what's on the current page and adding a word that happens to fit into the sentence at that point . The Balrog thing was pretty much asked for, really, since the "downwards" thing seemed to be calling out for a reference to "digging too deep" - a combination of the fact that I'm a watcher of the Yogscast (on YouTube) and am reading Fellowship of the Ring and have just reached Balin's tomb made that word an easy one to come up with, even if I did sort of make it up .
I also put in a vorpal hamster somewhere back near the beginning...well, someone else supplied the "vorpal" bit...

Re: The Silly and Tiny Christmas Story Discussion 2006 / 201
I think I was the one that supplied the vorpal part. At the time I was thinking of a vorpal blade, but the vorpal hamster was funny.
I've read the full LOTR trilogy and loved all 3 of them, and have seen the movies and they definitely did credit to Tolkien's story. I've also read The Hobbit as well, and loved it too. I'm sure the movie will be very well done rendition of the story as well, and definitely plan on seeing it.reading Fellowship of the Ring and have just reached Balin's tomb

The vorpal hamster is a call-back to a previous one-word-at-a-time story. One from ages ago. I seem to recall that someone then drew a picture of a vorpal hamster. I think it had red glowing eyes.
