This has single-handedly squashed any desire I might have had to check our Everquest. Oh, the humanity!

Did anyone else think, "Omigod... IT'S MYSTIQUE!" or was it just me?

― Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was thinking more Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, myself.

― Arthur, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan, game board discussion lurker. I'm guessing.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What was the name of the hologram on Jem, Synergie? That's what that looks like.

― Ally, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My God, what have you done to the Oompa Loompas?

― bnw, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I got the link from the ever-mighty True Meaning Of Life website, THANKYEWVERYMUCH. This link was my first introduction to that board. And what an introduction!

― Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nice try at covering your tracks. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

First ILE boxing match: me vs Ned. FITE.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Don't be ridiculous, Dan. I'd keeping punching myself in the jaw.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It would be like FITE CLUB. (Do you SEE...?)

― Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Then you're Brad Pitt, please, take him. BE him. You know you want to.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmm. On the one hand, I get shot in the head. On the other hand, so do you, PLUS I have the bonus of being imaginary. I also get to act absolutely gooney with no repercussions.

Explain to me again why being the Brad Pitt character is bad...?

― Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Duh. You have to look like Brad Pitt and inevitably call up memories of him licking peanut butter in Meet Joe Black and pounding mantlepieces in the thralls of angst in Interview with the Vampire. Admittedly, you do get to appear in Johnny Suede

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, having to look like Brad Pitt would be pure torture. You'd have to be insane! I mean look at him. Women don't like him, either.

― Sean, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Frankly, I would not want to look like Brad Pitt at all, even if given the chance.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh god it IS Mystique! When I was little we used to play X-men characters but never like that...I just read Frankenstein for the first time so I feel like that Blue Creature is going to come alive and follow DarkElf forever. Maybe he's a member of Eiffel 65.

― Evangeline, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, Brad Pitt is a total hag, razor blade faced German fuck. He's down there with George Clooney and Russell Crowe. They're super repulsive, and certainly Edward Norton is way better looking, I mean he's like the king of all faces.

(The serious portion of the post: Dan, you don't want to be Brad Pitt cos then you'd have to fuck Jennifer Aniston, which means you might as well go fuck Barbra Streisand since they're the same person)

(The other serious portion of this post: Sometimes I think Otis looks a little like Edward Norton, which is strange cos really he probably doesn't)

― Ally, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

These defenses of Mr. Pitt's appeal convince me not a jot (especially when bringing the nonentities that are Clooney and Crowe into it). But the Aniston conundrum makes for a better argument to resist transforming-into-Pitt scenarios than anything else I could come up with.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're not alone there, trust me. Oddly, many (other) women dream of being with Brad; many men wish they could be with Jen. I wouldn't mind being in a room with him, either---if only to beat the crap out of him.

I can't believe you wouldn't want to be the mighty Tom Cruise: you would have been married to Nicole Kidman, and had more cash than God. Who wouldn't want that;>?

I'd watch the face-off between you and Dan, certainly. I can run to my bookie and place my bet...

― Nichole Graham, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't believe you wouldn't want to be the mighty Tom Cruise

I would have Days of Thunder and Far and Away on my resume and have been turned into a lobotimized drone, eg a Scientologist. No thanks!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like to point out that I said I wanted to be the Brad Pitt CHARACTER, not Brad Pitt. No one outside the soap industry wants people to spontaneously turn into Brad Pitt.

― Dan Perry, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan, I had to spend a good 40 seconds or so puzzling over whether the "soap industry" referred to the makers of soap operas or if you were making a really obtuse reference to the presence of soap in Fite Club.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was referring to Brad's alleged habit of not washing ever.

― Dan Perry, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now you're just confusing him with Ethan Hawke.

― Pyth, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ew, Ethan Hawke is crusty. "Gattaca" has taken on new dimensions of horror for me. Invalid and pungent, bleah.

I like Ned's assassination of the Cruise resume, but all of that is dwarfed by him smugging his way through "Eyes Wide Shut" and standing on a table and flapping his arms in "Vanilla Sky" (although that second one is also a big mark against Cameron Crowe, who clearly could have said, "CUT! Tom, stop being a COCKFARMER and get off the table.")

― Dan Perry, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

eleven months pass...

REVIVED because the link is gone *sob*.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 16 March 2003 00:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus... almost to the exact anniversary of the thread, too. I was fooled into thinking this thread was new.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 16 March 2003 01:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I always think about how when I become famous and have large parties with other rich and famous people at my house, to include all of the above mentioned luminaries, I plan to spend the days beforehand compiling notes on their respective careers and the utter bombs they've participated in so that when they show up I can say 'Hey, it's that guy from Legend!' and so on and so forth. Of course I'm also an asshole.

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 16 March 2003 01:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought this thread was going to be some kind of prayer, i.e. 'Dear God... can I have world peace and a million in the bank,' or something.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Sunday, 16 March 2003 02:41 (twenty-three years ago)

the latter is looking a great deal more likely.

― MarkH (MarkH), Sunday, 16 March 2003 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

And I thought it was talking about XTC or something...

― kate (suzy), Sunday, 16 March 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

nine years pass...

Everything lies in God's hands

― Sweet Yin Yang ☯ (Latham Green), Friday, 24 August 2012 13:23 (thirteen years ago)

Do God's hands lie in God's hands?

Can God create a hand heavier than he can lift?

Did God create the world by picking his nose and flicking the bogey away?

― ledge, Friday, 24 August 2012 13:27 (thirteen years ago)

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. no - he used gravity and chemistry
