Sigdi vs. O-Chul

[Peelee]

Beats ‘‘In gun we trust’’.

I've never been so offended. It's guns. Plural.

[Fyraltari]

Beats one taken from a salad recipe.
Yeah, yeah, that's the old one. But the new one is too political
Grey Wolf

I learned something today. And it is hilarious.

[Fyraltari]

I've never been so offended. It's guns. Plural.

The singular denotes the concept. I'm not talking about a single object.


Edit: And it sounds better. Fact.

[Peelee]

It's abandonment coincides with the rise in obesity. Coincidence? I think not!

I'm not talking about a single object.

So you use the plural.

[Fyraltari]

Have you no concept of poetry!? Of emphasis!? Truly, 'tis is pen who is mightier than sword, not pens and swords.

[Grey_Wolf_c]

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

I make no apologies

What?!? A sword can slice right through a pen. Did the Romans equip their legions with pens? Were portraits drawn of Napoleon holding a pen? Are tales told of the pen of Damocles?

I apologize for Grey Wolf

[Fyraltari]

You people try signing a peace agreement with a sword and then we'll talk.

[The Pilgrim]

So, has this thread got derrailed far enough for a Miko debate to spring? Or it is too soon yet?

Turbines are just a bunch of spinning swords, right?

Any pen given to Bond by Q will be probably far stronger than any sword he meets...

Edit:

Also, if it's Macgyver with the pen, I bet on the pen 11 out of 10 times.

That's cool and all, but I don't see what it has to do with the discussion.

Mal got the agreement using a weapon, was the parallel. He also secures a deal later on with an actual sword, but I like the first joke better.

It may be possible if you are Zorro

Easy to do. Each signatory pulls out sword, runs finger along blade to draw blood, signs in blood. (Using finger).
No pen required.

We actually did that in a D&D campaign back in the late 70's. The signing in blood was a cultural thing with the dervishes we had been fighting ... so of course one of the guys brought an Exacto knife and we each sliced our hands (What? We Didn't Have MTV! We Made Our Own Fun!!And yes, beer was involved!) and then found out how sloppily we each wrote with a blood tipped index finger.

Ah, college days, it's amazing we survived them ...

Your RPG sessions were trully stranger than mines.

You also (hopefully) found out none of the guys using the knife before you had a blood-carried disease.

That's an objectively terrible idea.

Nope, none of us did that. This was the 1970's, before AIDS/HIV got a lot of people to be a bit more careful about such things. (I think a few of the guys wiped it on their shirt before it was their turn ... memory foggy)
As it worked out nothing was amiss by chance, certainly not by design.
What do you expect from a bunch of late teen males doing odd and insane stuff that is nuts - as a habit? Lunacy was the norm.

That's an objectively terrible idea.

Hah. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Doing it in character (in-characters narrating it rather than players do it IRL) is the better idea, of course, but we were nuts so we acted it out. Guys doing guy stuff.
People now bungie jump, and base jump, and other fun stuff.
Beyond that, it is an objectively bad idea to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft, but people still do that too.
Whatever amuses you.

Your RPG sessions were trully stranger than mines.

Yeah. They could turn strange with some rapidity. The most bizarre one involved a few of the guys going out back of the house and smoking some Thai stick ... getting a little odd in the head, and by the time the session was over some of the characters were trying to have an orgy with recently slain undead zombie monsters. Yeah, it was gross to the max.

I don't let things go there anymore. At the time our filters / boundaries were still being formed (to say the least).

Not yet.
We still need to debate star wars.

Sigdi and O'Chul: Kindred Spirits.

And here I thought the thread was going to endup shipping these two, but instead it took a left turn in Tucumcari.......

[woweedd]

Personally, I think the real question is “what would they say to each other, should they meet?”. I’m picturing them just hanging out in a bar, swapping war stories. Not, like, romantically or anything: just two old soldiers, sharing scars.

Sigdi: What's that one, there?
O-Chul: Tattoo. Had it taken off.
Sigdi: Don't tell me. 'Death Before Dishonor.' 'Mother.' 'Semper Fi.' Uhhh... 'Don't Tread on Me.' C'mon, what?
O-Chul: 'Azure City.' 1184.

No, please, don't. Just... don't.

Let's just be thankful the game wasn't being played near a graveyard...

Now that you mention Miko and Star Wars:

It is. Some fan art they commissioned.

How do you think Mike would do as a Jedi?

[Fyraltari]

Mike Skywalker? Is that a cousin of Luke's?

Spoiler: Slightly more seriously

I assumed a different Mike.

NOW I know what happened in The Last Jedi.
