When he does go, he'll be #3 on my Lunch List.
That being, the list of Dead People I'd want to have lunch with. (It'd probably be easier to book him post-mortem, too) The other two being Isac Asimov and someone I can't recall at the moment (damn it). |

Don't mean to rant, but the law's there for a reason. Stabbings happen far too much here, it's practically a rite of coming of age, to stab someone. Makes Sense... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I may have to rethink my idea of moving there to open a Texas style BBQ place....
"What the hell is this?!" "Don't stab me, bro!" |

The law didn't target violence. It targeted stabbings. But don't know, 'cause it's Britain. Maybe should check that new-fangled thing, the "interweb". I think he asks because he knows it hasn't helped. At all. If you're willing to break the law to stab somebody, you're willing to break the law to carry a knife. In fact, it's awful nice for criminals, knowing that illegal weapons are the only weapons around not carried by people with a response time measured in minutes longer than it takes to commit a crime and then leave. That resolved, our political commentary segment is concluded. We now return to our regularly scheduled awesome quotes. |

That resolved, our political commentary segment is concluded. We now return to our regularly scheduled awesome quotes. One more thing. The word "knife" and related words/verbs above can be easily changed with other words. In any event: has that author though about willingly infecting himself with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease? First off, he'd lose mental faculties faster than he's losing physical ones; and second, for science! |

I think he'd be more interested in doing it "For Magic!" than "For Science!". Same-difference, however.
... Damn I wish I had a group now. Shadowrun on the Discworld would be... Interesting. (And, yes, I was making a reference to the fact that criminals that break greater laws will have little to no respect for lesser ones as well. Semi-Political, yes, but I thought also somewhat on topic on a forum dealing with anti-social, borderline-sociopathic, neo-anarchistic mercenaries that shoot people in the face for money.). |

I agree completely, if you couldn't tell. Just saw a potential weapon control debate brewing, and that's one of those things that gets ugly fast. The thread's actual topic is much more fun.
Wish I had quotes to share of my own, but I submit to you WWW.drmcninja.com. The extremely Pink Mohawk adventures of a doctor who is also a ninja. Of the McNinja family. Recently he used a dead pterodactyl as a kite, towed behind a motorcycle, which then drove through a tunnel. His aerial acrobatics skills let him fly into the tunnel, flying alongside the motorcycle, shouting "SKIIIIIILLZ!" Also, Thor's lines in Earth's Mightiest Heroes. "I tire of these... geeks." |

Scary part is: This is the stuff I've edited for public consumption. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) I doubt you've gotten up to Ryumyo and Lung slash fiction yet, though. Chrysalis actually did a fairly good job with that. (I've seen some slashes in my time. *monocule*) |
