The real deal

I am not lying about the Kickapoo. It is an anctual river. Zoom in on this map once and look directly north of Wauzeka. My dad grew up there.

I had no doubt that it was a real river. I still laughed every time a read it. Kickapoo - what were they thinking?

Kickapoo isn't nearly as funny as Mississippi.
How many rivers have an eleven letter name, but only 4 different letters?
And then theres the fact that the consonats othr than m a always paired!

mississippi is funny, but i think kick-a-poo is funnier

Aside from that, there's also "Kickapoo Joy Juice", from the old Li'l Abner comic strips....

I don't recall the composition of the original (the strip ceased publication in our newspaper when I was about 12 years old, and it only ran on Sundays), but my dad said that his Army buddies--forty-odd years ago, he was posted at Redstone Arsenal, in Alabama-- had their own version for when they were on leave.

Essentially, it was a homemade concoction, using virtually every form of alcoholic beverage available on post, or whatever the cheapest stuff was that could be found in the nearest liquor store (except for beer and straight alcohol (i.e., grain alcohol/ethanol), I think), mixed together in a (hopefully clean!) washtub, jerrycan, or fuel barrel, and with enough fruit-flavored punch added to disguise most of the flavor.

He also told me that there was another version, colloquially called "Purple Jesus". Essentially, it was the same thing, except that it used grape KOOL-AID as flavoring.

The "purple" part of the name is obvious; the rest is supposedly derived from the first pained utterance by a victim when he/she woke up the following day with a splitting headache and a hangover.

The Elf Porn-tthread brought me to another question: can Drop Bears actually cross-breed?

Well, fluid transfers are required, just not the ones you are thinking of.

I do not recall specific prohibition, but it may be there.

I wonder if this thread could crossbreed with the elven porn thread...

Sorry, but I see some problems coming up with wendigo's in porn. For one, I don't see them really ever making it to the 'money shot' before one of them gets 'mouth full' of 'something'. It was a tough decision, by the way, between quotations marks and italics. Thank you for your patience and support.

Of course drop bears can breed. If something as stupid and pointless and a lemming can breed, why wouldn't a drop bear?

Jray - I think we're related or something. Any long lost family of scottish descent?

Clan MacRay (I have no idea how to spell it) as far as I know. Some Scotish, English, Norwegian. My dad grew up in SW Wisconsin.

Sounds like a mix between elf porn, bestiality and snuff films all in one!

there'll always be someone who'll want to watch it. ewwww.

And someone who is willing to sell it.

This thread disturbs me.

Wiki Drop Bears

The Drop Bear conspiracy

The truth has to be revealed.

We're not finished here until Wiki uses this page for reference!

Hate telling you all: But Drop Bears existed in legends much longer than Shadowrun does. ^^

And of course they DO EXIST!!! *lookingtotheskyabitnervous*

Shadowrun exists in myths?

No. But my non-native English does.

ahh... now I feel bad. Should I make you feel better by taking a stab at french? It's the only language I semi-speak. Mais j'aim tres mal avec francais. Mert

Je n'aime pas la langue francaise de tout! And my English is really good - compared to my french. ^^

Bah, French. Reminds of five years in school when i had to learn that "language". Nothing good came ever from France... ok, not much. Wonder what's the French word for Drop Bear, as they even translated computer (micro-ordinateur iirc).

Well, the french revolution was a good thing. It made life more interesting for nobles all over Europe.

Well... yes. But a lot of blood was shed because of this. So not even the few good things of french origin are flawless. Ts...

It was only blue blood. ^^

Possibly they should have used Drop Bear Ninja Commandos to throw over monarchy? Revolution by furry death from above?

Frenchspeaking Ninja Drop Bears? Scary.

mais oui



"Zut alor! Los osos de la gota vienen!"

Did anyone understand what he wanted to tell us??

Probably something ridicoulus. you can't talk about serious topics in french.

"Maintenant nous vous avons ! Les Américains stupides ! HAHA ! "

The number of pages this thread reached shows, how important drop bears are for the game setting. ^^

Oh my God.... I just read the entire drop bear thread .... Oh it hurts......



I have a goal now. To beat the 38 pages of the new years Horror Thread. The Drop Bears WILL BEAT THE HORRORS!

BTW, Oracle, Grinder, where are you guys located at anyways? Ad Jray too for that matter? need to make sure we have 'agents' in as many places as possible after all. Roll call!

Earth -> Europe -> Old Europe -> Germany -> Lower Saxony -> Region of Hannover -> Hannover

wow.... yeah... that's quite a drive to Utah. So does that mean you have Shockwellen then? I've been meaning to buy that and translate it. I'm sure there's something revealing about the conpiracy to make drop yaks in there.

Of course I got Schockwellen. ^^ But I don't like Proteus.

well dandy, when I finally get it downloaded (which'll be never since I'm waiting to get my copy of SR4 first and THAT"ll NEVER friggin' show!), Penta and I (assuming hie's still interestedin working it out) will double check with you for translations. I do German like my 4 year old does his ABC's . (as in, mangle it horribly, then look for help). Luckily though, my google-fu is strong.

Just ask me if you need any assistance.

Milkly Way -> Sol Solar System -> Earth -> That slightly less big other continent -> North of the equator, south of the North pole -> UCAS -> Minnesota -> Ramsey County -> St. Paul -> East side -> That is all you get.

Oh, and I am damn impressed that we got to 500+ posts. Very impressed. Now I just have to dig my shelter and we'll all be OK.

And shouldn't a french laugh be more like "hohn hohn hohnnn"

I want to be a drop bear commando too!

Earth -> Europe -> Old Europe -> Germany -> Lower Saxony -> Region of Hannover -> Adenstedt

(Kept a bit more than oracles format)


Regarding the french revolution: Did you ever ask yourself if they really intended to mount sharp blades on their guillotines (sp?), or if they had to do because drop bears where in short supply?

Germany -> Lower Saxony -> Rotenburg (between Bremen and Hamburg).

Got Schockwellen, it's a nice book.

We have to beat the various "Idiot's Guide To.." threads.
