Had a long and unexpected phone conversation with Doug… just chewed the fat for a few hours. I fear for both of our phone bills come next month. Strange week for old-school reminiscing and pleasant conversation. Would that there were more of them.

Yahoo weirdness tonight.. not sure what happened with that.

Danny sent me a set of Game notes from June of 1995. (With a few revisions for 1997) Where he played a Science Nerd that Changed into a powerhouse that had powers based on Magnetism. Other people of the same team was my Character, miniMAX (A shrinker/grower gadgeteer… sort of Henry Pym with weirdness magnet, a goofy streak, and an intelligent shrunken chimp sidekick), Ghost (Kathleen’s Character with variable Desol / Invisibility & acrobatics), The Aquarian (Doug’s Mystic Master), Mystery (Cathy’s Amnesiac bot-character), and Silver Hammer (Tony’s Flying energy-projector…I remember he had a low Ego & Pre… made for an easily spooked super guy.. looked like the silver surfer in black bicycle pants, usually running away.) The Head of our Team was Agent 13 of “The Agency”. Sort of a cross between Nick Fury and Susan Powter (with the buzz-cut.. wow, I guess she phased that look totally out, and got breast implants & a nose ring… Powter, not Agent 13).

Some of his quotables… (Some are better than others, many are downright cringeworthy-bad, and proper emphasis is important. Remember it is a comic book world)

A bit of morning Newt for my pleasure. 🙂

Black Spot Campaign – the latest Adbusters Campaign. (Via mskaren911)

Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power,
Because consumerism has become our national religion,
Because we’ve forgotten the true meaning of freedom,
And because patriotism now means agreeing with the president,
I pledge to do my duty . . . and take my country back.
