Vester, you are made of awesome! ^_^

[ToonyMan]

DUKE.  GET ON MA BACK NAO.

[zchris13]

Someone needs to set Ed's head on fire.  Wait, I forget.  Which Ed(d)(dy) is your avatar, ToonyMan?

Obviously not Eddy.

So it is Ed? Alright.

[ToonyMan]

Yes, setting Ed's head on fire would be grand.  Not now though.  Senitive pads don't do well.

[Vester]

... Does anyone else have writingy things?

(I'm stuck, plotwise...)

[ToonyMan]

Me too.  I don't know what my protagonist is going to find down underground.

[Duke 2.0]

I feel a avatar change coming on for Duke.

How I wish. It is stupidly difficult to crop an animated GIF, even one as simple as blinking.

[Armok]

Can't you just break it appart, crop each frame separately, and then make a new gif from those?

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I'm finished with mine now.

Spoiler:  Fighting, fighting everywhere conclusion (click to show/hide)

He would have continue watching the battle, if it were not for the momentary distraction of something blocking his vision for a split-second as he followed Sofia on the warpath. Re-adjusting his vision, he zoomed out and saw that it was a massive, thick, cable going from the building he was on to near the top of the monolithic edifice that was supposed to be his target. He realized what he would have to do and sighed; this was going to take a while. With great hesitance he began to go down the stairs behind him and moved through the still eerily empty building to a window two floors down.

From here he was just beneath where the cable came out of the building, and he started to grab a hold of it. It was then that he really began to realize that it would be a miracle if he could pull this off, but it was just about the only way he could think of. With that, he began the tedious, slow climb. Since not everyone wishes to hear about how he ever-so-slowly made his way along the cord, it shall be skipped entirely, as it's far long and about as interesting as watching paint dry.

Now we come to him climbing up the side of the target building. It seems that someone has locked and reinforced every single window up here, so he is now forced to navigate the exterior, it's amazing that he has not already fallen off. He climbs up and up the building, unable to find even a single window that he can enter until he's just a single floor from the top, where he can see that the final floor has a wide window on his side that gives a ledge big enough for him to stand on. As he clambered up he smiled, he was there. It was just too bad that Cthulhu slammed into the building, causing him to lose his footing and fall.

It was not the fall that killed him, it was the kinetic energy of the fall almost liquefying him on impact with the ground, followed by a bomb designed to dispose of his body and equipment in case of something like this. Although he himself was unable to complete the mission, the same outcome was achieved by the building being completely destroyed later in the battle. In any case, when the bomb went off a few lights changed on handful of computers back at the spacecraft he called home, and a timer began to count down on an edifice that bore the generic look of every cryotube, humanoid specimen jar and cloning tank in every science fiction production ever.

The first thought that went through the newly cloned Martian's head was "I'm just going to grow myself a new eye this time."

Well, seeing that nobody has any stories to share I guess I'll jump start this thread with one of my school work essays.  I thought it was particularity dwarven so I'm showing it off guy.

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory

   The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was not the brightest moment in US History.  On March 28, 1911 143 people were killed by horrible and shoddy working conditions.  Blanek and Harris the factory owners should have been charged with SOMETHING, but sadly no.  They were free to go on their ways after murdering 143 people.  Why you might ask?!  Simple, they said the workers has the right to not work there, but they did.  How screwed up is that?!
   First of all, the building wasn't built up to snuff.  It was a 9 story building with crowded passage ways and few exits.  They designed it so they could jam as many bodies as they could in there to kill.  People literally had to climb over each other during a normal day.  No wonder so many people jumped, so there could possibly be saved instead of getting trampled and smoke lunged.
   Second, the damn front door was locked during the fire.  I'm pretty sure THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE UNLOCKED.  One of the reasons Blanek and Harris got away with it is that they "didn't know" the front doors were locked.  I bet the back and side doors were too!  Why they locked?  I don't know, but I bet it was planned from the beginning.
   Thirdly, the only reason these two got off the hook is because they're rich, white folk.  They hired one of the best defense attorneys in the world (seriously, how?) and were able to put enough doubt in the juries mind that the two slime balls got a not guilty verdict.  In think this "doubt" is the fact that the survivors of the fire didn't have matching testimonies.  WELL OF COURSE.  Do you believe a sweat shop worker in a smoke filled madhouse will remember anything?!  CRAZY.
  Well, just to say, the two guys eventually had to pay for their murders after 3 YEARS.  You know what the fine was?  $75 per person.  This was back in the 1910's, but I mean COME ON.  These guys make this much money in a week!  The court only did it so the widows would be a little be happier.  AFTER THREE YEARS.

I can't tell if the horrible grammar is on purpose or not, but it probably is.

[ToonyMan]

What horrible grammar?!

[Neruz]

Oh god this thread is back.

[Armok]

Because barbosa dosn't seem to update the collections any more, could someone make a list of all the mayor story posts?
