Space Raptor was having a terrible day. Having put itself its physical shell in to hibernation so that its mind could explore higher dimensions, it suddenly woke to discover itself infested with a tiny filthy race of primitive beings calling themselves KAALDARITH.
The name had to be shouted apparently. Everything they said had to be shouted. His biometallic arteries echoed with their shouts. Space Raptor was getting a headache.
The little idiots had caused him to crash in to a planet. They'd pulled apart his nervous system, hacked his ganglia, he was trapped, helpless in his own body.
And now warning bells were screaming at him, some sort of flood of radiation. If only he could get his external sensors back on line.
At least they seemed to be killing each other off now. Maybe the problem would sort itself out if he was just patient for a few short decades. In the meantime, he would see if he couldn't get the gene-factories back on line. A well designed virus or two, and Space Raptor would have silence again, and time to repair its physical shell.

I want to start a religion which worships horned animals and how their fecal matter is what energises the planet through the circle of life. And call it "Bullshit".

The guards series are pretty much the greatest books ever written.
Night Watch, Guards! Guards!, Going Postal, Equal Rites, and Monstrous Regiment are my top favorites. I rather like Lords and Ladies and Thief of Time as well.
Never read Equal Rites, Lords and Ladies, or Monstrous Regiment, the other four are incredible though, as is Making Money and The Truth. Vetinari taking nobby and colon off in Jingo is pretty great, and Thud! and the Fifth Elephant have some of the most epic endings of any book ever.
Reading to his son whlst in a cave and Firework fetch ftw
He does not make Carrot epic enough any more though, he's made him kind of weaker through each book, which I dislike as I always thought he was the superhuman hero parody.
How [strike]have I[/strike] has the good captain deteriorated? If anything, he's grown wiser in the ways of Ankh-Morpork.
I love the way he has been made more intricate and intelligent definitely, the really subtle hints of how he seems to be playing everyone else as idiots with a great act covering his real strength really makes him an interesting character. But having
Anguas brother whoop him so easily was just a little annoying, seeing as he once kicked the crap out a of a whole bar and knocked a troll out with one punch, and it was even made out in the books as though someone like Detritus could take a werewolf. I know he lost a little because he was following those stupid Lawrence de Fantallier rules of fair fighting, but I just thought he could have put up a better fight judging by his past experiences of fighting.
Interesting point, but
Carrot is very smart and very strong. Up until now, it's been rare that he's run into anyone with either characteristic, let alone both. Wolf took him because he knew how to handle Carrot better than Carrot knew how to handle him.
I don't know, it felt like
they just made wolf and werewolves out to be ridicu-strong, even though Vimes was bashing their heads in with sticks and his boot out in the wild, Carrot got his ass handed to him a litle too easily for my taste
It's just the general feel I got from it, and the fact that he is being sidelined more and more now just makes me sad to see this happen to such a fantastic character.
Pilot Inspektor Passer. He named one of his Children PILOT INSPEKTOR! THIS IS NOT A JOKE THAT IS A REAL CHILDS NAME!
Think really hard on this.
Think about who you're talking to.
You're not going to find me agreeing with you on this any time soon.
You have a name! Your name does not become a joke when combined with your last name!
My name is completely made up.
Ishboo. Isla Bonita. Yashla. Yishla. Yizzla. I could go on. They couldn't even make rhymes to mock me in elementary school.
I had a substitute teacher who wouldn't believe me when I told her my name really was Yhsla. She thought it was a typo and insistent on calling me Ashly, then sent me to the principal's office when I wouldn't respond to Ashly.
At least Pilot is reasonable for a boy's name. Unusual, but at least it's a real word, even with the Inspektor surname it's not that unusual. :P

If I were a band and discovered someone had named their kid something stupid because of my lyrics I would personally send a letter of apology to the affected child when they're old enough to realize how awful it is

Maybe this weekend. Gonna try to stay in, spent way too much money last weekend.
ah okay
I started playthrough 2 with my hunter to see how it is at this level
I'm progressing briskly and while the enemy experience is predictably terrible the quest rewards are not insubstantial, which is better than I expected

I was going to suggest we do it multiplayer, and until we run into something that presents a challenge, split up and run two missions at a time.

Weird names are memorable. If your name is Steve or Dave or Sarah or Emma I have a hard time remembering who you are.

Alright Fjordi Jordi Bjordi Fjordi Jordi.
Emma is a nice name. Nice and dull.
I'm not 'murican. I'm not sure I've ever drunk Mountain Dew. I saw some once, it looked like it was for cleaning drains.
My daughter is named after the real and proper Dew.

The whole name-regulation nonsense is, well, nonsense, IMO.

We have different opinions but can still be the best of internet friends.
It actually doesn't bother me now. I wouldn't be who I am if I hadn't learned to deal with idiots early on.

If I ever have kids, they are getting serial number names.
But then how would names ever be created if they had been regulated to 'real names'?
We'd be stuck with Ugg and Grog.
Well good thing that will never happen.
pleasepaypreacher.net
I have a serial number, but they're complimentary to names and not replacements.
As long as you never have children I'm ok with this. :^:

Her name and the maths are going to confuse someone regardless.
