I'm starting to become covinced that there is a much larger segment of society than I had thought that has a really weird relationship with cartoons.
I went to NYC Comic-Con with my girlfriend dressed as Fred and Daphne from Scooby-Doo. We soon found that a lot of people were a) really into Daphne as a child, and b) awkwardly forward about it.

Do you recall any choice quotes? I'm desperately curious what these people say, how they spin the act of going up to a girl and telling her that she dresses like a cartoon they had a thing for.
ITT we find out jacob gets off to awkward nerd come ons to people dressed as cartoon characters. Senj looks on approvingly.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
The guy who makes palladium games is basically insane and has refused to update his systems for going on like 30 years now. He insists he got it all right the first time and only sellouts like D&D update their rules.
He's a pretty weird guy. But better he make his living this way then ranting on the street.

That honestly sounds like someone's peculiarly inventive nightmare.
Like something four young people and their dog might want to investigate, perhaps? :P

On the other hand, Palladium is still in business. For all his crazy, that guy outlasted TSR (D&D), FASA (original developer of Shadowrun, Earthdawn etc..), Iron Crown (Rolemaster), Game Designers Workshop (Traveler) among many others.

Weren't those more a matter of interpersonal squabbles and power struggles than bad business models?

They had some thing recently where they almost went under because some long term employee embezzled funds or something.
Britain tends to mythologise thieves rather than murderers.
Or people like Charlie Bronson, who is basically a violent attention whore.
EDIT:
On 12 November 2010, Bronson was involved in another incident in Wakefield prison’s F Wing, when he stripped naked, covered himself in butter and attacked six guards. Covering himself with butter apparently made him harder to control. Another six warders were brought in and finally restrained him.

Yeah. They turned it around though. They're currently doing fine (at least as fine as they ever have done, it's a small shop).

I've been meaning to watch that movie.
The guy holds or held several World Records for physical strength, as well as "Most rooftop protests by a prison inmate".

It was nothing particularly inventive, just stuff like "oh man I thought Daphne was so hot when I was little!" or "she was my first crush," or "Daphne's really sexy!" I think they were all just thrilled at having the chance to tell an attractive girl what they thought of her to her face.
In 1994, while holding a civilian librarian hostage at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, he demanded an inflatable doll, a helicopter and a cup of tea as ransom. Two months later, he held deputy governor Adrian Wallace hostage for five hours at Hull prison, injuring him so badly he was off work for five weeks.[4]
In 1998, Bronson took two Iraqi hijackers and another inmate hostage at Belmarsh prison in London. He insisted his hostages address him as "General" and told negotiators he would eat one of his victims quickly unless his demands were met. At one stage, Bronson demanded one of the Iraqis hit him "very hard" over the head with a metal tray. When the hostage refused, Bronson slashed his own shoulder six times with a razor blade. He later told staff: "I'm going to start snapping necks – I'm the number-one hostage taker." He demanded a plane to take him to Cuba, two Uzi sub-machine guns, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and an axe. In court, he said he was "as guilty as Adolf Hitler", adding, "I was on a mission of madness, but now I'm on a mission of peace and all I want to do now is go home and have a pint with my son." Another seven years were added to his sentence.[4]
In 1999, he took Phil Danielson, a civilian education officer, hostage at Hull prison.[3] He can be seen in CCTV footage singing the song "Yellow Submarine", walking around with a makeshift spear[citation needed] (after having caused havoc inside the prison) and causing the wing to be locked up for over 40 hours.
In 2007, two prison staff members at Full Sutton high security prison in the East Riding of Yorkshire were involved in a "control and restraint incident", in an attempt to prevent another hostage situation, during which Bronson (who by now needed spectacles) had his glasses broken. Bronson received £200 compensation for his broken glasses,[11] which he claimed were made of "pre-war gold" and given to him by Lord Longford

I don't think that's all they wanted to do to her face.

That's one of Preach's favorites.

UK prison guards aren't routinely armed with firearms.
Anywhere that gets targeted by terrorist groups a lot (like Maze) usually has dedicated firearms officers, but they don't carry them around.
