Ya a regular silver bullet would be too soft. the muzzle velocity of a normal gun would vaporize it
uh, lead is like one of the softest metals out there. and it's used for its density.
yeah, but we put copper around it so it doesn't go all squishy
but I guess you could kinda take like a full jacketed round, file off the jacket at the tip making it a ghetto half-jacket, then put a silver "cone" on the tip
Actually lots of people do lead castings for reloading.
And you can buy unjacketed rounds pretty easily, too. My dad has a few boxes of unjacketed .45 rounds that he uses for plinking.
That sounds like it should be a sex term in Urban Dictionary

Doesn't pretty much every supernatural everything die if its head is cut off?
Yes, which is why he's over thinking it. Large amounts of explosives kill everything.
Unless you're playing Shadowrun, in which case some spirits will take reduced damage depending on how corporeal they are and how much intent is behind a strike.
Then your problem there falls into the "Didn't use enough" category. Although the amount you'd need to kill a Great Dragon does fall into the "cackling gleefully" category.

Someone needs to start pointing out to conservatives that if enough of them move to Canada, they can basically control the whole country. There's hardly anyone there.

Honestly, that sketch might be one of the best I've ever seen. It's amazing in every way. The way they keep refilling their drinks from 3 separate, but identical, decanters. The constant cursing and general exaggerated man-ness. And custardy.

And depending on how much silver you actually needed for good effect, you could just mix in a percentage of it to save money and maintain performance. You still would want something frangible or mushrooming though, so as to avoid your expensive rounds zipping through the werewolf or whatever.

It didn't work back when all the liberals were threatening to move if Bush got elected.
Just want to make sure I'm doing this right. I'm tired of switching discs in Bladur's Gate, since my 3rd disc is so scratched it takes forever to read it, so I'm copying the discs to my HD and then modifying the .ini file.
Here's what the .ini file looks like to begin with:

Insect spirits were always bad mojo. But seriously, I'd rather face a hive of those then run the Arcology again. The group I played in did that a few times. At least with an insect hive you could identify the hostiles pretty easily.

Reminds me of a story with some guy melting down his coins to hunt a werewolf.
Does [chat] want to help me parse a pair of sentences? Of course you do!
"Mimicry does not merely destroy narcissistic authority through the repetitious slippage of difference and desire. It is the process of the fixation of the colonial as a form of cross-classificatory, discriminatory knowledge in the defiles of an interdictory discourse, and therefore necessarily raises the question of the authorization of colonial representations"

Also, if we're talking supernatural beings, isn't a lot of what hurts them rooted in faith?
I'm going by sci-fi here, but I remember cults of vampires that used sunlight in small doses until they built a tolerance to it, or weren't affected by holy water or crosses either because they felt righteous in their beliefs, or the one using the weapons did not.
I mean, it's not the same if we're assuming the supernatural have a weakness due to allergic reaction, but still, other than fire or beheading, I'm not sure any of the other stuff would actually work.

They're a call for help. They're saying "Please kill me, I can't stop writing horrible wordy bullshit."

Also, the "Tideyman's crisis" is a reference to the beginning of the episode where they mention they're being sponsored by Tideyman's Carpets and they have to work it into their sketches.
God damn it don't you quit on me! That's not nearly the hardest pair of sentences in the thing. "Within the conflictual economy of colonial discourse which Edward Said describes as the tension between the synchronic panoptical vision of domination - the demand for identity, stasis - and the counter-pressure of the diachrony of history - change, difference - mimicry represents an ironic compromise."

It's all how each individual writer wants to make his vampires.
While you guys are making me feel better about struggling with Homi Bhabha's "Of Mimicry and Man: The Ambivalence of Colonial Discourse" I am not seeing any parsing! :P

slippery slope
you could say a high-carbon knife isn't "really iron" either since there's so much processing involved in refining it from actual iron ore
Mmm, insect spirits.
so little time
so many people to stab......

er, no?
there is no iron at all in a normal bullet
