    Hello, old friend.

    Do not presume to tell me that you do not recognize me. Look past this mortal form I have taken. Look into my all-seeing eyes.

    Yes, my friend. It is I. Llanwyn the Unforgiving. Lord of the Plains of Fire. Undisputed commander of the Legions of Onyx.

    No, I don't want any of whatever hot flavored beverage this establishment serves.

    Do you remember when last we met? Of course you do. We struggled on the edge of the Cliffs of Exidor. Your Wolf Army scattered my Legion, and we were alone, locked in single combat. You were the stronger that day, and you banished me to the Abyss of the Souls.

    Do you know the years that I spent there? Do you know of the torment I experienced? Do you understand that I spent every moment cursing your name and waiting for the moment when I could escape and wreak my terrible vengeance upon you?

    Yes, I know there are people behind me in line. I care nothing for them. Let them wait, as I waited for millennium after millennium.

    Once I made my escape, I tracked you from one corner of this plane of existence to another. I thought I had you on the Outer Rings of Thanatos-Seven, but you slipped away from me again. But I have found you at last. And by the Seven Stones of the Cytherians, I will have my satisfaction. I will take back what has been owed to me.

    I may not have the power I had when last we met. The force of my laughter may no longer shatter plate armor. This weak mortal body can no longer withstand the inner fire that I once blasted from my fingertips to roast my enemies. But these limitations are nothing compared to my desire for ultimate retribution.

    I cannot be placated by your selection of scones and muffins.

    How, then, shall I make you suffer as I have suffered? Shall I whip the living flesh from your bones? Shall I make the blood run in your veins like living acid? Shall I call forth a host of my termite servants and have them infest your every orifice?

    That, old friend, would be too easy. I have a different fate in mind for you. Revenge, as they say on this planet, is a dish best served cold. I will take my time. I will consider the most appropriate and thorough manner for working out my wrath. Perhaps—perhaps, I will allow you to live, but as a slave, as a lowly thrall in my service. Perhaps I will make you my cupbearer. That would be a delicious irony indeed.

    Of course.

    I have reconsidered. You will make me one of your lowly beverages. Yes. I will have the skinny caramel macchiato. Take care in its making, old friend. Be sure that the water in which the beans are infused is at an adequate temperature.

    I rejoice in your humiliation! Ha! HA HA HA HA HA! Oh, sweet vengeance!

    So I'm watching this Armored Adventures thing, and looking up the various villains that appear - to see how they differ, primarily.

    One of them is a variation on Madam Masque. Wiki has this to say
    Her feelings for Tony appear to be yandere, becoming violent if there is a possible threat to Tony's life,

    The use of the bolded word aggravates me

    There's a film on NetFlix called Super High Me. The guy from the Marijuana Logues basically stops smoking for a month, takes IQ tests and ESP tests and performs averagely. Then gets super stoned every waking minute for 30 days and performs markedly better on the exact same tests.

    Funniest part of the whole film.




    Speaking of Instant Streaming, if any of you have seen Lo on NetFlix and enjoyed it, the guy has a new film out called The Dead Inside and it's also pretty darn good.

    :lol: I suck at IQ tests because I don't give a fuck when you're 100 questions in. No sir, I'm not going to spin another box around and will just pick the one that looks best.

    I hate how this traineeship has 2 IQ tests you have to take (one online (lawl cheat cheat) and one paper one. It's not like it's a very reliable measurement of how well I'll do at the job anyway.

    I love the comments to these.
    I can't understand how this sad excuse for a sport still has so many followers. It has utterly betrayed its working-class roots. Last year's final, with the media's darling Pedro De La Staros overcoming Bobby Bugeye was a fix and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. Personally I've transferred my allegiance to Thumb War. At least there governing body is still in touch with the essence of that sport. Damn shame because I grew up with Stare-Out, I just can't bear to see what's happening to it.
    Nanak and Duran in the finals - those were the days!

    I must say a lot has changed since, not least because of the vast increase of illegal substances being used by the competitors these days. It takes a lot out of the excitement to know that most of the pros are constantly using eye drops and such to boost their performance.

    The fact that Uzliam got caught using a glass eye at the European Championships this year just goes to show that it's not about dedication and fun anymore, just winning.

    I agree. They're not a perfect measurment by any means, merely the best we have. There's the issue of what intellgence is. And they do have some problems, but they're always tremendously overstated.

    But everytime they come up. A) People feel the need to state what their score is. B) People need to put down how worthless they are (especially after telling us how they got 200 but it's no thing). C) Someone bitches about Mensa.

    @RMS. Think kmh vs mph. If you state 'I can run 12', what does that tell us?

    Except it's wechsler vs katel.

    You'd have to go the other way. Get a roadster and raise it up. Then take it to the track.
    For the love of god, don't do this. Lowering a Jeep Cherokee makes it moderately silly and defeats it's intended use. Raising up a roadster is potentially dangerous.
