Very cool, I loved the Cramps back in the day! I saw them play in Tampa a long time ago. Haven't heard anything from them lately, I wonder if they're still making music.

Great song! I had never seen the video before so thanks for posting the link ♫♪♫♪

I love all the enthusiasm for the triple-Kal and so disappointed to miss it today! Yesterday was fun doing the theme event from a hotel on my laptop for the first time 😄 but today we are checking out by noon to drive home. Have a wonderful fun time, my friends, and I'll be in game later today to wrap up the weekend!

Midnight Scars - EM/EA Brute 🎵🎶🎼

Thanks, Trixie. I had a good time too even though I was playing from my 17" laptop in a hotel room, with no instinctive knowledge of where to find the keys on this keyboard. I hope I tanked okay. I was determined to get the pics up before I left for the afternoon because I knew I had a lot of plans and wouldn't be back until late tonight and with no mindset for doing anything technical. 🍹I'm so glad I got to participate even though out of town.

Sutter Task Force in Red/White/Blue costumes Saturday, 8/28/2021

Thanks, Ban! Scars by Papa Roach is the only version I'm familiar with.

It still applies to Midnight Scars. 🙂 🎵

@TrixieKixx: For Sutter I will bring my fire/TW tanker again, Norse Goddess.

That was incredibly fun today! A nice assortment of low level missions that we cut our teeth on back in the day. Very nostalgic. 🙂 And besides the new shinies today, a decent amount of merits too, worth several million. Thanks for running this. I'll miss the Triple-Kal next week. Have fun!

"Burnination Squad" - title compliments of @FrauleinMental All Fire - Silver Mantis SF Saturday, 8/21/2021 Rich aka @TraumaTrain, trying to toss his balls as if this is a 90s-style DOS adventure game where you have to guess which commands to type!

That works fine for me, my fire tanker needs that badge too. She has not come out to play very often.

Sleeper-toon, I like that word. I haven't used fire much. I've used ice a LOT and I think that's reflected from my love of cold weather and snow. There's just something about cold iciness that gives me a thrill. Mr. O'Hallows, yay! I remember last year when you won the contest with him. 🙂

Sign me up with my TW/fire tanker, Norse Goddess.

Sounds great! I thought I was going to be unable to join, but got my weekends mixed up. I'll be there on my DM/reg scrapper, Midnyte Shadow.

Since @Bananiac couldn't join us today, I will do my own recap of today's Nerdy Citadel. (btw, Ban, you may not have been with us today, but I'm pretty sure your face was channeled through Cheeto Fingers!) @TraumaTrain: Great story. Clever and witty, as usual. Even your badge title fit the concept. And that t-shirt! @TrixieKixx: I almost went with the shirt and tie but then decided to go for "sporty nerd" instead. Love those jeans you picked! @Vigilant Vergil: Combat platform boots, love it! @Jaxman100: Nothing nerdy about those pretty glowing swords. 🤩 @TygerDarkstorm: So glad you got to join us and show off that costume you made. That shower's loss was our gain! Well, the fishheads won today as the most popular costume piece with 4/6 of us choosing those. And Rich and I had the same idea to pair up the knee-hi socks with long shorts. LOL. Rich took the time to write some trivia for his character to share with us throughout the whole TF. 10 real facts and 10 Paragon real facts. You decide which is which! And now, without further ado, is the whole collection! Cheetos were first introduced in 1948 and were invented by Charles Elmer Doolin. Ha ha... Elmer. A couple years ago, Statesman cam to my plant to sell Rikti War Bonds. While he was there, he was attacked by Knockdown! It made such a huge mess of the poof everywhere and we were shut down for two weeks to clean it up! Cheetos are made by Frito-Lay, which is a subsidiary of PepsiCo. I like Pepsi too, but working at the Cheeto plant in Kings Row is a lot more fun! A few years ago, they opened another plant in Astoria. But... it's all dark and gloomy there now and no one seems to have any contact with the people who worked there. Did you know it takes 5,000 cows to make a year's worth of Cheetos? I think Cheetos must be popular everywhere. I saw a news clip of some Rikti being taken away by Longbow guys and I SWEAR ONE OF THE RITKI HAD REALLY ORANGE FINGERS! Cheetos mascott is a really cool tiger named Chester, but the original mascott was a simple, unnamed mouse. I'll bet it was Elmer! Speaking of Cheetos! Crey Industries recently made a contract with us for 3000 cases! They must really like Cheetos! Back in 2001 there was a flavor named Cheetos Mystery Colorz. They were supposed to turn your tongue orange! I should change my name to Cheeto Tongue! Ha ha! Oh! Last year there was this small time villain dude named Green Gobbler tried to turn all of our product green! What a loser! I think he's a Manticore villain. I head Vandal on TV once. He was trying so hard to sound like Bane from Batman! You like Flamin' Hot Cheetos? They were invented by a janitor at a Cheetos plant in Kansas City! did you know Hero 1 took a bag of Cheetos with him when Omega Team went off to the Rikti home world? It was my favorite flavor too! Jalapeno Cheddar! Did you know the annual retail sales of Cheetos worldwide is about $4 billion?! The World's Largest Cheeto weighed 8 tons and was presented in Galaxy City! A lot of people deny the claim though because it was made up of 100,000 individual Cheetos glued together. Cheese and Bacon Balls! Ha ha! That's the only flavor being sold in Australia at this time! Do you think they have Cheetos in Praetoria? It would be kind of sad if they don't. What do you think they have instead? I feel bad for those people now... 😞 It takes 19 minutes to make each batch of Cheetos at the plant in Kings Row! I heard Dr. Vahzilok uses Cheetos poof in his resurrection potions. Do you think that's true. I hope not... That would just be wrong! One time, I was attacked by some of those crazy weird plant creatures in Talos. They almost got me but I was able to escape by throwing a bag of Flamin' Hots at 'em! Sooo now I always carry an extra bag.

Nerd costume themed Citadel TF Saturday, 8/14/21 Welcome to Nerdville! Great time today with my fellow nerds 🙂

LOL, you must feel like a yo-yo with your plans going back and forth all week. Great look you made there, maybe you can use it on another theme one day. Have a fun time at that shower (if you indeed wind up attending 😄 )

Nice hearing from you! Trixie and I were just talking about you last week, that we miss having you join us. Keep your eye 👁️ on us and come back when you can!

I'll be there Sunday for Tarikoss/zombies on Stinging Embers, fire/WP sentinel

Sign me up with Coconut Patty, BS/Inv Brute

I must be losing my mind... my sister just reminded it that our Orlando weekend isn't until the 27th! So count me in for Citadel, for sure!

I'll be in Orlando next weekend but will get there Friday night and test the hotel wi-fi connection on my laptop. So I'm tentative but will sign up and if I can't play I'll let you know in plenty of time.

Good idea, it allows for a broader variety of choices. I interpret it as the traditional "nerd" look that we know from movies.... schoolbookish, librarian-type, socially-awkward, unfashionable clothing. The heroes will be straight-laced goody-goodies, and the villains will be the ones that end up psychotic serial killers when they grow up.

I understand completely, I hate that too! Nobody wants to be a moocher, right? I had temp ally rez power but would've had to tp you to safe spot to use it and I don't typically get tp on my characters. This makes me rethink that idea though!
