You get moonshine ... moonshine.

I insert a promptly critical nuclear reactor, intending to send this infernal contraption to meet its maker, and render the land around it unapproachable for several generations.

You just want to be loved. This is a complete description of your state. Nothing will ever alter it, including actually being loved.

I encompass, and I eclipse.

Samik

I don't know what "a meta" is in this context. I think it's a mafia thing. (Edit: quick search of Peaceful Whale's post history confirms.) Never played on this forum, but somehow came to read a thread on it the other day. Basically, they've all spent so long playing, through so many diffe...

There are currently 22 threads with a higher post:view ratio on the first page of forum games.

Therefore, I have to assume there's something else going on here.

I've got my eye on you.

Samik

You get a finely prepared meal based around a not-readily-identifiable-but-nonetheless-delicious protein dish.

I insert a vending machine.

Samik

Granted. Your virtue is recognized posthumously, and the whole world loves your memory.

I wish to be loathed.

Samik

You get morbidly obese Jim from accounting.

I insert something smallish, but palm it carefully so that no one can see what it is.

Samik

Well I can't possibly pass up the opportunity to use:

thon [1][2][3]

Samik

You get a frog of the opposite gender. Life, uh, finds a way.

I insert ice-nine.

Samik

What is positive for your health and well-being is highly subjective. Pleasure, security, and challenge don't always go hand in hand. You eventually wind up clinically immortal and flawlessly healthy, strapped to a bed for safety, and pumped up on endorphins etc. Endless, uninterrupted bliss, for al...

Samik

Aah, forget it. I already know how this one ends.

I'm Mr. Blissful Ignorance. I'm capable of being blissfully ignorant of absolutely anything negative that happens to me.

Samik

I can make people pay no attention at all to me They were already doing it anyway. All right, time to bring out the big guns. I'm Leto II Atreides, God Emperor of Dune, first human / sandworm hybrid, who walks the Golden Path, and can see all possible futures simultaneously. Any crazy, unexpected o...

Samik

It's technically true because you're the only survivor of a global apocalypse, so there's not actually any competition, or anyone to appreciate your accomplishments. On becoming aware of me, people are irresistibly motivated to see me gratified. They would never dream of doing anything to reduce my ...

Samik

I do it quickly, without malice. As the blade slides in, you see in my eyes that, so far as I can, I understand. You feel the pain, in an abstract sort of way, but this is far from your first violent death; your mind is elsewhere now. As your blood pressure drops and your vision fades, your inner mi...

Samik

Darn. I tried.

Ginger wrote:BUT: I am deathly afraid of dying so.

Would it get me anywhere to point out that I can save you from infinite future deaths?

You are going to die. Over and over and over again, forever.

I can stop it.

I'm the only one who ever can.

Samik

The idea being that I'd stay anonymous and low profile, train in all sorts of conventional combat techniques, then stalk a super hero, and when I sprung my trap, they'd find themselves suddenly a totally ordinary person, and have no time to react or understand what's going on as I bear down on them...

There's a serious problem with this thread. In order to participate, you have to read the previous post. But then, you're on a cliffhanger unless you read the post it's responding to, and so on. You end up either having to embrace a cliffhanger you'll never get the answer to, or reading all the way ...

Hm. I guess that must be it. I was defining "extremities" in my head pretty much the same way as "limbs". M-W and wiktionary both seem to have it in both senses, but, further searching has revealed nothing more suitable. Was just surprising to me, that there isn't something as pr...

Samik

Arms and legs are limbs.
Fingers and toes are digits.
Hands and feet are ____ ?

I feel like it's going to be a facepalmer when someone tells me, but, it's driving me nuts.

Samik

I will interpret this thread in the same way as PAstrychef. Apologies if that's off-the-mark. My advice is that the most important characteristic of any fitness regimen, diet, etc., is stick-to-it-ability. The best program in the world is worthless if you fall off after a week or two. A modest progr...

Put my entire library on shuffle... first six results or so neither made sense nor were amusing. Then I got:

Danger Zone in my pants.

I am satisfied.

2670 + 54 = 2724 Our complex's little gym finally added a bar, but it's rather wide grip. Incredible how much more difficult it was for me. Anyway, that's probably my last contribution for a while.

04 APR: 41.1 + 3.1 = 44.2 - Eight weeks left before I head out on my trip, and my strength/cardio balance is all wrong right now. I'm in a mini addicted-to-lifting phase at the moment. Have to have to switch gears; the weeks are slipping away. (I guess doing something is better than doing nothing, b...

Hit 17 last night, good and strict. Which is a high-water mark since '15JAN when I got 19.

Was a long slog to go from 16 to 17, but I'm also up in weight a bit, so, I'll take it I guess.

Now let's see if I can go from 17 to 18 in less than 2.5 months...

Samik

1900 + 92 = 1992

Going to make an attempt at another high-water mark soon. (Is there a more generally used term for something that's not a pb, but is a best in a recent time frame?)

Yup, this one and the pushup one tend to scream by. Nothing wrong with that!

Why is picking the wings of a fly a dick thing to do? I spent a month this past summer backpacking in Colorado. The black flies there, in some places, are absolutely unreal. Slather yourself in 98% deet all day long - forget about it, they don't even care. I got incredibly good at killing these thi...

Still working. Just elliptical the last couple weeks. Also variable durations and programs, so nothing to track really.

But, putting in good work.

I guess some would find ellipticals dull too, but I really like being able to just close my eyes and submerge.

Hi all! I'm quite proud of this thread as OP, so it's great to see it necro'd! I have a fantasy that many years in the future, after the comic has ended and the community has dispersed, this place will survive in a vestigial form as a fitness forum for nerds. 27.3 + 4.8 = 32.1 Three laps up and dow...

Had another end of the world dream. These are not a common thing for me - this is the third one, lifetime, that I can remember. (Spoiler alert: I'm now 0-3 in saving the world.) So, in this dream, the universe is created and managed by intelligent entities. It is implied that these are neither divin...
