Re: Eagle vs. Condor
[quote][i]Originally posted by Becky Rock[/i] It's even now. Anyone care to break the tie?[/quote] I'll do it. :) I voted for Joe. My Condor appreciation goes back to childhood and Battle of the Planets. I was all about Jason. I could kind of relate to him, as he was always being told "no". Also, his car and his weapon were way cooler. I thought Mark was too preachy. I find Joe fascinating and complex and a well-rounded character. Now I find Ken to be more well-rounded and fascinating in his own way than Mark could ever be, but my Condor appreciation is still so deeply rooted in my childhood, so my vote goes to the Condor.

Re: Crescent Coral Base is down
I've decided to migrate to a new board. The old board will stay up as read only. The new board's URL is [URL=https://crescentcorallibrary.com/mb/index.php]https://crescentcorallibrary.com/mb/index.php[/URL]. The reason why I'm doing this is because I've been hit with all kinds of Russian spambots and everything I've tried to stop them has broken the board. This is why it was down. The stuff I need to keep the bots away is built into the new board.

Re: An Archive of Our Own (AO3)
I'm also on AO3. Don't let the process intimidate you. It's kind of what I wanted my site to do, but couldn't get it to do. You can put in photos, add links, and other stuff, too.

Re: Election night
I live in a deep red state. Trump's margin of victory over Clinton in South Dakota was so great, that I did have the "luxury", if you will, to vote third party. I don't know if the Democratic National Committee truly understands the rest of the country. They need independents (I'm a registered independent) more than independents need them and it's not in the DNC's best interest to brush them off. They need the so-called "blue dog Democrats", too.

Re: Election night
[quote][i]Originally posted by msannomalley[/i] Trump won because the Democratic Party grossly underestimated how much people dislike Hillary Clinton and how deep that hate is. [/quote] I completely agree. To say that everyone who voted for Trump is racist or sexist (or whatever) is in itself being offensive and unfair. Hillary is hated by many people, and there are many out there who voted for Trump because they wanted to see her lose. I actually know someone who voted for Trump because he was a Bernie Sanders supporter and he couldn't stand Hillary. He'd rather see Trump win than let Hillary win. I'm certain he's not the only person out there with similar thoughts.

Re: Election night
Trump won because the Democratic Party grossly underestimated how much people dislike Hillary Clinton and how deep that hate is. I see people who have such visceral reactions to her that remind me of the classical conditioning that Pavlov did with those dogs. Someone has to say "Hillary" and some people just lose it. Trump should have lost, but he won because the Democrats ran the worst possible candidate against him. I don't belong to either party. I disliked both candidates. I knew there was no way I would ever cast a vote for Trump. But I couldn't vote for Clinton, either. She is too divisive. The obstruction that has gone on for the past 8 years would only have gotten worse. This doesn't mean that I support one party-rule as a means to end the divisiveness. The fact that one party rules now makes me nervous. But we have to get involved and hold people accountable to us. We also have to find common ground. That's only going to come when people put on their big kid pants and act like adults. No leader or member of Congress can magically make us all get along, especially when it's in the best interest of politicians to keep us divided.

Re: Bradbury's Jar #252
I know its early (in the US), but it's Sunday in other parts of the world, so I'm going to post this week's prompt early. Even though I'm not a baseball fan, I'm still happy for the Chicago Cubs, who won the NLCS on Saturday night and are going to the World Series for the first time since 1945. 71 years is a long time to wait for a championship, and because of that, I'm sure that a lot of people will be rooting for the Cubs, since they will be the sentimental favorites. Now is not the time to be [SIZE=3] [b]sentimental [/b][/SIZE]. Now is the time to write!

Re: Question about vehicles
I don't recall a specific episode, but I think there may have been at least one or two times when Jinpei's buggy was transformed and he wasn't. I would have to go back and look.

Re: Question about vehicles
In the Matangar episode, they're doing maintenance on their vehicles. The vehicles are transformed, but the team are in their civvies.

Re: Have You Seen the Live Action Gatchaman Movie?
My husband watched it and he thought that the movie producers were trying too hard to make it more like an American blockbuster with all bang and no substance, when the source material, in his opinion, doesn't lend itself well to an Americanized blockbuster type movie. The original series did rely a lot more on story and characterization. I have to admit that I can't bring myself to watch it, mainly because making Gatchaman live action kind of ruins it for me. I also wish they would have made the Imagi film, too. I was looking forward to that.

Re: Ruddy Gremlins
When was the last time you updated the CMS for the message board itself? It's possible that the version of php that is used to write the MB program may be incompatible with the version of php your host has on their servers, and that's what's causing the issues and loss of functionality.

Re: Bradbury's Jar #249
Sorry this is late. I blame the board gremlins. *** This week's prompt is [SIZE=3][B]Albatross[/B] [/SIZE] Albatross is defined as a "seemingly inescapable moral or emotional burden, as of guilt or responsibility; something burdensome that impedes action or progress." If you wanted a week where emotionally torturing your characters is guaranteed, here it is. Let's see what you've got!

Re: Gatchaman mad lib
I did not read anyone elses. I also had to resist reverting back to how I did Mad Libs when I was 11 or 12. ;-) It was a swarthy day in Sioux Falls and Joe wanted nothing more than to plant at a quiet face in Jun's air conditioned splinter with a gross clock in front of him. However when he arrived, he found the soup propped open and a few unsuccessfully attempting to circulate the variable. He ran in and squatted the counter to find Jinpei holding a dishcloth full of roll to his uvula as he watched TV. "What's going on here?" Joe asked his young teammate. "bra broke, but Jun wanted to stay open anyway. She hoped we could sell some sketchy callous, but no one wants to flip in this meat to rain them." Jinpei rung out the sodden water before knowing it and farting it to his appendix again. Joe was already feeling the eyeball beginning to eyeball through his fanny pack just from the few minutes that he sat there. "A nerdy geek sounds great right about now," he said as he farted at the fabric of his underpants in an attempt to cool off a bit. "Where is Jun, anyway?" he asked as Jinpei set a icky slime of iced tea before the Condor. "Ken ran by earlier and they went off somewhere on her stink. I think he offered to try to smell the dragon for her but needed some television." Joe binge-watched as he shopped his cream of tartar, still trying to drive himself with his hat. He sat quietly watching TV with Jinpei for a while until Ken and Jun returned. They came in carrying shoes of boots and flowers and headed straight through to the rubber room without a word. Random , muffled voices, and the occasional sound of toilet made their way back into the mud room, much to the amusement of the two ninjas there. Roaring Twenties later, Ken and Jun made their way back into the bar. They were roared in sweat. Both were roaring heavily and showed faint farts on their cheeks. Jun shouted them both drinks and they joined Joe and Jinpei at the bar. "So is the air conditioner licked now, Aniki, Oneechan?" Jinpei asked. They both looked to him in confusion for a Ming Dynasty, their vases deepening, before recovering enough to respond. "Uh, not yet, Jinpei. We just broken a itchy wool to rehydrate," Ken said, his finger flicking over to Jun willingly. "I thought you said it was a quick repair. What's taking so long back there?" Jun turned bright puce and refused to meet anyone's gaze. "Ken found a few more places to suck. We'll go finish up now, right, Ken?" "Uh, yeah." The eagle slept from his seat and snored Jun's tonsils, hacking her back through the Rumpus Room. "Lot's more to do..." As the door partied behind them, Joe could have sworn that he heard Jun's voice saying something about it being a nasty bug to turn off the air conditioner after all. ***** Kathy, for fun, here is the original story that the Mad Lib was created from: It was a hot day in Utoland and Joe wanted nothing more than to sit at a quiet table in Jun's air conditioned bar with a cold drink in front of him. However when he arrived, he found the door propped open and a few fans unsuccessfully attempting to circulate the air. He walked in and approached the counter to find Jinpei holding a dishcloth full of ice to his head as he watched TV. "What's going on here?" Joe asked his young teammate. "Air conditioner broke, but Jun wanted to stay open anyway. She hoped we could sell some cold drinks, but no one wants to sit in this oven to drink them." Jinpei rung out the sodden towel before refilling it and holding it to his head again. Joe was already feeling the sweat beginning to soak through his shirt just from the few minutes that he sat there. "A cold drink sounds great right about now," he said as he pulled at the fabric of his shirt in an attempt to cool off a bit. "Where is Jun, anyway?" he asked as Jinpei set a large glass of iced tea before the Condor. "Ken stopped by earlier and they went off somewhere on her motorcycle. I think he offered to try to fix the air conditioning for her but needed some parts." Joe nodded as he sipped his drink, still trying to fan himself with his shirt. He sat quietly watching TV with Jinpei for a while until Ken and Jun returned. They came in carrying boxes of tools and parts and headed straight through to the kitchen without a word. Random thumps, muffled voices, and the occasional sound of laughter made their way back into the dining area, much to the amusement of the two ninjas there. An hour later, Ken and Jun made their way back into the bar. They were covered in sweat. Both were breathing heavily and showed faint blushes on their cheeks. Jun poured them both drinks and they joined Joe and Jinpei at the bar. "So is the air conditioner fixed now, Aniki, Oneechan?" Jinpei asked. They both looked to him in confusion for a minute, their blushes deepening, before recovering enough to respond. "Uh, not yet, Jinpei. We just needed a short break to rehydrate," Ken said, his eyes flicking over to Jun guiltily. "I though you said it was a quick repair. What's taking so long back there?" Jun turned bright red and refused to meet anyone's gaze. "Ken found a few more places to inspect. We'll go finish up now, right, Ken?" "Uh, yeah." The eagle jumped from his seat and grabbed Jun's arm, dragging her back through the kitchen. "Lot's more to do..." As the door closed behind them, Joe could have sworn that he heard Jun's voice saying something about it being a good idea to turn off the air conditioner after all.
