I see a security camera on a poll in the background. The girls can't just poit out and hope no one sees, it's already too late

I always thought the limitation was aim, not distance -- those with the ability could easily poit about the right distance to Ireland and splash into the ocean a few hundred miles offshore, or visit there ahead of time and be able to hit the target more exactly. Poiting something 30% of the way through the sun would be nearly as effective as the center (50% point), so for all practical purposes M would be able to do a sun poit.Bathorys Daughter wrote:Good point. Makes me wonder if her demons see an opportunity and are taking it. Especially with the dark eyes thing.MerchManDan wrote:Also, seeing the shade of Mon's text, I'm wondering if she's fully in control of herself.
That is the usual way of things, but I was wondering about what Shelly said; "... and her ability to poit anything anywhere." Does that mean just what it says? Does she have the ability to poit anything anywhere, even if she has not been there before?eee wrote:Monica can't poit where she hasn't been before. None of them can, that's why they were going to fly to Ireland. (I wonder if they're ever going to follow up on that and make sure there wasn't anything else in that tree beyond the Artifact?) M hasn't been to Hell or in the heart of the Sun - yet - so she couldn't send them there. She had, however, been to that mall.

Yes, and our friendly neighborhood Officer Tight Buns knows both of them! Justin would probably be happier not having that conversation with them, particularly if they're still together and naked. Awkward, you know.

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Next, Monica will realize what happened, and think, "That wasn't me."

Next step from there is to go to Tina and ask her what it was like to have Nudge.

Brandi told her to shut up (more or less) about her caboose at the same time she pointed out the "racehorse legs", and then reinforced it with a remark about balancing a beer bottle on it.DoctorOverlord wrote:Agreed! I thought Shelly was supposed to have the hottest bootie, but that was before Bud showed up.TheSkulker wrote:Wow. I like! Pablo uncovered Bud's other asset that matches her great legs!
No idea why Bud hasn't realized it, but then she's so insecure. Still Brandi might have mentioned it to her lol

Re: A Warning 2012-10-19
By the way, in case you're wondering - they're standing right outside of Saks Fifth Avenue's outlet store (which is the direction Shelly is looking), and apparently looking southwest at the IDS Center (the tall building on the left) and Macy's (on the right). The camera is perched on the corner of the building housing Brooks Brothers.
The Google Maps view is here.

Oh, I see. This mall is actually a street of shops. So they were poited onto a public street. So much the better.jwhouk wrote:By the way, in case you're wondering - they're standing right outside of Saks Fifth Avenue's outlet store (which is the direction Shelly is looking), and apparently looking southwest at the IDS Center (the tall building on the left) and Macy's (on the right).

Yes, I see, going to Streetview. But I think they would be standing on the street near Marshals to get that particular view. Next to Saks, we would see more of the left side of the Macy building. Thanks for the link.

That does seem to be another definition of "mall." Here in Winnipeg, we have Graham Mall; when I was very young, it endlessly confused me how a mall could have all its stores outside.Bathorys Daughter wrote:Oh, I see. This mall is actually a street of shops.

It's been prvoen that you can sitll mkae snese of mxied-up wrods as lnog as the fsrit and lsat ltteres are in the rghit pacle. Obviously your brain was doing something similar with "Pibgorn" and automatically "proofreading" it into something that looked more lexicographically lgocial.lake_wrangler wrote:Oops...jwhouk wrote:Actually, not as much as you think.Atomic wrote:lake_wrangler, FYI -- PiBgorn, not pigborn.

I read Comics Curmudgeon, and I can say, "PIGBORN" is a common spoonerism, malapropism, and general mixspelling of Pibgorn.lake_wrangler wrote:That may be so, but I'm still embarrassed about it...Lee M wrote:It's been prvoen that you can sitll mkae snese of mxied-up wrods as lnog as the fsrit and lsat ltteres are in the rghit pacle.

"Bigporn" is another.

And Pibgorn tends to be pretty text-heavy and downright dense, with a fair proportion textual and peripheral references...
The arc beginning 21 January 2010, is based around such a reference in a rather ... odd ... way.
(Knowing what "Rosebud" was won't help at all ... but it's sorta slightly peripherally relevant...)
