Yes, Kath. Fire = hot.
Also, "20% cooler"

Re: Smells Fresher 2013-02-08
Okay now we need another mine cart on a different track chasing after them while shooting. It goes downhill so don't look for a motor, look for BRAKES!!!!
As to the ouch, easy to do if it is not handed over carefully. Both have to take care.
Big question is are we going to see every reference to every popular game and adventure movie in this?? It is an adventure. We've got the mine carts, probably a stand in for a train. NExt we need either a horse stampede or another type, maybe snakes. After that comes the local tribe stirred up and on the war path. Followed by the VILLIAN and the mysterious guide who knows everything.

Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

I mean, it came out in 1984.

No excuse. I was born on the tail end of '79 but I can remember watching E.T. in the movie theater in '82. (or maybe it was the 85 rerelease?)Maybe neither of them has seen that film...

Re: Smells Fresher 2013-02-08
So, just how bad will be the consequences of dropping a hot, flaming oil-filled lamp, in a deep underground mine filled with acidic runoff, possible pockets of methane, wooden supports, and perhaps no other source of light?

Ouch! Hot!!!
Not as hot as it's about to get Kath...
Have you noticed that every decision Atsali makes is so counter to logic it isn't even funny? When is Katherine, as the only responsible adult here, going to put her foot down and say, Hold up there hoss?
I thought Bud was the only one who grabbed hot things without thinking...

You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Aw comon, this isn't going to be a homage to Indiana Jones is it? I hate those stupid movies with a passion.

From the last frame I don't think there will any light in Mondays strip.
Next they hear something breathing ... Freakout follows.
The question is are they hearing an echo of themselves, or something ...
Wouldn't be fun if it was Baxter and Boo?

Well, then, that takes care of that.
"Maybe we should go back to the library."
"Er, we can't. That was a one way door."
"What!! How are we suppose to get back then?"
"Well, I can fly..."
"All the way to Minnesota?"
"Umm..."

Re: Smells Fresher 2013-02-08
Huh. Kat seems oddly curvy here.
Also, given Kat's reclusive nature but desire to be more outgoing, the brony reference would make sense for her. Still afraid to socialize in public, but active in the internet world and up on recent trends, to the point of using memes in common speech (I don't intend to offend any social recluses, internet denizens, or bronies with that comment, just dissecting Kat's character and history alongside that recognizable phrase and the setting). I approve, it helps differentiate her a bit more from the rest of EGS cast (similar to Monica's tendency to jump between languages, Tina's riddle-speak, Phix's use of petnames, or pre-Shellynx Shelly's tendency to use very 'colorful' wording at the drop of a hat).

Well one thing that is linking this episode to an Indiana Jones style Serial is that we have one hell of a cliffhanger here.

Oh, Atsali's actions are all perfectly logical.DilyV wrote:Have you noticed that every decision Atsali makes is so counter to logic it isn't even funny? When is Katherine, as the only responsible adult here, going to put her foot down and say, Hold up there hoss?
Unfortunately it's a logic operating on the axioms of a world view based on years of reading romantic adventure stories. The protagonists all have Grade A plot immunity, the luck of the Irish, and the self-preservation common sense of the slasher-film teenagers who just can't resist the temptation to check out that weird noise in the cellar all by themselves
I get the feeling she hasn't gotten out into the "real world" very much. A sheltered teenager with overprotective parents, a vivid imagination, and an Opportunity?
As to Katherine... well, I have a feeling that being assertive and putting her foot down isn't one of her strong suits. Yet.
Re: Smells Fresher 2013-02-08
Not only is that not her strong suit, she's been mentioned before as a nudist. [*tosses a tuxedo toward the pun jar*] She may become more proactive as this escapade goes on, but it's going to take Atsali running headlong into at least one or two disasters before Katherine speaks up as the voice of reason.Dave wrote:As to Katherine... well, I have a feeling that being assertive and putting her foot down isn't one of her strong suits.

What they need is the Mentor to appear. The one that looks and talks like the bad guy but is really a good guy. Older, wiser, and much more experienced. Lends a helping hand, Catches the lantern and gently pours some of the oil on the wheels and hands it back. A bit of advice, 'Listen up kiddo. You got to keep you head screwed on real tight or you're gonna loose it. Birdbrain, yeah you with the wings, dial it back. This ain't no school yard!'. I expect the best would be Monica, dressed exactly as she dressed for when they set out to fix the calender. Jodhpurs, tight fitting shirt, boots with a knife it it, and a BIG old Calvary pistol in the holster. -Pause for fantasy interlude - Then walks off into the tunnel. Leaving them to stumble along by themselves.Fairportfan wrote:Ummm, maybe "See if the wheels aren't too rusted..."?

Whoever coined the phrase "more fun than a barrel of monkeys" obviously never spent an afternoon cramming the little buggers into one.

...and on Monday Atsali catches the lamp as it is about to hit the ground. Then says something like "Aren't you glad I came along? I SAVED US!"THEN Throws arms out wide...and smashes lamp on a rock.

Perhaps not. Oil and air need to be mixed to become explosive. The lantern will probably break if it hits the ground; if the oil leaks out from the impact, we might be looking at a wall of flame...Sphinx-Napped wrote:impending boom coming when lantern hits the ground
