Well, my sides have broken the sound barrier. Well done, Mr. Taylor.
For some reason, my favourite part of this is how Tina just goes along with it when Bud says "Say 'AAH!'" without even questioning her. That really tickles me; can't say why.

Re: Is This Normal 2014-01-27
Doctor's orders are to be followed, not questioned.
My impression is that both Tina and Tenty know what's coming, in general, but that Tenty at least did not expect the boot, specifically.
(Hmm ... I first wrote they "know what's comic" ... there's a joke in there somewhere, but I can't tell if it's breaking the 4th wall or not.)

Re: Is This Normal 2014-01-27
I think Bud could moderate her strength to avoid damaging any fans/stadiums. After all, she apparently did not destroy Tina's head (unless that is what Sali is "Eeeeeeeuw"ing about. If Bud was a kicker for the Vikings, I would probably switch favorite teams. For that matter, given that she is so strong and powerful and indestructible, she could easily play any position, I would think.My2Cents wrote: Bud would have to aim high to avoid hitting the stands in case she gets emotional and slips up, and the referees would need counter-battery radar to confirm the goal. Or she could just take the chance of blowing off the end of the stadium.

Re: Is This Normal 2014-01-27
God bless Bud and her oh-so-casual way of handling these kinds of things. It makes it so much easier to accept such situations as indeed being normal. One of the many many many reasons I absolutely adore her.

Well, if Bud was going to play football, I think that this is the would be the only way it would be fair.

So rather than a demon/soul mix such as Shelly ended up with, Tina gets a demon/sole union.

Quite a way to kick-start her morning, though she might feel somewhat of a sucker now.Timotheus wrote:I'm certain Tina will be feeling more "together" now and be able to get a "grasp" on things.
Except for when she decides to defuse a situation by going to the alternate extreme. She apparently tends to quote Macbeth when doing that, though.illiad wrote:bud does not feel the cold, but she does pretend to, so people do not freak out....
The other day at work, my clothes were somewhat damp from having to repair a high-pressure steam line that was sort of exploding. I walked past an exterior doorway that someone had just opened, and the clothing all froze solid. It was like walking around while wearing very badly made plate armour. And then everybody had to stand around poking at me and going, "Oooooo!".DilyV wrote:EDIT:Winds are howling here... and temps are dropping through the basement...

Re: Is This Normal 2014-01-27
This is kind of what I was thinking. If Bud's on your team........ why would you be kicking a field goal? Just hand her the ball and let her walk into the end zone.davids4250 wrote:I think Bud could moderate her strength to avoid damaging any fans/stadiums.

To make things interesting, you could have, say, Brandi and Phix playing for one team and Bud and Shelly playing for the other.GuySmiley wrote:This is kind of what I was thinking.

Tepoz has enough experience with being kicked, tossed, grabbed, and carried around by now that he's probably well qualified to stand in as the ball.
Re: Is This Normal 2014-01-27
"Interesting". Yes, I suppose it would be - from a sufficiently great distance.Catawampus wrote:To make things interesting, you could have, say, Brandi and Phix playing for one team and Bud and Shelly playing for the other.GuySmiley wrote:This is kind of what I was thinking.

In a game of this sort, how would "excessive roughness" be defined? "Destroys the stadium", "craters the Western hemisphere", or "vaporizes the planet"?
I'm sorta thinking that even the "View it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" rule wouldn't ensure safety.

while I'm more of a Whovian, myself. i DO remember watching and liking the few episodes i saw on TV, i should probably look into getting the series on DVD/BD... off the top of your head, do you know if it's available or not? if you don't know, no problem. i can look for it elsewhere, I'm just being lazy...Opus the Poet wrote:Dave wrote:"Interesting".

And I was just watching after the Pun Jar, for safe-keeping. There are a lot of criminals online these days.
