MIB Tower Incident 2021-03-15

Oops...

Looks like they're not out of the woods, yet... :shock:


On a personal note, I admit I never thought Bud's last name would be pronounced like that... I'm not sure how I would have pronounced it, but not like that...

Ooops indeed. I saw that tower explosion somewhere before, but I can't place it. Then again I might just be having another Mandela effect episode... :twisted: :ugeek:

That was made in Blender using this process:

That's the way i've always pronounced it in my head.

Which makes me 1-for-2 on Wapsi audio-guessing: I "heard" {and still do} Eve Arden* as Phix's voice, in spite of some mere creator saying Alex Kingston...

Was Shannon a Commander at that point?

Best line my brother ever wrote.

I believe she was . . . I think she was introduced as a lieutenant, then promoted twice, but IIRC she hadn't been promoted to captain yet, and the info on the Honorverse wiki seems to agree.

Interesting: apparently she skipped the rank of captain.

I need to find one of my copies of Ashes of Victory and read that again.

If you thought that Cass was in trouble BEFORE the Anchor Tower blew up, oh boy. No amount of snark/sass, from either Scarlet or Daylla, is going to help out now. There is no protecting Cass now; she is going to, proverbially speaking, get hit, and hit hard. This could even cost Katherine her job; remember she is some Regional Director of MIB, and her daughter just put the lives of everyone at that school, in jeopardy. Monica might even have to be called in, being the Jaguar Girl and all. This is all going to come crashing down on a scared teenage girl, who had no idea what she was about to unleash. Poor Cass.

Damn straight, she's a WMD with a hair trigger. Even worse, but not by much. There was a Tiny Toons or Amimaniacs about a teen girl going nuclear when she got mad... Katie KaBoom, from Animaniacs

All I can say about that video is, that I'm glad my kids were just the right age to watch Animaniacs when they first came out... Otherwise, I might not have known about such a great TV show.

re: Intro to Animation,

As has been said before, at least by me anyway,

Wapsi Square, come for the boobs, stay for the knowledge.


Hmmm, might need to migrate away from the word 'boobs'... but there's reasons not to as well...

I think that wall is now a Chekov's gun. Just waiting for the next overpowered doofus to sneeze.

But if Castela is really as scary to those otherworldly beings, one might peek through and be like "Please, for the love of all that is (insert adjective here), don't ever open this portal again!"
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Which overpowered doofus would that be?

There is a sufficient selection of them, after all.

. . .

Hmmm . . .

Is the plural of doofus doofi?

Or a formal diplomatic note of protest?
