Reply Subj: Once the baby-boomers start dropping off, I think the 60's will fade.

    You'll be including some hot tub pictures? I'll definitely tune in for that.


Alas, only the Hole Man has those pictures for now.

      Considering that we've established that half of the cast went to the same university as Vizh (Al, Muffy, Helen MacAllistair) we don't need to pin it down as Michigan now unless you really care to play off of it.



      Quote:
      When was all that established? Did I go there?



    Quote:
    I think you established all that, although I may be remembering the story details incorrectly. However, I thought in the course of the story detailing miss MacAllistair's death it was revealed that Visionary was an undergrad at that same college and participating in a brain-engram scanning/recording experiment, and it all tied in to how it was impossible to tell if Vizh was real or fake now.


Ah. That was all set in Paradopolis U., now I think about it. It even said so in the story. Go whatever-beast-you-decided-was-thero-mascot!


    Quote:
    If all that is right and it was U of M, then Al, Muffy, Helen, Vizh, Cheryl, Beth Zemo and Sally all went there... not to mention a few others that appeared in those Al/Muffy college days stories.


Sorry, the stuff with Professor Day-Vincent and grad-Al and Miss F was also explicitly set in Paradopolis.

    On a tangent, regardless of what university it actually was, somewhere I have the beginnings of a tale where Cheryl's college roommate drops by the Mansion for a visit. I'll have to see if I can find that and if it's worth finishing...


Sounds like a promising start. Proceed.

    We don't often do them both at the same time. Having to solve trigonometric equations on a blackboard in the middle of a play tends to slow down the flow of the game too much.


See, the entire concept of stopping a sporting contest to have some kind of chat about it is alien to British culture, with or without the use of visual aids. if our teams want a short breather they foul someone and rest while the stretcher comes on.

Except for cricket, of course, which doesn't include chat breaks but does allow for short sleeps between overs.

      Now there's a story just waiting to happen. Has the Legion ever fought radioactive stationary before?



    Quote:
    I think the Legion's battles against inanimate objects has been mostly confined to socks and whatever escapes from Space Ghost's closet.


Maybe you can fold the concept in to Charyl's old friend coming to visit?
