shortspecialbus posted:The laws of Magic in Mandrake seem to be pretty fluid and change based on what would either advance the plot or add some sort of vague foil. OK, I don't always pay a whole lot of attention to Mandrake and I'm never entirely sure I understand it, so I wasn't sure if this was some long-standing rule I'd never noticed or just they made it up out of nowhere. Johnny Aztec posted:"It's not magic, it's just Illusions! Except when it's magic" Or maybe I do understand it after all.

In general most of Mandrake's magic is "just" super effective hypnotizing so his target has to see his eyes, but every now and then there's "real" magic like the dimension swapping in the last story.

Using parentheses to group the phrases, I think she means: I don't (eat breakfast and then have donuts before lunch), as I imply you do in order to shame you and not I don't (eat breakfast), in order to starve myself thin, and then I have donuts before lunch, because bulimia I guess?

Of course, she just doesn't favor donuts. She just drinks 1200 calorie lattes or whatever

Evil Mastermind posted:Super-Fun-Pak Comix knows you have to tell it if you're a cop. 1. Best time is Wednesday at approximately 10 AM. Minimal foot traffic, prior to deposit. The vault's most likely open for receipt then. The guard on a reduced schedule is more likely to have a medical condition. That said, you need to know when the vault's open. You got to hit them during a count or deposit round, or you're getting a few thousand from the night deposit, tops. The rest of this assumes you're hitting while the vault's open, the poo poo's out of its boxes, and that it's a low traffic period. 2. I'd use three men (hereafter A, B, C). Guy A should be the one you trust with details under pressure. Guy B needs to be stable. He can't have an itchy trigger finger. Guy C is your bag man. He'll be handling the tellers. You'll need some people to case, which I'll cover later. You don't need a driver. Equipment is pistols and something with an auto toggle, mostly for show. Gloves. Camera coverage is pretty comprehensive, so masks are a must. I recommend body armor as well. You never know who's carrying. Buy everything cash, out of town. 3. Stress to the crew that this is a rush job- you're not going to be able to stop the call going out, so you need to be gone before things get closed down. The time window's about 10 minutes tops. You're aiming for five. Casing: Whomever you've got casing can't be on the main dance team- and they should have full deniability. Give them their share when things cool off. Have two possible swap spots for vehicles. Use common cars, used, in generic colors. Silver and dark SUVs are great for this poo poo. Don't bother with tinting, it's a giveaway. Cash, used, fake out of state plates. Entry: The front door's hardened, and the back service door is likely to be on a magnetic lock. I recommend casing the place and seeing if it's left open. If so, the group should rush it. If not, look for a fire ladder- those stairs have to go somewhere, and there'll be another point of egress under fire code. Entry is at 10 AM. A should have an alarm on, LOUD, and with a generic sound, for 10:04. Locking the joint down: 10:00 A, B and C rush the guard and get him down, along with anyone in the lobby. Alive if he complies, plug him if not. He'll have a pager- take it off him. Get everyone visible on the ground. C should immediately rush the teller box and get them down. They'll probably have hit an alarm at this point-that's fine. If not, great. Assume a silent alarm is active anyway. 10:01 A pulls people out of the front offices and pulls the lock switch on the front door. B holds the lobby down and keeps an eye on the stairs. C gets the tellers out of the box and down. If it's more than one or two people and it'll take too long, C tells them not to move around or he'll kill them. If they move around, kill them. Getting the stuff: 10:02 Ignore the teller box. That poo poo's peanuts, and it's got transponders and dye packs. The score's the unmarked poo poo in the vault. C gets in the vault, gets the poo poo in bags and tosses it out in the lobby. A and B are keeping poo poo tight in the lobby. Getting out: 10:04 A's alarm goes off. Everyone grabs what they can and leaves out the back, together. No ferrying poo poo, no getting greedy, no sticking around because no one's visible. No one leaves until everyone leaves. Get to the car, get to a swap spot, and get away. Take all your poo poo with you. Spare bags, masks, everything. You are not coming back to that state. Avoid toll roads. Getting away: Burn all your poo poo, including the last car the group uses. Anything on paper's too traceable. Deeds and bonds are worthless, burn them too. Don't spend the cash. Gotta launder it and anything else you grab. I can hook you up with a guy, FAUXTON, he'll give you a good rate. 2.

Johnny Walker posted:It is absolutely something I would do and have done, and I am aware of TV shows and books where they show this stuff, so obviously it can be interesting. I should have said is "This is really boring here in this strip" and I went a little too far with my criticism. And I should have added in my post that I actually agree with you; strip after strip of the guys talking about weird Roadside America stuff in their hotel room (instead of showing them actually visiting weird stuff) is pretty boring. At least today they showed, instead of just told.

It's not quite new -- it used to be called Dadding Badly and was on Gocomics, although it seems to have been pulled. Kovaleski used to do a strip called Bo Nanas (still being rerun on Gocomics) that I thought was pretty funny, definitely better than this. Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons  Harley

Nekonaughey [cultural note: takoyaki are one of the best snacks. basically you take a weird knob of octopus (tako) flesh, put it in wheat batter then yaku (grill) the gently caress out of it before slathering it in sauces and other bits. you end up with these awesome little balls covered in flavour that easily break apart in your mouth to deliver a nondescript slightly chewy meat along with a kind-of pus-like sauce from the interior that is three or four hundred degrees hotter than the surrounding batter.]

takoyaki is extremely good, yes, but i feel a little uncomfortable eating animals that are more intelligent than some humans. i wonder if there's a good vegan alternative... surely it can't be too hard to replicate that rubbery texture e: some cursory research tells me mushrooms would work pretty well Skeleton Mom fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Jun 20, 2018 |

SniperWoreConverse posted:no I mean wildcat in the same sense they meant it, non-domesticated cat species Bobcats aren't too big, they're a little smaller than a medium-sized dog and they're pretty common around wooded areas. Mountain lions (cougars) are much bigger and less common, but there's still a fair number of them. I used to live in Colorado and our population of them in just that state was estimated at about 9000.

It is only our remove from them that allows us to pretend that each or any of these animals is more or less worthwhile than the other and should or should not be eaten. There is no ethical consumption. All the world is born to die.
