In reply to Circeus. Of course, nowadays people are as likely to pick that name because of Touhou's reference as for the original works, so...

In reply to Circeus. Lafcadio Hearn is in fact a fairly famous author, so I don't know about that.

I don’t think it is. I think Yak Face going with Helen is a result of a previous Dave’s temporal meddling, one which caused a different timeline branching from a point where he gave up Yak Face to Momma Narbon for reasons we may never know. In this timeline Dave never dies, because if he had Mell would remember that he simply got better. Though our dave visited either President Mell’s timeline or a very similar one, she accidentally created a third timeline, after which Dave created a possible fourth timeline with having never smoked.

I’m amused that Mell doesn’t consider lasers, uranium or flamethrowers ‘the good stuff’.

Oh “lafcadio” is plenty embarrassing When you’re the one who picked it!

In reply to Kitirena. Er. The U.S. host a few gun nerds, too. Like, several millions gun nerds. Of course, they're not *cat* gun nerds, so you probably missed it .-D

In reply to JP Chabot (speedball).

I think they have a word for that in Japan: “ju-otaku”. (Literally “gun nerd” or “gun geek”.)

Yes, Japan is really strange, nyao… (And yes, there really are gun nerds in Japan. Masamune Shirow is one of them, actually, even though [or perhaps because] handguns are illegal in Japan for the most part…)

Mike-- Of course I do! What I can't remember is how I learned his middle name in the first place.

OK, I can't be the first to comment on this. Must mean something is going wrong. Man, Mell looks so happy.

Some men (and at least one young woman) just want to watch the world burn...or destroy it themselves, whichever is more fun...
