Mac, your avatar pic: Is that Sir Hubert Guest? (Dan Dare's boss)

Surprised to see that he would be recognised in the States.

Dan Dare was great scifi. My Dad has a bunch of old Dan Dare reprints from the 50s. Back in the days when spaceships had fins and valves and big colourful levers=-)

Mekon: "When we reach Earth, we will show no mercy."
Treen: "What is 'mercy', O Mekon?"

Has anyone ever considered/ attempted a Dan Dare or Treen shipset? Treen shipset would be sooooo cool=-) Hmmm... my Dad's old Eagle reprints... My Dad's scanner... Treen shipset... idea forming...

Dogscoff, ref to the avatar, what can be said without my age showing again

GT, in reference to your aahh, apparent research into fillies under garments, I don't suppose that in the furtherance of science you obtained some working videos of the situation ..? If so I'm sure that the Catinia members wouldn't mind looking into the artistic values of said photos, in the cause of science of course.

I'm sure that Mrs GT was probably more upset due to the off key nature of your rendition then the late hour, It wouldn't be a bad idea to let her know that you have looked into increasing your vocal apparatus by taking some lessons to upgrade your tone/s.....

Dogscoff, the 50's and some early 60's old sci-fi mags had some nice looking ship-sets as well as racial characteristics, if you could find them or look maybe in old library archives they might help you with some ideas....(d... my age is showing again,) also look at some of the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon books, they have some ship sets and racial photos as well

be careful, be very very careful
look to the sky
its "THEM"

just some ideas mac

I just checked,
Line Dancers are "Off Season", No Huntting

There is a bounty on tiggas though. I can't menion who posted it.

dogscuff and mac, my favorite mag "Analog" mag cover is a space pirate climbing up the outsdie of a "Rocket Ship" with a slide rule in his mouth insead of a cutlass.

Gryphin, first, I like the new handle - makes you sound more like the avian race you are playing in the game - right bunch of turkeys!!

Secondly, it is never off season for line dancers in the worlds controlled by the Growltigga Alliance - shredding line dancers is considered ever tigga's civic duty - country and western is Banned from all Alliance planets and anyone who has facial hair like Box Car Willy is liable to be lightly disembowelled

As for hunting tiggas, all I can do is quote the bard

Tiggas dont go out on rainy nights
They've no need to wet their appetites
They bite, They scratch
They make an awful fuss
There is no use stroking them
and saying
"Puss Puss Puss"
Aaaaarrrgggghhhhhh

GT, in reference to your aahh, apparent research into fillies under garments, I don't suppose that in the furtherance of science you obtained some working videos of the situation

No, no videos I am afraid but my mate Mike took his digital camera and he did take some photos. What I need to do is work out how to post them somewhere where the Cantinas regulars can have a shoofty - damn fine party - the nice thin about getting to 32 years old I think is that you go to these parties wherew more people have disposable income, are a little wilder than when they were young and drink like fishes - huzzah!!

I'm sure that Mrs GT was probably more upset due to the off key nature of your rendition then the late hour

Actually no. I can sing, I even took singing lessons for several years and sang in my band in my younger years, albeit, the band was Bon Jovi style rock and was called 'Mick Muff and the Divers'

Mrs GT was annoyed at me standing outside Chateau Tigga yodelling 'I'm climbing up sunshine mountain where all the little birdies go tweat tweat tweat"

PS mac, just to make you jealous and this is straight up - Mrs Gt are going to one of her friends houses for dinner tonight, these people are great, the Last time we went there we all got very drunk and ended up playing strip twister (and I was on the game with 3 girls)

Hi ho hi ho its off to work I go!!

GT: about a place to post them:
I can do them up at windingstream.com and those that want them can request it.
