Sorry, but MB ain't big enough for two Innerspaceboys. MB tradition dictates that this be settled with a winner-takes-all cage match. There can be only one.

Oh, and I used to print out pictures of Megaman characters, glue them to cardboard, cut the cardboard around the paper, and then use them as homemade action figures.

There is enough room for a male and female version of the same type though

If they are socially awkward, they are dorks.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

From the al-oholicsanonymous FAQ:

Quote:
CPFA used to be the official fan club for Al... and for a while, it seemed to be completely defunct. Fortunately, it is still alive today and actually serves as an office where Al can receive all his fan mail. Yes, he does read it all, but there are helpers who "weed out" all the parody song ideas people send him.

Here's the address:

Close Personal Friends of Al
8033 Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90046

...There are too many different types of nerds to list, though. Horror nerds, literary nerds... *gazes wistfully over the horizon*
Literary nerd checking in. As I am a gentleman who detests bloodshed (and as it is by bedtime), I will extend a hand of comradery and end this epic battle in the hope that together, Chiomara and I might serve as Victorian lord and lady to rule over all of nerdom.

Chiomara has described herself as an “avid music hoarder”... I can certainly align myself with that. And while I was never quite to her level of “unbearably pretentious goth”, I did spend many sweltering summers leather clad looking like a mime from hell, spinning WaxTrax!/TVT records well into the night. I hope that will suffice.

Her penchant for 80s synthpop would mesh well with my unabashed fandom of pre-Underworld Freur, (can you HANDLE Welsh synth pop?), and she can file her “snooty experimental ambient stuff” in my Great Hall of Ambient Music.

I’ll await the lady’s reply. (Don’t panic, everyone. I’ve brought my towel.)

Can you expound on the difference between a "cravat" and an "ascot," please, for those who are not in-the-know of sophisticated haberdashery.
