So instead of having no mods we only have an incompetent one. I don't know if that's better or worse.

[BetaB17]

Better, absolutely better. Mhm

[Kerr]

Oh well, I'm sure other mods will come along eventually. (Hmm, maybe I should have gone with an X-Files theme instead. No, this is fine.)

That's goddamn perfect. Do it this instant!

And what was I thinking not having a link in my signature?

[ProphetDragon]

Today was the weirdest day of the year.

Final count: Played one prank on 8 people. That still only counts as one.

[Kerr]

What did you do?

Personally I'm not planning on playing pranks on anyone.

[Aarah]

Pranks? Pranks are for amateurs! Now riddles! Riddles are a professional man's game!
*maniacal laughter ensues*

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

prank? more like dank

[Kerr]

Riddle me this...

What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment but never in a thousand years?

[Aarah]

Why, an easy one!
That is M, my friend!
*maniacal laughter*

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

well I last a minute but never in a thousand years will I procreate

I'm sure thats the answer you're looking for

[ProphetDragon]

Now riddles!

It stands right behind you
but it makes no sound,
with eyes dark it watches
and it creeps on the ground,
with a presence dark it haunts you,
be careful when you turn around.

I hate to defend Gollum but "What's in my pocket?" is a real stretch of the definition of a riddle. Of course this is also the series where there was a riddle that required them to say the Elvish for friend and none of them asked the Elf in their party, nor did he decide to speak up himself. Like if a riddle required you to know the German for nephew, you could just ask the German person in your group.

[BetaB17]

Maybe the German elf just wanted to make sure they knew their [&@%!], and were multilingual to some extent? I mean, wouldn't you stay quiet to see if your friends could get such an easy word right?

[MARS]

Ein Elf? Ein Elf. Hahaha you silly Englisch, Elf is ze Nummer eleven, not ze peeple with ze pointy eeahs. Vat Dummköpfe you ahr!

I want me some mcdonalds schezwan sauce pls

Clever hobbitses.

I agree, really.

Of course this is also the series where there was a riddle that required them to say the Elvish for friend and none of them asked the Elf in their party, nor did he decide to speak up himself.

Not so, the riddle was 'speak friend and enter'.

Gandalf can speak Quenya and Sindarin, and so can Aragorn. They didn't just know that they had to speak the word, they tried passwords.

Lest I be mistaken, Fëanor's grandson Celebrimbor was the one who designed the doors, he also made the nineteen other rings.

Putting out the new episode of Rick & Morty on April Fools is some Grade A trolling. I didn't believe it until this morning when a friend told me and I actually watched it. Also April Fools is over, so these are just our new regular usernames now. Hope you all get used to it.

[BetaB17]

That ending tho.. Gotta love Rick

[The SheoDovah]

Apparently, refering to Beta as Die,Beta, Die is considered a threat. It's German for The, Beta, The. It has nothing to do with the missing 100 or so cakes or the fact that I'm being petty and donning the ol' cloak to get my revenge via increasingly nonsensical schemes that would give Dr Jan Itor a run for his cash.

I'm also happy with how big of a role Summer played in the episode, I think she might be my favorite character.

[BetaB17]

She may just as well take after Rick, more so than Morty(tho he is inevitably doomed to be a sidekick). I mean, not just in this episode.. But how many times has she not only proven her ingenuity, but her capacity(and insane assumptions about Rick's thought process/security measures that turn out to be true) to actually learn from him. Plus.. She's a bit more mentally stable than Morty, for understandable reasons

Or maybe I'm just having wishful thinking about a 2nd Summer/Rick adventure that doesn't just focus on gender difference.. 'sigh'

[Kerr]

She takes after Rick a lot and really idolizes him, I'd love to get another Rick & Summer episode. But ugh "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" episodes. They're super common too, I'm pretty sure Disney and Cartoon Network just has a folder which outlines how to make them and then forces all their showrunners to do it. Like they don't always suck, The Kyoshi Warriors episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender is great, but it's usually just played out stereotypes from the 60s that arbitrarily make everyone a jerk who acts out of character for 20 minutes.

Fantastic Voyage is another pretty common cartoon plot that Rick & Morty did and it was really good, John Oliver's character in it was great. Actually Rick & Morty has a tonne of good guest stars, it's like The Simpsons before guest stars always just played themselves instead of characters.

[BetaB17]

Wait wait wait. Back up a moment... Who the [&@%!] did John Oliver voice?!

Edit: Holy [&@%!] [&@%!]!
