and equip the robot vehicle with floatation units and SLIMEGUARD de-sliming coatings.

SLIMEGUARD---So the Ick Don't Stick.

I'll remember that too!

darkmax wrote:What exactly is the best solution to get rid of slime? after all, one still needs to clean the Robot and the full-environmental suit after the festival is over....

Turpentine always works for me....
But plenty of Universal Solvent, delivered under high pressure, works just as well...Just quickly wade your 'bot through a reasonably clean local river(or public [pool if you really want to honk off the locals), or drop in at your local carwash(though expect to pay extra).

That would be a good way too clean up the stuff that is cleanable. But what about the impact on the environment of all that slime! Ewww. The might make the Valdez oil spill look tiny!

darkmax wrote:I think I just found out that salt can dissolve some slime.... which means dipping the bot into sea-water will help.... or get rusty, or worse, fry the circuitry.

Aha.....maybe we can salt Splugorth!

darkmax wrote:Man, you would need a whole ocean's worth to get just half a Splurgorth.

I prefer to use rock salt..in 50 ton blocks delivered at high speed from a massdriver

darkmax wrote:hmm... can I recommend you in installing small-sized FTL engines? It would have more... shall we say, force of impact!

I agree...if you really aren't concerned about the real estate in the immediate area...

What about transporting them to a dimension made of salt! Bound to be at least one out there.

darkmax wrote:Wooo..... that would hurt like hell!.....

Cheese-grate their skin with depleted uranium scatter-shot railgun pellets then d-port them into the place for a nice roll-around...You'll either occupy them in pain for centuries and/or make a vicious enemy who will START out with what you did to them as a basis for what they'll do to you.

Pressure chamber...compress, decompress, compress, decompress...always just shy of the bends....

darkmax wrote:They may not be affected by pressure chambers since they seem to be able to live well in space....

Actually I was referring to what they do with hairless apes who play with dimensional d-ports and flay-guns.
When it comes to torturing Splugorth, I tend to use a very potent blend of pepperspray(that big eye is just TOO tempting)....

Very true! Easy shot for tear gas!

darkmax wrote:oh...... sorry!

No need to apologize...sometimes I shift perspective so fast I see double....

Oh no! Not the Piccard Manuever! I've seen that at Bars before!!! No!!!

darkmax wrote:HAHAHA..... the picard maneuver

EXACTLY what I was thinking....good idea...LOUSY visual execution in the show..."Gee...just fire at at where that streaky FTL thingie effect stops!"

darkmax wrote:problem is your eye will see double. it will not recognize which is the first image..... just fire at them all.

Ah...that's where double-barreled wave motion guns come in handy...

darkmax wrote:indeed... remember to set it to independent shooting mode, so both barrels can shoot at different target

Or..you could just nova-bomb the whole solar system...just remember to make sure your FTL drive is in working order before trying the Ultimate Area Effect Attack...

Actually it's the oging bald guy getting the beautiful woman! Even though there are better looking guys at the bar she could go home with. That's the Piccard manuever I'm talking about.

I'll have to remember them for Cassanovacryth('The Megaverse's Greatest Lover')...

"Hmmmm....polymorph self to resemble Patrick Stewart...yeah, that will get the chicks!"

I think we should hunt him down in the 3 Galaxies. I think I'll have someone put a bounty on him. Wanted Dead or Alive! Perferably dead! JK!

darkmax wrote:Just look out for the brightest spot in the 3 Galaxies that is not space bodies...

That's where a Splugorth's inherent magical abilities come in very useful...

Multiple Selves

Blinding Flash


"There are.....TWO lights!!!!"

And maybe the sploogies are cloning him to cause concern among species he could breed with.

darkmax wrote:May be they use him in their latest starships as spot lights, without the need for a power to feed them.... just use existing starlights, they will be magnified a trillion fold, by the shiny bald head.....

In defense of bald people;
"God made only a few perfect heads...the rest he covered up with hair..."

darkmax wrote:HAHAHHAHA... nice quote!

THe follically challenged of the world should have it as their slogan.

darkmax wrote:Follically challanged! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and if the Splugorth, being hairless themselves, decide to weigh in on the side of bald people, the rest of us could be in REAL trouble....

ROFLMAO!!!

darkmax wrote:Hmm... I didn't know that basic amoeba-like creature has any higher physical structure.....

...?.....

Well, you could have a multicellular jellyfish-like critter that uses internal telekinesis in lieu of bones, and can change its configuration to form necessary internal structures at will...
But the Splugorth are FAR above the ameboid stage and into the 'part of the essential anatomy is in another universe/plane of existance ' stage.....

darkmax wrote:nay... I meant hair....

...oh....

LOL Just way too funnny!

darkmax wrote::D

....so, what about Hair Club for Splugorth?

darkmax wrote:Topees Exchange and Loan Programmes?!

Well, actually, that has some nasty implications....Splugorth shaving/scalping slaves because hair mats are 'in' this century among the Splugorth...(last millenia it was Aztec-style skin-shirts).
That could well be why the Altarans are all bald...millenia of culling the fair-haired left only the bald mutations to continue their species. And it could lead to a genengineered slave species whose sole purpose to grow hair...lots and lots of hair...like a humanoid Afghan hound...

darkmax wrote:Reminds me of Cousin It of the Addams Family......

Hmm... If the hair on the head aren't enough, they could always shave the other end......

We're talking Splugorth here...not shaved...PLUCKED...one hair at a time...with plenty of cold water to brace the skin and make those hairs stand up....

Does that mean if the sploogie has some long lichens of molds growing on it, that it wouldn't be eligable for the Hair club for Sploogies?

Either that or he gets his Megaversal Scout badge in Microbiology, and a Best of Show from the Axminster Fungus Club.....

ROFLMAO!!!!

darkmax wrote:wait... if Sploogies have hair complete with parasitic fungus, does that also mean that they have a full eco-system that feed on and thrive on those.

Well, the HIgh Lords are already considered to be macro-parasites/symbiotes, but yes, smaller organisms could be present...indeed, an integral part of the Splugorth's healthy physiology....and given the intense concentrations of magic about them. the mutation rate could be quite high among those organisms....paving the way for, instance, sentient intestinal fauna (what happens when a Splugorth's guts start talking telepathically back to him? And you thought a growling stomach in the middle of a social gathering was bad!).

That could very likely be the norm for one of them. They might just consider it another way of keeping themselves safe. That same interestinal intelligent flora could warn him if he ingest something say poinson that could effect him if he didn't know to take an antidote.

Come on! You've got a stomach of iron don't you? I'm ok talking about this sort of thing. Parasites are why I have my steaks cooked to medium well done.

Another canonical Splugorth to add to the list:

Lord Korrek----The mastermind behind the Gunbrothers. Apparently still very active and set on taking out the CCW as the lynchpin to taking over the THree Galaxies(Presumably by using its resources to take on the TGE, once he destabilizes the CCW enough with the Gunbrothers). Currently frustrated by the Oni Ninja clans.

What about

Dedletrcrynth The Sploogie in charge of the postal service in the three galaxies.

Yeah, that is the explanation for that problem.

Licking the stamp could become a death sentence!


Thank goodness for self sticking stamps!

WEll, with the mail sorters chained and symbioted in place, there's small chance of them 'going postal'...

"We Deliver the Mail, or Somebody DIES!!!"

"Honey...what's this message slip stuck to the bottom of your package? "Help Me, I'm Being Held Hostage in a Parcel Shippment Center'?"

"Sir, this ...thing...sprang out of my mailbox and attacked my spouse!"
"Oh, sorry, ma'am...that's one of our bomb-sniffing slugs...sometimes the handlers at the office get careless and one of their sniffers gets transported out with the mail...."

ROFLMAO!!!!

(shell-less)snail-mail...literally...

I suppose in that situation you should always place your mail in a salt solution to get rid of those pesky bomb sniffing slugs.

Aramanthus wrote:I suppose in that situation you should always place your mail in a salt solution to get rid of those pesky bomb sniffing slugs.

Just be careful openning your mail...you never know how desperate some of those sorter-slaves might become in their attempts to escape....

And if they could get a hold of something to compress their own bodies, that would make even better.

Aramanthus wrote:And if they could get a hold of something to compress their own bodies, that would make even better.

I'm sure they're following the forum thread gag on gross physical compression of bodies into a minimum of space...(though that's usually accompanied by great violence and the openning of a can of Whupass-brand Elemental Softdrink).

darkmax wrote:another old idea revamp!

Just be careful openning up that poster tube you ordered from Palladium Books...
