Who is evil?
Who is joy
Who is pain
Who is death
Who is good
Who is blind
Who is foolish
Who is smart
Me and you that's who
For we are mankind.

Okay, I'm going to call this one out.
The whole Rapeman schtick is NOT FUNNY. By its very nature, its very implications, and even its name. I NEVER found it funny, but it keeps coming back up like a bad case of the dry heaves(the type that hurt bad but never actually manage to expel the bad stuff). Yet somehow it keeps cropping up. It's not just that it's overused, like we used the Whately-HPLovecraft bit to the point that I had to repeatedly depthcharge and kill the character off before everybody got the point, it's used too freakin' much, and in lieu of coming up with something actually original and/or funny.
As far as I'm concerned, the whole Rapeman thing is getting a kick hard in the balls, and then getting what the walking carrot got in The Thing(the original)...cooked with high voltage electricity until it no longer moves and is incapable of returning to life.
Sexual innuendo can be handled a lot more comedically without becoming cruel and nasty.
Really, people, try harder. I know you're all better than this.

Thanks...I'm sorry for sounding a bit prickly, but Id like to encourage fresh material, rather than stale reruns.

Who wouldn't? FTL drives in LS seemed remarkably compact....besides Centauri's car, there was the pretty much phonebooth-sized assassin's ship. Those buggies got AROUND, considering Earth was supposed to be a backwater far from Ryllos.

"So, Desdemona, how was your vacation out-dimension? Enjoy Europe much?"
'...it was too much like work."
"Oh?"
:"I'll answer for the boss, since I did pickup and clean-up."
"Okay...that sounds more like a CZ extraction than a simple open-the-Gate-and-schlep-the-luggage-through."
"Boss decided to take her vacation on the cheap like a rougher and took some local advice where to hang out. Got roped into an 'Elite Hunt Club'. Die, or kill and join. They never considered the third option."
"-she killed them all, right?"
"Creatively, too. That is, none of them had seen an AT-field before. None of them will be seeing one again either. I'm willing to bet she took a big chunk out of the morally lower end of the European and maybe international business set. Me, I just got to do mercy shootings."
"Oh well, I was really hoping the eltee would have a chance to unwind."
"Oh, she unwound alright, like a crossbow...or a nuke. But maybe next time she'll take her leave someplace quieter...like Roanapura..."

Guinea fowl are just as bad....plus they'll JUMP, so they hit your windshield head-on. Had a family friend almost lose control of her SUV that way.

(Actually, reports say the Maus was a pretty smooth ride, it having been designed by Ferdinand Porsche and all, and fairly fast for its size...it's just that it was ugly-ass heavy-the operational plan was to have it ford rivers in pairs, one Maus supplying electrical power to the other until it got across, then the first across would return the favor- and it had hideous fuel efficiency.....and that's without factoring in the fact that it would have been a magnet for every artillery piece and ground attack aircraft in the area)

Or they would have just waited for the Germans to run out of fuel....then the Mauses would have just been overpriced pillboxes, and the Allies would have just shelled the snot out of them.

How does the old joke go? If you want to know who you're facing, fire a shot in their direction. If the response is several measured shots, you're facing the British. If the response is a sustained burst of machine gun fire, it's Germans. If there's a pause and then artillery starts raining down on you, it's Americans. And if wave after wave of tanks and infantry come at you, it's Russians.

Re: Robotech Crossover question
The Robotech Masters are in their command chamber, orchestrating the final attack on Earth...
-ZWEEETTT-
A section of wall falls down and two robed figures step into the room, glowing wands of plasma light held before them.
Mystery Figure 1: "We're here to put an end to your invasion of Naboo."
Robotech Master: "Naboo?! Is that your name for your planet, micronian? I thought it was called Earth?"
Mystery Figure 2: "I sense confusion, Master."
Robotech Master: "No confusion. You DIE!"
(The blaster on the underside of their Protoculture Cap starts blazing away at the newcomers, who automatically bat the bolts back at the Masters, wiping them out)
Qui-Gon: "Control, Obi-Wan, control. I wanted to take them ALIVE."
Obi-Wan: "Oops. Well, maybe this will stop the invasion."
Qui-Gon: "I'm puzzled; these don't look like Nemodians...could we have made a wrong turn somewhere? After fighting those giant droids..."
The two misplaced Jedi were still trying to figure that one out when when Dana Sterling and Zor Prime arrived on the scene. Zor Prime's frustration at being cheated of revenge was pathos indeed....

Actually, he was killed by the fall when the floor caved in...
Shell didn't roll free of the rack and crush him?
(Actually, reports say the Maus was a pretty smooth ride, it having been designed by Ferdinand Porsche and all, and fairly fast for its size...it's just that it was ugly-ass heavy-the operational plan was to have it ford rivers in pairs, one Maus supplying electrical power to the other until it got across, then the first across would return the favor- and it had hideous fuel efficiency.....and that's without factoring in the fact that it would have been a magnet for every artillery piece and ground attack aircraft in the area)
And heavy bombers most likely.

Or they would have just waited for the Germans to run out of fuel....then the Mauses would have just been overpriced pillboxes, and the Allies would have just shelled the snot out of them.
They would need some big guns to pen them.

How does the old joke go? If you want to know who you're facing, fire a shot in their direction. If the response is several measured shots, you're facing the British. If the response is a sustained burst of machine gun fire, it's Germans. If there's a pause and then artillery starts raining down on you, it's Americans. And if wave after wave of tanks and infantry come at you, it's Russians.

-ZWEEETTT-
A section of wall falls down and two robed figures step into the room, glowing wands of plasma light held before them.
Mystery Figure 1: "We're here to put an end to your invasion of Naboo."
Robotech Master: "Naboo?! Is that your name for your planet, micronian? I thought it was called Earth?"
Mystery Figure 2: "I sense confusion, Master."
Robotech Master: "No confusion. You DIE!"
(The blaster on the underside of their Protoculture Cap starts blazing away at the newcomers, who automatically bat the bolts back at the Masters, wiping them out)
Qui-Gon: "Control, Obi-Wan, control. I wanted to take them ALIVE."
Obi-Wan: "Oops. Well, maybe this will stop the invasion."
Qui-Gon: "I'm puzzled; these don't look like Nemodians...could we have made a wrong turn somewhere? After fighting those giant droids..."
The two misplaced Jedi were still trying to figure that one out when when Dana Sterling and Zor Prime arrived on the scene. Zor Prime's frustration at being cheated of revenge was pathos indeed....

Re: Robotech Crossover question
Let me cry a little in my corner for a part of my childhood is gone.some where some day.I hope to find it again;but for now I mourn softly for awhile.
Who is evil?
Who is joy
Who is pain
Who is death
Who is good
Who is blind
Who is foolish
Who is smart
Me and you that's who
For we are mankind.

S'right. You aren't alone in that. Was a tough year.
