Downtown Khazan: The Restaurant At The End Of The Omniverse

Wow. Six hours and 35 minutes without a post.

Did I miss a "no posting in Downtown Khazan" meeting or something?

Oh well.

I'd post but half the time I have no buggering idea what people are talking about.

And suddenly I'm english. *blink*

Tea and crumpets, old bean?

Reading medieval fantasy instead of school work proved to be...inconveniant

I really like the name of this new Khazan thread.

I can see I'm in your head FE. Soon the whole of Khazan will be saying 'bugger'.

*Walks in, looks around.*
*Takes a table by the window to observe the End of The Omniverse close up*
*Raises hand, nonchalantly*
"Garcon! Bring me cake and the finest wines known to man."
*Sits back and listens in to conversations.*

You know, I'm reading Superman: Red Son and I think Lex Luthor from that Elseworld define overreacting even more than the mainstream one. (Note: "Terminated contract" = "Shot in the face".)

"Don't interrupt, Lois. This conversation has only been calculated to last 38 seconds; our marriage is about to begin an indefinite sabbatical effective immediately. This time will be spent devising a way to humiliate and defeat Superman just as he has humiliated and defeated me.
I have resigned from S.T.A.R. Labs, destroyed my notes and terminated the contracts of anyone who understood my procedures. The Superman duplicate is an error that must not be repeated. Say you understand, darling. Say you don't take this as a personal insult."

"Are you telling me that our marriage is over because Superman beat your monster in a fight?"

"What are you talking about? I don't care about the fight. I'm devoting my life to Superman for another reason entirely, Lois. The duplicate of that alien farm boy had the audacity to beat me at chess last night."

I still think that's more logical than "So let me get this straight..... I can have infinite power, and achieve whatever I want in the Universe, and all I have to do is stop dicking about with Superman? Screw that! I don't WANT that omnipotence if I'm not allowed to periodically inconvenience someone who has saved the Universe on several occasions!"

Bugger. Bollocks. Arse. Twat. Shite. Wank.

The Holy Hexagon of British Swearing.

If one can master the appropriate (and entirely inappropriate) use of all six words, one can truly become an honorary Brit.

Tip 1: To a true master, any of these words can be used as not only a noun, but also as a verb, as an adjective, and often as an adverb.

Also I have found that the use of the word "Cock," as a verb is quite a British brand of profanity.

Ex: "Just when you think you're safe at home, some cocking shite-merchant comes, knocks on the door and tries to sell you a whole bunch of wank out of a suitcase,"

[Beadle]

How did I forget "cock"?

OK, so it's a Holy Heptagon.

Edit: There is also an 8th word that is particularly British in its application, but it could never be referred to as "holy". I've taken to referring to people as The Archbishop of C*nterbury recently.

It was more than just Superman, as I recall. He basically couldn't do anything that would be bad for someone.

Ah, I never read it, so that makes more sense. Until now, everyone I've heard talk about that scene just referred to him having to stop screwing with Supes.

[Siriel]

That's because Luthor pretty much went "So I can do all that...if I forgive him?" then went screw that.

But as I recall, it wasn't just Superman. It's just that Luthor obviously focused on the guy he hated the most.

[Omegalith]

It was roughly:

Big Scary Looking Nigh-Omnipotent Phantom Zone Entity: "THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL RESONANCE OF YOUR DIMENSION PAINS ME! WHEN I BREAK OUT I WILL END ALL LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT!"

Lex Luthor: "I steal your powers with my awesome sexy brain!"

BSLNOPZE: "HEY, NO PROBLEM LITTLE BUDDY! IF YOU WANT IT SO BADLY IT'LL OBVIOUSLY MAKE YOU HAPPY. LET ME JUST CHANGE THE NATURE OF MY POWERS FIRST SO THAT IF THEY'RE USED TO HARM ANYTHING THEY'LL RAPIDLY DRAIN AWAY."

Lex: "B... But he's right there! HATE!"

Clark: "Lex, calm down. You were examining the contents of my brain a minute ago, and you're certainly a smart guy. Deep down are you really still so in denial that I might not be some horrible monster that needs stopping at all cost?"

Lex: "YES! HAAAAAAAAATE!"

Not worthy of a thread in its own right, but I was curious.....

....... Where would people pitch The Captain (Nextwave) at in terms of strength, speed, durability etc?

He's a pretty good all-rounder (other than being an alcholic, self-loathing scumbag of a hero), but I have no idea where to put him in terms of power-levels.

All I know is he beat up a deliberately pathetic parody of Dormammu. Given how strong Dormammu is in the first place, that's probably somewhat impressive, though it's kinda hard to tell.
