"Her jutting bossom could topple the heavens"?

[KBF]

Kris, have you seen Gurren Lagann? Is this a reference?!

[SheanaM]

I'm still holding out for them to attack Los Angeles.

What you may not realize, being from the twenty-first century, is that Cutter is referring to Los Angeles, New Mexico.

A-MEN.

How is Zarde suddenly a captain with multiple years' experience? Since the Fuseli slipped back in time when the continuity-bomb went off, wouldn't he have just gotten out of his 2nd year of Kaptaingarten?

[Kris Straub]

That's true, but it's been a year since the reboot, and Zarde was probably pushed through school fast on account of his amazing abilities and anger.

[KBF]

Thanks for the excuse to read the Blightmoon arc again, even if the name aged poorly. Too similar to Twilight. Eugh.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING HE LOVES MORE THAN COMMAND. AND THAT'S MATH. AND THERE IS ONLY ONE THING HE LOVES MORE THAN MATH. BEATING YOU INTO THE GROUND.

And let us not pass the Hate-marriage without a careful eye.

[GeekMan]

"GOOD LUCK ALL"

Okay, that was pretty cool, and does rightly fall under the whole "pomp" category.

I imagine that the preparations constituted an incredible waste of manpower, for a result lost on military commanders eager to start their HATE-ORGY.

[Him.]

The lovely engineer thinks it a trifle . . . trifling.

[Imp. Severn Felix]

Are the ships close enough together for anyone to enjoy the sentiment anyway?

[Him.]

The sensors aboard the vessels appears near-equal to ST:TOS and the ships were in proximity, so maybe.

Tactical group Hibiscus... WHAT IS with the botanical ship names?!

Tactical group Hibiscus... WHAT IS with the botanical ship names?!

Admiral Huff is secretly trying to tell the galaxy how gay he is. He simply refuses to admit it openly and instead hides it in coded messages.

Either that, or he really loves flowers.

[Him.]

It makes a sort of sense. If named on innocuous terms others are a little less likely to appreciate the threat they pose. For a given combatant value, the cruiser Thunderbolt and the cruiser Spring Rain both have a psychological edge.

[Stephen Brooks]

I was receiving topic reply notification e-mails at work about "Her jutting bossom could topple the heavens", wondered if I should unsubscribe from this particular one so people don't ask "Hey... what's that about?"

[scythemantis]

Even "pierce the heavens" has been a phrase for centuries before Gurren Lagghan. Jeez. This is almost as bad as people asking if Diving Suits are a reference to Bioshock.

[TemporalParadox]

They aren't?

[Him.]

And so the wyrm turns.

[Nateman]

That's true, but it's been a year since the reboot, and Zarde was probably pushed through school fast on account of his amazing abilities and anger.

Wow, if anger could produce such results my brother should have graduated college by the age of 9.

[Him.]

From which school?

[Nateman]

From which school?

Hard Knocks?

[Him.]

Ah, another alumnus of SHK.
