Question for Boston people...

[minxnim]

i liked the book a lot. once my dad's friend brought me a cockroach in a cage back from mexico and i liked it but i felt bad and let it go on east mountain in the spring. there are probably like 60,000x10^1,200 now

haha one day the dope will be your STEPFATHER!

 

[minxnim]

that would be soooo messed up

 

[The Dope]

I will be in Augusta, down the street from the Masters Golf Club, rowing on the filthy, toxic Savannah river. If I were to fall in, I'd probably end up being a bodiless head as well.

 

[xfer]

if you were to steal preppy's mother from preppy's father, i'm assuming you'd end up a bodiless head, as well.

 

[The Dope]

Or a headless body?

 

[xfer]

It depends where you couch your notion of selfhood, I suppose.

 

[minxnim]

hahaha

The most important thing I've gotten out of this thread is that the only reason Alex doesn't kill roaches is because he doesn't want a mess on his foot/floor.

 

[The Dope]

The police would more likely find just my body than just my head, so I'll stick with headless body.

 

[minxnim]

alex just doesnt want the roaches climbing into his pseudo trunk/bag of clothes

[FuSoYa]

my roommate walks in and i am like 'so, you guys should leave and maybe like... go next door? she leaves dogfood out.. .that stuff is good... we don't even eat here... so....'

there is a 50-point GURPS Disadvantage called "No Manipulators" that means you're entirely limbless and "must perform all actions with [your] head and neck".

it does help defray the cost of the 290-point Advantage "Being of Pure Thought".

is this him?

 

[minxnim]

matt said that's not the guy!

 

[The Dope]

That guy definitely has a body. Apparently this guy had virtually NO body whatsoever.
