Could've been a useful song... - robkelk - 10-07-2005
Tried to save the trees
Bought a platsic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap
Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap
I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap
Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap
I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap
I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap
Piece of Crap, by Neil Young
Since this is a Neil Young song, the usual question gets revised to "What happens if Doug goofs and plays the song accidentally?" I'm thinking that every piece of technology in the area of effect that could malfunction would have a chance of malfunctioning.
In GURPS, that would be a roll against 18-(TL of the device); a failed roll means consult the appropriate Malfunction table. A catapault (TL2) would fail on 17 or 18, a Colt .45 (TL6) would fail on 13 or higher, a phaser (TL12) would fail on 7 or higher, and so on...
Anybody know of a song that Doug would be willing to play, that would give the same effect?
