I Can Has ROFL Nyao? Or, The ROTFLMAO of the Catgirl

[Bob Schroeck]

Mina: "CHANGE SUBJECT! Clean cup! Move down!"

That's a wonderful callback to the special Minako story Shadowjack came up with which expains her malaprops and weird behavior, with the little drawing of Minako, age 9, as Alice in Wonderland.

This...

"Just making sure we're all on the same page." Volkovich shouldered
the carbine, "How much do you know about mechanical engineering?"
"Almost
nothing: when I was younger, my parents wanted me to go initally into
the life of a merchant, so that formed the basis of my education. What
few procedures I do remember are all dependant on Wraithbone." Nénharma
shook her head, "Since I became a warrior, my training had been geared
more towards breaking things apart than fixing them"
"Same general
principles apply, just in reverse." Volkovich pointed to a large metal
box, "You can carry the tool kit; the Orks have this nasty habit of
blowing holes in this overgrown tin can."

And this...

"Looks like the main power artery is undamaged; the serge protectors
did their job, may the Omnisaiah bless them, but the cut out is fused in
the open position, and I've no way of getting it shut again without
ripping it out and replacing it." He looked over to his companion, "I
don't suppose you have a surge protector for a Mk33 Bolo combat unit
with you?""Sorry," The Eldar warrior shook her head, "left it in my other armour."
"Well
then, we make do and mend." Volkovich rummaged around inside the tool
case until he found a large spanner, "This should just about do it."
"What exactly do you mean by 'it'?" Nénharma asked hesitantly, feeling totally out of her depth.
"I'm
going to jam it in between the two ends of the power artery and
spot-weld it in place." the mechanic explain as he pulled on his
goggles, "And then prey that it doesn't make the entire turret blow up
in our faces."
"Oh," The Eldar blinked, surprised at how okay she was with the plan, "That's good then."

He bought the place from some fashion model who was really into astrology and then died mysteriously or something."
Mamoru: "That's absolutely correct, and how'd you know?"
Usagi: "Just because I don't understand your primitive Earth tongues doesn't mean I'm clueless. I hear things. I have connections. You know."

Usagi: "I wasn't that good, so they must be applauding you."

From the latest chapter of the Buffy/Tom Swift jr crossover mentioned in the Recomendations thread:

"So Buffy's been kidnapped?" Oz asked, "Do the kidnappers realize what a big
mistake they've made?"
Willow stopped panicking and started to grin,
"Probably not. She might've not bothered to put the word 'Intentionally'  before
'Captured' and after 'Getting', but I'm pretty sure it's there in spirit." she
glanced in the mirror and saw her own smile and immediately put on a grim face.
"Must stay sombered up while Phil's around," she said to herself. "The grabbee

Cubone nodded, then cast aside her Thick Club and walked slowly into the centre of the arena. Raising her head high, she began to speak in what sounded like a chant.

"Bone bone cu Bone cu cu bone…"

Jessie looked befuddled. "What's that?"

After a few seconds in which Meowth did not volunteer an explanation, everyone noticed he was missing. Cubone carried on with her chant, and Koga's team watched in interest.

Abra eventually put everyone out of their misery. The first part means, 'I am the bone of my club…' but I don't know what that is supposed to mean, unless… he noticed the currents of energy curling around the arena. Oh, very good. Very good indeed. I didn't even suspect she knew how to do this!

"My bones are the earth, my skin is the sky.

I have wielded the past of thousands,

Serving life,

Understanding death,

Yet on the razor's edge between the two."

"What is it?" James asked in concern. "What's she doing?"

"My past and future collide on the grassy plain.

I ask for only, the Bones of the hills!"

Abra replied tersely. Reality marble.

And then there was no need to explain, as blue and red fire remade the world into a field of swaying grass, a field of bones, under a stormy sky.

"Hey, Misty!" Ash called as he left the trees by the river they'd set up near. "You know how you're terrified of bugs?"
WHANG!
Misty handed Brock back his dented frying pan. "What was that, Ash? I didn't hear you."
"Ugh… I was trying to help…" Ash rubbed his aching head.
"Well, I don't need your help! I have it under control!"
Brock spoke up. "Hey, look, a Beedrill."
Misty started, ran in a random direction, and fell in the stream. Ash sighed, and went to haul her out.
"Misty, you need help. Now, either I try my therapy Aura technique on you, or…"
Misty hmphed. "I'll take the other option."
"The
other option is that Squirtle gets you over it with sheer distilled
awesome. Possibly involving ripping open dimensions, rock music from
nowhere, and punches."
"…I'll take the Aura technique."
Squirtle put his sunglasses away sadly. "And I was so hoping I could deliver a Dimensional Therapy Punch, as well…"

"SUMMONING: ARMY OF FOXES!"

Naruto was one of the first summoners in history to have sufficient chakra for this. He summoned every single fox on his contract, from the largest – three the size of large buildings – to the smallest, a tiny fox (called "Moe") that was too small to actually fight and mainly used because of weapons grade cute.

That latter fox was sent after Temari, managing to completely immobilize her in about a quarter of a second.

Shadowjack has finally been exposed to the grandeur that is Doorknobder!
Yes, http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?596 ... st14868872]he's watched episode 109...

Eudial (via somewhat-damaged but still-functional telephone): "Anyway, just checking, but we're saying that the bright pastel butterfly future of 80s anime is the Bad End, right?"
The Professor: "Of course! Is there any question?"
Eudial (via telephone): "Well, speaking from prior experience, I'm not sure that turning world governance over to the Camarilla would be an improvement."

Usagi: "WHY GOD?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!! I can't take this level of stress and suffering!!! I cannot possibly imagine anything worse than—"
Rei: "¿Excuse me? ¿How many of us in this room have died?"
Everyone: /raises their hands.
Rei: "¿More than once?"
Everyone: /hands stay up.

Usagi: "Ami, when they asked me, 'Cake or Death?', I expect to receive cake, not whole-grain crackers with a heart-healthy spread."
Ami: "You'd eat them anyway though, wouldn't you?"
Usagi: "…yyyyeah. But I'd whine about it!"

Luna: "Usagi's got a pure love for Mamoru, true, but she also has a pure love for eating and sleeping, and a pure hate for studying, so if that's what they're calling a pure heart, than any idiot off the street qualifies."
Usagi: "Yeah! …HEY."

Usagi: "Maybe we should place her under deathwatch surveillance."
Luna: "I don't know. Mina's our rock; she'd never do anything too irrational."
Artemis: "Did you even read my reports, Luna?"

Mamoru: "No kidding! …Are you sure this isn't some extended con game on her part?"
Usagi: "If it is, she's fooling even herself this time. She won't let us talk her out of it, and it's not like we can restrain her. Ami only owns one pair of cuffs, and Mina can pick them."
Mamoru: "Damn. Well, she's young and healthy, so she can recover… I think all you can do is make sure she eats well and rests, and be there to pick her up if she keels over."
Usagi: "…Yeah."
Mamoru: "What do you think, a vampire daimon in a nurse's outfit?"
Usagi: "You wish. Too appealing. It'll be a sapient blood bag with stand and phlebotomy needle."
Mamoru: "Or, no, an anthropomorphized ambulance! It'll spray blood on us."
Usagi: "I'll get tangled up in a pile of giant red blood cells. Ugh, they're going to be all sticky…"
Mamoru: "Hmm. It'll be tricky to come up with a speech about pure maiden's blood that doesn't sound creepy…"
Usagi: "I have faith in you."

(Why does Ami own even one pair of handcuffs? On second thought, don't answer that.)

Usagi: "In the name of the Moon, return that girl's soul at once, for I am SAILOR MOON!"
Haruka: "AHA! I knew it! I mean, uh, gosh, it's Sailor Moon! I had no idea!"

I suspect that Ami would own a pair of handcuffs for the same reason I wanted to own a pair of handcuffs when I was in highschool - a) they were cool and b) because you never knew when you needed one.
Any other reasons for handcuffs came after highschool, when I was old enough to get into the local sex shops. Granted, that was before the Internet Age, but so is Sailor Moon, more or less.

An NYT article that mentioned the D&D edition wars:

A result, said David M. Ewalt, a senior editor at Forbes and the author
of a forthcoming history of Dungeons & Dragons, has been a fractured
fan base. The game is a group activity, he said, and playing together
is tricky when players use different rules. “Imagine trying to organize a
basketball team, if the point guard adheres to modern league rules, but
the center only knows how to play ancient Mayan handball.”

... And then the center insists that the loosing team be ritually sacrificed after the game.

after the game.

I can only see that as a tournament variant... parties face each other in arena combat and the losing team has to do a run through a minor dungeon with a semi-killer DM.  Its not that the dungeon is unfair.. its the DM is trying to kill you with the rules.  I think its based off hearing from a guy DMing sense the mid-80s that in 4th edition, any random encount of equal level starting at  2-3 verses a equivalent level party will kill them (TPK), period, unless they are the munchkin avatar(s) of the RNG god... that is if the DM isn't holding back.  Concidering this is the store owner and he fills between DM and player frequently and was attempting to break the system both ways this says something.

So VladamirTherin suggested the Whateley Academy stories and I've been hooked on them the past few days. There's a number of amusing scenes, but I'll start with this one from Reflections in an Evil Eye:

“Toni, Sahar is…
dangerous.”

“Zee --- I hang out with a demon princess and a
girl who almost got chucked in Hawthorn. I have a jealous
girlfriend, and a boyfriend who doesn’t know about
her. I have one of the most powerful cliques in school out
for my head, and there’s a school administrator who
wants to give it to ‘em. Hey, Danger is my middle
name.” Toni blinked. “Actually, it’s
‘Marc’- I gotta look into changing that. Toni
Danger Chandler; has a nice ring to it.”

And a scene from Enter the Chaka:

She leaned forward on the bed, folding her hands on her crossed knee
and gave me a sly smile. “And so, what’s YOUR
‘superhero’ name gonna be? I think that
‘Vixen’ is taken.”



“Actually, Nikki and I were just talking about that. I
haven’t really decided.”



Her eyes popped open wide and began to sparkle. “REALLY? Kewl!
Lessee now, what would fit you? You’re this big Ki muck-a-muck-
so how about ‘Black Dragon’?”



“Sorry, I’d look crappy in a chiamsong, smoking with a
long cigarette holder.”



“Nngg... How about ‘Dragon Princess’?”



“What? And have to mix it up with the Powerpuff Girls?”



“How about ‘Doctor Ki’?”



“Sounds like a Hong Kong Dentist.”



“How about ‘Dragonfist’?”



“Naahh- it’d be too easy to twist into
‘Dragonbreath’.”



“Humpf! Okay, let’s dump the whole ‘Dragon’
thing.”



“Fine by me!”



“Okay, something ‘hunterish’- how about
‘Stalker’?”



“Great! And if that’s taken, I can try
‘Mugger’ or ‘Serial Killer’.”

And a few moments later:

“Aahhh- how about ‘Simba’, as in
‘Lion’?”


“Already covered this with Jade- ‘Simba’ is a GUY
lion. And I don’t wanna go back there!”



“Good for you, sweetie. Then how about
‘Nala’?”



“Nala? What’s a ‘Nala’?”



“It’s the name of Simba’s girlfriend in The Lion
King.”



“WHAT? And take on Disney? Are you Crazy?”



“Oh god, you’re right! I never even said that!”

My favorite one is from The Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy.

Chou gently said to Molly, “We all knew it wasn’t you.  Why don’t we go sit down somewhere and-”
Suddenly, a little Chou in a saffron-colored Chinese monk’s robe peered from Chou’s right shoulder and said, “The balance must be preserved!  Don’t do that, the balance might be ruined!”  Chou stopped.  “No, don’t do that either!  That might ruin the balance!”
Another little Chou in a similar monk’s robe peered from Chou’s left shoulder and shook her head, “Balance and Chaos monkey doodle fandango.”
“What?” Chou snapped.
“Jade!” I growled.
“It wasn’t me!” Jade piped up.
The right-hand monk nodded sagely, “It all makes sense to me. If I am Balance, then she is Chaos.”
The left-hand monk nodded in agreement.  “And chocolate automobile hammer walrus.”
The right-hand monk fussed, “No!  Not that either!  That might also ruin the balance!”
Great.  The little monk of Chaos was completely Dadaist, and the little monk of Balance was more obsessive-compulsive than Fractious.
Behind me, Chaka purred fiercely, “Jade, if you know what’s good for you…”
“I swear, this time it’s not me!” Jade insisted.
“Balance froufrou elbow armadillo!  And wingnut too!” insisted the monk of Chaos.
Chou glared at it and snapped, “Stop it!”
It looked at her and waved its arms frantically, “Garbanzo elementary coleslaw, or else radical underwear maple!  Hardware?”

The Squirrel sub-series, starring Aquerna are a particular favorite of mine. Here are a couple of highlights:

“Fuck you, bitch. When I get a hold of you, You’ll be screamin’ fer yer
mommy.”

“Okay. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

He suddenly realized that there were big gray squirrels and little brown
chipmunks surrounding the two of them. Dozens of ‘em. HUNDREDS of ‘em. And
every single squirrel was staring right at him.

“What the f…”

She chittered, “Attack him! Bite him! Don’t let him grab you! But bite
him and stay away from his hands and feet!”

Buster watched in shock as hundreds and hundreds of chipmunks and
squirrels suddenly bolted straight at him.

And then they were all over him, biting through his clothes, biting on
his tough skin. His skin was a lot tougher than normal, but…

“OW! OW! OW OW OW OW!! GET ‘EM OFF ME!!!! OOWWW!”

…but his skin wasn’t as tough as the teeth of a rodent that could bite
through an acorn.

“AAAAAAGGGHHHH!!” He ran screaming across the park, swatting frantically.
By the time he reached the edge of the park, his clothes and shoes were long
gone, and most of his hair had been chewed to pieces.

Buster ran naked through the streets, trying to keep ahead of an army of
fucking little gray monsters that were trying to EAT him or something.
“SQUIRRELS! GET EM AWAY FROM ME! SQUIRRELS!!!”

Before
Ree could say a thing, Anna yanked off her coat and boots. She dumped them into
Ree’s arms, and she moved.

She
ran into the alley so no one would see her do anything freaky, and then she went
right up the brick wall until she was maybe fifteen feet up and no one was gonna
think about looking up there.

She
could see the whole thing now. A big mean guy with a huge knife had trapped the
lady with the little girl and baby and that big shopping bag, when the lady was
just trying to cut through the alleys with a cranky kid. Anna just knew she couldn’t
let that creep steal those presents and stuff when that family didn’t have
anything else!

Anna
jumped. She came down right next to the crook and moved before he even realized
she was beside him. She grabbed his forearm in a judo hold. She twisted hard,
and the guy yelled in pain as he dropped his knife. He still hadn’t figured out
what was going on, so Anna threw him over her shoulder and scrambled up the
wall.

She
could still hear the little girl. “Mommy! You said Santa was real and I said
Daddy said no, but Santa’s elf just saved us!”

“Huh?”

“Santa’s real! And I was so mean about him, but
his elf saved us!”
