John M. Ford's latest signature (from the Pyramid boards)

This one should bring a, er, smile to all you animated DCU fans out there.

                           John M. Ford
                  Div. of Inappropriate Technology
                Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow
            Creators of HARLEY LOVES JOKEY, THE SITCOM:
    "Now, Harley, on this conveyor belt are a series of hypodermics. 
As they pass, I want you to fill them with Yours Truly Venom, attach a
large pointy needle, and bag them for transport.  Do you think you can
do that, hmmmmmm?"
    "Gosh, Mister J, I -am- a doctor."  [laughtrack]
    "Yes.  Don't remind me.  All right now, this electric buzzer
controls the speed of the belt.  Pause now to let the older members of
the audience fill their grandkids in on the setup."
    "You got it, Punkin."
    "It's a good thing I'm already insane." [laughtrack]

A better example of said evil genius I could not ask for. (I can hear the voices; how about you?)

No tea today

I was there from 12:00 to 1:00, but no one else showed up. Oh well - other people wanted the table.

Thoughts about character backgrounds that won't make much sense to anyone not in naudiz's upcoming Buffy game:

sbloss: You can still justify buying the "Misfit" quality. Hanging around with us darkies from out of town would be just the latest in a long (juvenile) record of bad or at least irresponsible behavior.

indiecowboy: If you're still thinking about alternatives that would also fit a mystic background, I had the thought that maybe your character could be Chinese; this quality includes a Weird Old Relative (grandparent, aunt or uncle) absolutely free! ("Pay attention, child!" *thwack*) Or you could go for black and Chinese - double the family wackiness! (Hey, it works for Tiger.)

Oh, and while I'm at it: hey, lethran! Can you tell me what the current best-guess timeframe is for the historical Arthur? Nearest century will suffice.
