Seems to be a lot of introductions and specific requests on this thing recently. Let's change things up a bit. Here's a few general questions for the masses:

1. If you could travel to any time period, when would it be and why?
2. If you could have any superpower, what would you want? Why?
3. What's your stripper name? Name of your first or favorite pet/stuffed animal + the name of the street you grew up on. Mine's 'Bear Handley'.

Feel free to comment on everybody else's answers. That's what's supposed to make forums like this interesting.

That may be the best one I've seen yet. Whose idea was it to name the dog/cat/fish 'Handsome'?

1649, and I like being a normal human.

[ because a supervillain without powers is totally a normal human. ]

[aeturnus]

My wife. She thought it'd be funny to name the cat Handsome instead of me.

So do I, but that defeats the spirit of the question. Anyway, 1649? Not exactly the most hopping year.

[atms]

Cute.

Depends on your definition of hopping. 1649 is the year Charles I was executed. Plenty of interesting things happening in England at the time.

[aeturnus]

She thought so.

All right, point, I wasn't considering deaths and executions. So you would have gone for front row seats?

[atms]

Not quite. I'm more interested in what happened after that.

[aeturnus]

The introduction of a republic? All that civil unrest?

[atms]

Cromwell getting rid of some of the crown jewels.

[aeturnus]

Aha. I'll admit, probably pretty exciting history to be part of.

[atms]

So I hear.

Why the rise of the Roman empire?

[aeturnus]

To see if the myths are real, what was really behind all that.

[atms]

Sounds like a long term visit.

[aeturnus]

Sure, probably. Not a whole lot going right now anyway,

[atms]

To each their own. Personally, I'd rather not spend too much time in a place without modern amenities.

[aeturnus]

[ Neither would he, but on the other hand it'd literally be just like old times again. ]

It would be like an extended camping trip. Then I'd never go camping again.

[atms]

At least you'd have some decent weather, generally speaking.

[aeturnus]

It's not Britain, that's for sure.

[atms]

Land of the cold and rain. Makes you wonder why anyone ever set up shop there.

[aeturnus]

Maybe no one would want to invade if they didn't have to?

[atms]

Bet they were regretting that idea when the Romans came around.

[aeturnus]

Who didn't regret it when the Romans came around? For a while, anyway.

[atms]

I'm assuming the Romans.

[aeturnus]

Sure, go for the easy answer. Then again, see: my time travel wish.

[atms]

What can I say? Apparently all conversational roads with you lead to Rome.

[aeturnus]

You're the one who started it.

[atms]

Actually, I think that'd be you, since you were the first one to mention Rome.
