What's with all the chicks?
I've noticed that there are a helluva lot more women around here than there used to be.
In my day we made do with ONE woman, and we worshiped her as a god.
Well anyway, did all these new people pop up because of ROTS? Or is it simply the fact that the teenage population of the board has quit acting like a bunch of wankers and scaring them off?

Both and neither. We have a variety of posters who still act up, we laebl them the Angry Young Virgin Brigade. Intially a joke by one poster...has now become a sad reality.
As for the women...most have just migrated from different zones. Two are wives, and a few are just people who just happen upon here.
And heck two of the mods are married to each other.

I like having more females around though, especially since all of them are awesome.
Well with people like Zaia around how can they not be

I was thinking it was one of the results of the board's focus going away from sci-fi and toward general issues (and thus, topics women would find more interest in), but then I figured that to most casual observers who've seen the place for the first time, we're no less sci-fi-oriented than we were 35 months ago, and the usual rate at which female members find this place and sign up was just complimented by people on the forum reccomending it to women they know.

Um, speaking for myself I just wandered in here one day after somebody posted a link on another board. I'm still not entirely sure why I stuck around but I did. Make of that what you will.
After all, this is completely straightforward. What could possibly go wrong?

I think that that's one of the more disturbing images put into my head; a woman walking around with a metaphysical penis... it's there, but, it's not.SyntaxVorlon wrote:No no, you have a metaphysical penis.
I think paraphrasing Kent Brockman will sum up my feelings about our eventually enslavement: "One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the women will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new female overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted, university trained individual, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground chocolate factories."

Thanks.*helps Morrigan up, rights her chair*
Yeah, so what happens when the New Order comes to power, eh? Will we boys be made obsolete?
And Hell no. Some of you will still be required you for, er... recreational purposes.
As well as fetching us drinks and such like.

Perhaps we should erect some sort of permenant monument to Lusankya. Nothing fancy, just a fifteen foot high solid gold jewel-encrusted statue or something...

I'm down with subjugation...need a quisling in the ranks of the Male Armada to ease your way to power? I'm your man.
Er...in more ways than one, given the context, but I didn't mean that when I wrote it.

Magic tricks eh? Heheheh... EDIT: I could have made the obvious dirty joke here, but thought you would be weirded out by my strangeness.The Morrigan wrote:Well actually, I was hoping you could do magic tricks or a nice song & dance routine. But yeah a massage will do.
Sorry, I don't dance. I sing though, badly. But I don't know any songs.

That's ok. I'm not all that easy to weird out. In fact in my experience, I'm usually the one who does the weirding out. My personal record is sending somebody screaming into the night, or more accurately the Legal Prac library, within five minutes of meeting them.
