Local authorities, with the up-siders still overseeing, placed Jackalbyte in a maximum- security prison. The prison's design was borrowed from the Spacebullion design which had once kept Dark Headgear confined before he turned good. Less than a day later, characters whom we haven't seen lately...

I have written before about metal events which Wood Nymph and I have attended. A virtual certainty at any such performance is that-- FAR FROM what is claimed by detractors of metal music-- you'll find many more people who have SUFFERED harm in their lives, than people who wish to INFLICT harm on...

HEADLESS LIZZIE, agent of Hopecrusher Central, the grotesque humanoid whose upper lip was almost IN her nostrils, had earlier tried to increase extreme feminism on Kantpoo. (Kantpoo always having queens and never kings had not been good enough to satisfy her.) This had not worked well for her...

There's a strange air about some strangers. You meet some people, and you're at a loss to understand why they behave in a certain way.

Have you seen the John Wick movies? The receptionist you described reminds me of the characters who run the "Continental Hotels" in those movies. Is there some secret activity going on under the surface here?

Welcome aboard, says the U.S. Navy veteran! If you're unsure how to advance through a topic thread, what you do is use your cursor on a row of page numbers, like this: --1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--

Next segment begins on human-settled Planet Powurkord, which is not officially part of the Republic of Lots of Worlds, but has regular cultural and commercial ties with the Republic. Powurkord is governed by the Heptagorta, whose members are elected (never all seven at once) by popular ballot...

Welcome aboard, says this Navy veteran and grandfather! Have you read Mister Lewis' autobiography "Surprised By Joy"? It's a highly valuable map of a spiritual journey.

The culprits in the gradually-unfolding investigation consisted of two oxygen-breathing races, one of them entirely new to our story. The familiar beings were some of the Bigfoot-like Juggernasties: the same species to which Highmaster Starterus belonged. The others, as long and high as an...

There's a thing which happens with title music for TV shows: they start with an excellent, sophisticated melody, but later switch to a raucous, in-your-face song. Season One of "Monk" had an opening guitar instrumental which supported a SUBTLE exposition of the agony deep in Adrian Monk's heart...

Scene changes to a star system located on the far side of Heyho Earth from anything we've looked at heretofore. This is to say, farther away from all the familiar sub-realities than any other episodes set in the Milky Way galaxy were. Johnny-747, Cortexa, First Sergeant Avery Thompson, and...

There are superhero franchises, like "Watchmen," in which heroes are unique and remarkable WITHOUT superhuman powers. In fact, Mexican cinema has provided MANY films in which masked wrestlers defeat powerful villains purely by Batman-like athleticism and cleverness. Imagine the A-Team...

Anarchy is not self-perpetuating. People can't live with LITERALLY NO rules or standards. There may be a condition in which NO MORALS are upheld, but self-preservation will eventually drive people to form SOME kind of cooperating groups. There was anarchy, BRIEFLY, at the start of the...

FanofSkandar, I discovered something on Youtube a year or two ago, which could fit in your Bollywood production. It turns out that BAGPIPES are known and used in India. I can't remember the name, but there's a young Indian woman who does videos of herself playing a bagpipe. One such video...

Thank you, now I can see why mods didn't realize MY account still had a problem.

My above question remains.

Princess Frances, will YOU tell me if you still have the font-color-etc. menu on your account?

Again visiting the first decade of metal, we find that one pioneering group came from the state which was once home to Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, plus Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz.

I wasn't sure where to say this, but--- Am I the _only_ person on Dancing Lawn who _can't_ get the menu for Bold, Italics, etc. on posts?
