Can anyone list me the different 'weapon modifications' in Star Munchkin

I have a new laser printer to name, and decided it needs to be something like 'bananafananalaser' but can;t remember the exact ones...

Your Score: Morticia Addams!


Our test has determined that you possess
48% Hellbentness, 65% Sanguinity, and 55% Creeps!
Well done!




Your Proto-Goth Icon is Morticia Addams!


Morticia is a vampish woman who dresses only in black and loves to cut the buds from roses, leaving only the thorny stems. She and her husband Gomez both come from long lines of maniacs and monsters.


Morticia and Gomez are passionately in love, and are deeply concerned with the well-being of their children. Though they all share an obsession and interest in death, dying, and other gothic and macabre subjects, the Addamses are not evil people (in several of the TV episodes, Gomez is willing to donate large sums to worthy causes, to the shock of the already shell-shocked visitors), and usually restrict their ghoulish activities to within their own family. Most of the Addamses' neighbours are less than understanding, however. Within the larger community, the Addamses are viewed as oddballs, dangerous, or worse.

1:07 pm - New Year's Eve 2007...
Whilst New Year's Eve 2006 and in fact every New Year's eve for the past 14 years or so (Excepting 1999, which I didn't hold...) was a damn fine party and very enjoyable, I regret to announce that this will be the last New Year's Eve party that I will be hosting at houseofgoth, due partially to uncertaincy over future housing and also in part due to wanting to actually just go out and get drunk and throw up in someone else's garden for once ;)


So, there will be no houseofgoth party on 31st December 2007, although, you never know, some other event might rise out of the ashes instead...


So I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone who has turned up over the years and to reminisce over the good times over the past 14 or so years of NYE parties.

5:17 pm - Bizarre dream...
Much as I don;t like just posting random dreams here... last night's (or should I saw... Knight's?) was worth repeating.


The scene was a company-organised team building outing, similar to paintball.

It was a medieval tourney - jousting and fighting with swords and all that. I had been given a metal sword instead of plastic as I had done this sort of thing before.

Nothing really odd about that.

Except all of this took place in the Sheffield canal basin (except a bit more run down than it is now). Whilst full of water, with the lists being marked out like swimming lanes in a swimming pool, the overall effect being like if water polo really was polo played in the water.

Water jousting against against a decaying urban landscape and ,of course as in dreams, all of this seemed perfectly reasonable and normal...


Sometimes I despair at my subconscious.

11:07 am - Reminder - Annual Sheffgoth Picnic - MayDay Bank Holiday - 1st May 2006
Just a reminder....

I will also have a small number of Gotherham tickets with me at the picnic.


Sheffgoth Picnic!

Monday 1st May (MayDay Bank Holiday) @ The Botanical Gardens from around 1:30pm ish

[*]

Meet beforehand in the Nursery Tavern from midday for a pint or 2, or join us straight at the Botanical Gardens - look for the bunch of goths...

Bring yourself, a butler, many footmen, minions, picnic food (Or money to go to Tesco :), wine, other alcohol, silly park games, sunglasses, SPF 60 sun cream, umbrellas, waterproofs and your best goth togs!

I shall, of course, be there to defend my team's rounders victory of last year and to climb any trees that are in the way and definitely not skipping.


[*] If it is pissing it down with rain, then it is likely that we shall simply stay in the Nursery Tavern for the duration, so come there instead.

4:09 pm - Today's Idea for a TV series...
A cross between 24 and The Crystal Maze..


The President (Richard O' Brian): Now this game is a mental - you have 24 hours from when I put down the phone and it's an automatic lock-in

Jack Bauer: I'mn in some sort of warehouse, there's some crates and a door to the left.
Chloe: Jack! The terrorists may have hidden it in the crates. Check the crates Jack!
Tony Almada: Jack, can you see the crystal anywhere?
Jack Bauer: where's the crystal? I can't see the crystal! What do I do?
Jack Bauer moves the crates around a bit
Jack Bauer: How much time do I have left?
Chloe: 22 Hours!
Jack Bauer: I'm coming out! Open the Door!

President (Richard O' Brian): You've collected 2 nuclear warheads and 5 canisters of nerve gas. This gives you 30 seconds in the Crystal Dome, a Presidental Pardon and a pension.
