Alphabet Soup - Game

[Sanjuro]

Don't count on my vote. Maybe you could start that game in another thread.

[Lxndr]

Everybody knows their alphabet backwards, right?

[Corrupt Shadow]

Forget it, Sanjuro. Ryme's already stated that one thread like this is enough.

[AldenteVonTino]

Great Caesar's Ghost! This thread is taking on a life of it's own! (And you should read the first post of this thread again, too!)

[Lxndr]

Hey, no fair accusing us of not reading the post when your edited amendment had not yet been applied!

[Lxndr]

Just remember the rest of that quote, and you're golden.

[AldenteVonTino]

"Knife-wounds heal, but a tongue wound festers." (Another wise quote!)

[Lxndr]

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." - Robert Frost

[Harry Dresden]

"Make my day." - Harry Callahan

[Corrupt Shadow]

No more quotes, lazy people!

[Lxndr]

"Often, what we ask for is not what we receive." - Lxndr

Question: Which is better -- Star Wars or Star Trek?

[Lxndr]

Really, it depends. Star Trek produced better filmic productions (movies, tv shows) but Star Wars produced better textual productions (books).

[AldenteVonTino]

Star Wars vs Star Trek? The BOTH begin with "S"!

[Sanjuro]

That's a tough one, but in the end, I like Star Trek better. It's hard to say why.

[Cristiona]

Unreasonable fascination with techno-babble?

[Corrupt Shadow]

VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

[Lxndr]

Well, sure, change the subject just as it's getting good...

[Lxndr]

You mean like the GURPS: Aliens creature, or the creature from the movie Alien, or are you really interested in geology?

[Sanjuro]

Zoology, wasn't it?

[zillow]

And thats a wrap.

[Lxndr]

But I do want to point out that 'xenomorph' is a geological term.

[Sanjuro]

Don't derail the conversation, Zillow. It was starting to get interesting.

[Strlikecrazy]

Extend the conversation!

[Lxndr]

For Shikao: A xenomorph is a rock structure; it's part of petrology, which is part of geology. Here, let me quote wikipedia:

A xenomorph (also: allotriomorph) is a mineral that did not develop its otherwise typical external crystal form because of late crystallization between earlier formed crystals. Xenomorphs are typical of matrix minerals in rapidly crystallizing volcanic lavas and shallow igneous intrusions. It is also typical of the interstitial or cementing minerals formed during the diagenesis of sedimentary rocks. The opposite is an idiomorph in which the external form is controlled only by the internal crystal structure.

[Cristiona]

Granted, but it's also the name of the alien from the Alien franchise.

[Lxndr]

However, he *did* ask what it meant in geology; I felt it was my duty to answer.

[Corrupt Shadow]

I'm totally lost as to what the actual topic is.

[Lxndr]

Just go with the flow, man. Go with the flow.

[Corrupt Shadow]

Kinda hard to add to a conversation when one has no idea what's going on.

[Lxndr]

Let it be. Just respond to what is before you, and 'say yes'.

[Harry Dresden]

Maybe you guys should talk about something else. TV shows, movies, books, whatever.

[Corrupt Shadow]

Nah--it keeps getting sidetracked when someone comes up with a difficult letter.

[Lxndr]

Of course, that's half the fun. If there were a topic we had to adhere to, it'd be a different kind of game.

[Strlikecrazy]

Positronic

[Corrupt Shadow]

Quite an odd post there, bud!
