https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/507431118/barack-panther-t-shirt Well, that explains a few things...

Our next Kickstarter T-Shirt is ORIGINAL TRILOGY: Est. 1977. True Jedis know true quality. It is elegant apparel for a more civilized age. Wear. Or wear not. There is no try on. You can't strike a true original down, for it will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. The Force of original fashion will be with you. Always. Some may call you a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder, but when it comes to a true original, they say, "I love it." We know. When this shirt you wear, the last word in fashion you will be. Fashion Force will run strong in you with this. Pass on what you have learned. Frills. Hmph. Excess. A Jedi craves not these things. This shirt may not look like much to some, but it's got it where it counts, kid. I'm in for one right now, but may add another, because this one is... just right...

The People at Antarctic Press is at it again... May the Farce be with them in their endeavor of creating cool T-shirts... Hurry up to pledge, there's only 4 days left.

So some avid fans with too much time on their hands have covered the entire Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album as a retelling of Star Wars' A New Hope. Each track is more ingenious than the next. This surely wins the internet for 2017:

This is Just to Say I have painted the gnolls that were in the side bin and which you were probably saving for Gen Con Forgive me they were so vicious full armed and so cute

((Note, I started this a long time ago, and never finished but promised I would. I'm not finished yet, but my mad cackling needs an outlet. If you want to see the original, do a search for "Let the madness begin" with me as the author, or just click here. This is all intended as fun and humor. I hope you enjoy. )) THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW A SCREENPLAY BY JIM SHARMAN AND RICHARD O'BRIEN Adapted from "The Rocky Horror Show" a musical with Book, Music & Lyrics by Richard O'Brien THE REAPER MINI PICTURE SHOW ADAPTATION BY ARYANUN (Note: No minis, forum members, sculptors, or ReaperPeeps were harmed in the making of this script... just heavily mocked.) ----- THE FIRST IMAGE IS A SET OF RED VELVET CINEMA CURTAINS Soft Drum-Roll. THEY SPLIT OPTICALLY TO REVEAL THE REAPER LOGO. A group of painted 10033: Mouseling Heroes (10) stumble across the screen, sparring with each other wielding random bits from 03032: Musical Instruments (12) Various. As they reach the center of the screen the Mouselings freeze and stare out at the audience, giggle, and raise up the instruments to play a fanfare. A SMALL WHITE SCREEN - ACADEMY SIZE - APPEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WIDE-SCREEN FORMAT On the sides of the image are stationary sprocket holes of celluloid. REAPER MINI DOUBLE FEATURE * Musical Introduction. The Mouselings, now holding Reaper Pro paintbrushes, scamper back across the screen, chased by a paint spattered 24590: Tiger.

CHAPTER XVI The rocket shuddered as the flare behind, even at distance, buffeted the small craft to and fro. Dr. Bedlam glanced around the cockpit; though rivets shivered and struts groaned, the vessel still seemed to hold together. Stretching out a tanned, muscular arm, he drew back the throttle, decreasing fuel flow to the overworked engines; in response, the rocket slowed slightly in its passage through the luminiferous ether. He'd made it! But Dr. Bedlam allowed himself no self-congratulations; the job was not yet done. His tanned, muscular chest still ached, and his tanned, muscular back still bore the marks of the whips of the Voodoo Virgins of the Vengeance Vector! He had allowed himself to be cozened once, and the inhabitants of the planet Gorkulon had paid with their lives. He would not be fooled again! Luck had been with him once, but even he dared not count on such when the fate of the Galaxy was at stake! The Voodoo Virgins would stop at nothing to dominate the Sagittarius Arm, and Dr. Bedlam knew that although the Galaxy Bureau of Investigation was clever and mighty, the wiles of the Voodoo Queen, Squeema, and her hypnotic powers of seduction would catch them unawares. Unless he, Dr. Bedlam, were to get there first... and warn them! Suddenly, a flicker of light on the Omniscioscope caught Dr. Bedlam's attention. "Eh?" he said to himself. "There's no way they could have caught up yet -- unless..." A blip of light appeared on the hemispherical screen. Before his tanned, muscular eyes, it seemed to grow... and grow ... and GROW... TO BE CONTINUED!

I'm sure most of you have seen those misogynistic "male gamers only!" ads for various online video games such as "Wartune" - clumsy RTS rip offs that pander to the lowest common denominator with their marketing. Or... are they? Perhaps there's a deeper, darker reason they want men only to play their game? Perhaps it's not pandering but... a warning? I got a giggle out of this when it came up on another forum, so I thought I would share (in the manner of our peoples).
