Have worked in various bank facilities; can confirm. The vault is put in place first, then the building built around it.

Perhaps more of a terrifyingly accurate, what have we done? type grin.

I <3 Neil Gaiman…

Effective.

I remember David Duchovny claiming he tried to go on some X Files message boards, back in the day. But this was before image uploads were a common feature, and there was nothing he could state to prove himself which any fan wouldn’t have also known.

Probably, anyway.

I know (or believe) Mitch Pileggi was cruising some of the AOL message boards back in the day. I’d written a defense of the character in reply to someone snarking on Skinner, and got a “thank you” email in reply… from him. He was using a generic user name, so I have no proof it was him, but according to others on that board, it wasn’t the first time the actor had done that. It made my day! Somewhere I think I still have a printout of his reply. And to this day, I’m a fan of his. I’ve watched some real stinkers just to see him act. He seems like one of the nice ones.

_{And just maybe because he’s so easy on the eyes…}

That’s so cool! And agreed about the aesthetics.

These are some good points!

I remember on usenet, perhaps one of the cult movies newsgroups, someone posted that Bruce Campbell didn’t seem to get enough work, and he apparently posted a response saying, don’t worry about me, I make a goooood living. Can’t be certain it was him, of course, but we wanted to believe.

But what about John Titor?

…must…not…be…pedant…

It was around the end of the year/beginning of the next that things hit their most grim for most of the party. It all depends on where that story goes from there.

nimelennar · December 3, 2018, 12:59am

That’s not what I’m trying to resist being pedantic about.

The reindeer’s name comes from the German for “thunder,” just as Blitzen is German for “lightning.”

Edit to add:

…and it looks like I failed my will roll.

Nonentity · December 3, 2018, 1:00am

Ah.

Well, maybe that’s just the sanitized version.

Remember when Johnny Depp trolled That Other Place?

It was here:

But his posts have been deleted. Someone tell me I’m not crazy.
