I love these guys, particularly Pearl (yay dragons!) and Glass. I wonder what their rogues gallery would look like - I doubt the average meta would want to mess with the New Ghosts.

Re: [OZC!]The Challenge of Dawn - New Edition

Next chapter has the already-infamous Katana-pulling scene. What I find moderately odd is that Earth's spaceships open fire on him though. Granted, Phaeton's not answering hails and so on and headed straight for Earth, but still, that's a pretty hostile way to treat someone who's not actually done a...

Okay, I've probably missed out on something key here, but what exactly are these water nymphs?

Their lobster guardians would still be expecting the Spanish Inquisition, though. Actually, the Inquisition was far too busy rooting out actual dark sorcerors, vampires, werewolves and the like to bother much with the more mundane and benign supernatural.

Despite Shroom's openly-professed doubts I'm still convinced that it's a good idea to introduce the Nymph-city somewhere in the midst of the Mediterranean.

No Country For Old Men is a pretty neat piece of film, which is fairly high praise considering I tend to have allergic reactions to most movies that win Oscars by the bucketload. Still doesn't top The Big Lebowsky of course, since that Coen Bro's movie is pretty much untoppable, but it's got shades...
