(...) Dude, I hate to break it to you, but Cap doesn't just hide behind that sheild like a shirking violet. He has been known to (gasp) hit people with it- even throw it at them! That's really no less violent than X-Men. (...) Unfortunately, the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Cool, thanks. (...) My primary criterion is pain. There is a bunch of more aesthetic than logical stuff coloring what I think is OK to eat, but pain is the big thing.

(...) It is indeed a thinking man's game. "I think I'll have another beer and sing another bawdy dirge." ;) Actually, we had a rugby team in college (in the US, no less!) that included quite a few of the honors students and, notably, the captain was (...)
