Page 9!!!! Who would have thought we would end up here.

300 posts for wings.
400 posts = third arm. I always wanted a third arm.
Ooh! Page 9.
I feel different...

Dude, I don't know about this. I think we should get back to page 4 or something. We are really high up here man. I do like page 9 though. It's alot more posh than the other pages. Almost elegant in a way.

Just wait to we hit the double digits.

If we ever want to get to the golden realm of double digits, we need to stay on topic so that Yak doesn't close this up. So I think plasma guns can wound a medic. BUT. Are plasma guns one handed, or two handed?

Plasma guns are two handed. Unless the trooper burned one off. In that case they're one handed and one hooked.

Where does it say they are two handed weapons. Please put your argument in a premise/conclusion format, or I will reject you completely.

Obvious my friend. Is a guitar one handed? Is the ability to rock you one handed? Is a keyboard one handed?

The answer to all of these is no man. But the key is that you don't have to use both hands to do it. Like right now. I'm currently in the fast lane on I5 using my Ipaq. Some might say that a car is a two-handed weapon, and that my Ipaq and beer are each one-handed weapons. But yet I wield them all.

Okay I yeild on the two handed front.
I submit that Plasma Guns are instead hand held.
Glaive, that's real life. Prove that Plasma guns have cup holders or else.

yeah Glaive, stop using real world physics to prove your case!

Well, they don't have cup holders, but as modern technology has proven anything can be mounted to a hard hat and used to maximum effectiveness. If it weren't for the hats with straws that lead to dual beverage holders the game of national football would have died out years ago. The hat can even be edible and the truly innovative will go on to fill the top of the hat with a dip that the rest of the hat can be eaten with! Even Einstein couldn't do that without creating a universal paradox and sucking Minnesota into a black hole.  That one idiot in the superglue commerscial even attaches an unfinished Skyscraper to his hat.

So It stands to reason that a medic can use his single handed medi-pac, his double handed Kustom Force field, AND his hard hat mounted Plasmagun. This works perfectly, because he will almost certainly wound himself anytime he fires the weapon. So, that solves the argument right there. Even if he doesn't fire it he will certainly get beaten up by the varsity guardsmen for not being one of them. You know, one of THEM. The mindless drones that always get the chicks and are always invited to parties but secretly hate themselves. That's right! You hate yourself! You hear me! I should have been prom king! It should have been me!

YOU WERE PROM KING!

I do hate myself but not as much as I hate steamed mussels.

Hehe. I know I was prom king. That's what's great about America. The guys in school who were nerds and did things like mount plasmaguns to their hats and talk about all of the cool things Capt. Picard did the night before grew up to be the same people I ridicule and make fun of now. Only there aren't any teachers around to prevent me from putting them in a double jock lock.  Things just always naturally have a way of working themselves out in the end.  It's kind of zen-like really.

What about those guys who mounted plasma guns to thier hats but didn't talk about baldy?
I guess they're no better.
What exactly is a double jock lock?

Ohh. The greatest military invention ever devised by man!

For those who don't know. An actual jock strap is just a bannana hammock with an elastic wast band and two other elastic strips that run from the bottom of the hammock around the side of the cheeks and connect with the main elastic waist band. I've seen other types that resemble tighty whities but they fail to achieve the true humiliating look of the true jock strap.

Anyways, your average geek will be able to bend in such a way that his feet can be pushed through the side cheek runners behind his but and possibly even through the elastic waist band itself. Now a jock lock is just one foot behind. A double jock lock would be two feet behind. For the truly advanced artist the victim can then be hung by the waist band on your average gym door latch. The beuty is that even if someone is strong/dexterious enough to pull their feet out they usually can't keep the jock on at the same time. So a hard decision must be made as to whether or not to go full monty to fascilitate escape.

These are the same torture techniques other countries try to employ innefectively against our troops. Since all americans have to take gym wether or not they will choose to major in the ever intellectually challenging field of 'badmitten' they are already prepared for such torture and can easily hold out until Sgt Slaughter arrives to rescue them.

This thread needs to be locked.  As soon as bananna hammocks come up. . . . lock, and possibly. . ban.
