Honestly, I don't know why people are so up in arms about LF's avatar. I've seen worse.

MUCH worse.

Really?

Oh, wait, there was that one where I ended up getting all sorts of PMed requests to change it...  Yeah, I guess I -have- done worse.

Was it you that used to sport the Fiat Pumper? Oh man, I still have nightmares of that.

I think that I speak for all on this issue : the Fiat Pump should be banned by the Ares Convention, Safety and Practices, Good Taste, Good Homemakers, the Old Gods, the World Series of Poker, and anyone who wants a good night's sleep.

Should?

Sure, I'll give you that.  But, like my professor once said, "The law is what it is, which is almost never what it should be."

And hey, look at where we are, now!

Anyway, the Fiat Pumper is ...resting peacefully.  Well, as peacefully as anything of that nature can possibly rest.  And only I and (probably) MadCap know exactly where it is.  So, no worries on that score, man.  We're all good.

Not to mention, the calibration you have to do, just to insure your own safety would be...

...off-putting, to some.  Also, I've found that no matter how hard you try to clean it, the fiat-pumper remains sticky to the touch.  It's an odd thing, but not so odd as to render it useless under desperate circumstances.

Well, that's a shame.  How does one go about constructing his or her own Fiat Pumper?  My curiosity and willingness to experience things first-hand (first-foot? first-other-appendage?) is suffocating me and so it must not be denied!

Well, the last person I told tried to wring my neck half-way through, and, what's more, after being restrained, shot himself after I finished the explanation.  He was shouting about how he was dirty, or something...

...No, wait.  It was unclean.  He was screaming the word "Unclean," over and over.  *shrug*

More of a "her" than a "device." This just makes it all the worse.

Right, like I would allow you a secret weapon so you can takeover the Sphere, sounds like LiaoFan is really a Blake ROM.

Oh and for the win, House Kurita all the way.

The Fiat Pumper isn't a weapon, per se.  It's just a way to make sure things even out, in the end.  As for taking over the Inner Sphere, my good man, why in the world would I want the headache?  No, I'm happy just sitting here and watching.  Then again, that may just be what I -want- you to think, right?

One thing, though.  Don't call me a Blakist.  I'm a Capellan. 

We nuke Blakists.

Even if they're on our worlds.

And Bosch, the "her" that you mentioned was only -part- of the works.  It was, actually, rather ghastly business, when I think about it.

You'd think it'd scream, constantly, but it just sort of...chuckled. Not giggled, that'd be cliche, but chuckled all the time. Like it was mildly amused.

Dude, no. Showing the Fiat Pumper compassion only accelerates its effects.

Hey, there's no stopping now.  You decided to characterize the Pump with a gender and I filled in the rest of the blanks on my own.  We're past the point of no return here.

What do you mean "we"? You're the one that's about to learn a very important lesson.

No, sorry, I should rephrase that. You're the one that's about to serve as a very important lesson.

it.

Theoretically, if I somehow complete it, can I give it a gender again if I dress it up? okay, this train of thought is starting to get a little stale, I'll stop beating a dead meat horse now.



I like Cloyster.  Cloyster is my favorite Pokémon.  I wish I could jam my Rare Candies into Cloyster all day until it used WATER GUN on me.
