Personally, I’m quite happy with my death ray; it was made in 1917 and it works fine - I find no compelling reason to upgrade.
I have a V-18 powered 1920’s style Death Ray.
Well, it’d be a good idea to—the directional ray-emitter doesn’t block “backwash”, if you will, causing some of the radiation intended for the target to come back at the user.
Serious indigestion is usually the main side effect of this glitch, but there are a few cases of acute, unusually sonorous flatulence as well.
I still find it funny, especially when it works its way into completely unrelated threads and somehow seems to fit. Then again, I laugh at just about anything.
“anything”
heh
That’s good.
I am still amused.
But, I don’t get it. Why is it funny to post the phrase in every nonrelated thread?
Are its lenses and stuff made of Depression Glass?
It’s not. Those who think it is should be executed with a…
ah, you get the idea.
Yeah, and let’s have less ambiguous thread titles too huh?
No, you’re thinking of the 1920’s style melancholy ray.

About eighty years, by my reckoning.
This did have potential, but if it keeps going on and on this way, it will be looked on as stupid. As it is, it needs to die down, and then it cam become a SDMB catchphrase.
All your 1920’s style death rays are belong to us!
LMAO!!!
dead? the original thread in GQ is on to its eighth page and shows no sign of stopping…
I burning the horse!
With my Demonically possessed 1920’s style “Death Ray”.
::hides the pie::
Watch where you’re pointing that thing!!
Now we have the Pro- 1920’s-style “death ray” lobby and the Anti-1920’s-style “death ray” lobby. Next thing you know, we’ll be standing across the street from each other holding up signs that say things like "If 1920’s-style “death rays” are outlawed, then only outlaws will post about 1920’2-style “death rays,” and “1920’s-style “death rays” KILL threads!” There’ll be a lot of shouting and finger pointing.
Or has it already started?
Just wait. Before this is over, the admins will be doing background checks before you can post anything about a 1920’s-style “death ray.”
I just got this. Excellent!
hrmph. I was thinking it was a “Honey, I don’t like it when you do that on my face.” thing.
And 1920s style “Death Rays” rock the house.
