]x x xx x x xx x x xx x x x [QUOTE=Left Hand of Dorkness] I was sure that **Daphne** had his quirk awhile ago (she asked him what his favorite color was, or something). Maybe she just forgot? Daniel [/QUOTE] Yeah, I thought she was onto him then – but it seemed like she had something else in mind that his post disproved. They need to start getting it together – the clock is ticking. ---

/ / / / / I’ll admit I made that last post for fun, so I don’t mind if you disallow it, but I’m pretty sure it’s fair game. Here’s my attempt to reason it away: The word “post” has multiple meanings. In the main thread, I didn’t use it to mean “posting on a bulletin board”, but as another word for a wooden or metal stake, as in a fencepost or signpost. The term “post” comes from Old English _post_, which comes from the Old French _post_. The meaning and spelling both stay the same, so I contend that it’s legitimate. ---

There once was a man from Nantucket with a huge - oops, out of room. 😃 In any event, huh… I wonder where **Daphne’s** theory about my quirk necessitating some kind of repetition came from. ---

bbv b vbbvv vbv bv vb vvbvbvbvbvb bbv vbvbvbv bvb vbvb vb vbv bv \*\* Omi\*\*, I seem to remember _somebody_ who happened to repeat the host’s words back to them once or twice… not sure who. But it was only a couple of times. Hmmmm, **twicks** forgot to PM me the list of quirks. I think I’ll simply put those still standing on their honor not to push the envelope here in the eleventh hour. I have every confidence in you, blah blah… all pull together as a team, yadda etc. ::waves wand:: So Be It. ping! ---

I’m just an observer but I’ve been reading that other thread. Pretty interesting game. Reminds me of Who’s Line. Anyway I think I’ve figured out Omi No Kami’s quirk. I think it has something to do with those infomercials with the will it blend guy. But I haven’t read the whole thread yet.
