[QUOTE=twickster] Bzzt! I’m not seeing your quirk in play here. Post in the backstage thread if I’m missing something. [/QUOTE] [oog] Done. [/oog] ---

[QUOTE=Oredigger77] [QUOTE=Kat] 3) There are no butter knives in my cupboard. [/QUOTE] What do you plan of using for surgery implements? [/QUOTE] Oh, for that I’d use the butter knives in the silverware drawer. 😃 Although, why They call it “silverware” when there’s no silver in it is beyond me. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] I haven’t had enough to drink for that. How about some cards? We could play…Euchre, Poker, Canasta, Gin, Hearts…or even go simple and play something like War or Old Maid. (I do love a good Euchre game though!) [/QUOTE] No, thanks, but I appreciate the offer. When it comes to card games, I like Uno or Rat-A-Tat Cat. That’s it. Never was much for any others. **Daphne** , yes, you’re right. I love classical music. ---

Hey, **Antinor01** , I love playing War — put on Iggy’s “Raw Power”, light a cigarette, get the cat off the card table where he’s trying to get at those crab-filled snow peas, and let’s have at! ---

**Oredigger** , **Santo** , you guys still alive or are you hidin’ in the closet somewhere? **Kat** , in England they get around the problem you mention by calling it ‘cutlery’. Funny, huh? Oh, and, what do you have against British spelling? **Elendil’s Heir** , where’d you go to graduate school? **Dolores** , have you ever personally written to Barack? **Antinor** , I too am a huge fan of euchre. It’s like whist, but much hipper. **Otaku** , how do you display the ‘mementos’ you take? **Justin** , is there anything sci-fi or fantasy or magic-related that you aren’t keen on? [oog]Oh Great Moddess, does this mean we don’t have to guess Omi’s quirk or is the penalty having it publicly acknowledged that it doesn’t fit?[/oog] ---

A few more questions for our esteemed guests: **Drain Bead** , would you tell us a ghost story? **Left Hand of Dorkness** , can you reply to a question with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer? (Like this one!) **Otaku** , would you consider yourself to have a system of morality that you follow? ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] [oog]Oh Great Moddess, does this mean we don’t have to guess Omi’s quirk or is the penalty having it publicly acknowledged that it doesn’t fit?[/oog] [/QUOTE] The latter. I call him (sic) out, and the main upshot is that you now have additional information in the form of “the dog didn’t bark” – you can compare the vast majority of his posts, which do jibe with the quirk, with this one post that doesn’t, and see … what? ---

OK then, Most Esteemed Moddess. I will do just that. Or die trying. [oog] What time is it where you are? That’s dedication! :)[/oog] ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] OK then, Most Esteemed Moddess. I will do just that. Or die trying. [oog] What time is it where you are? That’s dedication! :)[/oog] [/QUOTE] Not quite 7 AM. I’ve got stuff to do before going “down the shore” (as we say hereabouts when we’re headed for the ocean) for a week – which, by the way, means that **brujaja** will be taking over my moddess duties later this morning. I’ll officially hand over my wand and tiara before I leave, though. ---

I get a **wand** and **tiara**? Oh, joy! And to think, I felt left out! (But then of course, **my** left is **always** out.) ---

You get to _borrow_ my wand and tiara. I will expect them both back – polished – upon my return. 😉 ---

OK fellow hosts. Project **OMI**. Go through his posts and see if you agree with me here. He seems to have to ‘quote’ from a post of a fellow guest (not in the sense of including a quote, but he is certainly repeating words from recent posts). I’m not sure how much more systematic we need to make it so I am holding back on an official guess here until we can conference. ---

Heh. My sister just called, I’m not leaving till tomorrow morning – this simplifies things incredibly. ---
