My 100th topic! Thought long and hard about making it a good one, but fell over, twisted my brain, and came up with this instead...

WHICH 3?

Neat idea... but I reckon you gotta dish the dirt on YOUR choices before anyone else piles in...

Mr Funny, Jenny Everywhere and blahblahfishcakes. They're the only things that would burn!

But... but...

it was Mr Funny who started the fire.

I'd just grab Lurid. It's probably him that's on fire anyway; he was moderating a post in the T3mp13 and caught his floppy poet sleeve in the candles. If I just push him in a pond everything'll be okay except if you're a fish.

Mr Funny may know how to start fires but he can't run very fast.

1. Ganesh, because ze would appreciate being saved by a bear.
2. Sekhmet, because Texans stick together.
3. Haus, to make fun of how we all run. (Flyboy would make fun of how we run from within the flaming barbelith, just to show how silly we all are.)

Now ante-up, bitches!

23:56 / 05.07.05

I grab the three closest trolls and dive further into the white-hot heart of the flames, sacrificing myself for the good of all. Now taking nominations for the victi-- er, beneficiaries of the purifying power of fire.

Take me, sentimentity. Technically, it wouldn't be "suicide", would it?

Mr Funny cannot be harmed by fire.

YOu know this.

Fools.

Tryphena Absent

00:55 / 06.07.05

Look if you're grabbing the other stuff you might as well grab Mr Funny as well. He likes to be held and he doesn't like his immunity talked about in that way. He just wants us to treat him normally.

1) I'd grab Bear, because he's got all of the wrasslin tapes.
2) Finderwolf, because I have a fondness for the unabashed fanboyishness and love for silly comics.
3) Bitchiekittie, because she would have grabbed all the toys and fun things so that we could play while it all burns down.

Mr Funny's my friend, and he's got a box of matches.. Heheheee......

1 - Tom Coates. He's the only one who can save it, you fools!

2 - Ganesh. He's the only one that can keep us sane while Tom fixes it.

3 - Morpheus. He's the only one that can keep the polar bears from ass-fucking us while we wait.

'Simportant, ya know.

Hello? *cough* Anybody there? *cough cough* I'm getting kind of lightheaded. *cough cough COUGH* Say, that's a pretty kind of orange.

*THUD*

05:50 / 06.07.05

Sorry. I'd save you but I already sacrificed myself in what I now realize was a misguided and essentially self-centered endeavor. I hope in my next incarnation I achieve greater wisdom.

Nobody's Girl, Loomis and Ariadne. I would take Tom TT, too, but I am safe in the knowledge that with his colossal Cola intake, he has enough fluid to douse any threatening flames, and the Dance Dance skills to be able to dodge any falling beams of burning SQL errors.

I'm getting the last three new members out. We newcomers need to stick together.

Think of the newbies, oh won't someone think of the newbies!?!

Coates must be protected at all costs!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:57 / 06.07.05

Well, it'd have to be Tom and Denfeld... who'd be third?
Maybe I could cheat and get Haus when he was mind-melded with Ganesh, a kind of "two-for-one" deal.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:57 / 06.07.05

Except I'm probably legally contracted to take mono as the third. Sorry, Ganaus.

Barbelith. I would never let you burn. Do not worry about such things.

After dicovering that Haus is my father, I drag his hulking, black form, now more machine than man, through the carnage. We pause and he asks me to remove his helmet. I gaze for the first and last time upon his human face before running for the docking bay and abandoning Haus' body to the flames.

Cube, you'd need a forklift to shift me at this point! I have become the immovable object.

Barbelith is on fire? I told you to be careful with those ass-candles.

"Think of the newbies, oh won't someone think of the newbies!?!"

I prefer the term 'newlings'

14:09 / 06.07.05

I like "New-breeds". As in, "Dig the new breed or they'll make you dig your own grave" (or cremate you, of course; whatever's quicker and easier).

14:30 / 06.07.05

If I was to grab three people, and each of those people had grabbed their own three other people, and each of those three had grabbed their own three, and each of those three had grabbed their own three...

Benny the Ball

14:40 / 06.07.05

ah you'd think that but....

I have an image of the aftermath being like the close of the The Thing, Haus, Tom and Ganesh sitting aound the burning remains alone, in the dark...

Ganesh :What do we do now?

Haus: I don't know...

Tom: Maybe we should just sit here a while, see what happens.

Olulabelle

So...it appears from this thread that basically it's only potentially possible for you to burn if you sit and wait to see who will rescue you, rather than start picking people to rescue for yourself.

The pro-active response as champion?

BTW, Currently no-one's got Xoc so Ganesh will be worse than useless round the fire.

Apart from all the people I know IRL because that goes without saying, of the posters whom I have never met but would sorely miss if they were crisped in the blaze, I would pick:

Saveloy - for his juicy goodness, peculiar mind and spanky wit.

Sax - because if I suck up to him enough it might help my writing career : P ... and because the board wouldn't be the same without him.

Qalyn - because he isn't around much any more (that I know of - name changes are the very devil) and I thoroughly enjoyed his posts when he was. Also I'd have to save a US Barbeloid to keep the "special relationship" alive.
