I am sorry, but TV Tropes has an article on it. Let the life-ruinations begin.

Some good examples include Baccano!, "Pulp Fiction", A Song of Ice and Fire, Firefly (you are welcome Corrian), Red Vs Blue, and the Justice League cartoon.

Both A Song of Ice and Fire and Firefly I know

But yeah, they are pretty good examples. I think a lot of shows are good examples.

And TVTropes is like a different version of Wikipedia:P

I like to think of TV Tropes as a more self-secure and openly geekier version of "Wikipedia" that has an unified community that does not respect notability with it's own vernacular and allowing subjectivity in the right places.

Well the genie's out. Guess we all have to roll with the SECOND emergency from Antonio.

Since Burton's class has been hijacked do we get a do-over?

Other than Antonio having another fit and dictating the course of the thread at the expense of everyone else, not much.

Kershya's primary character. Apparently having him be the locus of an invasion of shadow-men wasn't enough as far as focusing on one character in particular, you know with the sudden appearnce of a shadow-dragon thingy and shadow army and whatnot.

Oh. The dude who's posts I always considered non-canon because they didn't make any sense.

You know between ATEN II attempting to circumvent MA's ruling and then this, I am severely tempted to RP in a mutiny. I mean hell if this is an anything goes sort of RP...

Apparently not. BTW unless you change your post to reflect MA's ruling, your character is retconed out of the class. Read back a page, it's been sanctioned.

I'd much prefer not.

I thought everyone would like to know that I won't be able to post as much for the next few days, getting ready to move back into a dorm for college.

Nope. Can't stomach alcohol. Super lightweight over here.
And my campus is a dry campus so we can't really do that anyways.

Not to mention drinking is unhealthy.

Yeah but it's Minnesota....wait that's not all bad, tell me you at least have embraced the cycling culture there.

... My dad runs a bicycle shop. My dad used to go on rides before I got up and would go to work right after that. I'm just going to say that that didn't leave the best impression on my love for bicycles.
So no. I do not like bicycles. I prefer to walk places. More relaxing that way.

Really? He never tried to include you in the fun?

That's sad really, sorry your perception of bicycles had to be tainted like that.

I've found a dislike of walking long distances (unless hiking) after I rode my bike more. It felt too slow to walk:P

Speaking of, I need to ride again...

I know the feeling. I was a bicycle courier for just under 4 years and I still use bicycles as a primary means of transportation along with the El train.

What's your machine of choice?

Well, it isn't like I could have kept up if I'd have gone anyways. These were easy 20-30+ mile rides. Every friggen day. Most of it was I just never found it fun.

Well who knows. I assume it was across mostly surface streets, and if he didn't expose you to other forms of riding maybe just dealing with the one kind is what did you in.

Who knows what would have happened if he would have shown you BMX racing or freestyle or mountain biking for example...

It still sucks however. Here your dad is doing something he obviously has a passion for and he doesn't even think to include his offspring even remotely.
