Did you not see the exemption clause written into the Blinding Clothing Wearers Act 1973? I think you need to check your laws, buddy.

I love you, you love me...

That was one of the clauses repealed by SI572/2005. I'm fully up-to-date with my legal compliance.

You probably missed out on the consultation on FRED 26 which led to SSAP 57 which is the basis of SI572/2005.

I'm very flattered that you love me though Rob. You might want to hold fire on that reciprocative judgement though.

Did the Barney mod for Doom turn up OK and have you been able to use it?

Wow, Mick McCarthys just been given the sack. What the **** was the point in that, we've got 10 games left with no hope of survival. Should've been done a few months back. Sorry, I know no one else here gives a shit, just thought I'd bitch a little.

That law was cancelled after everyone who was too lazy to get a license for the Master Plan(TM) used it.

Only if we actually show them. Usually it's enough torture to just threaten to show them.

It's nice to know they got a "licencse", but couldn't they have got a licence/license instead?

Barney makes me think only of this dreadful song:
#I love you,
you love me,
we are one big family,
with a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you,
won't you say you love me too?#

AD&D Monster Manual IV

Barney

================================================== =======================


CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Nine Hells, Gehenna, Hades, The Abyss, PBS
FREQUENCY: Very rare or daily at 4 pm
ORGANIZATION: Solitary
ACTIVITY CYCLE: Day
DIET: Little children's minds
INTELLIGENCE: Insipid (-12)
TREASURE: Merchandising contracts
ALIGNMENT: Purple evil
------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO. APPEARING: 1 (may be attended by 1-100 Barney zombies, see below)
ARMOR CLASS: 10 (big and plush)
MOVEMENT: 3
HIT DICE: 8
THAC0: 12
NO. OF ATTACKS: 2
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 1-10 (x2)
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Hug (damage 3-30)
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Aura of intolerable idiocy
MAGIC RESISTANCE: 90%
SIZE: L (8' tall)
MORALE: Stupid (30)
XP VALUE: 4,000


Barney is a demon from the lower planes, a great purple and plush deformed
dinosaur. It is the enemy of intelligent lifeforms, eternally seeking out
small children and feeding on their natural intelligence and curiousity.

Combat: Barney will normally attack with it's two great paws, each
inflicting
1-20 points of damage. If a victim is struck with either paw and fails a
saving throw versus paralyzation, they are dragged to Barney and may be hugged
next round. A hug inflicts 3-30 points of damage each round until the victim
or Barney is killed.
Barney may also utter a 'Power word I love you' once every three rounds.
Any adults hearing the power word must save versus spells or flee in terror
for 1-6 rounds. Any child hearing the power word must save versus spells or
be controlled by Barney. He or she will thereafter follow Barney's commands
with a delightful smile, and is subject to continued brainwashing. Each
day that a child is in Barney's control they may be taught another lesson by
Barney, decreasing their intelligence and wisdom by 1. When either stat
reaches zero, the child becomes a mindless Barney zombie! Barney zombies
follow his commands with love and a delightful smile, and eagerly spend gold
coins on Barney merchandise.
Barney is constantly surrounded by an aura of intolerable idiocy. Any
individual within 20' must save versus spells once per round or lose 1 point
of intelligence. When intelligence reaches zero, the victim falls to the
ground in a quivering, gibbering wreck. Intelligence may be regained at the
rate of 1 point per day afterwards. In addition, the aura tends to make
spells go awry, tactics to fail, and mundane items to become intelligent
with their own insipid personalities.

Habitat/Society: Barney resides in a great temple and television studio on
the lowest plane of the Abyss, with areas extending into every lower plane
and prime material plane via transdimensional gates. He is constantly
surrounded there by 1-100 Barney zombies clutching plush dolls and lollipops,
which they may use as +2 maces in combat.

Ecology: You're kidding, right?

Also give Huz 100 points. Yeah, the 2nd series was pretty pants, although I liked the Crash! Bang! Wallop! What a video!

Like the sacking of Mick McCarthy my friend, that time was long ago, and killing it now is both futile and desperate.
