For example: Lady, I love seeing that kind of enthusiasm, it's cooler than cool. Geek passion kicks ass. I've never even watched the X-Files but I love seeing your passion for it. It's like, I have huge amounts of passion for some music you've probably never heard... I'm going to see Steven Wilson live with my brother in Newcastle on the 30th of this month, I'm so fucking excited it's unreal. 2nd time seeing him live, and holy fucking shit OMFG last time was fucking incredible and this last album??? He's touring his latest stuff?! Holy fucking shit it's going to be good.

Thanks, Evie!!! [emoji1]
Yeah, I never cared one way or the other about what was 'cool.' I got picked on sometimes in high school for wearing my X-files t shirts and my alien head necklaces, but it didn't bother me. I wore them with pride, because I loved the show and I simply refused to let anyone make me feel ashamed of it! Now, almost 13 years later I still love it, and in hind sight I'm glad that I incorporated it into my identity at that time in my life despite what others might have thought. I am going to have to listen to your dude! I've never heard of him before! What are your top 3 music artists of all time?

I remember my house mate in Guam loving the X-Files in the late 90s. I never saw an episode of it until recently when I watched the whole series on Hulu. Definitely entertaining but what a bizarre universe. Every cockamamie idea from Voodoo to astrology to the government assassinating JFK and MLK to the government covering up alien encounters is real.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Wow look what I found, clearly because David Bowie died and SW was a fan:

That's why it started to turn me into an atheist :p If it treated stuff I thought was real in the exact same manner as stuff I knew was cockamamie bullshit, then maybe what I thought was real wasn't real...
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

You X-Files nerds may like a series that was on a few years ago: Fringe.
All those "cockamamie" things in a pseudo-sciency package... no aliens, though..

For those who play MTG, I have in my possession, the following combination:
Indomitable Archangel
Darksteel Plate
Whispersilk Cloak
The equipment must be attached in that order to the angel, otherwise the Darksteel Plate's ability won't work due to the shroud from the Whispersilk Cloak.
Other than forcing an exile of a permanant and /or making target player sac a permanent or creature,, what else can penetrate this nasty combo?
It is in my artifact deck, if that helps.
