    I have a ton of the classic books and authors in the Sci fi genre. Who is the best author and what 4 books/stories are essential/definitive. If you taught the subject you'd have to mention......

    I started out reading sci fi then wandered off into the fantasy, sword and sorcery and H.P.Lovecraft. Edgar Allan Poe world-s. So there sets all those unread sci fi books. I am talking about the older stuff, the classic authors.

    Sounds fascinating. Since you mention wandering into the fantasy sword and sorcery genre have you ever considered LARPing? I know it's off topic but I think with your background you would be an awesome addition to my group.

    Put that other thread aside and really think about it. I mean... "Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane."

    I have never read/heard the term...LARPing. Help!

    Just so you know, on my threads I don't care about topic. Whatever is cool with me.

    OK cool. LARPing is Live Action Role Playing. My group is medieval themed but there are tons of others. There are Star Trek themed, Avatar, Zombie, Resident Evil, etc. etc. Just depends on what you are into.

    Of course there are online games that you could play but there is nothing like hanging out with actual people and creating a character from books you've read.

    That sounds like it would be a lot of fun since everyone would be well schooled about just who their character was. So who are you? The Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur....right?

    I'd be more into the wandering hulk with sword in hand like...

    Thongor
    Kothar
    Kane
    Brak
    Kyrik
    Conan
    etc etc etc.

    As we know those cats are the strong silent type.

    Seriously, you would be terrible at this. LARP requires some modi of human decency and being able to interact with others. All kidding aside, there isn't a group that would take you in.

    You're the kind of person that would weight your LARP weapon. I can see you taking it too seriously and trying to hurt someone.

    I don't take things too seriously I just don't spend all my time trying to look like a clown. I also have enought sense to know "NOBODY" pays any attention to "I ed your mama" on the internet. We all realize kids play on computers so why you "STILL" play that...???? It's stupid dude, it's not what you're saying is that you are still saying it. Don't you know any better? I'm dead serious...GROW UP!

    Hi Bozo. When I was little, we used to visit my grand parents in Little Rock. The local station there actually carried your show and I'd watch it every day.

    I get it, you don't like LARP. It's not for everyone but that doesn't mean everyone has to share your views.

    Yes, ok I have played a troll character when I first started out but since then I have advanced to Knighthood.

    no way am I clicking on your porn links
    So out of touch with reality aren't you? Not a clue how to conduct yourself around others

    Here ya go moron...

    Lon Chaney did one movie where he played a clown, it's one of the famous clowns of all time. That's where the link takes you.

    Porn...doesn't interest me at all. More funny than anything else, if you're some kid in need.

    For real, dude? Porn? I get the draw of it I guess but isn't that for people who can't, or have not experienced, the real thing?

    There comes a time when you just have to grow out of that stuff.

    Yeah, well...I call bull on your "advancement". My guess is that is was self appointed rather than actually putting in the time and earning it. Hey look at me, I'm a knight.

    Say what you will about LARP but it beats sitting around and doing weed and shooting each other.
