    For as cool as it would be, it would have little effect in the long run. You know as well as I do, the slow blade pierces the shield...

    Oh no purple, I am Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen all the way! I have even been known to strip down to my spiked leather underwear before bouts and prance around shouting "I will kill him, I will!" to my adoring fans. And you know you love every minute of it!

    Here I am warming up a few NAC's ago:

    Ah yes....as Sting himself described his character..."evil, with a large jockstrap."

    A pity the book was butchered so much.

    Just out of curiosity....
    What would happen if you put the Flux Capacitor in the TARDIS and let Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen loose with it?

    The stuffed bunny strapped on your head doesn't make this as threatening as you make it out to be.

    They'd all counteract themselves and Feyd would come out of the TARDIS as a Pretty Pretty Pony!

    I expect that some time back a very blue-eyed Sting will eventually have had demolished a phone booth with a deloreon and somewhere, simultaniously, a cat will not un-land on it's back disturbing a butterfly and the blankie separating the holy from the holy of holies will become un-wrent somewhere in the outskirts of Flatland, where the women are strong, the men are good looking and all of the children are B rated fencers. Which is, was, and will be, just as it should be, because, above all, the spice_must_flow, McFly, the spice_must_Flow.

    It was. And as such it was both alive and dead. Which made it a Zombie Cat.
    The first to contract the plague. The bringer of the End of Days. His name was Buttons.

    That depends....which Doctor?? Pertwee....perhaps. Colin Baker...nope....no one likes him anyway.

    Why is it manifest cheating? What rule has he broken? Is this going to be some catchall "courteous and frank encounter of the bout" non-applicable generic rule, or is anything that might apply to this actually mentioned somewhere?

    Needless to say, I would immediately appeal any card (red or yellow too). (To see what happens, more than anything.)
