THE PACK Message Boards

Reuters just ran a story that took note of the fact that two Russian banks just laid off almost 6,000 workers between them. Some experts are estimating that total Russian debt (not just sovereign debt, but private and corporate debt too) may exceed half a trillion dollars -- and almost all of it is ...

I wonder if they're thinking about getting a new agent right about now? :D On a slight aside: I read something the other day about North Korea I thought funny. There is a North Korean phenomenon I like to call the "Eric Cartman Theme Park" store. Namely, department stores in Pyongyang have...

There was this point where they asked if the candidates thought ISIL was an ideological threat or a military one -- and Ted Cruz (I think) instead launches into describing some sort of faith-based social thing he has going on in Texas.

So like, did anyone catch the Republican debate? For the record, I did not, but I caught the "highlights" afterward. Did Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio actually sound as crazy in the debate as they did in the soundbites?

I agree, though I'd still keep a low profile for a while.

Dude, where do you find this stuff?

My neighbourhood is the only direct threat I've personally known in my life... What about The Mall? :) What exactly is the threat that The Discovery Channel poses? Other than people having a negative reaction to finding out. Exactly that: Even if something weird happens and half the town hears abou...

Reuters had a great article online about how the Israelis' attempts to undermine Obama politically (they preferred the Republicans at the time) jumpstarted the nuclear deal that's in the news now (which the Israelis hate ). I love watching the Israelis fall flat on their faces politically. What a bu...

I tend to agree that the "lynching people" issue isn't something that's going to become a problem without something more extreme happening. That, however, is why I hold the Discovery Channel showing up as the biggest threat. They're out to sell air-time, and with these paranormal-reality-T...

...what are the police supposed to do? Pull off precious policing resources to go after some cryptoid that hasn't been linked to any crime? (Quite the opposite in this case) That's the only reason they'll look at foot prints. Case closed... Which is why I'm still pushing the Discovery Channel showi...

Still on the air. Welcome back packmate.

...But I wouldn't exactly be concerned about them expanding their search to include new areas either... Unless of course, people have been finding your huge paw prints all over the area for months or years now. If previously the reaction was "Huh. That's a really big paw print. I wonder what m...

Simpler solution: Don't wear pants -- Discovery Channel won't let them show that sort of smut on TV.

A genuinely serious team of well-trained investigators commissioned by a media sponsor like Discovery ... So -- Um -- Like, you've actually seen the ghost-hunters programs before, right? :eyebrow: Anyway, regardless of whether the "paranormal investigators" (infotainment cast) are actuall...

Hey what are the chances they(familiy) or someone else would camp there for a month and hope too see you? Them? Not much. The TV crew from the Discovery Channel videotaping the "paranormal investigators" (invariably shot entirely with green-hued starlight scopes)? :splinterwolf: Pretty da...

I agree. Although, I'd probably find a completely different stretch of dark forest to lope around in hybrid form for a while afterwards, far, far away from the crash site. I'd also add that although the no-one-is-going-to-believe-them is still the biggest factor, I would also hopefully include the f...

Well, it looks like it's official. BP will pay a little less than 19 billion dollars. Less than half of the 45 billion they were supposed to get fined. On the up-side, it (probably) won't go through the litigation-hell that the Exxon Valdez disaster did. While not exactly chump-change, the $19B prob...

but i kinda think vampires are more in troubles becouse all Twilight fans will be in line and you do not want them gain vampirism becouse last thing vampires need is crazy Twilight fans with vampirism Heh. Yeah, especially if they find out that vampires aren't necessarily underwear-model-sexy and s...

Putin is back at it again, apparently. He went to Italy to try to poison the well there, and when that didn't work, he went across the street to the Vatican to try to get the Pope to bring some pressure on the Italians. The photos from that meeting are almost comical -- Putin almost couldn't look an...

Whew, I got worried for a couple of days there. Kudos to whoever got us back up.

Might not be the same person, but the Nyx that was on this board hasn't been seen around here in over three years. Sorry.

For some reason, that thing reminds me of the G.I. Joe action figures from the 80s.

Whew! I go off to do Navy stuff for two weeks, and look at what I miss. I sense something awesome...

Uniform and how will you go for the throat, becouse bear will not stay still... :? Um -- the same way that normal wolves do? ...and lets say you heal three times faster than normal human? Well, if that's how fast your werewolf "regenerates", then it's not really what I think of as "r...

With a rifle from very far away -- like any sane person... :D But assuming the more traditional weapons of the werewolf, going for the throat (as in literally) makes the most sense. I reiterate my earlier post: Regeneration is the major factor here. If you're a werewolf with regeneration, you have g...
