DE: Did it have to be Monday already?

[bjornwilde]

So not ready for an early day and definitely not ready for work. That one extra beer last night isn't helping matters either.

Anyway, less griping more entertaining. From jjprobert comes this gem (a little late but I think Wimbledon just wrapped up yes?):
It's Wimbledon fortnight. Which means, here in the UK, BBC TV is dominated by coverage of the tennis.

So, Sports: How do your pups feel about professional sports? Do they play sport at any competitive level? Do they just enjoy going for bike rides in the sun (or similar)?

Cata, Sam and Red are all from worlds where this doesn't apply (Ruby, on the other hand, is probably a die-hard Red Sox fan on principle).

Claudia gives none of the shits.

Apollo finds the Olympics distressingly clothed, these days, but is overall glad to see them revived.

Imp doesn't pay attention to what football exists on the Disc at the moment, and won't really care after it's better organised.

Quidditch puts Regulus to sleep.

...I sense a theme. XD

As for me: Never really got into pro sports, though I'll root for my formerly-local college basketball team unconditionally. I think some of my indifference to pro sports comes from Cincinnati pretty much... not having very good teams when I was growing up.
(That said, my senior year of college there was a moment where it would either be Cleveland or Boston in the World Series; I was all set to field 'you're from Ohio, right, so you're rooting for Cleveland, right?' questions - answer: No, it's Cleveland! - but Boston advanced so it was moot.)

Joshua thinks that the Warehouse should start a Quidditch team. Who they'd play...

oh god. Warehouse v. Global Dynamics.

HELP US ALL.

[minkhollow]

RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[damncompass]

*snort* Between Claud and Doug, they could probably -make- a Snitch.

Joshua: You're on, Eureka.

[mnt_raph]

I misread Global Dynamics with Veridian Dynamics.

And now want all three of those to participate in a Tri-Wizard Tournament of SCIENCE!

[damncompass]

Oh god. Help us all. *cackles*

As long as Aperture or Black Mesa don't get in on the game...

Or, really, that would be aweseome, and by awesome, I mean scary.

[mnt_raph]

...

Yup. Just cast Lem and Phil as Atlas and P-Body.
"It is time to flood the test chamber with deadly neurotoxin."
Yup. Going to hell, brb.

[damncompass]

ahahaahahha.

And now I'm imagining Warehouse solutions to deadly neurotoxin.... Oh, help us all.

James Bert Garner's prototype for the modern gas mask, probably. And possibly Garrett Morgan's first safety hood. Not sure what the Artifact curses would be, but given that Garner invented his to deal with poison gas and Morgan for firefighters, then the possibilities are varied.

[damncompass]

I... might have to steal those Artifacts if you don't mind. shifty Those are good.

I know there's at least one Artifacty gas mask in the Warehouse (background shots), but I don't think anything's been said about what it does.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Go nuts. Morgan's invention was inspired by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, so it's at least tangentially associated with something that was mentioned in the show already.

[mighty_avenger]

Would it be cheating to recruit players who can actually fly?

Asking for a friend.

[damncompass]

Joshua thinks that if he's allowed to use Artifacts for brooms, he'll allow people who can actually fly.

[1nv1nc1ble]

"Score!"
