Sorry--just came from the Haiku thread. The form gets embedded in my brain and won't leave. Wink

Yes... I'll have my Op with the grated Jersey, please... and I'll have some Kamal in a to-go dish, please.

I would say I'm like Hiro. I'm more of a background character who can put one of his friends in place with a well placed comment. I also have his luck (or lack of ) with women.

There's some Jersey in me, because I'm a wise guy, and I spend alot of time in front of my computer, often eating, and I'm still waiting for the girls like Jan to notice me. Laughing

Anyway, out of everybody, I can relate most to Kamal for a couple different reasons. First, I've got a bit of an idea what I want to do with my life, but I'm not ready to do it yet. I want to play around for a little while first. Then, the other big part is that I'm always chasing after the wrong girls. But then again, chasing after the wrong girls is a whole lot better than catching the wrong girls.

I've actually tried to avoid this topic for the past week, mainly because I didn't want to put the effort into it that I figured it would require at the time. Here I am, though.

I'd probably have to say that I'm similar to Rani. Not because of her Southern heritage or insane family, but mainly because she seems very quiet, shy, and reserved. She's modest and is entirely unsure of herself, despite the fact that when she's placed in situations requiring her skills she exceeds all expectations and is very well beyond capable.

Jersey. All the way. And I don't eat enough veggies, either.

Honestly... Durga.

I have always gone far far out of my way to help my friends and family.
I've always been a naturally strong leader, Intence and passive agressive personality.
Team Capitan for 2 years, 3 seasons. Looked towards for advice, and persepctive. I lead my XC, Indoor and outdoor Track teams to 2nd, 3rd, and 1st in the tristate sectional championships, and sent more than a few distance runners to the state championships.
I would drop everything I am doing to use everything at my disposal to look after one of mine.
I am Cynical. I trust no one I don't know well.
I am very capable. Sometimes, i get called a "Naturally born Maguiver". Using the reasources at my disposal, I can pull off almost any feat.
My interests can consume my focus, and I become very zealous.

Correct, though at no one's expense.

Perhaps we can make it an Internet legend...
Who wants to write a story about the origins of positronic logic pants. (where your brain really is in your pants)

Oy Nigel, check out my new positronic logic pants. Fully integrated through my crotch into my nervous system via neural axon ganglia. They respond in realtime to all external stimula. I don't have to think anymore, my pants do all the thinking for me.

POSITRONIC LOGIC PANTS

By Cherry Cotton

Once upon a time the noted scientist E. Herbert Donkensonken had a brilliant idea. "Well, Chester," he said to his dog, "it seems to me... my pants are quite stupid."

"Indeed," said Chester, the Talking Dog, "but to make them smarter, you will have to make a deal with the Devil."

He couldn't find the Devil, so he went to an insurance company. "Hello," said the noted scientist.

"Yes?" said the noted receptionist.

"I'm looking to invent positronic logic pants, and I'd like to make a deal with your CEO."

"Move along," she said.

The CEO was busy yelling at his board members. "It would seem that sales of our brand new playset, Barbie's Unthinking, Unfeeling Dumb AI Pants are really in the tank. You might say they've shrunk in the dryer. This idea... just didn't fly."

"Boo!" cried the board members.

"No, really," said the CEO, "I think we need to invent POSITRONIC LOGIC PANTS."

The board members gasped.

"You will anger the Pants God!" said the religious consultant.

"Not to worry," said the CEO. "We have the Pants God Compensator."

The Pants God Compensator, or PGC, had the ability to take the converse of any religious quandary and annihilate it using the reverse question. For instance,

"If God is supremely powerful, than couldn't he make a rock that's so heavy not even he could lift it, but then, if he's so powerful, why can't he lift it?"

the machine takes

"If rocks are so damn heavy, why can't I have a soda?"

and applies it liberally, repeating until the original question is drowned from the fabric of reality.

"Brilliant!" said the noted scientist, rushing into the room.

"Too late!" said the CEO, pulling a string and sending the scientist into a trapdoor.

The noted scientist, whose name I completely forgot, was trapped in a jail cell with only oversized, nostalgiac amoebas for companies.

"I got along so well with myself, before I split," said one pink amoeba with lipstick and a matching bag. "Now I'm half the cell I used to be."

"Ain't that the truth," said a crabby green amoeba.

"I have to get out of here!" said the noted scientist. "I need to open a hole in the fabric of reality! Jessica!"

"Yes, my dear," said the Goddess of Paradoxes and Other Notable Humdingers, descending from the other plane.

"Open a hole in the fabric of reality, would you, dear?"

"Right away," said Jessica, with a smile. "Hey! Reality! Listen up!" Jessica handed the noted scientist a cue card.

The noted scientist read aloud. "If the set of whole numbers includes zero, but the set of natural numbers--wait a minute!"

"The jig is up!" said the Universal Order Police, rising from the floor to defend the integrity of the universe. "We know you've been trafficking in paradoxes for three years now! We're going to send you away, away for a long time, to the set of all items that are not in a set!"

Jessica had tears in her eyes as she was sent away. "But... I have kids to take care of! Aleph one of them!"

The noted scientist sat in his jail cell and sighed. "It's going to be a long night," he said, falling asleep.

As he dreamt, he dreamt about the positronic logic pants. Everyone in the world, in his dream, owned positronic logic pants, except for him. He felt so naked. In fact, he was naked, so he soon was hit by a car by the Dream Censors and woke up.

"What a terrible dream!" the noted scientist said. "I had better patent my positronic logic pants--and quick!"

He had a great idea! He bribed the jail guard to let him send a fax to the patent office, which granted him the patent on "the motion of pulling ones trousers in a waistward motion, and then zipping a center attachment colloquially known as a 'fly,' thus ensuring crotch coverage for as many as 24 hours until it starts to smell." Now, nobody could wear pants without paying him money.

Fin!

(Oh, you say you have "prior art," huh? Well then! You'd better talk to my lawyer, he just looooves "prior art!" Jesus, some people...)

Um.....yeah. CEO of an insurance company making Barbie toys?
This reads like a dream, or Brazil. Either way, Cherry, seek help.
Nice mathematical references BTW. Smile

wow... why didn't i jump into this thread sooner?! i'm buying everyone PLP's for Christmas! (i can't afford designer though, so i'm going to get them at Target)

seriously though, kudos to Sean Stewart for creating characters with such great personality traits, i think we identify with each character, at least a little bit
think about the first time we met Kamal, the goofy med student trying to get a date; by the end of the saga, he's flown into a rage at Jersey over his sister, had a complex relationship with the woman of his dreams, and ultimately came to terms with his past... such a nicely rounded, fully realized character
all the characters are that good really, not a flat stereotype in the bunch (not even Jersey, who could have so easily been written into a corner, but wasn't)
