You're such a git. Waving around the word "polyhedral" like you patented the
term or something. How pretentious can you get? Why don't you talk like a
real person and say 20-sided dice so people actually know what you mean?
...Wait, that's not quite where you were going with that, was it?
Zobovor...
If it means getting even half the number of women Hooks seems to get, I
doubt Sipher will complain :)
Besides, he'll just be resurrected in a few months as a TM2 anyway.

D&D uses 6 types of dice.
With multiple sides to each type.
And Polyhedral IS the correct term.
Some systems only use 1 type of dice.
So sorry I dont wanna talk in simple brainless netspeak.

Dinobot has spoken.
"My rigid grill structure is bearing down on your unprotected cargo
door."--Tom Servo
However, many people only remembered as far as the "grill structure"
bit, and putting the two sentences together, it sounded like he was
pretending Dinobot himself was saying it. So a whole bizarre running
gag started up around Dinobot's rigid grill structure, culminating in
someone getting Scott McNeill to say the line in Dinobot's voice at
BC98. I had the distinct honor of explaining to him just what the hell
the joke was after the panel. :-)
Unfortunately, I never got to do the same for Ian Corlett and the "I
like pie!" line. Just as well; I'm still not sure of the exact origin
of that anyway. I *think* it just began as a joke by Hooks to
typify/exaggerate Cheetor's boyish idiocy for WWFF-type humor, but I'm
not certain.

IIRC, there was an extra on a Japanese BW laser disk that had profiles of the
Maximals. It listed Cheetor as liking pie /:) That is, if my memory isn't
failing me... :) Oh well!

That's about right. It was just a line that Hooks put in the first
WWFF. It may or may not have come from somewhere, but we'll probably
never know, since Hooks himself doesn't remember. I'm glad someone
explained to Mr. McNeil what the rigid grill structure line meant, as he
appeared a bit taken back by it. I don't suppose anyone's explained
"hungry" TALK FOR YOU to him as well? :)

shuttle ride with them after BotCon. :)

It came from the MG-Dinobot fic, Dinobot's Old Technology. When we
discovered it, we put it in one of our fics and it's been an inside joke
ever since.
For the record, we think it actually means "angrily" SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!

Ah, good, at least SOMEone managed to do so. Did they have any suitable

I figured it was the least I could do. :-)

Had I been around when someone got him to say that, I'd have done so,
but I wasn't. :-S

Well, the comic book magazine Wizard used "I like pie" as a running gag
several years ago after a reader used that line in a letter. I always
figured that comic geek Hooks just picked it up from there :)
Well, you could ask Dalmatian (when he gets over his computer problems)
or Superspy, who were they also, but to me they just seems kind of
"okaaaaaay, weird fan tradition *shrug*" about it. Though they were
happy to finally know what it meant. I guess Ian was asked to write it
many times.

That's a definite possibility. On the other hand, I was watching Ned &
Stacey (stop laughing) on USA yesterday and a character said, "I like
pie" while flustered, and I think that show is older than Wizard's gag.
Frankly, I'd rather assume Hooks quoted Hitler than Wizard, so this may
just be wishful thinking.
So where did "I like pie" come from? The world may never know.
Or maybe Prime said it right before he turned to dust in the movie,
while transforming a blue Bluestreak.

Duo, I believe you've missed the joke completely. You said that you didn't
want to get into a flame war unless it had to do with polyhedral dice, so I
obliged you by flaming you about the usage of the term "polyhedral dice." :)
Zobovor... Maybe I really *am* being far too subtle lately... What, are you
all a bunch of Predacons or something?

Haven't actually moved yet, but I do now have a place to live in

It would have been SO nice to have had a place in advance, with people
there to meet the movers. As it stands, it could be up to three weeks before
I get the rest of my stuff. Although some of that delay is from the fact
that A) the movers want cash, B) my first month's rent had to be a check, not
credit card, and C) Bank One is not really a national bank, and I can't
deposit the graduation present money my parents sent to help with A) into any
branch here in Michigan, so I have to wait for the check to mail to Ohio and
clear there. Sigh. So I can't even hope to be able to pay the movers until
Wednesday or Thursday.
Dave Van Domelen, still on web-hiatus for a while. No Wal-Marts within
15 miles of here, only one TRU on the other end of town, but plenty of Meijer
and Target, and a few Kay Bees.
Somehow I believe subtlety would be lost on the Zobocons.

Rikard Bakke - Nice to see you back, incidentally. :)
I have one person lined up to meet the movers. That person, who is me,
should get there the same time as the movers, who are also me.
