I admit it is outrageous. It is, however, all I ever expected from the Midlands.

I'm reminded of Shylock's speech from the Merchant Of Venice, which would be appropriate, actually. [/random Shakespeare reference]
This is haunting, eloquent. You grow up listening to stories of the Holocaust every year... the names of the camps are fixed in your memory, and the number 'six million,' but it's different like that, less tangible.
There's just something eerie about this. Definitely submit it to something.

Naomi gasped and ran back, then stared.
"Wait, you too?"
She asked, totally confused, then looked in through the open door, looking at the four agents inside, then gulping.
"Errrrrr, I take it that you got gender bent too? I swear, I have no clue what my partner did, but I remember that DORKS. Drake had it on a mission where he came back wearing very funny cloths. Makes Things said something about sue cooties or something, I don;t think he managed OT fix it before he died. We got it back, but apparently it still has problems."

This, however, is the height of stupidity. Are they saying that the plural is more accurate than the possessive? 'Cause that's what it is now. And, maybe this is just me, being raised American and all, but when I see Queens English, I think the accent and dialect associated with an area in New York City. {= P

I wrote a pretty good poem (or at least that's what everyone says it is, I still think it's a super short story) a few days ago that I'm pretty proud of. Take a look!

"DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!"
A large male stoat, bristling with anger and carrying a rapier with clear intent to use it, stalked around the corner, followed by a small slender weasel jill with a lute strapped to her back.
"I did NOT need this to happen again!" the stoat snarled. "I don't know how you did this, and I don't care! Just turn us back!"
A small fuzzy whirlwind appeared around the other corner and screeched to a halt, revealing itself to be a small ferret. "Hi, New Mama! Hi, Uncle Stormy! The nursery lady started screaming about summink and dropped me ..." He sniffed. "You look funny. Should I call you Daddy now, Mama?"
The mustelids looked at each other. "Well, at least one of us doth seem to be coping," the weasel said wryly.
"She's a Dibbun, you can hardly tell the difference anyway."

They're taking apostrophies out of street signs.
In Birmingham, "King's Cross" is being written on signs as "Kings Cross". The council made it official, after having apparently been quietly taking them out for years.

There is something inherently amusing about an 8 foot tall butch soldier with fanatical dedication being teamed up with a hyperactive anime 13 year old with a permanent sugar rush.
There is also something wrong with my l key.

Maybe an Imperial Fist or a Dark/Blood Angel, since they strike me as the most stoic of a VERY stoic lot.
And no, no terminators or dreadnaughts, barring severe injury.
I'm actually considering one as one of my PPC agents, teamed with a Genki Girl.
If I ever get permission, anyway...
It's a long way off...
PS: I'm not really sure. I will definitely need to do the research, as it's been a while since I actually thought about it.

Drake goes rushing by the door, in full harem girl outfit, giggling as she dashes by.
She is holding a rubber chicken, which changes to a teddy bear in a tutu as she runs be, followed by a male agent, wielding a backpack. “Come back here DRAKE!!! You’ve gone too far.”

that makes much sense. and could do it. although, which agent shoudl be the one who triggers the mass thing? It can be drake, if you wish.

That should give you a clue as to which canon.
I apologise for not realising the generic-ness (genericity? genericality?) of the terms when I first posted the question.

It seems to me that the halls ought to be as wide as is best for the situation. If it would be funny for the Marine (and, by the way, I know of at least three canons offhand that use that same terminology, all of which have different sizes of armor. Just saying.) to get stuck, he/she would. If it would just slow down the plot/action, he/she wouldn't.
Really, it mostly comes down to balancing the Rules of Funny, Drama, and Awesome, with the specific balance varying between different authors and stories.

I'm not sure what you mean by commendable skill though - all I did was make it a little less glowing in description of Mulhoon.
