I might not be online here as much in the near future. Nobody has upset me. In the winter I am pretty much housebound. When the weather is warmer and I can get out, meet people and enjoy the sunshine, I do so. I therefore spend less time online.

Q: X-Men: Why is Remy LeBeau called Gambit?

TriceratopsWhy is Remy LeBeau called Gambit? In chess, Gambit is an opening tactic, in which the player sacrifices a pawn to get a better position. However, I am not familiar with Gambit being a good chess player (or if he plays chess at all, unlike Magneto and Charles Xavier who are known to play together)...

Q: Fantasy novel involving a magic bracelet that saves a man from a fish dinner

FuzzyBootsI had a vague set of memories pop into my head earlier today. I'm pretty sure it was a fantasy novel from a series I read in my childhood (late 1980s to early 1990s). The scene I remember, I'm pretty sure it was a side character (who presumably later interacted with the main characters). He had w...

UkinoIt was on a now deleted channel with the number 7, I believe, in the logo and the title was something like "The Green Stone" or the "Blue stone". In any case the stone was green but I don't remember if there was a reason it was that color.
