Heh. Trust Sid to come up with the really scary ideas...

The sequel to Annie, this is was an attempt at a bulletin board for fans of Terri Windling and the Border books. Now it's an archive for some amusing old conversations, and hopefully I find something new to do with it as well.

Let's see... I can think of some really bad ideas:
If I ever become a CHUD...
...Just kidding...
If I am the parent (or nanny) of the Antichrist...
...I will not ignore the fact that my child screams and goes into convulsions any time he is exposed to holy items or religious imagery. This is one of several obvious signs that you need to consider sacrificing your child for the greater good.
...I will not assume that all the bizarre and unlikely deaths occurring around me are a tragic coincidence.
...I will not assume that just because the child is female, I am safe.
If I ever develop vast psychokinetic powers...
...I will not destroy Neo-Tokyo. {g}
...I will not terrorize my high school prom. Why bother? Do you know how much money you can make with simple telekinesis? Why kill everyone when you can come to the reunion as a millionaire?
...I will not start my own cult. Strange religious movements attract entirely too much attention. Bank robbery is a much simpler alternative.
...I will not pick fights with the military. They have big guns, orbital lasers, and other nasty devices. Telekinesis may enable me to deflect a bullet, but it does not improve my reaction time.
...I will refrain from obvious uses of my power in public, especially if I have made a career of bank robbery.
Open for more suggestions...
