Since I was doing research on Juicy Lucys earlier for another thread on this forum, I branched out into other local cuisine treasures and stumbled upon this article. I couldn't help but be reminded of everyone's favorite gangster, Cheech from Badda Bing Badda Boom:

Cheech: I told you I wanted a cheesesteak, and I don't care if you have to go to Philadephia to get it!

I suppose I could put this into the PNQ thread, but these aren't really PNQ. I'm just a little curious about some of this early 5MV stuff.

What's up with this "transwarp bowling ball of destiny" thing?

Are there fivers that actually have the word spluck?

Where is there a Hammer of Crushing reference? I've seen Hammer of Smiting, but not Hammer of Crushing.

mudshark: A thread which has been dormant for many weeks suddenly comes back to life and promptly veers off-topic for two pages. You don't find this in any way strange.
Nate: Well, at least some things don't change, even after all these years.

Yay, someone actually does read that stuff every once in a while.

That refers to the "Endgame" fiver.

I think so. . . . Google seems to think that only one published fiver uses the word, although several of the "round-robin" events have it as well.

Off the top of my head . . . I want to say that Zeke has said that it's Smiting in the forums, and Crushing in the fivers (or maybe vice versa). There's some sort of differentiation based on context, anyhow.

That they don't.

Of course, these days, it's "dormant for many months" or "years," even.

Awesome website that I am not the maker of and actually know the owner of it, it is a work in progress though.

I can get to 43, but no higher. Some of the words are pretty damn obscure, I can tell you.

Yes. Smiting was originally my chat weapon, but I use it in the forums too. Crushing is the one that keeps changing hands aboard the NX-01; the name is a tribute to the late, lamented webcomic Pentasmal. I'd link you to an example, but alas, the comic archives remain behind Keenspot's subscription wall.

Well, whatever the "rule" is, I prefer Smiting for all purposes.

A Smite For All Seasons, as t'were?

[Nate the Great]

Yes, exactly (rolls eyes into next state).

As for Zeke, he Smite or he Smite not. (Joke blatently stolen from the excellent John DeLancie novel I, Q)
