  1. No Atomic Weapons - what difference would it make.

    As counterforce weapons, I'd agree. But as countervalue weapons, they'd pack a very similar fear to nukes in the hearts of citizens, I think. Especially if you launched one into a city and witnessed the devastation to follow. Instead of nightmares about mushroom clouds and our faces melting...

  2. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    I think if newspapers are going to publish an extra, it'll be the morning that WW3 starts. My guess is that once news of the first nuclear detonation hits the wires, everyone's going to be neck deep in their contingency plans. Putting together an extra, getting it printed and then distributed...

  3. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    Florida Man is impervious to radiation, and his leathery, beer-infused skin can withstand even direct blast exposure. He'll be fine.

  4. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    So long as there's a plan in place to preserve Spiro Agnew's body

  5. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    I think I've made this point somewhere on the board, maybe even on this thread, but for as transcendent as the original P&S was, it was written through a distinctly British lens. I think Macragge even said the original plan for updating readers on the U.S. was to have a character dismiss it as a...

  6. How should 1983 Doomsday have gone

    Maybe they don't get many if any direct nuclear effects but import-dependent places, particularly figurative or literal islands, will be hating life in a hurry as their shipments immediately cease. Reunion Island will probably never see a mushroom cloud or enemy battleship, even from a far...

  7. Calvin and Hobbes animated

    The only comics that translate well to TV are, for lack of a better term, the easier-to-digest ones. Garfield wasn't especially deep and that works for TV. Dilbert and Baby Blues, even though they were built on simple, relatable premises, ended up drifting well away from their bases and they...

  8. The Rise of the Dragon: An Altered History of the World Wrestling Federation

    Maybe he's killing Colon. Or Invader 1. Or Tony Atlas. My guess is he worded it that way to deliver THE ULTIMATE SWERVE! (of the week)

  9. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    I wonder how fans are reacting to Triple H here. Do they give him the sympathy pop for losing a close friend and having another's career end? Or do they get that out of their system early? Does he react to it, or does he just do a "you people didn't care about me and Scott before, why the hell...

  10. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    From what I've read of the P&Sverse, that's a moving target that changes a bit with every itineration. The original P&S focused on England and I believe the author ginned up a list of American targets to sate the curiosity of his American readers, but it was far from comprehensive (and for good...

  11. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    This is a good TL that I've been following from jump street. One suggestion, if I may: Would it be possible to include to recap the stretches between PPVs? Not blow-by-blow Raw and Nitro recaps, of course, but maybe a little synopsis that hits on the biggest events from TV (debuts, face/heel...

  12. The Rise of the Dragon: An Altered History of the World Wrestling Federation

    Crockett may have made some dubious decisions that accelerated his departure from pro wrestling, but outright releasing Sting immediately after an injury seems like a bad call even by his standards. Especially with three viable domestic landing spots for him. Possible explanations: 1. The...

  13. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    I could see it going a good bit higher, because a) we haven't established what their WM payouts were, and b) I would imagine there's going to be punitive damages. If McMahon tried to breach contract without a viable reason why, the court might be tempted to teach him a lesson. Because I'm Vince...

  14. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    Having a Clique member go over Shane Douglas clean might send him packing. He hated the Clique passionately, and while perhaps it wasn't as intense with the former HHH, it probably wasn't good either. Bet the backstage at the end of the night was an interesting place to be, though in fairness...

  15. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    McMahon will forgive even the deepest of transgressions if he thinks it'll be good for business. Bret Hart and the Ultimate Warrior came back. Eric Bischoff had a long run with him post-WCW. The analogue is Jeff Jarrett, but there's two major differences: 1. Jarrett was holding the IC belt...

  16. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    Perhaps, but his firing will be big news among the smarks and he could very easily slide into the Syxx role with the nWo. I could definitely see Bischoff bringing him in to tweak McMahon. Whether his career trajectory is similar to OTL is anyone's guess; if nothing else, he's a lot less likely...

  17. The Cornette Call: A Pro Wrestling Timeline

    Among the immediate ramifications (well, besides what I assume will be a breach-of-contract suit from Nash): It appears that McMahon will double down on kayfabe, which reverses the faux-shoot direction to which they were nudging (like Nash's "I only high-five gloved hands" tweener speech the...

  18. DBWI: Martin Luther King died in 1968?

    So The Rent Is Too Damn High! Guy might be MLK's spiritual successor?

  19. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    It's not his fault, but one of the few flaws in the otherwise breathtaking P&S universe is that I don't think the original author ever meant for it to be a universe. It was one author writing about how England, and Portsmouth in general, would handle the build-up to and recovery from a nuclear...

  20. Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch

    Perhaps not, but I bet alcohol consumption will go through the roof, even as the supply dwindles and people are forced to become modern-day moonshiners. Anything to get away from their crapsack world, even if for a short time. I think there'd be some sort of pre-war plan to protect recordings...
