Newton's Current Kittenwar stats - Not bad!
This is how Newton has performed in 7493 battles:
# Won: 5012 (67%)
# Lost: 1751 (23%)
# Drawn: 730 (10%)
As "Guido" has performed in 10472 battles:
# Won: 6949 (66%)
# Lost: 2620 (25%)
# Drawn: 903 (9%)
Got a wonderful compliment yesterday. "You have made my life a happier place..."
That's the sort of thing that makes it worthwhile.
Newt broke the NewtCam when he knocked it off of the computer (with a vigorous tush-push), and it swung down and broke the base off of the camera proper. I thought I'd have to get a new one, but a hot glue gun rules the day.
You are a Folkie. Good for you.
What kind of Sixties Person are you?

Awkward at low levels, an unstoppable juggernaut at high levels, you are the monk. I think an honest attempt was made to make the kind of monks you always see in those awesome movies from China, but really, they came up with something pretty weird here. You are so in tune with the natural harmonies of this world that you can destroy *anything*... sure, you can hit for subdual damage, but where's the fun in that? At the end of the battle the fighter wipes his sword clean of blood and resheaths it feeling pretty hard-core... until he looks over at you and sees you standing in a pile of maimed and unconscious bodies, completely unarmed, and entirely placid-faced... Fighter: "Well fought, Brother Learned Fist! Ha ha!" *said ill-at-ease* Monk: "There, in the trees... a baby morning dove just took it's first flight while I was disemboweling this ogre with my quivering-toenail... so beautiful... or did you not notice?" Your main function in the party is to keep things a little awkward for everyone else. |

Tons of great books for download (or read online) in an assortment of formats. I just snagged the Robert E. Howard and Dashiell Hammett. Hooray for lapsed copyrights!
Abraham Merritt (9)
News editor and occasional author of "tales of the weird." Wrote under the name A. Merritt. Adept horticulturalist, but into his secret garden don't think twice.
| Dashiell Hammett (16) St. Mary's County-born and Baltimore-bred American icon, co-inventor of the hard-boiled detective genre, later in life a political dissenter. Jailed and barred from receiving any royalty payments when his first set of copyrights came up for renewal. |
| Dime Novels (26) Works sold, often on a subscription basis, written rather rapidly, often featuring Western heroes and the like. |
| Doc Savage (181) 1930s-era uber-scientific Man in Bronze who lived in a fortress of solitude and fought evil with the help of his Fantastic Five. Hmm, maybe Salon.com's stock price is justified by that brilliant careers thingie that termed Stan Lee a great innovator. |
| Gothic Tales@ (997) Stories of the strange, the terrible, the macabre. |
| Grace Culver (6) Also from the back pages of Shadow's mag, Grace was a redheaded operative/secretary for the Noonan Detective Agency; a pioneering woman detectives. |
| Jens H. Altmann (6) German author of the Midnight Sentinel Series, published by Masque Noir down under. |
| Robert E. Howard (17) Long-deceased author of the Conan and Solomon Kane series. Many of his works appeared in Weird Tales. |
| The Avenger (29) From the same folks who brought you Doc Savage, the Avenger! Series included Henry Benson, great nephew of Phileas Fogg (around the world in 80 Days), as well as Nellie Gray, daughter of Tarzan and Jane--the organization they worked for was Justice, Inc. |
| The Shadow (331) Who knows what ebooks lurk in the shadows of the web? Series written largely by Maxwell Grant. Most copyrights were not renewed. |
| The Spider (5) Long-running adventure series, credited to Grant Stockbridge. Buy a copy or two from the links listed and maybe we'll have more. |
From the back pages of Shadow magazine comes this character.

Heh. It's funny that Newt has a pseudonym. Even funnier that it's Guido.

I'm delighted that you're finding all my junk nifty. :D also, that you used the phrase "I'm tickled".
Thank you!
