I, personally, would not buy into the myth or urban legends of such things. But to be subject of such a thing is an eye opener.
Not a chance thing, but happens consistently and often… Right in our very own battlegrounds!
AS my friend watches in awe of several rounds, I would tell him the first minion who would die, EVERY TIME. Always the one who was most valuable to keep alive.
Do you know anyone else who can predict “random” without flaw???
and to be clear
/S /S /S
Sum it up for you: Riggity riggity rii!
In the words of the almighty Homelander…
“It’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get ya” **
** FINE! A play on a quote from Joseph Heller
Only predict? I make money off of it.
Okay you’ve said this too many times. What on earth does this even mean?
Oh, and regarding thread title:
Broccoli tugboat express!
I think it’s a spin on Giggity Giggity Goo?
So what you’re telling me is that SnipG finds rigging sexually attractive?
Bobby, is that you?
Look at it…
R-I-G (ged)
make (a sailing ship or boat) ready for sailing by providing it with sails and rigging.
“the catamaran will be rigged as a ketch”
just kidding…
1 : to manipulate or control usually by deceptive or dishonest means rig an election. 2 : to fix in advance for a desired result rig the contest.

Paranormal is an oxymoron.
That’s F.I.N.E.
Supernatural is an oxymoron. Paranormal isn’t an oxymoron, it’s just a synonym for extraordinary, with baggage.
How is supernatural an oxymoron?
It’s just the Latin prefix super- (meaning “above, over, beyond, in addition to”) added to the word natural. So, it is just an adjective meaning “beyond nature” or “outside of nature”.
Everything is nature. “Beyond everything” IS an oxymoron.
Just because something doesn’t actually exist, doesn’t mean that the concept of it doesn’t exist.
Plus, oxymoron doesn’t mean “thing that doesn’t exist.” An oxymoron is an expression that combines apparently contradictory things.
There’s nothing contradictory in the adjective supernatural.
If you’re saying that “supernatural” is just a synonym for conceptual, with extra baggage, well, I’ve never heard people use the word as a synonym for conceptual. But I’ve heard people use the word paranormal as a synonym for weird.
The general usage of “supernatural” is 100% an oxymoron. It usually means things that exist beyond existence.
No, I’m not.
I’m saying it’s a term for things that are considered to exist outside nature. Like ghosts and spirits, etc., etc.
If ghosts physically exist, then they are natural. There is no way they couldn’t be. There is no such thing as physical existence outside of nature.
Because no one has every considered something that actually exists as being outside the natural order?
Plus, your argument still doesn’t make supernatural an oxymoron.
To be an oxymoron, the actual word or phrase must include contradictory terms. Like “humblebrag,” for example.
Okay, let’s put it this way: exists has two separate meanings.
One is the conceptual meaning. As in “the number one exists.” There is no tangible manifestation of the number one, but it exists as a concept.
The other meaning is synonymous with being in nature.
There’s no other meanings.
Ghosts and spirits do NOT exist, in the second meaning of exist. At all.
You’re trying to use a philosophical argument to prove an etymological point.
But whether or not “supernatural” is an oxymoron does not depend on your personal philosophical viewpoint.
Also, considering the term originally came from medieval Latin, perhaps you should consider what the medieval writers/thinkers who used the term would think about your argument.
