      “Raise the Dead” being a reference to Addam’s Family… but is “Moo Moo’s” a reference to Bloodthorn’s First Contact?

    Well! This look promising! 😀 I do love All-Hallow’s Evening, and who doesn’t like good old-fashioned rustic western decor?

    Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
    Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
    A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
    He saw the riders coming hard
    And he heard their mournful cry

        I knew Frankie Laine[0]; you, sir, are no Frankie Laine!
        [0] mid-late 1950s when I were a lad

          Frankie Laine’s was the most famous revival of that tune. I learned the original version (sung by Stan Jones and the Death Valley Rangers) off the radio when I was a three-year-old in 1949.

        Nukes are nice, I guess. I prefer a small stick. By small I mean about 1km long and 200m in diameter moving at a nice double-digit percentage of C. It really does a nice job at redecorating.

          The most fun name for that’s “Rods from God,” and there’s also “Project Thor.” The more boring names are “kinetic strike” and “kinetic bombardment.” (The latter being the title Wikipedia uses for the concept.)

            BFH. The best of all those. Tough call which had the best use in fiction. Pfootfall, Anathema and some others over the eons…the prequel books for Schlock Merc’ that Webber has some accurate (heh) technically use of them. Aside: Project Thor is the name of the project and first conceptual presentation of such an attack method I am aware of. Americans, wanting nukes but don’t want to be blamed for rads so find a way.

          You’re the sort of person who gives technical critiques on the SMOD versus Cthulu debate, aren’t you?
          I approve.
