As a way to better understand ourselves, a sort of meta-culturual study of the debate dynamic of NSG, I've decided to try to model us as either the NSG A-Team, or the NSG Village People.

Artisticly inclined folks could do costumes, whether photoshopped, or South Park character renderings, etc.


An example would be: The NSG Legal A-Team.

Ten years ago, a crack litigative unit was acquitted by a Bar Character and Fitness Board for a cyber sex crime they didn't allcommit. These men promptly and needlessly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team which, being wary of the problematic nature of giving legal advice to strangers on the internet, will not help you..



Hannibal: Cat-Tribes. A bit older, experienced, loves it when a District Split on a major constitutional issue comes together. Chomps cigar.

"Face": Neesika. Note that while Dirk Benedict was male, he was replaced on BSG with a hot, fiesty female, so we could just do the same thing here. Crafty, witty, hates cylons but loves the law.

"Mad" Murdoch: Hammurab. Generally not useful, takes more effort to contain than what the team really gets out of him. Possible mild dissociative idenity disorder.

B.A. Baracas: Neo Art. Pities the fool who comments without rigorous backing in jurisprudence, while keeping a healthy respect for black letter law. Very black letter law.

It's fun to stay at the Y--M--C--A.

....you just made me picture Neo Art in a mohawk and bling.

I think my brain is broken forever.

(But not so broken that I don't want to see the Village People cast, too...)

You get to be the second season guest star who is in terrible peril from the motorcycle gang / racist group / street gang / corrupt local cops / out of control homeowners association.

Then we save you.

Cop? Construction worker?

Military Guy.:D

Was there one? I suppose there should've been. We can add one.

The NSG Muppets..

Miss Piggy.... amm I'll just stop there I think.

Hee, the mods can be the two cranky old guys up in the balcony, calling foul on crappy jokes and worthless thre---

Oh, shit.

I think there was one. My Disco History is a bit rusty.

Well, we're a diverse lot here. We can add things, soldiers, astronauts, samurai, cats in lawyer suits, whatever.

Cop? Construction worker?

Dibs on the American Indian Chief. Why? Because nobody portrays other races quite like ignorant white people. Have you seen white people in black face? :p

I guess I can be the cop.

I object!

I should totally get the B.A Baracas part. Let Art be Face. He's more the type to primp and preen anyway :D

Examing the record, it appears the objection is sustained.

Okay, you're B.A., Neo Art can be Ms. Face.

Since I was a kid I wanted to see Indians (feather, not dot) do a western where all the cowboys were Indians in white face, and all the Indians were Indians too.

Young man, you got it.

Well, you appear to have your own cuffs...not sure why the pink felt and glitter dust are on them, but you do have your own cuffs.

I was busy, so I had Nanatsu go get them. You know how that goes.

i like to think of NSG as spinal tap. most of you are just the drummer.

i'd like to be Santana. it works cuz like Santana on body quite knows who i am either.

Fuck, I want to be in Spinal Tap instead. Too late to change my mind? I could be the little green glob left on the drum stool.

Besides, I bet I've punched out more guys than Neo Art has. *grumble grumble*

Brain: re-broken.

Yeah but now I get the mohawk and the bling. It works much better on me anyway.

I'm sure they'd let Art remain a man.

I cannot argue with that.

I'm sure they'd let Art remain a man.

I certainly hope so. I would rather object otherwise. :p

Idk.......Who gets to be on this Council? :p

I am so calling the construction worker.

Damn straight girls!

Ah, he'd be a bitch anyway :D

God, that movie was awful. I would rather undergo a root canal, an orchectomy (sp?), Chinese water torture, and scaphism, all at the same time, than watch that again.

A little good ol American Waterboarding'll have you thinkin otherwise, ;)

Can I be a villian in the NSG A Team?

If being waterboarded is the price I have to pay to avoid seeing that steaming pile of fermented skunk bile again, it is a price I will willingly pay without even a nanosecond of hesitation.

Wasn't there a season when they had a cute girl helping out? It didn't last long, though.

Also, during the last season, when they were legal again, weren't they working for some guy with an eye patch and a mustache?

I still want to be the construction worker!

You see to know a lot about this for a so called "innocent victim".:p

But correct and correct, according to wiki they're assisted initially by reporter Amanda Allen and then by reporter Tawnia Baker. There was also Vitemese war orphan Tia and special effects man Frankie Santana.

They were captured in the fifth season and forced to do sucicide mission by General Hunt Stockwell, he's the eyepatch guy you're thinking about.

Oh, and as an added bonus my googling found me this. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/) Let's all pray it doesn't come to pass.

i'll go for samurai cats.

Can I be a villian in the NSG A Team?

How about Colonel Lynch - the first army officer sent to capture them

I personally want to be Colonel Decker - the more competent second guy they sent after them.


Edit: Damn, I know too much about the A-Team for someone born about the same time it started first airing.

i'll go for samurai cats.

You and me both, you and me. *nod*

But I wouldn't mind being the leather guy of the Village People.

I was busy, so I had Nanatsu go get them. You know how that goes.

You know, as well as I do, that you asked me, specifically, for those glitter pink cuffs. Tell Toomey-sama about the gold lammé thigh high boots, Messah.

can I be the rich TV/music executive that cancels the whole thing?

Okay, you can be the cute girl, helping out. You can ride in Mad Murdock's lap.

I still want to be the construction worker!

We can have multiple construction workers. One can be a house framer with a big hammer, hard hat, cut off jeans, and gay mustache, and the other guy can be a pipefitter with a big wrench, hard hat, cut off jeans, and gay mustache.

Cool. I liked Murdoch. And I'll be the cutest, most helpful 62-year-old girl you ever saw.

Great, you can be played by a younger Cloris Leachman.

*slaps forehead*

No, no, no, no, you've got it all wrong.

First of all, it's "Howling Mad" Murdoch.

Second, if anyone on this board is right for that part, it's ME, since, unlike Hammurab (AFAIK) or anyone else I'm aware of on this board, I am (a) from the greater LA area (at least originally), (b) admitted to the state bar of California (much to the annoyance of some, I'm sure), and (c) already considered howling mad by at least TCT and Neesika. ;)

Fuck the law.

It's be nice if for once, just once, someone would say "what do you want Indri" or "you'll never get away with this Indri" or "stop shoving my intestines into my dead mother's mouth Indri" but nooo, everyone's gotta be a Steve Jerkle.

Nobody's called the biker yet. I'm the biker!

Why, given that you've presented us with an "A or B" choice, is there no poll?

Yeah but now I get the mohawk and the bling. It works much better on me anyway.But, now, shouldn't that be a "cree" instead? :D

Also, during the last season, when they were legal again, weren't they working for some guy with an eye patch and a mustache?Nick Fury? ;)
