Virlutris likes to spread false rumors.

[Virlutris]

Nightmare1 likes to use those slushie straws from Seven-Eleven (you know, the big ones with the little spoon dished out at the end) to eat his soup.

He especially enjoys making a game of slurping his noodles through the straw.

Virlutris hates the color purple. You might not believe that given his signature, but he really, really does hate the color. His signature is purple as a coping method. He is trying desperately to overcome his irrational hate of the color, but the doctors helping him are not sure that it is working. Lately, he has gone from grinding his teeth at the sight of purple to actively attacking it.

[MarineTech]

Nightmare once had his own pancreas try to strangle him.

I won't go into details, but the whole episode was pretty gross.

[Virlutris]

MarineTech is the sole Owner/Operator of a small boat salvage operation along the Gulf Coast of the U.S.

Sure, he's rightully proud of his time in the Marine Corps, but his name is really an homage to his true love: rescuing marine technology from the grip of its watery resting place, and putting it to good use again, all for fun and profit

(Totally gonna play along with this)

IT'S RASALHAGUE BLUE! (Seriously, it really is, it looks much blue-er in the game client)

IT'S NOT THAT COLOR YOU DISPARAGED WITH THAT WORD!

IT'S ^{MAYBE ... INDIGO}, WHICH IS REALLY MORE OF AN IN-BETWEEN OF BLUE AND THE NEXT COLOR ALONG THE SPECTRUM, WHICH IS VIOLET, NOT THAT COLOR YOU INSINUATED BY USING THAT WORD. EDUCATE YOURSELF!

Truer than you realize - once battled pancreatitis as a kid!

...And it actually really was gross. Ugh, I hate Orange Gatorade and Catscans even to this day!

Virlutris is actually very color blind.

[Virlutris]

Nightmare1 likes to pick words at random and decide what they mean arbitrarily, with no regard to dictionaries or even colloquial meaning.

Seriously. If he offers you a sombrero, don't take it. Just ... don't.

[Nightmare1]

Virlutris once ordered Domino's Pizza at Wendy's...

...And got it!

[Virlutris]

Nightmare1 was flunked out of the Boogie Man's nighmare-delivery vocational training program. He's now interning with the San Man delivering happy dreams to children, out of spite for the Boogie Man. One day, he will show the Boogie Man. He'll show him good.

On that day, the Boogie Man will awake in a cold sweat, his fevered mind still awash with lingering scenes of rainbows, unicorns and fluffy kittens happily romping in a field of grass and wildflowers, while utterly powerless to ruin the idyllic scene with fear, terror and tragedy.

On that day, the Boogie Man himself will know he's been bested with petty, vengeful, poetic and even ironic justice, by Nighmare1. Keep griding Nighmare1, you'll show him!

Virlutris is actually a model for Skittles, and stars in all of their commercials. This is because he really has tasted the rainbow!

[MarineTech]

Nightmare has the ability to speak to marmots. He practices frequently for long hours recording his exploits for future study in marmot behavior.

Of course, the marmots don't understand a word he's saying, but they allow him to stay around because he brings them treats.

MarineTech is the one who stuck that anchor through the earth in the Marine insignia. There's a good story behind it too! You see, MarineTech is actually an ancient mariner, the first of his ilk who was transformed into the legendary Marine. During his Marine Training School, the instructors weren't one-hundred percent sure what they needed to teach in the course curricula. It was the first such, after all. Well, being derivatives from ancient mariners, they opted to include a class on proper anchor throwing. They figured that all good Marines should know how to anchor their ships before disembarking for meet-and-greets with the enemy. MarineTech was the first Marine to be chosen to demonstrate the tenets of the course.

MarineTech stepped up to the anchor selection table, and chose the anchor that best matched the ship description he had been given (knowing which anchor goes with which ship is important; you don't want to use too small and anchor and have your warship drift away, or too big a one and sink it!). He drew it back over his shoulder and heaved as mightily as he could. Problem was, he overshot the throw zone and sent it smashing through the globe statue that was out near the gates. An eagle was lazily sunning itself on the globe at that time, and when the anchor smashed through it, the poor bird bolted upright, wrenching its spine and getting itself stuck in that position. A photographer for the academy newspaper was snapping photos at that time and happened to get one of the anchor plowing into the globe while scaring the eagle stiff.

Upon review, it was decided that the anchor+globe+eagle combo made a terrific looking symbol, and it was immediately adopted. The ancient mariners dumped the anchor throwing class, deciding that kind of mundane work was better left to Navy grunts, and instead focused on teaching their Marines the best methods for slaughtering their foes in a timely manner while looking like bosses in the process. After all, once the Marine leave their ships, they don't have plans to return for lunch, so why bother anchoring the stupid things? Marines shouldn't have to do everything for the Navy, after all! MarineTech's overthrow was quickly covered up, and he received an honorable discharge so that the government could move him to its fledgling shot-putting team. There, MarineTech competed under the name, "Hercules," earning his country much renown in the first ever Olympic Games.

Nowadays, MarineTech sits in his ancient little rocking chair, staring out at the world with wizened little eyes, and telling stories to curious young-uns that come along. However, the observant passerby will notice that there's a globular shaped object covered by a tarp in his back yard, and that the tough little Marine never stops working those Power Grips, even when talking to the youngsters.

[Sizzles]

Nightmare thinks that this is how frogs move.

[Nightmare1]

Sizzles actually hails from a distant planet in our solar system. Already a celebrity around the world for his personal oddities, he shocked the earth when he announced his extraterrestrial origin. Upon seeing this announcement on the news, NASA immediately shut down all space exploration missions, citing the fact that, "We don't want to risk finding another quack like him!" as the reason.

Yes, that is correct, Ladies and Gentlemen, Sizzles is the reason why NASA is hiding.

[DeathEagle]

MarineTech is a morbidly obese Ace Mech pilot who is kept permenantly entombed in his Kintaro. In order to stave off his Diabetes, he is fed healthy, liquefied pancreas' via IV to keep him alive.

[Virlutris]

DeathEagle is a master of the "Skip" maneuver in hopscotch. He can skip up to 4 hops in a single bound, one-legged, with an arm tied behind his back.

You can tell by the way that he skipped three posts to make up a fact about MarineTech.

You can't stop him. You can't even hope to contain him. He will hop right past your silly roadblock to get where he wants.

[wanderer]

What Virlutris doesn't know is that the real reason Paul nerfed jump jets was to contain DeathEagle.

But he's a good cop that follows the topic regulations. That's why they promoted him despite being a Viking with his skull on fire.

So... they'd be Diarritos?

[Sparks Murphey]

FuDawg suffers from lag so bad that he is only just now experiencing 2014 for the first time. This disconnection from real time events is of great concern to wanderer (along with Nightmare1 and Sizzles), as their BattleMechs are powered exclusively by fun facts. With the recent disruption to the regular flow of facts into their funsion refactors, all three have found themselves stranded and hoping that someone fixes this before someone with a BAP patrols past them.

[Virlutris]

Sparks equips BAP on all his mechs, in case of just such a confluence of events.

He's cackling right now, because we all called him crazy and yet his planning is poised to pay off.

I can hear the footfalls of his mech right now, and I can hear his breathlessly manic, sing-song voice over his open comms: "Come out come out wherever you are ... I've got a fun fact for you ... I can deliver it straight to your cockpit when I find you ..."
