The Energon Pub

So I was just sitting here on my laptop minding my own business...in a thunderstorm. And from out of nowhere a big red ball of lightning came down and hit right outside. I saw the lightning in a form of purple electricity surge through my laptop charger, it went through my computer, came out and freaking hit me!!! The pain was gone as fast as it came, though.

A house down the street also got hit, but it caught on fire. And now there's a bunch of fire trucks trying to put it out.

Impressed by your priorities/dedication.

If I ever got hit by lighting, I'd see how close I would be to being Livewire. Just incase...

I'm impressed if his computer is still running, it should be a wad of melted silicon after that.

You know, it also reminds me, this is the exact reason you aren't supposed to use a computer during a lightning storm.

I'm impressed that his house is still standing and apparently nothing was shorted out

I was bored. What else was I supposed to do?

Like I said. The house behind me wasn't so lucky. It caught on fire.

Wasn't that what happened to freekazoid? Computer was struck by lightning and he was sucked into the computer?

sly, hold your hands in the air and yell "FREAK OUT"

You're lucky to be alive right now. Next time, maybe not do something so stupid?

No, it was a bug from his computer's new processor, activated by a random string of code. That his cat entered by accident when walking across his keyboard. It was...um...a freak accident...

Its been a decade or so, but I could have sworn lightning played apart.

No, there was a lot of electricity arcing all over the place as he was sucked in, but that was more for effect than anything. Freakazoid does have a sort of lightning aesthetic going on, though.

His time with the Avengers has made him soft.

The other two thunder gods have no such excuse.

If it were Zeus he'd probably just have sex with Sly. Zeus was like that.

Giggity giggity.

(This thread is a real embarassment to me: I wrote "your" instead of "you're". And then everyone quoted my post. Argh.)

Whoa, you're lucky to be alive! :shock:

(Invest in a lightning rod)

And if you start seeing a TV show come alive...run as fast as you can! I remember how that Doctor Who episode went.

Might want to head to the doctor's. Getting hit by lightening can fry your insides with no real external proof of damage.

Why... I looked after someone who got hit by lightening, they had this massive exit wound on their foot which got all nice and pusy. The worst thing was when their bowels started dying and the remains started oozing out their anus.

Died shortly after that.

I threw the sheets out.

Pretty sure that this did not happen. Homes have circuit breakers installed for a reason and if the lightning hit the ground outside, it was already dispersed by a non-conductive element.
