  • So, from Silent Nacht, we know that there are Phobophages, a.k.a Bogeymen, and that they possibly reside in Dentist Offices...

    Are there basically emotophages for every other emotion? ... Have we seen some already? Like Dr. Macabre's Snake-Spirit-thing?

    ... If there are rage-eaters, could they feed off of H1! activists and be partially responsible for mutophobia? ... Possibly not? It's hard to have enough rage that's constant enough to feed such a thing?

  • Having a constant source of rage is easy, find someplace that has a lot of people who have to call tech support fairly frequently. Or the server rooms for some major online multiplayer games, specifically games that are filled with angry people who either hack or cuss or get angry at people who are hacking and therefore cuss...

    Wouldn't the tech support phone bank have far more rage, especially at the end of a shift. :)

    Possibly, but it would pail in comparison to the rage that is directed through server rooms between players of say Call of Duty, (seriously even if I was into the rouge-like with heavy weapons theme of COD, the pure rage of the player base I got a taste of when playing at a friend's house is enough for me to stay away, I wonder what GTA 5 servers would have, seeing how that series IS basically a take your anger out on whatever- with a campaign style game...

  • Bah. Too much work. Any rage-addicted emotophage would just hang around talk radio shows, political blogs and the like. In fact, some of them might even start their own shows on talk radio.

    Or in a "fire and brimstone" church, I wonder how many Rev E has found trying to use his church as a diner...

    Maybe Rev Englund doesn't actually believe what he preaches. It's just bait... (But I doubt it)

    A far better source of rage - any US freeway during rush hour...

    Quintessentially, the DC Beltway. Does the local radio station (whose call sign escapes me) still do Beltway roulette? (A radio station van enters the beltway at 3pm and announces entry location and direction. Callers call in to guess where it will be at 6 pm. Some days it doesn't get more than an exit or two.)

    Would the Calibans be included in this category?

    These? Calibans.

    Yes. Hell yes. Thank you!

    How do they form, I wonder? Are they the next evolution of bogeyman? Do they bud off? Or sexually reproduce? ... The latter seems so un-spiritual... Anyway, I've got a way to get hate for whenever I need it! ... Caliban Avatar has gotta suck?

    Theres an easy way to get hate at Whateley, hang out around Peeper or the Don and you got all the hate you need.
