Why did Max Liao cross the road?
Because he wasn't about to be outdone by a chicken this time.
How easy is it too shoot someone in the cockpit?
If you're Loren Coleman, its easier than shooting the ground.
Different sentence styles for authors:
Normal Sentence: The Archer fell backwards as the volley of missiles ripped into its internal structure.
Michael Stackpole's way:
The Blueish-Greenish Blue Archer, a 70 ton mech armed with dual LRM20s and 4 Medium Lasers, began to fall the backwards while the Liao pilot attempted in vain to keep the mech upright. The missiles, SRMs, which were painted black and moved very fast, slammed into the mech, ripping up armor and digging deep into the mech's internals.
The Loren Coleman way:
Kai Allard Liao unleashed a firestorm of SRMs that dug into the enemy Archer's head and center torso, smashing the cockpit and causing the mech to explode in a golden shower of molten slag.
The Blaine Lee Pardoe way:
A mechwarrior, who originally fought for some oppressive force but was forced to join with the good guys, killed his former friend when he fired a volley of missiles into the Archer.
The Randall Bills way:
Mech is Archer. Archer get blown up. Go boom. Archer mechwarrior cries.
The Robert Charette way:
Jaime Wolf's Archer was hit by missiles, but they did no damage. Instead, Jaime's Archer shot back with its dual medium lasers and took out 2 companies of Drac mechs.
The Robert Thruston way:
The Archer exploded as the rock hit its armor, setting off a chain reaction that took out the entire IS regiment. Aidan Pryde smiled because he threw the rock.
The Thomas Gressman way:
The Star League fell back again as they took down the enemy Archer, but took heavy losses. The Main Character dies in the end (Damnit! I let that secret loose!)
-when walking in the park you make stomping sounds and run into trees.......then wonder why they don't magicaly blow up when you touch them.
here's some BT in the form of cows that i took from CBT.com:
Star League-ism: You have two cows. A goat takes over the barn. One cow blows up the goat's home, then fights with the goat over the barn. The goat is killed. The fighting cow leaves the farm while the other cow proceeds to systematically nuke parts of the farm for the hell of it.
Rim Worlds-ism: You have two cows. They are nuked along with the rest of your nation because of what your goat did.

MoC-ism: You have two cows. One buys rank in your military, the other tours human space as a novelty in a "pleasure circus."

ComStar-ism: You have two cows. They are neutral in all things. You have swamp land in Florida to sell if I buy the neutral thing.
WoB-ism: You have two cows. They walk around in robes with math symbols. Everyone makes fun of the cows. The cows nuke everyone.

The first cow chops off his horns, throws them at the second cow's hooves, and goes off to form a military unit. The second cow hides himself in a barn for a few years.
Because he wasn't about to be outdone by a chicken this time.
