..."well, you're 10th level, so that's an ecl of 6...."
Say whatever you want about ECL, but it has put an end to the AD&D "matching HD" b*!*%%%~. I had a M who felt comletely justified in dropping two huge red dragons on us because "they are 11 HD each and you are 5th level. As there are five of you, that's 25 HD vs. 22 HD - hell, you should have beaten them". (actual quote).
Also, the leadup to this fight makes me wonder what highbrow troll humour sounds like...
I can always throw yet another troll at Stiggy; I can't "un-TPK" him.
s*&# I hope Heathansson didn't expect me to dig my way out of this place. Stig thinks he can talk his way out of this. He sees himself in command of a ship by tomorrow afternoon.
I think that's what Conan would do. No need to actually escape until you're in the hands of a vile cult or an evil sorcerer.
Or, Kirk, fighting the Gorn, with everybody else watching on the viewscreen of the Enterprise.

Hey if you need Stiggy to be out-of-play for a bit while the others organize no problem!
All she has to do is sit him in the corner with a barrel of rum.
(lol) more like a lil time to figure out exactly what's going down....I've been skanking this whole thing.
I had a cool visit from the muse last night though.

AM on call fri-sat-sun;
if I'm not around, that's where I am.
Guess since I might be working a lot or not,....I'll try to get some stuff built steada sitting around spamming the waytoolong thread, assuming that I'm not working a lot.
I got a houseful of guys this weekend, playing in the Mwangi Expanse so I should reach civilisation some time on Sunday. Hopefully after a Brit wins the Aussie Open Tennis.
He's growing on me. Less of a tight-arse these days. And you want Mr Exciting Federer to win? Yawn give me Murray any day.

I still can't take to Murray. He has a sulky look that makes me want to slap him. Or get someone else to do it, since he is a lot taller than me.

heh heh....time to learn me up about some tennis.....
"fault!"
On call starting from 6:00 pm friday night until 6:00am monday morning.
Youngest one's fever started......5:00pm friday night.
That is ever the timing of it.
It'll be allright, just a real pain in the arse.
So, since I'm allready called in to work tomorrow morning, looks like an exciting weekend for yours truly. Prolly won't be about much tonite or tomorrow; maybe tomorrow evening. Who knows; I'm on call then too, and another kid could break his arm or something. I'm on call, after all. Murphy's law sucks my butt!!!!!

i.e. just a friendly note so's youse all don't expect much outta my yap box for the next day or so.

Woo hoo! Just pharyngitis.... I love it when it gets handled quicklike.
I think I'll go chill out and vegetate in the meatworld a bit.
Tennis... Meh. It might be great exercise, but as for watching it - not so much.
We have a horned owl living in a park right next to our house, and I just spent an hour or so there watching it watching my dog chasing down frisbees. The owl seemed completely fascinated and mystified that anyone would expend so much energy chasing a round plastic plate - and who can blame it? Good times!
The Swiss won the tennis again. Not my favourite sport, but I guess I like them all, especially when a Brit goes to the final. Shame, he was playing a tennis god.
Good luck Kruelaid, I always watched out for the use of umbrellas and briefcases in London. They were dangerous.
Vanuatu is a small nation spread out over several (dozens?) small islands in the Pacific Ocean. I guess the culture would be described as Polynesian or Melenesian. It's about 3-4 hours by plane from Sydney. It's near New Caledonia.
Hm,... is a vacate there 'affordable'? (As compared to more well-known touristy destinations?) Because I'm all about an Island vacation!
Well, it’s affordable from here (in Sydney) – I don’t know, the airfares might kill it from where you are. All the tourists there were either Aussies or New Zealanders (and a few French) – no Americans that I met, which might suggest it’s a bit too far for the average American to travel.
I also went during cyclone season (fortunately there were no cyclones while I was there) which made the accommodation costs a bit more affordable.
Temporary job finding out how many Murrkins dwell on our lovelery sandbar. So far I have discovered we have quite a large expat Russian community here, who knew? Probably find our state's government comfortably familiar ...

Spoken like a true librarian. Or is that libertarian?
Hey, at least it's something! Having been in the position of "I have something in two months, but I have to make a living until then" scenario, I feel for you! :)
Heathansson(Manwolf Werewoof upper middle class twit 5)
Hey, Kruely; are you on vacation in Manila? I saw it on the FAWTL; was gonna ask there, but then I saw you saying "goodnight" so the next time you'll see that thread it'll be 500 nigh unreadable posts longer.
Heathansson(Manwolf Werewoof upper middle class twit 5)
Oh;
I'm on call TODAY from now till 8p.m. (it's 9:25 am where I am)
and I'm on call Tomorrow through Sunday; so I'll either be here, or I won't; never know until the beeper chirps out its halcyon summons.
Thx! It's only my 29th bday!
(Oh, ok. My 15th, 29th birthday!)
;P
I worked, unfortunately. But had a lovely bday lunch out with the family on Sat. So it's all good.
Oh! And presents! I think I now own every season of SMALLVILLE! I can veg for DAYS,... if I ever actually get any time off,... :)
I watched the whole game this morning. Those Saints played very good, never thought they would beat Peyton Manning but that on-side kick had me jumping and cheering for the Saints.
As far as I KNOW, New Orleans is still standing. Such as it is.
(I actually live 2 hours away now! YAY!)
HOWEVER,... On the radio this morning they announced that the party in the Quarter (That's the "French Quarter" to you non-residents) was STILL going on, and that they had pretty much just declared an early start to Mardi Gras, and were going into Carnival police mode.
Oh, and it must be pretty wild down your way today. Is the city still standing?
Heheh, thx!
(You DID realize that I'm forcing you all to do math, right? This is my 15th, 29th bday. Though I still think of myself as young, you have to add those together!) ;P

HEy now! I'm older than you, but I'm not so far gone that I can't handle simple addition.

Speaking of all that - I'll be in New Orleans from this Saturday until next Sunday morning. Want to meet up and have a brew?

Aw man, that would be awesome!
Unfortunately, I live in LAfayette, which is 2 hours away. While I can make that drive, usually to visit the in-laws, I have to be in a REEEEELY crazy mood to fight all the Mardi Gras insanity!
Spoiler:
(Which means I'll see if the wife wants to go visit her family and catch a New Orleans parade, in which case, yes, I'd luv too!) ;P
