STOP GIVING DREJK MORE HORRIFYING IDEAS FOR MAKING MORE HORRIFYING CRITTERS!!!
The funny thing is is that Orthos' exact response to the hobkins comment I made earlier was "I hate that I want to stat this."
The Irradiated template exists and we do have plans for a plot later that takes place in the ground zero of where some archangel magic-nuked a dragon.
...oh, dear. Are you sure that was one of ours?

Definitely wasn't one of ours. We never had dragons involved.

Impus Major: No, I'm working on a comparative chart of things to wipe your butt with. From top to bottom is "adhesive" to "slippery", and from left to right is, "abrasive" to "smooth".
That's going to cost some points.
Does it count against me that I pointed out that "live rabbits" was missing from his chart?
Crowley, I think the ineffable plan's gotten a bit effable!

Freehold is in charge of the artillery? Does that make him the thread General or Regent? I always saw him as the Warden for some reason.

I have been playing far too much Kingmaker since the DLC went on sale and I bought the season pass.

All I know is Tac is the High Priest and Orthos the Magister, and Limey most likely seems like the Royal Assassin, because of his mastery of weaponry.

I'm clearly thinking too much about this.

Oh, certainly he can, but be sure he doesn't take you too literally and start believing he's Robespierre or Oliver Cromwell again.

How about Vetinari?

So, I'm interested in other people's takes on this, so I'll try to report just the facts and see what people think:

(1) GothBard's company invited her to a "team building" picnic and requested an RSVP, which she happily accepted
(2) Once she had responded, she was assigned to one of four "teams" and told that the four teams would be competing in a series of events, and the winning team would receive "trash talking rights" and a trophy for winning
(3) At a meeting on Tuesday the various team members were already eagerly trash talking each other
(4) This morning the trophy showed up: A 5' hunk of bling the winning team would get to put up in the office and boast about for the rest of the year

So... thoughts?

They think a bunch of programming nerds need physical exercise?

I don't hate these things. I don't specifically like them either.

Basically the parts I actually hate tend to come down to most non-jocks' memories of recess and/or PE or just passing through the school halls in our younger years. It's not as bad in the workplace, most of the time, but it still happens.

But...

It gets people out of the office to help burn off stress, which is sometimes more important than any other stated goal.

If they do more of these, it should be balanced out with other kinds of activities, like escape rooms or a day at a high-speed driving school or whatever.

Or paintball!
Well, only if it's with live ammo. Those bastards in accounting have it coming.

Now we're talking.

Your mastery of time is awe inspiring.

{documentary voiceover:} If you do the Time Warp dance while singing from the Rocky Horror soundtrack, nothing happens. If you do it while instead singing along with Queen and orbiting around the Sun, you can actually travel through time. The grinding sound of the TARDIS as it (re)materializes is actually the temporal subharmonics of Sir Brian May's guitar amplified through a quantum badger so human ears can hear it.

You again?! How in the Heaven did you fit into the glove compartment? Out! Out!

A teenage boy walks into a brothel dragging a dead frog on a leash. He asks the head mistress specifically for a whore with an STD. The mistress is confused and asks the boy why. The boy says, "Well, when I go home my parents will go out and leave me and my little sister with a babysitter. The babysitter will have sex with me and get it. Then when my parents get home my dad will take the babysitter home, bang her on the way and get it. Then he will get home and give it to my mom. Then when my dad goes to work tomorrow, mom will have sex with the mailman and give it to him. And he's the a#!*#&$ that ran over my pet frog!"

Nah. I've met the kid, he's a lot better behaved than that, and you'd never catch him without his gang of friends or his dog.

Apparently when I'm really tired after a long commute, I will still occasionally walk up to the front door, push the unlock button on the car keyfob, and then be confused when the apartment door does not unlock. It happened I did it again today. Which makes me wonder what possible accidents I may have obliviously caused on the drive home.

Man that's weird. I once accidentally stuck my car key in the apartment door lock and the entire apartment building started up. Drove it down I-55 and eventually just parked in the median.

(My sincerest apologies to Steven Wright.)

I've had days like that. Typically after long nights drinking with Aziraphale.

What is the Anti-Gremlin?

As you are astutely aware, gremlins are the single bright spot in the entire evolutionary tree that are faeries. Why you'd want to choose anything other than a Gremlin is mindboggling, but...

Hmmm. I suppose the Anti-Gremlin would be either an AMC Javelin or Nash/AMC Ambassador. Whichever you choose, get one with the original shag carpeting and the OEM 8-track player.

Also, be sure to leave a tape, any tape -- cassette, scotch, masking, measuring, Buzzsaw, Ravage, etc. -- in it for at least two contiguous weeks and it will automagically turn into a copy of Best of Queen.

There you are, you little blackguard. Get out of my car!

I read not long ago that a group of scientists analyzed the voices of many pop and rock singers. According to their findings, Freddie Mercury had the greatest voice of all time, not accounting for singers from before the era of voice recording.

Perhaps other Neil Gaiman fans will understand what I mean when I say that this evening I was driving home through the rain wearing a black leather moto jacket, listening to a Best of Queen mix on the MP3 player in my car, and wondering why my car wasn't magically being transformed into a Bentley.

And then, as I listened for the high notes that just weren't there, I realized that the problem was that the song I was listening to was an Adam Lambert cover of a Queen song, not the original, and ergo insufficiently magical.

Well see, there's your problem. It only works if it's the original package. Covers just don't have the soul, the authenticity. And trust me, I know all about soul.

I'm just going to blame Cosmo for roundabouts and the individuals who thought putting them on Wisconsin roads, especially when the terrain makes roundabouts a very bad and very dangerous idea, was a good idea.

I shall also add that I blame Cosmo that the aforementioned individuals cannot decide on a single design for the roundabouts - some are two-lane, some are one-lane, and some are a twisted combination of the two, and all have the center so raised up that one cannot see oncoming traffic unless one is in a semi.

I shall also blame Cosmo that, no matter the design, none of them are ever plowed decent, if at all, in the winter because the design makes such activity difficult, if not impossible.

I blame Cosmo that in California, they put Stop signs around every roundabout, showing a complete and utter lack of understanding of their purpose.

Is it any wonder California drivers have no clue whatsoever how to use roundabouts?

Very clever, Mr. Cosmo. Verrrrrry clever!

I blame Cosmo for continuing this constant one-upsmanship with Crowley across the pond in the English DoT.

I'm still winning.
