I wonder what it would take to get Mike Mignola to do a complete graphic novel adaptation of Lord of the Rings? If anyone could make Tom Bombadil seem badass, it would be him.
You're not punk, and I'm telling everyone.
Save your breath, I never was one.
You don't know what I'm all about.
Like killing cops and reading Kerouac.
My enemies are all too familiar.
They're the ones who used to call me friend.
I'm coloring outside your guidelines.
I was passing out when you were passing our your rules.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Who's punk what's the score?
Got a friend. Her name is Boxcar.
Cigarettes and beer in El Sob.
Her hair was blue, now it's green.
I like her mind. She hates the scene.

After over a year of trying, I've finally managed to book a show. I'm going to be sharing a basement stage with three of the biggest indie/punk bands in Syracuse. The show is in three days. Consider me terrified.
You know, I'm about as much of a skeptic as one can be, but finding an Ace of Wands tarot card in the driveway of my apartment complex in the middle of the night is still pretty spooky.
Reminds me of one of Rone's epically long Facebook pun posts:
"I didn't want a Russian bride so I ordered from Czechoslovakia instead. Email alerts informs me that my Czech's in the mail, but soon my male will be in the Czech. Sorry. That was terrible."
I'm possibly playing a show in two weeks, but I don't have a name yet. Any thoughts? Nothing funny, no puns. My stuff sounds a bit like Chuck Ragan / Dave Hause / Jets to Brazil.
You know, the more time passes, the more I realize that I'm never going to understand these human females. I think I'm going to go back to whatever planet my parents bought me from and live there.
I never said their office was in Springfield. I was posting from a Phone heading to my hometown.
& I would be an Idiot to post that with how my town is. Last time someone posted it they got investigated for being a Terrorist
Wait, what? Posting phone numbers from Springfield, Missouri on the internet is enough to get investigated for terrorism? Man, stock in tinfoil is going to go through the roof if this keeps up.
Our NY brethren doesn't understand what we in the South have known forever.
The temperature should never fall to "freezing my ballz off", and that white stuff that falls from the sky is pure demon shyte hurled from a floating cloud of evil.
I understand, for I have been to the magical snowless land of giant insects.
Whatever it is you're planning, I hope you have fun doing it. :)
And remember to be good. But if you can't be good, be careful.
Yesterday, my friend Joel and I stopped by a local music store so he could buy some aluminum picks. They didn't have any, but pointed us toward Guitar Center. Upon arrival, Joel noticed a lightly worn 1960s-era Conqueror baritone guitar sitting on the rack, listed for about $500 less than what it was actually worth, and not an hour after I'd told him that I'd been looking for something similar. That s$%% just doesn't happen to people. I ended up going in today, selling two of my guitars, and dropping about a week's pay on the thing. In the end, I spent about $250 for an $1100 instrument. Probably shouldn't have spent that much, especially given my situation, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I follow you, my current, the afore mentioned charisma based witch, is fairly charismatic but she tends to be a bit hard to deal with because of her "odd" behavior.
But I get the need to step away from your norm from time to time, sadly when I try to do it I get dumbfounded looks.
My wizard's an aranea (homebrew race) who prefers to spend her time in spider form and is rather irritated she has to shapeshift to have conversations. She carries her skunk familiar as a hat.
Really, I'm mostly upset skunk's not on the witch familiar list.
According to Memory Alpha, 'Star Trek Nemesis' director Stuart Baird did no research whatsoever before directing the film, and had never seen an episode of the show. Apparently, he thought that the characters Jean-Luc Picard and Geordi LaForge were aliens...
Barbarian: I cast impale person. Material component: my ranseur! Somatic component: I stab them! Verbal component.. "For Gorum!!!"
Reminds me of a friend's character, a troll barbarian with a 5 Intelligence who thought he was a wizard, and whose "spells" consisted of hitting things with his club and yelling "MAGIC!"
60*F and sunny in Syracuse. Haven't had a drink in two months. Haven't had a major episode in 18 months. Part-time apprenticeship with Steve Ellis lined up. New Vanderbuilts album in the stereo. Things could be a lot worse.
Well that was weird. A salesman from Family Energy came to our apartment, and over the course of about ten minutes, his spiel went from smaller energy bills to sequestration to RFID chips to the Book of Revelation, and finally to the Illuminati. Needless to say, my roommate and I shooed him out before he got crazy all over our carpet.
I wish. The artist is Anthony Palumbo. The models for the piece are, left to right, Boris Vallejo (Anthony's stepfather), Winona Nelson (Anthony's girlfriend), and Julie Bell (Anthony's mother).
I can honestly say that I'm not a fan of his stuff. I've met the guy in person, and he seemed like an awesome dude, but his artwork seems very static and posed. That, and he paints skin as if it's coated in a thick layer of vegetable oil (leading a friend of mine to refer to him as "Shiny-Butt Boris").
Okay, I have my basic summary for my potential PbP written up. Looks like I'm doing this thing.
No promises on how long until I'll get it up and ready to run, but if there are any FAWTLfolk who might be willing to poke into a new game, do speak up =) Scint's already expressed an interest off-forum so that's one at least.

I don't get it, either. My best guess right now comes from the snippets I overhear in the hallways - I have flat out heard some girls claim that you can't get a boyfriend if you're smart.
Hell, I hear quote-unquote adults say this on a regular basis. It's terrifying.
"When you first said 'crematorium,' I first thought of an auditorium filled with whipped cream, but then cruel reality set in. Why does something so dismal have to sound so delicious?"
I woke up this morning, and walked into the kitchen to see my roommate / best friend putting a few pots and pans in the trash can. When asked why he was throwing them out, he answered, "They went bad." I need to start keeping a list of these things...
Here's one of the weirder exchanges I've had this week, on DeviantArt with M:tG illustrator Johannes Voss, in response to a poll he had created entitled "More science! Your relationship status?"
Me: "Was in a three-year relationship up until just about a year ago, when she broke off our engagement, took a bunch of my stuff, and ran off to New York City with some actor. Since then, nothing on my end."
Johannes: "Believe it or not, but I know that feel. It'll get better brah, work your hardest, get in shape and live the life of kings!"
Me: "The life of kings, eh? So you're saying I should marry my sister, then execute all of my friends out of sheer paranoia, all before dying of syphilis at the ripe old age of 29? Sounds like a plan I could work with."
