The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945

Come on, you sons of b~@~+es! Do you want to live forever?

You may have a point Urizen.

Still like others I have seen racism everywhere. Living here though it does seem pretty bad. Though it is probably just the general area. Other parts of KY I have lived in here better than it is here.

Then again I remember stopping for gas once in Chicago and was unnerved because after I went into the gas station and paid I was followed to the car by 3 or 4 guys. Admittedly I was one white guy in a seemingly black neighborhoold but it was just kinda creepy.

Same thing happened in California I was driving up to Sacramento from LA and passed through a small town and seemingly the entire town stopped what they were doing and watched me drive down the road stop and get gas and leave.

Maybe none of this was seen the same way by the other people and it was all in my head. It wouldn't be the first time something felt off and I was the only one to blame.

Now for a glass of that whiskey.

How can Kentucky produce such great whiskey and such terrible people at the same time?

It isn't that uncommmon here. I think maybe its a requirement to make good whiskey.

Meh. I would prefer something different but who knows I will keep an eye on it.

Now to win millions invest just because.

Jessica as a Gray Maiden.

Loved it.

That's ok. People can name their children whatever they want to.

This is true but they should consider what that name is going to do to a child. Sorry but some names are just crazy.

I mean I have met someone named Ted E. Bayer. That is just cruel.

Never heard of Michaels... off to search the webs

EDIT: that would be because there isn't one within 80 miles.

I have been looking for a large flat storage case/carrier to keep all my maps in but haven't been able to find anything of the proper size.

Does anyone here have any idea where I can find one?

I don't really have a game night. I get 5 hours every other week from 1 till 6. Four kids at young ages means little game time.

However, in a few years I won't have to leave home to game.

Don't burn it. Sell all of it to me for a ridiculously low price.

Do it for the kid, damnitall.

If things don't get better in a few months I may have to do that.

I hadn't realized what Tiamat was going for these days. Maybe I need to get rid of some minis.

Now this has nothing to do with my son staying awake. I am positive that none of the books in the home could cause his problems. Then again maybe I should just burn the house down. Then I would know for sure that nothing in or of the house is the problem.

I was just joking there. Human sacrifice should only be practiced by consenting adults.

So I shouldn't have given my son the Dagger of Vashna and let him complete the last sacrifice?

I was thinking more of creating a secret society to funnel ill-gotten gains to expand my hedonistic empire.

That would work too. Better yet if your an attention hog, stir up beliefs in teenagers and take over a county. So what if someone takes you out for a time you were ruler of a nation.

The Lucifer Principle - great book!

Yeah it was a good book I have read it twice now and I am now thinking of making a new religion.

NOT!

I don't know if I have more books than you or less, but I do have Barlowe's Inferno, so if I have less that still should put me over you in the insomnia-causing-hellspirits-in-the-books category, so her theory is flawed.

I got Bill Burroughs and Henry Miller too.

Ummm well according to her most of my novels would have to go. For some reason she didn't like, "The Lucifer Principle" moreso than the rest. Oh well they are good neighbors just a little weird over things like that.

Worse mental disturbed people, or just worse naive-bordering-stupid-superstition/popular-wisdoms?

Is your wife one of us (gamers/fantasy/sf-fans) or one of the mundanes?

Both of the above.

The wife is kind of in the middle. She loves Munchkin and plays every now and then.

You should drown it in holy water, then burn and then bury the ashes in unmarked grave on unconsecrated ground while screaming ia! ia! cthulhu fthaghan! It is the only way to be sure!

I may have to consider this. After having her read some of those works.

I find it funny because I work in a field where I see much worse everyday.

Well my 2 and 1/2 year old son has been waking up recently and not being satisfied until the wife or myself lay down with him long enough to go to sleep.

The funny thing is when my wife told our neighbor his wife stated that it's because I have D&D minis and books in the house. She assured my wife that if she would just gather all that stuff together and burn it that my son would then sleep soundly all night.

She knows this because when her son was 16-18 back in the late 70's he started having nightmares and thinking that his D&D things were talking to him. So she burnt them and he never had those problems again.

So my question is should I burn all my gaming gear or just laugh in her face?

*Joking, there is no way I am getting rid of my stuff. My son would kill me since he plays with the Gargantuan Dragons all the time. Just had to post because it was funny*

Disco is Dead

Yoink!! Have to grab a few of these.

Not sure why you had to ask me this but I suppose I should tell.

You see we have experimented heavily with flying cars and have found them very detrimental to life.

It seems not everyone is prepared to have the choice of up,down, left, right etc.. The redneck boy we let test drive dumped all of his friends out of the back while trying to go mudding while flying.

The other experiments were no better.

In fact of every person we let test drive only one group seemed to be capable of surviving. It seems that anyone over the age of 70 doesn't drive fast enough even in the air to really cause a problem. (There were a few exceptions who flew too high and crashed.)

Therefore, for the benefit of humanity we have decided to pursue teleportation instead.

I will update you on that in 100 years.

Yeah I know I haven't been surprising you lately guess I will have to try a few new things.

Dry it up already

Just because I can. Told you I would watch what you post Jake. Now I know everything. Good thing for you I went out and have been drinking so I will probably not remember this.

Response 1: And that would be different from all the other encounters...how? (I generally don't run just fly around)

Response 2: Considering the +20 attack and +14 bonus damage (twice), you're just lucky it was a mindless construct, otherwise, wizard puree.... true but I also should have had a chance to hang onto the porch and I can take two hits around it just not anymore. LOL

Response 3: I like your wife and didn't want her to have to listen to you cry all the way home. :P
Nah she is used to it I always whine about how mean you are in game.

The other four members of the party were not so lucky, however. The trample maneuver (6th lvl PCs for APL +3, btw) was sick. Round one, party's horses ground into paste, with all PCs taking a major hit. Round two, the PCs tried to scatter, but the "hut" was just too fast. Everyone below half. No one could make the save DC.

The wizard finally nova'd and saved the day.

When the "hut" finally went down, the players actually stood and cheered. Thanks again for the help.

Hey now I had 14 whole HP left and only got hit with the trample though I admit I ran like Hell

Sixth Grade my brother had brought the great big red box with all of the little cardstock minis and I do believe had Bargle in it. He wanted to run through it once before he ran it for his friends. So he made me play it. Been going ever since.

The only thing I don't like about the short stories is that I get just enough that I love it and then it stops. Its killing me. Then again that is probably the plan.

Damn I always wondered what it would be like to be inside 10-15 women at once. Now I find out that not only have I done I have also experienced it with men. Though being that close together I hereby claim I was just prison gay!

Crap now my dog is within 10 ft of me. I am a sick sick man.

I remember someone saying that they added a teleport circle from Skulls Crossing back to the Catacombs of Wrath or Old Light.

This may actually get me to sign up for pathfinder fiction.

Great story.

Now I just have to see if I can squeeze this in between buying diapers.

You guys do realize I only have so many organs to sell so that I can buy books, right?

Now what do I not need anymore.

Still not able to download. Argh!!!

:(

You all suck. Anyone want to watch the 4 kids long enough for me to go to the theater?

Damn...

Aw crap now you made me feel emotions.

:)

Tequila can solve that.

Reading all of these makes me remember so much that I have managed to do that was decent. Yet, it also brings up some of the things I probably shouldn't have done. Such is life.

One of my favorite quips from anyone in the military. (Concerning some Boyscouts on a military base.)

Female Interviewer: So, General what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

General: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FI: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

Gen: I don't see why, They'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FI: don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching to children?

Gen: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FI: But you're equipping them to become violent killers!

Gen: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

*Silence and interview ended*

That was a truly honorable and decent thing to do. It sounds like you have no regrets about it, either. Count yourself a good man.

No regrets, and I count myself a decent man. I'm working on the good part.

Then again maybe that's why every video game I play that has a variable alignment system I always end up Super Good.

I was driving by my local park and saw a dude screaming and yelling at his girlfriend and generally acting in a menacing manner. As I went by he hit her with a backhand to the face. I stopped and interposed myself between them while I called the cops. The dude tries to get at her, I get in the way and get hit. I shove him back away from me and the girl. She hits me in the back of the head. Cops come after 5 minutes of me trying to avoid getting hit by them both and try to arrest me. She was mad at me for interfering with her relationship and calling the cops on them. Cops get the story and arrest both of them and let me go.

I think that qualifies as "no good deed goes unpunished".

Been there as well. Except the guy slung her heavily adorned key chain at her. I caught and stepped between them. He threatened along the lines of I'm bigger than you and I'll kick your ____. I responded with maybe but I promise you I'll give as good as I take. He sulked and then left. She walks off without even a thank you.

The biggest good deed I ever managed was on the way home for a 4 day weekend while I was in the Marines. I had just got my enlistment bonus and was planning one hell of a weekend. However, I stop at some middle of nowhere gas station to fill up and as I am leaving town I see this family standing on the sidewalk watching the firefighters put out what was left of their house. I inquired as to whos house had burnt and the father with tears in his eyes said it was their home. So I got out some money and gave it to them and said it was just a little something to help. I got in my car and was about to drive away when the dad rushes up and says he can't take it. I told him to take it because he would put it to better use than I would. He asked my name and I told him it didn't matter, said goodbye and drove away.

I still have no idea who they were but I am sure most people aren't used to strangers walking up and giving them a thousand dollars then leaving without dropping a name. I have never told anyone outside of family and close friends about it. I try to good as much good as I can. As my father used to say, "A man is only as good as his name." I may tend to come off as an a-hole but I just try to do the best I can. That one event however has always stood out in my mind. I have no idea why I did it. It's not like I really wanted to but it just felt like the right thing to do.

In the end I hope it helped them out and I wish I could manage to do it more often.

Acquire and ninja suit and sneak through the vents. You might be able to find some good stuff.

I am a puppet sock. With Googly eyes.

Thank you Seeker

Noon is cool with me. Sorry haven't been home.

Still plan on being there at 1 but some family stuff has come up and I will have to leave after 30 min or so.
