Worthwhile!
Cute. Thank you for the preview of my life once the little one gets on her feet.

Ugh. Seems that cold war between my spine and the evil bed/mattress alliance is escalating into full all-out war on beds by my spine.
*yawn*
And today I can't try to nap more in the day in random positions because I am going to give a short lecture about "Communication Around Game" on club meeting and later have a birthday party. And the three-four hour space between is not enough to go back home and get a nap.
I'll be half asleep for a large part of today...

i thought i woke up early!
said the guys thats been up since 5:25 to get some peace, quiet and coffee, lots and lots of coffee:-)
Tiny T-Rex is an early riser, so i gotta really push it if i want some peace, can't ask the wife that works full-time to wake up early on the weekends, that would be mean, i'm not mean:-)

One of my favorite moments at this place was having two days off in a row and getting a phone call on the next day asking where I was........turns out they changed the schedule on the first day of the two. Then when I told them I was off the day before so how was I supposed to know it was changed thewir response was priceless. Thye asked why "I" didn't call them to see if it changed....I was speechless me speechless....that never happens I just stood there on the phone completly baffled....then I found out I was marked as late to work that day. [EXPLETIVE DELETED] [EXPLETIVE DELETED] [EXPLETIVE DELETED] [EXPLETIVE DELETED]....thus the search for new employment.

I used to read, like, 100 webcomics a day. I had/have a bunch of folders in my bookmarks bar, and would/do just click "Open all in tabs", and go through them folder by folder. I eventually cut back a lot. Apparently you guys had other ideas though. :P
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, MSPA, Widdershins, True Magic, Gunnerkrigg Court, OOTS, Paranatural
Darths & Droids, Friendship Is Dragons, Erfworld, Goblins, Weregeek, Dr. McNinja, Schlock Mercenary, Sluggy Freelance, Captain SNES
Girl Genius, Supernormal Step, Misfile
Girls With Slingshots
Menage A 3, Oglaf, Milkmare Of Trottingham, Cookie And Brann, Norse, Cyanide And Happiness, Eunnieboo (I think I linked this to the wrong place, but don't know what the right one is :P) , Hugecartoons, The Zombie Hunters
Snarl Bear, The Only Living Boy
Bolded ones I have already (or recently) read, and survived my cut back previously. I'm adding all the others to new folders to check out. Talking of though, no mention of Dominic Deegan : Oracle For Hire? Or that author's new project, Star Power? No Quantum Vibe, or Grrl Power? Hark, A Vagrant, Namesake, XKCD, Spying With Lana (FHDM special recommendation), The Specialists, Nerf Now, Guilded Age, Dead Winter, SMBC, LFG, Prequel, Romantically Apocalyptic, El Goonish Shive, Questionable Content, or Kill Six Billion Demons?
If I'm going down, I'm taking you all with me! :P

Scint and I actually met on a Dominic Deegan fan-forum. I got lured there by the Keenspot ad featuring the sheer massive cast (particularly the cool design on the guy who ended up being The Infernomancer, who I will admit is one of the author's better-looking characters); Scint got a recommendation to check it out due to her love of puns and showed up by way of the Keenspot forum a month or two after I did.
Granted, given the comic was not exactly great and got worse as it went on (it was pretty universally agreed, at least amongst most people I spoke to on the subject, that DD should have ended after the "Storm of Souls" arc or the one immediately following, rather than dragging on for several more years), most of the "fandom" there was there less for the comic and more for the community of people we'd gathered. Hell, the MSPA/Homestuck and Gunnerkrigg Court threads we had there got significantly more discussion than the token DD threads.
Given all that, there was very little attention given when DD eventually ended. I remember vaguely a passing mention of him starting up a new comic with a different artist but never had much drive to check it out.
That said, I think I have Grrl Power in my favorites somewhere but haven't checked up on it since my initial archive binge as the author was on a hiatus when I caught up. XKCD is one of those things I get linked to and check out a bit at a time every now and then; ditto with Hark! A Vagrant. QC also gets linked at me from time to time by friends, but has never really hooked me enough to get me to read it on my own.
Used to follow LFG and EGS but have since lost interest.
Oh! One I forgot to mention - Wilde Life. That I got started on not too long ago.

Yeah, the puns weren't even good or decently groan-worthy. The strip slay edits thread, though...that and meeting people were about the only positives to come of that trainwreck.
Seconding Wilde Life. I got linked to it from her old comic, and holy mother of God, the difference in her art is AMAZING.

Oh gods strip slays were so so fun.
But yeah, DD is in a backhanded way pretty much responsible for me meeting one of my best friends ever, so I have to thank him for that at least.

They really were! And you had the two kinds of slayers - those who found a joke and ran it into the ground with about 10 a post and then the ones who were less active but exremely creative.

I still have a couple of mine on photobucket. I'll dig them up and post them here when I get home.
Good grief, if I remember right, it was around 2005 or 2006 when we joined. It's been almost ten years.

Ohgod, I deleted mine out of shame. I keep trying to forget, and I'm not suited for drinking it away.

Finally caught a little time to catch up on the paizo forums. Nice to see appearances by Mairk and Rawr! Work has been kept me quite busy between inventory and shipping 80% of the month's shipments on the last day of the month. (I really need to work on this).
Now off to look at property. 67 miles to work one way is getting a little old, especially when working 12 hours per day on top of it.
Hopefully catch up on PbPs later this weekend.

I had forgotten about this picture until my uncle David posted it on FB yesterday:
Wisconsin State Assemblyman David E. Clarenbach and Leonard Nimoy, circa mid-late-1970s

Do not drink with Poles. They will pump you with alcohol until you die. Or at least get sick. Especially during a birthday party.
Seconded. I've only gotten sick from drinking twice in my life. The second time was drinking with my Russian/Polish buddy two Christmases ago. We killed a quart of Rex Goliath, a pint of Jameson, and three pints of Russian Standard. I was completely f@~*ed, but Alex was completely fine.
