When you're on something like a motorcycle (or bicycle), you sometimes have to be obnoxious with vehicles like buses, otherwise they will hit you, kill you, say they didn't see you, and be believed in court.

So to add to this week's fun there appears to be something wrong with our modem. So that's tomorrow down the drain while trying to deal with the evil Comcast. And hopefully it will be fixed then. Two days of no wifi already sucks. >.<

I gave up dealing with Comcast. When I got my new place I ran the line and set up my own equipment after hanging up on Comcast's Indian tech call lines after the third person who couldn't understand English. I had internet in a few hours rather than the month plus Comcast would have taken.

I live in an apartment. Choices are for people who live in houses. Apparently. But the internet is back online so I'm guessing this was yet another round of our tech messed the box up again when switching on/shutting off your neighbor's service. Happens. At least it wasn't the modem again so I don't have to spend tomorrow driving to the service center to exchange it for a new one.

Both vehicles were turning right. As somebody with a motorcycle license (albeight a new one), I do not view wedging a bike between a bus and a curb with barely any clearance as anything other than obscenely dangerous.

You know that torurer in the beginning of Skyrim, when you escape execution via dragon attack? I was following the Imperial guy to escape, and the torturer was saying so much stuff that made me angry. So I bashed his face in with a warhammer, and his assistant and the guy I was following didn't even react. They must not like that guy, either.

This. I do it for cakes and such. Just cut off a piece of cold butter and smear it on with your fingers until it is coated. It will change your life :)

In the above post, I am glad it is clear I am talking about bakeware. Absent that reference, the last two sentences sound like something else entirely.

Where are these people? I'm always short of mugs.... Also define unrealistically huge? Like it's really a soup bowl? Cause....those are actually pretty awesome.

All those, plus booze.

Morning FaWtLanteans. Hope everyone is well today, has a lovely day ahead, and a great weekend after that. :) Very frosty today, even more so than yesterday, if it keeps going at this rate, I'll be ice-skating to work next week. :P

Rainy and warm here. I will try to heat up New York. I figure that if Freehold DM requests it, who am I to deny him the lovely warm weather.

The only thing that has changed is that I can no longer hold onto things.

You gotta leave the wrapper on the butter stick when you do it, coffee filters also work great at coating pans and such.

Maybe I need a Martha Stewart-esque alias.


Not a fan of Origin. By no means the worst, but just mildly frustrating on occasion is enough.

Does anyone else have the same hatred of Prius drivers that I do? I find they drive fast to get in front of you then slow down to slower than the speed limit and always seem so damn entitled on the road. Arghhhhhhh don't like them much. Sorta like a BMW driver but slower and not as nice a car.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I like them, they let me know I need to switch lanes.

Plus, if there's a burgundy Prius not driven by an old guy in a button down shirt listening to public radio on his way to Trader Joe's I haven't seen it.

Ah if only they were only on the highways but what about when they are driving on the side roads and there is no way to pass?

Yeah Prius and Smart cars I hate those damn things even worse. Would never catch me driving one of those death traps.

I tend to be more of a Zen driver (which you have to be when you drive a big ass truck with a skidder and trailer hooked up).

Not much you can do to piss me off when I'm driving, except, you know, hit me.

It's human nature... Or at least human driving nature.

I have seen drivers typically speed up when you try to pass them whether they want to drive slow or not. They automatically try to get around the car ahead of them simply because they want to be in front again whether or not they intend to drive slow. And they close ranks when you move to change lanes, because of course you should always be behind them not in front of them.

Yeah that's not good driving that is annoying driving and I find Prius drivers do it more than others.

We got snow.

We also got spam, advertising a website featuring friendly ladies with no clothes on, many of whom, apparently I probably know, want to meet one for sexeh timez. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but the message ends with:

Spoiler:

"We have free slots open for new male members for a limited time only"

Which I thought was very good advertising.

As a marketing guru, it's not bad. I would probably go with something like "We have too many hawt females needing dates men needed immediately!

Well at least the forecast says our high for Sunday might get up to 0 degrees, might.

But yesterday they were saying our high would be -4. So 0 looks pretty sweet. :-)

-4 would be better though.....

Ideally, it would be 25-34 degrees all winter with 2-4 inches of snow every 3-4 days.

You and me both.


So, concept of an idea in-development, at present:

Carrion Crown to Creeping Curse: an Egyptian Flavor of CC

I'm working on a Word Document, and have Haunting at Harrowstone as finished as it would need to be for my purposes, though I suppose it's not fit for human consumption (by any other than me and my diseased mind).

It... isn't really that, hard, surprisingly.

EDIT: for tag-fixing.

Our group is doing Carrion Crown: The Scooby-Doo Gang.

Fred is a Paladin, Velma a Cleric, Daphne a Sorceress, Shaggy an Alchemist with a construct familiar, and Scooby is an awakened dog using orc stats.


I want to go in a Ghostbusters direction myself, the end practically asks for it, I already did it as Harry Potter, that works really good, but coming up with the faculty and fellow students took some time.

And Scrappy? This is a jo- I say a joke, Son!

(I'm guessing the construct is the Mystery Van?)

((That's awesome, by the way.))

That is super awesome, especially using Orc stats as Scooby, brilliant TOZ, simply brilliant. :-)

*puts away the pitchfork* My first response when my wife mentioned the idea was "I'm not playing Scrappy."

You are correct on both counts. I got Daphne because that was the only character left by the time I heard about it.


I'm also thinking of Council of Thieves and Serpent Skull. As a "local" trio with appropriately Egyptian flare, the three actually work fairly well for a series of "local" issues under the over-all reimagining.

For the record, I'm thinking of this pretty much exclusively due to our Blue Rose game and the concept of Hamunaptra across the Western Ocean. I'm... exceptionally unlikely to run those all as BR-related things, though, or even a full AP.

One of the things is that I can easily terms of events to work well within the contexts of the local world (in which case it becomes mostly a matter of flavor and terms), but there are a few mechanical things I need to work out... and compare PF rules to any BR rules and their changes. Also some 3.X things.

Yeah I'm playing Shaggy, Alchemist, with the construct rider archetype (which of course that is the Mystery Machine). I also took whatever Alchemist archetype (can't remember off the top of my head) that allows me to share my mutagen at half strength with allies (that's the Scooby Snacks).

I'm using the Shaggy minifigure and Mystery Machine minifigure from the new Lego dimensions game - it has a spot directly on top where I can have Shaggy sit when he's 'mounted'.

So ridiculously awesome!
