Whenever someone tried to hand me their baby, I just shake my head and say "No thanks, I'm a vegetarian."

People rarely try to hand me a baby while I'm nekkid.

For years I was with T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan, paying $100/year ($8.66/month) for 1000 minutes that I never used. Other cell phone companies would call and say, "We bet we can save you money! How much do you pay for your current mobile plan?"
When I answered, they'd just hang up.

By the time I switched to Verizon, I had over 3500 minutes saved up. I just don't use my phone all that often. People who call me on it or text me just don't know me very well.

So yeah, I'm paying a comparatively ludicrous amount for Verizon (roughly $38/device per month), but considering Impus Minor and NobodysWife are burning through 2 GB of data per month, plus thousands of minutes in calls, I figure if I were paying T-Mobile for similar service for their phones I'd probably be paying nearly as much.

(My favorite part is that the base fee is ludicrous, but then each additional phone is just $10/month. So technically I'm paying barely more than I was for T-Mobile...)

EDIT: And I have to admit, hearing all the nightmare stories about Verizon tech support makes me happy to have the corporate plan. I think I mentioned it before, but when a friend was complaining about how bad Verizon was and I said, "Wow, they always answer on the first or second ring for me," we compared numbers.

And of course Global Megacorporation has its own Verizon hotline. Kinda figures, but it was still funny learning that the fantastic support I was receiving was NOT normal...

Computer. And, after trying to download individual files, I got an error message stating it's on their end.

So, there's that.

So, Orthos and I sat down to discuss what we had to work with for writing story content and such, aaaaand we came up with twelve full 6-part adventure ideas, about half of which already had at least a partial outline.

My adventure involves a giant worm called He Who Feeds, and a mysterious cowled wizard who appears in crowds, seemingly unnoticed by the people all around him.

Sadly, no. Most Native Floridians have evolved/mutated to reproduce by budding, spores, assimilation, infectious bites, and similar avenues. A Darwin Award winner in Florida would likely need to use a copious area-effect of high-heat fire and sterilizing radiation.

How many new Ambys do we get per bite? Also, do I become some kind of immobile zombie-like Ambyhive or do I retain my Freeholdiness?

I seem to be immune so far to catching the F-Virus, likely from being an outsider. However, Amby Slaad-spawn have a high tolerance for Alton Brown and high-heat + high-humidity environments, and a low-tolerance for cold. Likewise, you will begin to make Driving skill checks as if you were taught by Mr. Toad and the mail carrier from Funny Farm (1988).

Bad Dragon Fight:

  • Sign of the apocalypse #1: The wizard casts a Penetrating, Persistent Disintegrate, blows through the dragon's SR, and on its first Fortitude save it rolled a 2. At +20 to Fortitude and a DC of 23 on the spell, it was... irritating... cue 107 hit points
  • Sign of the apocalypse #2: The fighter with the Lawful Good artifact-level sword fumbled. "Your opponent gains possession of your weapon."
    Cue one negative level for the dragon. WTF?!?!?!?!
  • The end of the apocalypse: The wizard, feeling cocky, fires off another Piercing Disintegrate. The dragon rolls... another natural 2! Another 126 points of damage, the dragon dissolves into dust, and the party concludes that ancient black dragons really aren't so dangerous after all.

    Also, I think my dice are sad that I'm not GMing now. We started Ruins of Azlant yesterday (I'm playing a Monk based on Macho Man Randy Savage), and the best roll I got all night was an 18 on an Initiative check. My best attack roll was a 7. So, other than bring the humor, I was very ineffectual.

    Thats sad. Hmm... What would I bring to a potluck? Osmanthus ice jelly? Orange sponge cake?

    Osmanthus ice jelly depends if I can get ice jelly powder in the states. Not to mention the Osmanthus flowers. Again I could do green tea ice jelly or lemongrass ice jelly.

    You know when you get right down to it, I don't really cook that much that when you ask me about a main dish I start drawing blanks?

    Yeah I'm more of a cakes/desert person but I can do a decent job marinating chicken wings.

    I could try party beehoon but it's been a while since I've done that, or I could go cook up some spaghetti.

    The Exchange

    You see I don't know if it's a curse or blessing to KNOW foods, in the sense I know what you shouldn't do with certain foods.

    For example a lot of Chinese cuisine emphasizes on eating the food piping hot, so on potluck those dishes aren't that a good idea.

    Like steamed fish tends to get fishy once it cools, so doing that for potluck is definitely out. The stuff that is easier on takeaway would be braised/stewed pork, which requires 3 hours minimum pre-stewing time.

    I could do stir fried catfish in dark soya sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli, but again I don't know how much spice the average American can take.

    There's always the sambal catfish but that is seriously spicy.

    The funny thing is I can marinate chicken wings for a barbecue, but the cooking part... Urm. I haven't done it yet? Yeah I've certainly got some gaps in my culinary education.

    Otherwise we could do stir fried broccoli with scallops/limpets, I suppose.

    I don't really care about under/over powered. That's all relative anyways. I wanted to play a pro-wrestler, and so I am. When the GM asked me why my character was on the expedition to Azlant I told her: [Randy Savage voice] "The masters of my order sent me to find proof that our style of unarmed combat originated in Ancient Azlant, thus giving us a leg up on our rival order, the Luchadors."
