STOP GIVING DREJK MORE HORRIFYING IDEAS FOR MAKING MORE HORRIFYING CRITTERS!!!
The funny thing is is that Orthos' exact response to the hobkins comment I made earlier was "I hate that I want to stat this."
The Irradiated template exists and we do have plans for a plot later that takes place in the ground zero of where some archangel magic-nuked a dragon.

...oh, dear. Are you sure that was one of ours?

EDIT: awwww, you fixed it

NobodysHome: Oh, are you working on your psychology homework?

Impus Major: No, I'm working on a comparative chart of things to wipe your butt with. From top to bottom is "adhesive" to "slippery", and from left to right is, "abrasive" to "smooth".
That's going to cost some points.
Does it count against me that I pointed out that "live rabbits" was missing from his chart?
Crowley, I think the ineffable plan's gotten a bit effable!
Sorry mate, this one is so very not my department.

Well, it certainly isn't one of ours!

Operation Get Us Off This Crumbling Space Rock always has had a bit of a Faustian connotation...
I heard Alpha Centauri is nice this time of year.

Oh, we may as well. The operas have all closed.

I tried asking a doctor for advice, but all I got was "not that kind of doctor," "what are you doing outside," and "get up the stairs, the Daleks are coming." Weirdo.
WE WOULD NOT STOOP SO LOW AS TO RE-LY ON BI-O-LO-GI-CAL WAR-FARE! OUR TRA-DI-TION-AL ARM-A-MENTS ARE PER-FECT-LY SUF-FI-CIENT FOR EX-TER-MIN-AT-ING YOUR SPE-CIES!

Well, this isn't ideal.

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuun
Now check for a guest named Aziraphale. If they were both at the same time, prepare for apocalypse.

Vile slander! I have been to many places, and the world has never yet ended. Harumph!

Not our problem, Angel.

But it's going to bother me! I'll know it's there.

So, I'm interested in other people's takes on this, so I'll try to report just the facts and see what people think:

(1) GothBard's company invited her to a "team building" picnic and requested an RSVP, which she happily accepted
(2) Once she had responded, she was assigned to one of four "teams" and told that the four teams would be competing in a series of events, and the winning team would receive "trash talking rights" and a trophy for winning
(3) At a meeting on Tuesday the various team members were already eagerly trash talking each other
(4) This morning the trophy showed up: A 5' hunk of bling the winning team would get to put up in the office and boast about for the rest of the year

So... thoughts?

They think a bunch of programming nerds need physical exercise?

I don't hate these things. I don't specifically like them either.

Basically the parts I actually hate tend to come down to most non-jocks' memories of recess and/or PE or just passing through the school halls in our younger years. It's not as bad in the workplace, most of the time, but it still happens.

But...

It gets people out of the office to help burn off stress, which is sometimes more important than any other stated goal.

If they do more of these, it should be balanced out with other kinds of activities, like escape rooms or a day at a high-speed driving school or whatever.

Or paintball!

Ah, yes, of course. All a bit ineffable, really.
