Political Wizard _ Malcolm Tucker: "We need to persuade Matt Delaney not to cross the floor. I think we should use the carrot-and-stick approach, yeah. You take a carrot, you stick it up his f!cking arse, followed by the stick, followed by an even bigger, rougher carrot."
One of my technicians just got a phone call from a former work-from-home employee. She's received the shipping labels for all of the equipment she needs to send back, but she needs advice because she's pretty sure the equipment doesn't fit in the same boxes it came in.
....
It won't fit in the box it came in.
...
Perhaps this is why you are now a former employee.
She probably also has a sofa stuck in her staircase* from when she first moved in to her home/apt.
* Edit: "Sofa stuck in her staircase" wasn't intended as innuendo, but eh, whatever works for you.
Sorry, I meant GURPS. Generic Universal Role-Playing System.
Me and the other lizards in the petstore used to play Human Eccentrics Role-Playing System. I was really proud of my 7th level human mailman, Jerry Dorsey. It was a shame when he and the whole party were TPKed in The Ruins of IRS Mountain.
Me: So have you given any more thought to your character for the Azlant campaign?
WW: I have, actually. I've been thinking it would be fun to play a mad Sheltie alchemist.
Me: . . . ?
WW: Not a Sheltie. What's it called? Selkie. That.
Me: Either way.
GothBard still has dreams of writing up a gnome cavalier riding a dire corgi...
Or your gnome cavalier (or alchemist) could be a were-corgi.
Well, Murglethigh season is just around the corner, so brace yourself for the deluge.
It was also the 5687 (we use Pictish dating) Westmoreland Crab Hinting (amalgamated rules) championship yesterday, Mercia vs. Elmet, and there's a lot of bad blood there, let me tell you, dating back to 4725's infamous Huws Grey Charity Shield semi-finals. Some very fine work from Elmet's lower back-side rut-dabbler, but only four groggerlumbs in a full six-hour match is pathetic, considering we're at national level here. You'd expect a better score at a school match.
With a little work, this could easily turn into a sports version of Emo Philips' "Guy on the Bridge" joke.
+1ing the Best Wishes for your dad's recovery, Mr. SupaStah! Badger.

What's unnerving is that, in voicemail, Freehold's voice sounds very similar to the Pseudo-Russian's voice in voicemail. So he could potentially call and pretend to be the pseudo-Russian and possibly fool someone.
This new bit of info totally fits into my preconceptions of Freehold's superpowers.
So a watched quantum pot really never boils? That's deeply, truly weird.
It has a 50 percent chance of being either boiled or unboiled at any given moment.
You two are this close to inventing the first Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser, or at least Advanced Tea Substitute. {wanders off searching for common sense particle}
This book would have been great if it came out within a year from Kingmaker's release but at least we are finally getting something for the First World.
A book's greatness is not dependent on its date of release but on the contents of its pages.
A Sutter book is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to. :)
Heck, Ramsay could spread the word that Theon killed Walda and Roose Jr during his escape with ("kidnapping" of?) Sansa. That could preserve the Bolton alliance with the Freys, and distract the Freys by pitting them against the Iron Islands.
For some reason, my dog was starving yesterday and ate four meals instead of his usual two. Today, he has to go out every two hours. In the snow. And I have the chills.
*sigh*
Initiating Freehold-warming protocols.
I think it's time someone told you that most warm-blooded mammals do not consider 30° F to be "warm." {applies another coating of Pam to scales, flips over on heat rock}
Bye C, I just wanted to say another great showing. I would have said something earlier but you happened to post just as the absinthe was wreaking its vengeance :P
{telepathically sends Drejk idea for an "absinthe ooze"}
In double-checking and cleaning up the family tree, I had to bid farewell to Harald Hardratta as an ancestor. There's no evidence beyond people's fancies on ancestry.com. Boy, do those folks get click-happy!
I untangled the mess where one of my female forebears gave birth to a son 100 years before she was born. Yeesh, people, read the dates! You skipped a few generations!
I still haven't figured out how my great-great-great grandfather was born two years after his mother died. Might be time for the dhampir template.
Did any of your ancestors mention a lanky fellow, rather talky, always meddling, who waved a sonic wand and claimed he traveled in a blue box?
