Heh.

OMG.

I don't know what in the world I was thinking when I posted that. Great reply though, Gary Teter. You had me laughing for like 20 minutes.

Uhh, something "on topic" . . .
I have a dog. . .pretty good dog . . .had to put down her brother because he was too violent. That sucked.

Never owned a cat. Might be interesting.

Currently own two cats (or is they share me?). Both are standard alley types, a 17 year-old curmedgeon appropriately named Beelzebub and an 10 month-old kitten named Buu. Yes, I have a thing about naming my cats after demons.

The last dog I owned was a wonderful German Shepherd named Shen. He was as great a dog as a teenaged boy could own, but constant moving made keeping him impossible.

Being I like large dogs in general, and my current living space is too small, I'll probably stick to cats for now. They can be great critters in their own right. Big B, for instance, knows how to get attention while I'm writing by sitting on my lap and not even daring to touch the keyboard. Buu is learning this.

One interesting side note about these animals. Beelzebub used to have a sister, Nettles. She passed away last year from heart failure. I guess it hit him hard, as for the first few weeks he went around to all her favorite spots looking for her. Then last February he bolted out the door and gave my family a jolly chase trying to find him.

Then, equally out of the blue and four days later, he came back to the house carrying the very young Buu by the neck. She immediately became a part of the house and they are inseparable.

Go figure out the moral to this story on your own. No matter what, I hope to keep her as long as I've had Beelzebub (and I've had him since he was a kitten).

Anyway, I think I'm done with my summer meat binge. Mmmmmm...... veggie burgers.....

Veggie burgers? Thats going too far. They do have a good chicken burger though. And their turkey burger is not bad either

True.

Fatburger will probably still get my turkey burger business.

Hold the relish.

Ah heck, if beef is getting to be too much for you, show your true manhood and slaughter a buffalo. Now buffalo Burgers are just to kill for.

Think I spent too much time in Texas last weekend.

Actally, I was attending the Pokemon TCG World Championship, which was held the same time, but in Disneyworld, next to the EPCOT Center.

Yes, it was a surreal experience, but also very nice in its own way. What REALLY impressed me was the number of entire families who went to the event. End result? An atmosphere that wasn't as negatively competitive and unfriendly as other national championships I've been too.

It also didn't hurt that Hasbro, who was part of this whole affair, put on an interesting side show where kids could do things like have their photos taken with Pikachu, try miscellaneous skill stuff (spin the wheel, hit a target with a bean bag, etc), even a small stage where kids would dance with Treecko.

So yeah, I had a nightmare of a big black mouse in red shorts going up against a thunderbolt hurling yellow one, but that's my fractured psyche. I also saw a couple tons of very happy kids (both over and under 21) there. That adds up to something.

P.S. Nicest touch...all the game designers imported from Japan had to run around in lab coats like Professor Oak.

So the biggest gaming convention of the year is this weekend in Indianapolis. Many of my excellent Paizo compatriots are arriving there today. Be sure to stop by the Paizo booth and see them if you are lucky enough to be going!

Meanwhile, let's hear from everyone...

What's the buzz at Gen Con this year?

What are the coolest new games?

Let's hear it!
