I've also been enjoying the last several episodes. As for this past Monday:

** spoiler omitted **

Well I always liked "Rebel" and knew who they were from the git go really wasn't hard to figure out. And the other person you mentioned is probably the only one of that gender on the show who didn't annoy me. So yeah not happy with that development.

Hopefully that wasn't spoilerish of me, though honestly how can you have a thread discussing a show and constantly have to worry about spoiler warnings and or hiding them? Never really bought into the whole idea. If you don't want to be spoiled don't read such threads.

So you would keep free speech but eliminate debate, offense and or outrage? Well good luck with that one. There will always be voices that annoy you if you give everyone a chance to say whatever they want. But it's like Robert Frost said, "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper."

I have pointed teeth. Pointed teeth are used to rend flesh. Therefore I eat meat. Just how I was made to be. Eat what you want but there is this thing called the food chain and we are part of it. And yes I hope the maggots do enjoy me after I am dead. I would prefer being eaten by say wolves but I don't think they'll honor that request.

I don't know why McCain and Palin both laid down on these things.

McCain's on the ropes now.
Our only hope now is that the great Republic of Texas can secede.

Happy trails there hoss! Don't let the door hit ya on yer backside on the way out pardner.

John McCain is pulling out of America, according to two unnamed Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play.

McCain will go off TV in America, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive countries, including Russia, England and France.

A McCain aide confirmed the move and chalked it up to America's Democratic tilt and the resources Obama had put in place there.

"It was always a long shot for us to win," said the aide.

McCain will now turn his attention to bolstering his defenses in England and France while putting more resources into Russia, Germany, Italy and the Virgin Islands, where there are more votes available.

Obama's campaign offered a muted response to McCain's decision to abandon America, only promising to keep it in the Democratic column.

"We will continue to fight for every vote in America, because middle class families there just cannot afford more of the same," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

Republicans had been bullish on America, hopeful that McCain's past success in the country in the 2000 primary combined with voter dissatisfaction with the Democratic Congress and skepticism among blue-collar voters about Barack Obama could make it more competitive.

But recent polls have shown Obama extending what had been a small lead, with the economic crisis damaging an already sagging GOP brand in a nation whose economy is in tatters.

A McCain event planned for next week in America has been canceled.

We should ALL be so lucky...

I'll give this to them. They seem to have watched the Discovery Channel at some point. Not enough to make Gnolls actively matriarchal the way hyenas are but enough to touch on myths of hermaphroditism.

Yeah and btw DO NOT Google Hyena's and hermaphroditism. It's pretty gross dude.

I love the comments on this.

...

I think there is something else here though. Look at the order of ability scores:

If my comments caused any harm or hurt to the hard working Americans who play Dungeons & Dragons, I apologize. This campaign is committed to increasing the strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores of every American.

That's 4e not 3.5. What McCain's camp is really secretly trying to tell us is that McCain is pro-4e! Whether this gains him votes or loses them is another question.

I like this one a lot too...

I was going to speculate on McCain's character class, but then I realized he has neither. *hits drums*

What is your education level?

I have a Masters Degree in Applied Math.

I dropped out of High School and work overnights at a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Laugh if you want but if you shop there you owe me thanks for keeping your precious Frosted Strawberry Poptarts stocked. I mean what has your fancy Masters degree ever done for the general public anyways? See I am making a difference man!

However I did take an online IQ Test that told me I had like a 136 or something. For whatever that's worth, probably nothing.

In a recent Call of Cthulhu campaign that just wrapped up, my girlfriend played a gay cowboy from Texas. I kept waiting for her character to hit on my ruggedly handsome, pudgy French linguist, but sadly that never occurred. :\
That's because he wasn't a cunning liguist. ;)

Umm they would both be males so yeah that joke doesn't really work but yeah.

Anyhow I suppose I would be called a transvirtual. I'm not offended by the word or anything. My reasons for always playing female chars are many and varied. To put it simply it is just more interesting for me. I am up front about it and don't try to actually pass myself off as female in real life or anything as that is a bit extreme and not fair to other players, who may get wrong impressions etc.

As to the why I do this, it may be that most of my heroes in history, my personal life and in pop culture (video games TV music and movies) are female.

I suggested "Valiant Femmes" as all the PCs, mine included, are female. Amazingly enough everyone agreed and so it was. Inspired mainly by the classic band Violent Femmes of course.
