I love my family:

(From Discord)
Impus Minor: also HAPY BIRTHDAY FATHER
NobodysHome: LOL. I was wondering whether either of you would remember. Thank you!
Where's my banana and my penny?!?!
(GothBard reacts with :laughing:)
Impus Minor: THATS FATHERS DAY YOU GREEDY BASTARD
(GothBard reacts with :rofl:)
NobodysHome: That's tomorrow, then.

Hats off to me elders. You are a couple or three weeks older than me.( Freehold may do the maths, but I don’t.)

Extra entertainment on my ride today. Visible flames from the forest fire on the rim wall, and a Chinook helicopter was bucketing water from the sewer plant. Glad it didn’t drip on me.

Woah! A ninja. That’s unusual.


Yeah, Sonic has tater tots. I haven’t been to Sonic in a while. I wonder if they still have ’Cog-o dogs there.

It wasn’t the help that changed. It was the quality of the ingredients. When the BK first opened the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and the patties were real ground beef. Later the toppings not so fresh, and the patties didn’t seem to be made of beef.

When Burger King first came to the town where I grew up. Mid to late eighties this was. Their burgers were pretty darn good. I went to a Burger King in another town nearby, and their burgers were horrible. Then in time the burgers in my hometown Burger King degraded to inedible.
Same thing for Wendy’s, except their burgers always remained semi edible.


Ja.


My Reign of Winter cleric with one level of slayer had the best perception and sense motive in the group. With Alertness, of course. Studied target is useable with sense motive. The Druid had second best perception.
Not really the original plan but I ended up being in the front line of combat because the melee player dropped out. The other characters were quite a bit more squishy.
Because Reign of Winter , I took a rank in bluff, always the plan with that is to do aid other support. (In so many games I’ve been in I’ve ended up being the primary face when I just thought to be support. Play by post seems like the high charisma player is the first to quit.)
True, we only played to third level before the game died, but that level of slayer was nothing but good. I really don’t think that missing out on one level of cleric was going to matter much.

Ooo! A miniature that looks like Jimmy Hoffa, with wee concrete shoes...

Or D.B. Cooper! Do they make D.B. Cooper minis?

Dang, so many possibilities...

Could probably find a tiny replica of a Mini Cooper. (They are made by BMW these days. (The car, not the replica.))


D&D 3.5 actually made it somewhat more difficult to take a 1 level dip. You had to have the right race for your favored class, or you took a XP penalty.

Great, now I have that Frank Zappa song going ‘round in my head. No, not that one, the one from Joe’s Garage.


Great, now we have to dig through all the fighter archetypes to find one that trades tower shield proficiency out for something useful to a druid.

;)

Beast Boy takes the form of carnivorous animals. It doesn’t make sense that he would be a vegetarian. I’m not familiar enough with the franchise to know what the rationale was though.


No reason not to play a nature fang druid, if that’s what you’re feeling.


The contractor I worked for years ago disposed of some old dynamite by burning it in a campfire. It just burned, no explosion. Didn’t burn super hot either.

Cleric with a 1 level dip into Slayer.
But why?

Slayer gives access to a bunch of class skills. Especially perception. Studied target is good. The boost to your reflex save won’t hurt. Access to martial weapons. +1BAB. And the cleric has excellent spell casting.


So peanut butter is none of those things?

I shall unlearn this knowledge. It will only bring about my downfall.


It has been said that skunks and cats interbreed. Beware that you don’t end up with some skitties…

We were promised a thunderstorm. No bloody sign of it, though, and it can't come quickly enough, if you ask me.

Apparently I got your thunder storm. Yup, it rained yesterday. Completely uncharacteristic for this time of year around here.


Work, parsnips, grandparents that lived through the Great Depression. I had me some grilled chicken and Boneyard RPM and listening to songs that are titled In the letter A.
Not too bad.

We went out to eat while in New Orleans. I had a catfish poor boy. Pretty good. I had catfish years ago and didn’t much care for it. I decided to try it again, and found it quite enjoyable. I wanted to try the local brew. The dude said they had an IPA, so that’s what I went for. He brought out a Lagunita. Yeah, that’s a local beer. If you’re in Petaluma.
The amber probably would have been local…

The proof is literally in the pudding, because I baked it in there. With love.

Not the actual proof, though. A sort of metaphorical proof. Nor actual pudding either, if we must be precise.

You should tell them, because they should get maintenance to fix it. You don't need to scream at them about it, but definitely inform them. And if it's so loud that you can't sleep, ask to move to another room. That's fine. Just, do it politely.

I appreciate the advice. We stayed in that same hotel about a week earlier. The air conditioning in that room was almost as loud. Thing is, I was traveling in a group of five. We stayed in a two room suite. Lucky me got the couch in kitchen/living area. Also where the AC unit was. The bedrooms were probably tolerable. I did think about seeing if they had a single room available, but we left at 4:00 AM, so I didn’t think it worth the cost.

What is your most reliable body part?

Your fingers. Because you can count on them.

Nude Meg. Ended the White Stripes. Sadness.

Corpses in the water. The Navy was blowing boats out of the water not that long ago. Could be a connection.

In other news, it was cool enough today that I wore the leather jacket when I rode. I had been wearing the mesh jacket.
You say that as if they've stopped.

Right. Yeah, I assume that attention is turned elsewhere. Short attention span, wanders off.

In other news, I should have known that this Rocky Road stout would be disgusting, and it surely is. A thin stout (thin!) with a vague aftertaste of cheap strawberry nougat. Brewed in Armley, presumably in some godforsaken corner of the prison in that particular part of Leeds.

If it makes you feel better, I finished of my last bit of tonic water with tequila. So strange a flavor. I didn’t dump it out though.


Do I care about car color? Yes and no. I definitely have a preference for light gray or tan. My current ride is black which I don’t care much for. It’s a heat sink, and every speck of dirt shows up. Looks real sharp if I’ve just washed it though.

Birthday party for my brother in law. Should be fun. I’m going to bring Pathfinder, but highly unlikely that we play it. Weather expected to be fantastic, so we’ll probably play outside games.

Yeah, all my assets are tied up in Monets, and Titians. It would take a while to liquidate. (An unlikely story.)


Starfinder and the Gap gave me the idea for a post Rovagug breakout Golarion. Well, and Thundarr the Barbarian cartoon. Never did any development on that though.

My wife called to tell me to say that she saw a fox on the way to work. I asked how she knew it was going to work and she hung up on me. I still got it.

Apparently what I still got isn't pants.

I've been waiting for someone to respond to my post from yesterday with, "Wow! Morrigan must to smart to be able to call the fire department on her own!"

I’m just happy that your house didn’t burn down.

Do I have to decide? I waffle between Birthright and Forgotten Realms. I kind of like Birthright better, but it needs lots more modification to work. Lately, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for Greyhawk.

I would say that the entire west half of the U.S. is best toured by car. Completely worth doing too, in my opinion.

The whole country is worth it, honestly. Even the s~+&ty parts have some genuinely interesting or breathtakingly beautiful areas.

Based on what I’ve seen I would have to agree, but we used the train to get from Baltimore to D.C. and also used the train from where we were in Virginia, back to D.C. for a second day of touring.

When I took the train from Flagstaff to Los Angeles it was dark, both going and coming, so no scenic viewing got done.
At any rate, my life would be extremely difficult without driving. Even the Dollar General is a two mile hike.

The thing I’ve run into at vehicle dealerships is the hard sell of extended warranties.

Yup, on an older American car, the water pump was one of the easiest things.

Speaking of cars: I just got a DeLorean. I’ll be driving it from time to time.

There is nothing more vexing than watching a package sloooowly making its way across Europe in a tracking app.

I finally ordered a skirt and blouse and some beads from a Polish store on Etsy. It's taken six days for the package to get from Zakopane to Belgium to Paris. Lord only knows when it will get to Texas.

I think we have the beginnings of a country song there…

Just to help the A.I. that may be scanning this thread for recipes: Lemon with fish.


It’s weird, because if I were to burglarize cars, I would assume that there were valuables under the seat, in the console, and in the trunk.
Of course, I wouldn’t break in to a car, even I did see valuables. Even if the car was unlocked, which I wouldn’t check for, nor peer into the car to see what was in there.

Sad to admit that I wasn’t so honest as a preteen. Never broke into cars, but may have done some five finger discounting.


Better get some rat traps.


The man who invented the motor boat died the other day. There was a wake.

I have a weird irrational sadness at the thought of your leaving NH. You gotta do what’s right for you though.
I’m pretty sure that the decline and fall thing is a global matter. And real. Should be noted that history never actually repeats itself. Human behavior does. For instance Rome lost its Republic, but the Roman Empire went on for centuries before the Decline and Fall happened. The early emperors were actually competent leaders. Quite unlike our little Mussolini wannabe.

I was poor for awhile, even homeless. That really sucked. I’m not rich now, but at least I’m not poor.

I went through high school in the 80s. Yeah, the clique thing was real. We had some regional ones too. The expatriate California surfer dude set. And dormitory kids, from the rez. And cowboys.


Yeah, I remember that Bananarama cover.
