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.

Orleans, night before last. The air conditioner was a loud machine. Oh, well. I’m sure that she could live without my bellyaching.

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.

Nudemeg?

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.

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.

Mmm. Chicken fried crow. Tasty…

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.

It is advised that you remove all your clothes if you think you are about to get into a fight. It is.

I switched to my summer hat today.

If I remember correctly, Prince actually got the right to use the name “Prince” again.

As far as the topic goes: I’m pretty sure you would have to specify that the target was invisible to have any hope of locating it. I don’t know if you could further describe the target to a specific description or, if it would just find the nearest invisible creature. Seems like the spell should specifically mention that it has the ability to “see” invisible creatures if it has such an ability.

Of course a barbarian is anyone who is not Greek. The only civilized people in the whole world.

The GM could be difficult and have the hand go to the nearest person that the caster can’t see. Invisible has meaning other than just the spell, after all.

I just had the epiphany that housecleaning and ninjitsu are one and the same: When you leave a room, all I want is to not be able to tell you were there in the first place.

I guess if a ninja enters the room, kills you, then leaves; it would free you from ever having to clean house again. Win?

I think there is a movie. I haven’t seen it, but I have watched The Grapes of Wrath and Cannery Row. Beer floats are not good.

Yes, I now want all the kinds of onager.

Mellow Max?

Which could be a problem if you come to work with your pants off. Ahem, I mean an hour late.

And my necessary Daylight Savings rant.

The People: We hate Daylight Savings! Make it stop!
The Gub'ment: OK, do you want it always on, or should we introduce a half-hour shift?
The People: WTF? We didn't ask for either of those!
The Gub'ment: Sounds like you like Daylight Savings after all!

People of Arizona and Hawaii say: Daylight what now? That’s right, I always have to brag.

Ah, yes. The Future. I’ve heard of that place… I wonder what it’s like.

I fried up potatoes, onions, red bell peppers, yellow squash, and pork sausage. Then rolled burrito after burrito. They will be my breakfasts for the week. Had a couple for my evening meal tonight. May have been a bad choice. Pork sausage is not at all gout friendly.
