I learned that my new favorite beer, SHINER BOCK, is some great stuff and that my local liquor store has a version in a Wheat beer. Anyone know if it is any good?
FH
Yes. It's good.
*goes to cry in a corner ;)*
::pats Lilith on the shoulder::
(whispers to Fake Healer) "It's very good....."
Hey, at least you're not e-mailing her photos of Shiner Bock being consumed and used as gaming props during a D&D game session.
This weekend, I learned that 10-year high school reunions are not things to be feared.
I also learned that I can still drink as much as I could when I was 18.
Also? I remembered why I went to school where I did. The co-eds are still entirely too attractive for me to not be single.
Other than that...not much. :)

Wow, I never thought of that. I have a digital camera (6 megapixel to capture every bead of condensation on the bottle) and her email address.........
Nah, I don't wanna hurt her or nothin'. I keep wishing that the store where I get it would keep it unrefridgerated so that I could ship her a couple 6's but they keep it all cold so I can't ship it. Don't wanna send the Demon-Queen of Victuals a skunky brew. I would even eat the cost of shipping (and maybe even the price of the beer) just to make her happy if I could.But it is fun to rub it in a bit.....
FH (I have one in my hand as I write this...)
P.S. and I will be picking up the Wheat next time I stop by the store to try it.
I learned that someone broke into my ex-wife's car and stole her stereo. Someone also threw eggs at her new boyfriend's car while it was parked at (my) house.
Good thing I was running some Age of Worms and have 7 good alibies.
Good thing that my ex is such a shining example of parenthood that she told my kids it was probably me who did the vandalism. What a kobold-sucking, lich-loving harpy.

Maybe this one is more for the Rant thread. Anyway, I'm sure the incidents raised a hollow sort of grin.
Matt_the_dm; I feel your pain mon ami; similiar stuff is happening around me and my buds too; I am saving it for my end of year rant. Over the weekend I learned some more hard lessons in how hard it is to relate to women, ie my wife whom I have been with for 13 years; sometimes she doesnt make any sense to me and spouts out the most wild random stuff. Pretty sad your ex is dragging the kids into it; least mine is keeping them more or less out of it. Two other of my friends have wife/exes going crazy too; is there something in the planets alignments or something; craziness abounds.
On the neck post; do you have trouble moving your head any one direction or is it just generally sore? I woke up once and couldn't move my head to the right past looking straight ahead and my whole shoulder was numb; took many many weeks of therapy and stuff as I damaged my third vertabrae. Hope this didnt happen to you.
A sad lesson was learned this weekend. I learned that I cant ROCK as hard as I used to.
...at least you weren't videotaped....dancing the YMCA.....wearing a cop hat.....with your shirt tied around your midriff.....with your 9th bottle of Samuel Adams in hand...trying to do the limbo later on....
Oh well, I didn't want to be a senator anyway.......the incident described above occurred quite a few weekends ago actually.

Dude, the only reason you wouldn't qualify for a congressional seat is that you weren't engaged in the above while bangin' an underage hooker and snorting blow off her back...
Oh....okay, but I probably still won't run for any office when I'm retired.....my wife thought it was hilarious that when the DJ was passing out the prop hats for the YMCA, he happened to give ME the cop hat.

ROFL! I can *so* see that...
But now, two days later, I feel like I gave myself whiplash.
No kidding, my neck HURTS! I dont remember that ever happening to me when I was a young lad. Has it come to this? Are my days of hard rocking over? Say it aint so!
Two days is rather long time...Black Sabbath in parties leads to my neck not moving the next day but after that I am fine. If it doesn't go away, you might want to see a doctor...

Wow, for you guys its Black Sabbath, for me its "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
When the working day is done, James just wants to have fun.
I learned this weekend that when potential new players show up to the game to "watch" a gaming session, some players should try not to fart during the first gaming session--especially when the new potential player is a woman.
I thought we had gone over this in gamer obedience school, dammit!!!
I'm serious--this really happened. Woman from my office, very smart, LOTR fan, Master's degree in English, came by and hung out with us for over three hours, drank beer and mead and watched us play my Farewell2kings GH campaign.
Left about 15 minutes after the only other male player at the table other than me farted and gas bombed the whole frickin' table.
I haven't laughed so hard in years...out of embarassment and out of just sheer amusement. I wasn't sure I should post this here, but what the f%%!!!
She said she might still consider playing, as she has brothers and males farting around her was nothing new....but c'mon!!!
The fact that my gaming group is 2 men and 3 women hasn't helped civilize us at all. Hopefully it'll be 2 men and 4 women down the road, but I think we "punted (pooted)" this time around.
While no significant life lessons were learned this past weekend, I did re-affirm a few valauble gaming lessons.
#1, let the impulsive players feed thier characters into the meat grinder. When the gwilch stops flying and the heads are collected into thier baskets, *then* you step in, drink the bad guys under the table, get the information and win the encounter.
#2, feel free to confuse the same impulsive players by doing things when your player instincts tell you to take action. Don't BWMC if the character dies, 'cause that's what the impulsive idjits do once or twice a session.
How to pronounce sahuagin.
Well, don't keep us eejits in the dark....
That having a 200 million dollar payroll does not buy you a World Series Pennant.
Go Tigers!!!
Hehe, that no matter how much smack talking Yank fans do they can still loose; no 27th return for them :)
Go Tigers!
But after about 25 yrs old, that stuff hurt me too much to keep it up. After 33 or so, wine was all I would drink.
I used to drink A LOT in my university days, (with accompanying stupid behaviour) but at about 23-24 I noticed I tended to fall over when I drank, and I was getting drunk quicker and quicker with worse hangovers. So I cut down drastically, now I am 28 and have discovered that if I stick to the limits for drink-driving (two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after that) I won't get a hangover too bad, or do anything too embarrassing...
Anyway the point of this story is, I read that a scientific study has shown that teenagers and young adults are more resistant to alcohol, and have to drink a lot more to get drunk, which explains college binge drinking. My tolerance is certainly a lot lower than it was.
About three years ago I noticed that even one glass of red wine made me really drunk and gave me splitting headache, which I put down to an allergy. Then I bumped into one of my old drinking buddies from first year uni and he said the same thing happens to him, only he assumed it was because of the vast quantities of poor quality boxed wine we drank in college!
This weekend I learned that the historical character Huo Yuanjia played by Jet Li in the movie "Fearless" is the sifu who is poisoned by the evil Japanese in the Bruce Lee movie "Fist of Fury" (known in the US as "Chinese Connection"), causing Bruce to go on a rampage of vengeance. Now you know that too :)
