I am always reading things about how PnP, D&D in particular are going mainstream. Who cares? I know it is good for the continued existance of the games we all know and love, but I have gone to more than a few conventions and there are plenty of people old and young who DO play. Most people who have a bias against RPGs and the people who play them are not the kind of people who I would want to see at the table when I am playing anyway. I do not like most mainstream things or people. I am a guy, who if not for an ability to excell on the sports field would most likely have been picked on mercilessly as a kid. When I was young I thought it was so great that I could fit in with the cool crowd, but the truth is hanging out with all of those jerks, instead of with my gamer freinds was probably the reason I have taken so long to get to where I want to be. All the guys I played D&D with are pretty succesful for the most part, as opposed to most of the guys I kicked it with who are in jail. It is only trough dumbluck that I am not in jail too. So to hades with the mainsteram.
*I just needed to get that off my chest, thank you and good night.
You shoulda put that in the rant thread.
Hoot? HOOT!

Oh my Lord, I had poison-ivy once. Once. It was the most excruciating pain and discomfort I have ever felt in my life, and I've suffered through heart surgery, a broken leg, and an injured back. :P I'd take any one of those over poison-ivy any day. I might even take two of those at the same time!

If ever I fall victim again to that accursed HELLWEED I shall remember your recommendation. :)
Hey Mike. Do you ant to come over to my place and help me clean up the back yard? I will ask the poison ivy not to bother you too much. (Yes, I have some in my yard. Thus the gloves and shower after playing in the yard.)

It's not THAT bad. You'll be itchy for a week and then you're good to go. Besides, here on the East Coast is the time to play in it-the stuff's not producing oils anymore, so it can't get you. Come on, you know you want to go play outside now;-)
You people are mean. :P
*fears the HELLWEED*
I can't fear it. I spent this entire summer at Prince William Forest Park in Virginia doing a tree inventory. Hardly saw any and then finally got some at the very end of summer. But chiggers? Despise 'em. And greenbrier? What crazy druid came up with that aggravating stuff?

~grumbles~ Yep. Chiggers suck big time. I hate 'em.
Are you Puff the magic dragon?
Nope. I am much better than him. First off, I am real.

Britney Spears is real.
~grumbles~ Good point.
Poison Ivy grows in my back yard; it's a great way to keep people out of there! I'm one of the lucky not bothered by Urushinol (though, with all things allergy, each exposure screws you a little more). Though now that I have the little one I'll need to be better about clearing it away from the roses.
Leave Britney alone!!!
I think poison oak is worse, and I'm hardly allergic to it!
Of course, I haven't had either oak nor ivy...

Amen. I don't understand the desire to be in with the 'cool' crowd, nor to be 'hip' so to hell with the mainstream! I in fact sometimes do weird stuff just to freak out the normals. Here's to the shiny life.
Leave Britney alone!!!Why, she got an STD?
Probably. She's none too attractive either.
Leave Britney alone!!!
Are you the emu kid from youtube?

Here here! I too wish to scare those silly normals. Ha Ha! Cool is for punks.
In my day to day life, I wear presentable Gap button-down shirts, the occasional jacket and other work-appropriate attire. I have no tattoos (thought about it, though) or visible piercings and I have never shaved a swear word into my hair.
As an artist, I am known for producing images of giant tomato plants bearing deformed babies like fruit, Eddie Munster presenting the object of his affections with a felled squirrel to show that he is a good provider and slow-dancing prison inmates.
So be careful about gross-generalizations about "main stream" or "normal" people. Some of us prefer not to advertise the depths of our...proclivities.
Careful, Mike...you are beginning to sound awfully similar to an owlbear's mating song.Alright, who let the owl in?!Hoot? HOOT!
ROAAAAARRRRRR-hoot!
Who?
Who?
Who indeed?
Or a Sea Bear attack.
Alright, who let the owl in?!Hoot? HOOT!

I believe it was the same guy that let the dogs out. I'm still working on that question.
