Driving 85 through a school zone while the lights are blinking.


Using a leaf blower on a windy day. I CAN'T GET BEHIND THAT!

Running up and touching a cop's gun after a friend bets you a dollar that you won't.

Jogging in Rabid Fox neighborhood.
Being an Animal Control person and answering a call about a Rabid Fox in someone's trunk.

Stopping at a red light and revving your engine at the cop next to you.

You gotta be careful now; they're cracking down on nasty talk.

Putting a U Michigan dog sweater on a tranqed wolverine after you've done all the necessary scientific measurements, all for a great Cuteness Overload photo.

Or having a lack of faith in the ways of the Jedi. Or coming out of light speed too close to the system. Or losing track of the Millenium Falcon.


Pissing into the *wind.

*actually an 24HD air elemental.

But that is just what he is, James Earl Jones voice synthesizer or not. You must have caught his whining at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Just tell him someone is holding his dog hostage and he will break down and start blubbering.

Dark lord of the Sith?
More like a big sithy.


Beaming down to the planet, or other ship, or really any where with Captain Kirk while wearing a red shirt.

"Dad who is the new guy is the red shirt next to Kirk?"

"Don't bother remembering his name son, he'll be dead soon. See the mutant tribbles are eating him now."

Who else out there thinks that Uhura and Scotty were two of the luckiest people in Star Fleet to live through all those missions with Kirk while wearing those red uniforms of doom?

Yoda: Being a wussy is the path to the dark side. Being a wussy leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much Wussy in you.

Anikin: (lip trembling and tears forming in his eye) I'm not a wussy, I'm not. Waah, Obi-Wan, Yoda's being mean to me, waah.

Responding to any of the following questions, when posed by wife or girlfriend:

- "Do you love me?"
- "Does this make me look fat?"
- "Should I eat that?"
- "When are you going to _________ ?"

~shocked look~ And you are still alive? She must love you a lot!


I have many bad ideas I could post, but I hesitate to do so, because they might well be:
Violating the Paizo Messageboard posting rules.
(Which admittedly in itself probably counts as a pretty bad idea).

Edit:
I think that 'assuming your PCs will do X' in any given adventure you happen to be running, whether 'X' be deduce a clue, make a saving throw, or talk to an NPC is generally a pretty bad idea, and probably safe to post.

Good idea: Watching the Cowboys game with your fiancee.
Bad idea: Watching the Cowboys game with your Redskins faniancee.


Good idea: Reading your magazine on the bus.
Bad idea: Reading your new copy of Big Naturals on the bus.

Liberty's Edge

You just need to find a good freak bus.


Somehow I always seem to miss it. Maybe it will become this horrible recurring theme in my life, like a Kafka story. Always pining for the freak bus, just barely missing it each time until I forget why I wanted to ride it in the first place. I finally get on, look at my watch and realize that I should have just walked.


Heh, heh...the baby missed the bus...

Liberty's Edge

The freakbus waits for you.


Well, it may have been ugly, but at least the Cowboys didn't lose again.

I think I'd prefer a spicier adjective than merely "bad" for that. On the other hand...whatta you been up to, Jal?


Getting into a fist-fight with a girl is a bad idea for two reasons:
1. If you're a guy, instant shame. You are no longer a gentlemen until a cleric casts atonement.
2. Guys fight to knock the other guy out and look tough to their friends. Girls fight to DESTROY and HUMILIATE. Hair-grabbing, scratching, screeching. It's like walking into a closet full of rabid cats wielding 2x4s. 2x4s with nails in them. It isn't enough to win: the opponent must be completely ruined.

It isn't just physical, it's psychological. And I should know: I have no training, first hand experience or data whatsoever.

Giving a two-year old a handful of SKITTLES.

(In case you didn't know, he will lick them, the dye will run all over his hands, which he will then wipe on his shirt and ever other stainable surface in the house - wrath of wife will ensue).

Good Idea : Feeding your two-year old a healthy breakfast of Weetabix (Porridge-like for those who don't know).

Bad Idea : Being in range when he has a sneezing fit with a (to start with) full mouth.

Very Bad Idea : The above when wearing your work clothes and already late...

We just fight to win.
