*Dons black hooded robe, grabs scythe, and starts walking toward Karaoke Ashe*
Sorry Aberzombie it has to be done
*points finger at Karaoke Ashe* Your time is up, time to go on a vacation takes a step closer and swings scythe at neck level to Karaoke Ashe
*steps out of his private chambers wearing black robes and hood weilding a scythe*
So how does everybody like the new duds?
*sees War-Bucks*
Ah damnit! Why is it everytime I get a new suit, somebody else has one just like it!?
*strides away after beheading several gaurds in frustration*
Somebody please help me! They're animals I tell you! Animals! Never letting up for a moment, always wanting more! One man can only do so much!
Please help! Call the Australian Embassy! Call Mel Gibson! Call Nicole Kidman! Call PAUL HOGAN!!
How did you get out? Methinks we may need tighter restraints... maybe even some manacles.
While I'm out maybe i'll pick up some whips and flogs...Hugh needs punished!
I have decided, if the Karaoke does not stop....Lynora and I are putting on clothes!!! Real ones...like that cover... everything!

No, no, Lord President! Behead the karaokers, not the guards!
Still better than that damn chimp...Yeah, the professor gets all the girls, and I get Mrs. Howell, when she's in a "cougar" mood. What's up with that?I believe their names are Ginger and Mary Ann, she says dryly.How are we ever going to get off this island?I don't know... Can you remember why the professor can't fix a four-foot hole in a boat again?Er, heh heh.
<Sobs>
That is wrong on so many different levels! That poor poor chimp... I'm calling animal control and reporting you for animal cruelty!

Um, that was 40 years ago? It's ancient history. Can't we just forget it?

~dances over to Solnes, bows and kisses her hand before dancing away~
Its at times like these the great heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So lets loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries
Were just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Were just following ancient history
If I strip for you will you strip for me?
Uh-huh-huh
When it gets so hot the end of the day
You may find your clothes getting in the way
If a pretty dress hides your true desire
Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire
We dont need to see what the butler saw
Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor
All those sneaky looks gazing down on you
Are no substitute for our rendezvous
If you think its cheap or a bit risque
Please dont say a word Ill just slip away
I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes
Dont freeze up girl, youre looking quite a sight
Be generous, I want it all tonight
Lord President, you get a minus to your leadership score for killing your own lackeys. It may be epic, but it's never gonna get close to Obama's if you keep killing people.
oh but you misunderstand, those aren't MY followers, they're the VP's minions.
I burnt myself with a sparkler! :(

I can't be bought with scripts!!! Something shiny, and expensive... MIGHT help me to forget...

We banned those from my house when my wife did that a couple years ago. She especially doesn't want the kids to use them.
Sorry to hear that you burned yourself.

It's all good, this thread is for fun! :)
So a brooch huh?! This has possibilities!

The kids love them, we light them and the kids throw them around. I guess it was my own fault...should maybe have pointed it not at my thumb!

It might have a curse on it--getting stranded on a deserted island is just one possibility. Just make sure you take Hugh with you if you go on any three hour tours.

Get the really long ones and attach fins to the base, launch them with a bow and you can get them suckers about 100-200 yards in to the air and rain sparkling fire down on the neighborhood. It’s really cool looking but I live in rural area and my closest neighbors are cows and they wouldn’t complain if they got hit.
Used to do that also, still do sometimes.

Now that actually sounds like fun! But we live in a neighborhood and I can just see our Landlord handing over an eviction notice in his PJ's!

For a lovely lady like yourself, I'll sing anything if you hum a few bars...
In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him
Bilbo (Bilbo)
Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo (Bilbo)
Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now hobbits are peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.
Bilbo (Bilbo)
Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo (Bilbo)
Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Well, he fought with the goblins
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!
He was chased by wolves,
Lost in the forest,
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!
Bilbo (Bilbo)
Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now he's back in his home in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Absolutely! I wouldn't even think of not inviting you!
I bring a motion to announce and declare a new federal holiday. That day being August 13, and to be started in the year of 2009. The day shall reference or be named along the lines of Pathfinder RPG deliverance day. This is to mark the glory and the hard work of Paizo staff. I further would like to bring to motion that this event be immediately placed in all history books from the earliest elementary school to the college level.
Do I have any seconds on this motion?

Although Golem's Day falls on July 7th, I believe that August 13th should be celebrated as ThanksPaizogiving. Consider your motion seconded.
And further more, will somebody get me an estimate on how much it will cost to get the Lincoln Memorial reshaped into the likeness of a Golem.
Has anybody seen Dargentum? I haven't seen that dragon since he learned how to shapechange into Hugh Jackman.
A Cup of Tea
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

You might want to check with Lynora(sp?) and Solnes, I heard that they went to get somes whips to punish Hugh Jackman for trying to escape. Now, whether or not if it is the real Hugh Jackman or not is uncertain in light of the facts presented here about Dargentum.

<Woozy from blood wine/prune juice cocktail. Knocks on First Lady's chamber doors.>
Ms. Solnes, Ms. Lynora? The President would like to see you in his office to go over some new "interrogation" techniques.
(That should get them out of the room)

The City In the Sea by Eddy Poe
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently-
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free-
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls-
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls-
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers-
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye-
Not the gaily-jewelled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass-
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea-
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.
But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave- there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide-
As if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow-
The hours are breathing faint and low-
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.

Life is only what we choose to make it.
Let's just take it,
Let us be free.
We can find the glory we all dream of.
And with our love, we can win.
As the battle goes on we feel stronger.
How much longer
Must this go on?
Each and every day we dream of winning
And beginning a new life.
Still, we must fight or face defeat.
We must stand tall and not retreat.
Our strength will find the might.
There's no fight we can't fight together,
All together,
We can win.
Blessed with strong hearts that beat as one,
Watch us soar.
And with love that conquers all
We'll win this battle, this last battle.
We will win... We must win...
We will win...
Another winter day,
Another grey reminder that what used to be has gone away.
It's really hard to say
How long we have to live with our Insanity.
We have to pay for all we use.
We never think before we light the fuse.
(Chorus) Look up, look up, look up,
The sky is falling..falling!
Look up, look up, look up, you have to do.
Before you try to go outside, to take in the view,
Look up because the sky could fall on you!
Another restless night,
The wind is howling through the empty streets outside.
We have to hide.
We dare not go outside,
We must not walk into the darkness of the night.
We have to pay for all we use.
We never think before we light the fuse.
(Chorus) Look up, look up, look up,
The sky is falling..falling!
Look up, look up, look up, you have to do.
Before you try to go outside, to take in the view,
Look up because the sky could fall on you!
We have to pay for all we use.
We never think before we light the fuse.
(Chorus) Look up, look up, look up,
The sky is falling!
Look up, look up, look up, you have to do.
Before you try to go outside, to take in the view,
Look up because the sky could fall on you!
Look up, look up, look up,
The sky is falling..falling!
Look up, look up, look up, you have to do.
Before you try to go outside, to take in the view,
Look up because the sky could fall on you!
Look up, look up, look up,
The sky is falling..falling!
Look up, look up, look up, you have to do.
(Fading out)Before you try to go outside, to take in the view
Look up because the sky could fall....
After all of the battles are over,
After all of the fighting is done,
Will you be the one
To find yourself alone with your heart? (looking for the answers...)
When it feels like tomorrow will never come,
When it seems like the night would not end,
Can you pretend
That you're really not alone?
You're out here on your own.
Lonely soldier boy.
You're out here on your own.
Lonely soldier boy.
Yes I'm lonely, but are you alone?
Lonely soldier boy.
With all the glory, without the joy,
A lonely soldier boy...
Do you believe in the causes you're fighting for?
You used to believe yesterday.
Now what can you say,
Now that you're so far from home?
You're out here on your own,
Lonely soldier boy.
You're all alone,
Lonely soldier boy.
But are you really alone?
Lonely soldier boy...
You're out here on your own,
Lonely soldier boy.
But are you really alone?
Lonely soldier boy.
You're out here on your own,
Lonely soldier boy.
Are you lonely, out here on your own...
Lonely soldier boy.
Yes I'm lonely...
Lonely soldier boy.
A Mother's Advice
Jiun, a Shingon master, was a well-known Sanskrit scholar of the Tokugawa era. When he was young he used to deliver lectures to his brother students.
His mother heard about this and wrote him a letter:
"Son, I do not think you became a devotee of the Buddha because you desired to turn into a walking dictionary for others. There is no end to information and commentation, glory and honor. I wish you would stop this lecture business. Shut yourself up in a little temple in a remote part ofthe mountain. Devote your time to meditation and in this way attain true realization."
