I wish to apologize to the guys at Paizo. I made a typo earlier today that made me sound like a big jerk.

My keyboard is shot and I really need a new one but I'm saving my money for a copy of the Pathfinder core book and the bestiary. I apologize for my mistake and any misunderstanding or hurt feelings it may have caused. I will pay closer attention to what is going up on the screen from now on, rather than what I am typing.
It's amazing how much a single word can totally change the context of your message.
I think you were the victim of bad timing too, because a post in another thread riled up Josh, and that post preceded yours by maybe an hour.
I'm sure all will be forgiven.
I saw your post this morning, and I knew what you meant. I thought maybe you'd go back in and edit it if you noticed in time.
lol
I have to say I was taken aback. Good to know it was a simple typo. :-)
I'm relieved too. I was worried Paizo was going to go blind!

I'm sure you're forgiven for the typo. But one typo you cannot be forgiven of: it's mea culpa. My Latin teacher and I are sharpening our knives and instruments. Just be glad you didn't conjugate a verb incorrectly. The punishment for misusing the passive voice involves eels.

I figured that all along. No worries.

There's an undertaking company around here that's called Deffland.
Aaaaand I knew an OB/GYN in this are named Dr. Ripper. Ominous enough we didn't want anything to do with him.

-Lisa I read an article in the paper several years back about a surgeon who works up there in Seattle named Dr. Frankenstein. When they page him, they just page him as Dr. Frank.
Hey David, if you are interested I can send you a new keyboard. I work with computers and have a ton of spare keyboards laying around the office. They're nothing special, just basic Dell keyboards, but if you are interested shoot me an email.
Daigle, I just shot you a message on Facebook. Thanks, I really wasn't expecting a new keyboard.
Why in the world has this thread gone back on topic?
Here in Houston we have a colen & rectal surgery specialist named Dr. Butts.
No, really.

I know some crazy writer who went by 'Will Power' in High School ;-)
I went to junior high with a kid named William Good, went by Will.
Our P.E. instructor would call everyone by their last name, then first, during roll call.
Kids are mean. "Good, Will" also happened to be poor, so the unlucky guy was the subject of a lot of jokes from the school bullies.
In a slightly weird tangent, when I worked at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Surgery, we had a code name for when a fire broke out. The PA system would come on and say "Green Grass. Green Grass" and then give the location so that all personnel would know where the fire was. They say that this was so they wouldn't have a panic, but I always figured it was so the personnel could get out of the hospital first without being trampled by the public. :)

My mother used to work for a guy named Dick Head.
Heh, I was 4 years Navy. Worked in the engine room of a nuke carrier. We had a code that when called meant that unauthorized personnel were in either the engine room or the reactor room. Our response was to grab the biggest wrenches, hammers, whatever and 'escort' those wanderers back out and if neccissary into the friendly company of our resident Marines.
And we actually had a few times that these were not drills. (Poor little NUBs getting lost on the big ass ship.)

-Lisa My wife's advisor in Religion and Peace studys was Dr. Strange.
So wrong on many levels that I just can't get over it.
I had a Dr. Strange as a music teacher.
Also, I worked for a large internet service provider. The CFO and CEO of which were named, Fraudsham and Conn. Endless source of hilarity. Especially when we found out she changed BACK to fraudsham after her divorce from mr. johnson.
Perhaps this thread needs a new home.
Heh, not the first time a CS thread got off topic and ran away.
David, this offtopic shift means nobody's ruffled about your missing "isn't." :)
My health teacher in high school was Mr. Love.

I was in basic traiing with a guy who's last name was Sargent. Everytime he would say he was Airman Sargent, the D.I.s would hve a field day. I also went through tech school with a guy whose name was Forte.

I went to school with a boy called Sherlock, another called Holmes and me. Oh, what a laugh those 7 years were.
I was in Army basic with a Private Sargent. That poor guy got harassed more than anyone else.
In college I worked at a fast food joint with a manager whose name was Christina Slaughter.
