Tell a gentleman from Britian, Americans speak English and see how he feels about it.

Ask an Englishman how he is going to celebrate the 4th of July while you are at it. No seriously, when I was in Air Force Tech School we had a British guy in our flight and his boss back in Oregan once asked him how he was going to celebrate the 4th. He said "I'm going to sit around getting drunk and mourning the fact that you kicked our ass."

Yeah, I love it when Japanese/Manga/Anime Fanbois go on and on about how great and complex the Japanese language is compared to English. LOL. English is just as complex and lively as any other language. And hilaaarious.

I spent 2 years studying japanese in college. And i would say amusingly enough, japanese is far simpler then English.
Mostly the difficulty of learning English is that we use similar sounding words to mean highly different things. To a non-native speaker a sentence such as "I went to the store to buy two tomatoes and she was there too," would be gibberish. Like wise the sentence "I read Redbook to see what Oprah says I should read." Most other languages that I am familiar with have very few if any homophones in them.

Lies (to lay down, or tell a mistruth)

Which (sounds like you could be referring to one of the APG classes)

Write (or right? or rite?)

English descended from German, which is imo actually alot more straightforward because of the use of compound words (a bat is a fledermaus, or "flying mouse", a desk is a schreibtische, or "writing table", a map is a landkarte, or "land chart", etc.) instead of making up entirely new words to describe things.


I still find it amusing that Madchen in the Germanic language is classified as neuter instead of a feminine word.

Now imagine three or four nerds in oh-so-edgy black trench-coats marching through the shopping mall singing that song and you'll pretty much get a good idea of my teenage/college years.

Yeah, das madchen instead of die madchen. Odd, isn't it? I am glad though that we dropped genitives (except when speaking of ships, and perhaps cities) for English. What a pain to try to remember if a fork is a he or a she!

I dont know if that was an attempt actually. Maybe more of a footnote or cross-reference...


Language is arbitrary and oppressive! It needs more rules to fix it!

Chewing gum and walking simultaneously is a chore. Ask me if I'm even getting any work done.

Depending on the attendees in our Friday night games, the language also goes dangerously over the line of coarse scatology. The scatbot would blow a fuse.

Go back...uh, Mr. Fishy never left. Your opponent gags and leaves the room in tears is a legitimite arguement win.

Well, I was trying out this template on me this morning. Gotta love PFRPG's rules on regeneration.

I have a player who's only joy in life is making other people gag with his evil anus. I have found a solution:

Matches.

The smell of a match is usually just a bit better than smelling someone's butt gas AND somehow it chemically neutralizes the actual fart smell. It's like a Christmas miracle.

Best of all, that player HATES the hell out of it. Double bonus!

Well, then the DM just needs a course correction. My way, or ...

<points at the Fiat went over the cliff>

... the highway.

We actually keep matches at home in the bathroom for precisely that reason.

methane (primary gas in farts) is flamable. Lighting a match burns off the methane, removing much of the unpleasant smell.

We keep a box of Diamond matches at each end of the table... he can't hope to steal both of them.


I decree that we have now come full circle.

I really need more than one DM alias for such occasions.

Go to the store and buy a grill lighter and lite his ass on fire. One or two butt flames should quell the beast. Or a spray bottle marked NO, filled with "Frebreeze" >wink<.

Well, that post was supposed to go after Tessius, but now I can't move it without appearing to have been ninja'd by TOZ. And I will not be ninja'd!

Not yet, but I have it on the schedule for later this afternoon.

I just meant quickly repost it so it would be after Tessius'. (Something weird did happen there, however.) No worries.


DMs are nothing but Nazis trying to keep creative players down. We don't need them. Isn't that why the DM guide was done away with?

Spoiler:
I think that covers Godwin.

Definately not worth all the extra effort. *nods*

We need Stormwind still.


I want to find a reason to wield Occam. I'm feeling twitchy.

We don't need Stormwind, because I houseruled my game to prevent it. Wait, that's Oberoni, isn't it?
