Good catches, thanks, CH. This exists in so many versions with so many edits, changes, and tinkers, that it is easy to miss getting everything consistent.
Google Docs is unsupported by my browser, so it looks awful and even drops some info. No help here.
OTOH, I am reminded of how much I have forgotten.... ugh. Thanks.

Wait... "unsatisfactoriness?" Is that my browser?
Looks good to me. Can you throw in another choice in question 10? It just seems like it needs a 'd'.
Also, where are the essay questions???

You need to drop kick your browser. How does one achieve felicity w/o Google Docs?

Will take a look. Still writing essay question, as I have more time on that. It will be as broad as my ass.
EDIT: 10 is basically a Do you know who the members of the Trimurti are? question, so I went with just the three.

Keri Russell?
That would be an achievement I would need to write about afterwards to fully enjoy it. Hence, still Google Docs. And of course its cohort, OpenOffice.

Good night. Have a safe trip home.

People want to give me ** spoiler omitted **
If so, I just might forgive you and stop hating you for the above.
EDIT: Well, every conversion it uploads has some goofiness. PDF seems to have the least, so changed.
EPIC FAIL: Blocked at work. So all I can comment on is...
1) "Han Solo" should be capitalized.
2) "Its" should have an apostrophe.
3) I was impressed with your usage of "pusillanimous".

At least I spelled WOOKIEE correctly.

OINK!
Heh. ASAP, of course. I'm behind and need to send to print shop. So even an eye-balling is okay.
Just out of curiosity, how far out am I stepping here? You shouldn't be able to edit it, but can you copy or print it? Save it?
I saved the link ... but it looks like you killed the doc. :/

Tell me what you think, bad editing and all.
I made it up on a whim when I went walking earlier. not very good but what the hey.

In the Mouth of Madness is another great movie. Really twisted. But, have you guys ever seen Attack Force Z? Awesome flick with a very young Sam Neil - came out about a year after the Omen flick.I was thinking that when I replied to your last message. I haven't seen the movie, but there's Daybreakers ... and one that I have seen that's Lovecraft inspired: In The Mouth of Madness.True! The first time I remember seeing him was in the third Omen movie. Dude was awesome as Damien Thorn. Ever since then I've been a fan.
And, on that note, time to head to work. Later.
nah... Death in Brunswick is the best Sam Neill movie ever! ;)

So Chewie is the Star Wars equivalent of Kenny from South Park? In other words, we have to assume he's saying the most foul thing possible at all times?And now I have to wonder - just what was Chewbacca saying all those times? Was Han translating truthfully, or just covering up for Chewie's interspecies perversions?So, what exactly was Princess Leia implying when she said "Would somebody get this walking carpet out of my way."?Pointless Star Wars quote for TotP.Years ago a good friend of mine told me that Star Wars was FULL of sexual innuendoes. I've never been able to watch it the same again.
"At that speed will we be able to pull out in time?"
La, la, la, la, la ...
Or Keop from Battle of the Planets.
I heard that in the original Gatchaman he was a foul mouthed little fncker but instaed of trying to totally translate & rewrite all of his lines, they just gave him that funny "brrp doop" voice.
Flash: your sentence in the blog thread RE Eva is grammatically correct read in two different ways. It's also true read in both ways. Seems like you should win something.

Any chance of him killing off Drizzt, too?Probably not until WotC has drained those cash-cow udders dryer than the Saraha during summer.
Which shouldn't be too much longer after the last novel... :/
The Ghost King was average at best and with them now firmly in 4e territory

Where is the easy to get to res spells and the diamond vault to go with them?

Only because you asked...
More and more things were blamed on terrorists. Whether they existed or not, the media had a way of finding someone to blame; that or the terrorists took the blame to cause more people to be wary of them.
We were almost 10 billion on this world. Now the estimates are less than 1 billion. It is amazing how life will propagate when it has an opening. Unknown species or variants thereof are found almost yearly. Darwin would have been proud.
There are few guesses as to where the plague came from. Korea, or what is left of that radioactive slag, is the top of the list for many. Since China was the place hit first and worst, many think it was some sort of plant by them to discredit one of their enemies while at the same time ‘slaying the dragon.’
Grandfather, you may yet be young, but trust me -- these things will come to pass. It cannot be stopped. Every event of the future reinforces the events of the past. Time is like a self-correcting equation. You may put in a new variable but it quickly becomes the same answer. The only things we know that can go against the arrow of time are radio waves so this is how I am speaking to you now. You must do all you can to help us prepare. Make storehouses for nonperishable foods, weapons, and medicines. Use militias to help you if you must.
One thing more, whatever you do, however you must do it, never let them put you in Arkham. Stay away from the east coast at all costs.
Really it wasn't that bad at all. Given the word-count limitation, it really was pretty good. A couple minor suggestions...
Look at some of my changes. Grammatical and otherwise. Especially for something like this, make sure that things are grouped together appropriately. Do your best to use "active voice" (one of my biggest failings as a writer). Lastly, for something this short -- "less is more". You could have taken out the comments about the species and expanded on how it spread. Or on more instructions on what to do -- more? How much? etc.
But I thought it was a good clean story overall.

Is it bad that I've only seen bits and pieces of the Star Wars movies?
I lose all geek cred, don't I?
O.o
I have a crapload of the Novels, plus almost all of the Decipher CCG cards. Plus nearly all of the Wizards RPG books and half a dozen WEG ones. Plus all of the comics (up until I stopped collecting comics 2 years ago - reduced income and something had to go unfortunately, RPing and a small amount of CCGs won).

What sucks is that my ex-wife had bought me a Star Wars Trivial Pursuit Game that involves all six films and I've never taken it out of the box because I can't find anyone to play against. :/I constantly do it. I'm a major SW geek. :PI can sense the delightful glee and evil smirk on your face to deliver this comeuppance of correction. :PWookiee
WookieeTwo e's.

I've got the Original Trilogy one and play it very occasionaly, but I have to beg and plead to do it. On a couple of occasions I've gone from start to finish without anyone else getting a go and it tends to piss them off. :/

My brother has it. In order for us to play with anyone else, we have to play ...
If they get ANY answer right, they get the corresponding piece.When we land on the correct space to get a piece, we have to answer EVERY question on the card to get that color.
One of us still ends up winning usually.

Yes, my passive voice sucks. Limited word count which I blew away by the way. Oh well.

*sigh* As my boys were young, they were all over the faux Star Wars episodes. Many hours were spent stomaching those shows.
Hmmm....probably the cause of my brain bleed....

I've picked up a dummies guide to grammar / writing and I've yet to crack it open, but seeing the comments mentioned from time to time -- can someone explain to me 'active' and 'passive' voice(s) in a written narrative?

Thanks for sharing that. :)
Out of curiosity, do you have your players post their own version of events?
And it's good that the spell is only a cantrip/orision. Otherwise, the optimizing-munchkin in me would go ... thanks, but why would I want to have that? ;) But like you said, it's just for flavor ... no one loses out on anything due to the unlimited resources of 0-lvl spells.
