Wow, slow day. I can't believe this dumb birthday thing has been scheduled for 7. I want my pizza and cake now, dammit. Happy Freaking Birthday.
Man, Pat is really the king of bargains.
Hey, why pay $500 for two women's new summer wardrobes when they have rummage/yard/church bazaar sales all the time during the warm months where you can buy new or almost-new stuff at super low prices? I mean, a lot of the clothes my two women picked up still had the original tags on them! We really are a throw-away society.
Plus, I am a stickler for old tools. I really hate how modern tools are made of the cheapest materials and rarely outlast 2-3 years of hard labor. Gimmie a Pittsburg-forged, ash handled shovel from 1950 any day. Most folks put $1 stickers on Dad's old tools in the estate sale, since they're 'old'.

That's why people would always try to park in lots near that area.
I actually believe that; having been to the French Quarter twice. You know very well when you walk into the gay district of the quarter. Except these guys are wearing assless leather chaps. ;P

I have not been to New Orleans since I was quite young. I have been several times. Never been to the gay district. Nice to know what to watch out for. :P

It's just further down Bourbon St and it's hard to figure out precisely when you're chasing down dollar shots and there's a mass throng of crowds. It's an amusing experience all around.
I only recommend that you try to find locations where you can actually use the lavatory because a lot of places will even charge you to use it. Just don't go out in the open. I was smart enough to actually shell out for a hotel one block outside the quarter. Now only if I had slept in it every night I paid for it. :/

So it seems my conceptual image of the Sarunia druid has split into not two, but three separate concepts. At some point my concept of the world based druid bifurcated into an animal based one. The third one is an elemental concept which needs just a little bit of a power up.

So, my sister in law had her baby shower today, so myself, my brother in law, father in law, and my uncle, hit their favorite bar for some beer and pool shooting. After we got tired of the standard 8 ball, They invented a game called pool golf, where you had to get the cue ball closest to the break spot on the table, and you started at one spot, and you did one bank shot, then 2 bank shot, and so forth until you had 6 bank shots. after that it was hitting a ball from the break spot. Pretty fun, actually. I don't usually shoot pool, but it was a blast, and the beer helped, he he.

I love pool, even when I'm losing. It's probably because I don't play often enough.

Funny thing is, all three of these guys are expert pool players, they all belong to a pool tournament team, and they all have their own sticks, even, and I hung well with them, but I grew up with a pool table in my house, but I stopped playing soom after I grew up, but it ain't something you forget though.

I never did get taught the rules of the game throughly though. I get the basic concept; stiped v. solids, don't sink the eight ball until you have no other balls left on the table.
EDIT: Before someone else makes a joke about it, yes, even pool tables even have big balls.

Yes, they're good. Here's a suggestion. They have this chili-chili con queso on the menu now that has beans and salsa mixed in with the cheese. It comes with tortilla chips (but I think theirs suck). I use that to dip the fries in. It's like a chili cheese dip for your steak fries. =)

Not really, it's just a drink/meal to me. I drank so much caffeine in high school and the years following that I think I've built up a bit of an immunity to it.
Mass quantities though, like say 4 or 5 cups, would leave me wired. My daily intake does not ususally exceed 2 cups.

So, is it a Sybil Druid?

No, it is nothing like a an oracle or prophet.

That's just Eight Ball. There's a number of different other variants you can play. Just like you can with Poker or Solitaire, for instance.

This is TAD we're talking about. As if he ever keeps normal sleeping hours.
But yeah, that would be part of the problem.

We're talking about two different kinds of Sybils.

All three classes have distinct separate abilities, it isn't one class that can pick and choose their abilities and therefore doesn't suffer from an identity crisis.

I am aware of that, I've just never been taught them.

No. I've only ever played the basic style. I have seen a style played that shapes a set od balls into what looks thwo triangles, with the tips away from each other.

This one doesn't even require a pool table or a full rack of balls.

Actually, 2.
