The movie Buba HoTep. If you, or Sharoth who wanted to know as well, care it is on Netflix. :)If Elvis and JFK can't stop the mummy we're all doomed!Short story or video?
Yeah, that's where I watched it, some time back. I recommend the short story, by this soon-to-be Planet Stories author.
Great idea, Lilith!

They're scarier covered in dust. I also like that my players forget which mini's I have. hehehe.

The scariest time is when you finally blow off the dust so we can see what we're fighting.

Ok. We'll see how that went, I see I missed Paris and the ever welcome Lilith. I'm gonna do some snooping. You folks have fun.Well, you didn't really miss me. I'm reloading the thread from time to time. It's a form of escapism, really...or denial...or something.
Enjoy your snooping.
This thread is therapeutic. We should be charging by the hour it's so damn therapeutic. ;)
Sorry your having a piss poor time, but at least it's better than..... well.... I'm sure it's better than something. :P

You're right...but I'm not allowed to type what it's actually better than. Instead, I'll follow that therapeutic comment for a moment.
Frankly, I've realized that many of my problems with my work life come from the fact that I'm "too nice." I've spent the past several years taking on the burdens of other peoples' failings.
As a leader, I've spent too much time beating myself up when my subordinates don't perform as they should. When my personnel have made mistakes, I've tended to assume all the responsibility and repeatedly re-examine all the things I should have done to prevent said failures. I had never really paid attention to how much stress I created and put on myself.
It would be one thing if that "niceness" came from some noble, enlightened paternalism. Unfortunately, I think I simply found it easier to suffer than to hold others accountable. The end result, however, is that my own confidence suffered. Now, my superiors are starting to question my abilities.
This morning, I resolved to put an end to that crud. I'm tired of taking the figurative "shots to the 'nads" for other peoples' inability or unwillingness to do their jobs. I mean, I'll still take the shots, 'cause that's how the military works. The difference is, from now on, others will feel that pain, too. Sometimes, leaders need to let the $&*^ roll down hill.
Anyway...just needed to get that out.

Consider this your bombing range Cmdr. and feel free to unleash yourself when the need arises.
Hmmm, I could use a Lord Admiral of Piracy in my Cabinet of Chaos.

Husband: I'm sorry sweetie!
Wife: WHY do you do that? Now we can't serve that water, it has some of the pasta water in it!
Husband: Oh, it's no big deal, it'll be okay. It's been filtered!
Wife:
Husband: What? It's not like you poured orphan's blood into there or anything!
Wife: I think I'd rather serve orphan's blood to our guests than filtered pasta water!
Husband: You'd rather serve ORPHAN'S BLOOD?!?!?

Would she filter the orphan's blood and serve it on ice or serve it warm in a sifter?

Don't worry. We will stand outside in the cold together. ;)
Well, I can't find John Landsdale's original Bubba Ho-tep anywhere now. It must have gotten taken down since I read it. I even see some disagreement now over whether to call it a short story or a novella.
BTW, I recently discovered that sinus infections can be the cause of migraine-like headaches.

Really? I didn't know that.
I have had migraines for most of life, but nothing quite like this weekend's nightmare. I wish it had been infection. Then it would have a direct cause/effect relationship that I could understand. When a migraine comes out of nowhere it is frustrating as there is nothing I could have done to prevent it and the only way to stop it is load up on pain relievers. That is, if I am lucky. Though, surprisingly, Excedrin Extra Strength is a miracle drug in that regard.

I found Imitrex extremely effective when I could afford it. At $75 per pill, it's pricey, but what is a day or two of your life worth, anyway?

GAAAAAHHHH Thats it thats the last time. Just had the jehovah's witnesses at my door again thats twice in a week, and the mormons were at the door 3 times last month. Time to make some religiously offensive pamphlets, arrange for me and my friends to form the atheist witnesses, and start knocking on some church doors. Lets see how they like it. GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
So there's, like, 50 people where you live and you're getting this much harassment from religious groups? :)

Thanks, Jester. Things are going okay. Really glad I went to PaizoCon this year, because the way things are at work, it's probably going to be the bright spot of 2010. Well, aside from my wife and kids, of course...that goes without saying. I'm just hating my job (a lot), right now.
It was great to meet you at PaizoCon. I hope the job situation improves.
What movie is that?Anything with Bruce Cambell is a win, but this may be his best EVAH!If Elvis and JFK can't stop the mummy we're all doomed!Loved that movie! Ozzie Davis as JFK was a sublime choice.

Alas I don't believe we met at Paizocon unless I have a horrible memory. Or maybe we did.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

Some people just take a little longer to catch up than others. ;-)

Of course! This intensifies competition among them for the small number of potential converts!

Happy Birthday, Davi. I soon can say the same.
