PB&J sounds good. I may have to make one one of these days.
That does sound good.
Now, off to Farm Fresh...
Is that death star safe for work?

Is that death star safe for work?They have a tendency to explode don't they??
Randal: So they build another Death Star, right?
Dante: Yeah.Randal: Now the first one they built was completed and fully operational before the Rebels destroyed it.
Dante: Luke blew it up. Give credit where it's due.
Randal:And the second one was still being built when they blew it up.
Dante: Compliments of Lando Calrissian.
Randal: Something just never sat right with me the second time they destroyed it. I could never put my finger on it-something just wasn't right.
Dante: And you figured it out?
Randal: Well, the thing is, the first Death Star was manned by the Imperial army-storm troopers, dignitaries- the only people onboard were Imperials.
Dante: Basically.
Randal: So when they blew it up, no prob. Evil is punished.
Dante: And the second time around...?
Randal: The second time around, it wasn't even finished yet. They were still under construction.
Dante: So?
Randal: A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers.
Dante: Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at.
Randal: Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.
Dante: All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction?
Randal: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed- casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. (notices Dante's confusion) All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.
(The Blue-Collar Man (Thomas Burke) joins them.)
Blue-Collar Man: Excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt, but what were you talking about?
Randal: The ending of Return of the Jedi.
Dante: My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed by the rebels.
Blue-Collar Man: Well, I'm a contractor myself. I'm a roofer... (digs into pocket and produces business card) Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements. And speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs.
Randal: Like when?
Blue-Collar Man: Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled. Then I realized whose house it was.
Dante: Whose house was it?
Blue-Collar Man: Dominick Bambino's.
Randal: "Babyface" Bambino? The gangster?
Blue-Collar Man: The same. The money was right, but the risk was too big. I knew who he was, and based on that, I passed the job on to a friend of mine.
Dante: Based on personal politics.
Blue-Collar Man: Right. And that week, the Foresci family put a hit on Babyface's house. My friend was shot and killed. He wasn't even finished shingling.
Randal: No way!
Blue-Collar Man: (paying for coffee) I'm alive because I knew there were risks involved taking on that particular client. My friend wasn't so lucky. (pauses to reflect) You know, any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this... (taps his heart) not his wallet.

The Pet Shop has long been the Rabid Pet Shop. You can see the foaming at the post syndrome.
Gooooooooooood afternoon Fawlty House!!!
Just got into the office, fresh from donating blood for my job. I get an extra day off work, they get a pint of TrueFreeholdDM: B+. I'd say it's an equitable trade. I feel a little weird and woozy, though, but a little good underneath it all. Maybe they drained the bad blood? But my supervisor ended up going out to lunch with her b/f so she left me her sushi lunch! I get a philly roll(which I call the Jaime after my friend Jaime), a tuna with avocado roll, soup and salad. If you strain your ears, you can hear the angels singing!
So, what have I missed?

I believe the DC for Diplomacy checks is around 100 in that thread. Realtively speaking, you'd have an easier time using Acrobatics to leap from one side of the Grand Canyon to the other.
*runs through* I think I exploded the clubhouse....! *runs out*
I find it fascinating that "that thread" can have a blow up of over 20 posts and this one had 3 in the same time period.
I hesitate to even look at it.
It can't be good, and now for random video coolness.
*Sigh* Here's a conversation I had with my buddy down at the LGS.
Me: So it looks like I'm gonna have to pass on the new mini set. Need to save cash and all for the big move
Buddy: In that case you can have them wholsale price.
Me: *sigh* hold 2 cases for me.
You're not addicted; you can stop any time you want to. ;)

Do I need to call your man and tell him that he needs to make you choose between minis and sex?

Yeah I wound up posting in it again. I doubt anyone will get what I'm trying to say, but oh well.I find it fascinating that "that thread" can have a blow up of over 20 posts and this one had 3 in the same time period.

I threw in some toilet humor. I feel like that never actually helps anything, though.

Nothing will help that thread, except the possible loss of internet access by a few posters. But I laughed my ass off when I read yours. :D

At least he does until he drive by one night and sees you in a mini-skirt and heels offering your oral services to out of town businessmen for minis. Please Jeremy, I'm begging you, STOP before it gets that far! ;)
