Naked naked naked!
So I've been told that I have too much time on my hands, and I should stop by here ...Welcome to...the asylum.
Mothman, you poor doomed fool!
I want to watch Battles B.C.
That show was so messed up, but it was neat to watch Hannibal and Julius Caesar fight using two weapons and insane wuxia karate moves.
I hope they come out with Season Two. I have Season One on disc. Excellent series!

I liked that they had everything covered in blood, even the names of the archaeologists and historians they brought on to consult. Hi-Larry-Us.
Who is left that is awesome enough in the B.C.? Perhaps the Pelopennesian War?
I don't see anything in the flag queue and the Vomit Guy alias isn't currently suspended. I did rewrite the create new post functionality this week, so maybe there's a bug. But if so it's unintentional.
On behalf of the clergy of Vomit Guy, I would like to canonize Gary to Spewy Sainthood.

Happy birthday you’re not special
You’re getting older and not much better
Everybody thinks you smell badly
We all want to embarrass you
That’s why we’re singing this song
Happy birthday you’re not special

I know the feeling. I was considering going to the State Fair and the Weird Al concert last night, but I had to the 'responsible adult' and get four new tires for the car instead. I mean, they only had 60,000 miles on them (well, three did-the fourth was already replaced when it went flat two months ago).
What the hell's the big deal about responsibility, anyway?
Happy Birthday Mac!

I am very sorry to hear of that. Not all of us are like that. maybe one day you can find what was, I will not say lost, but rather taken from you.I'm curious, is my tone simply undecipherable for anyone who doesn't know me in "Should Christians play Pathfinder?"I think it was fine. But maybe I got it because I have become accustomed to your style.
That thread makes me terribly uncomfortable and I am not sure I can adequately give him comfort. I had my D&D books burned by my mother and my pastor while the entire congregation watched. I don't know how to handle the subject tactfully.
I only say this because I wish that I could. I had an obstacle placed between me and my faith, albeit inadvertently. My mother and the church created a choice where no choice should have existed. While I am older and understand the situation better, that moment (combined with others) became helped lead to my loss of faith. Ultimately it was better for me in the long run, as I came out of the experience better armed when it came to my spiritual belief. I got to explore new ideas and concepts that I would not have been exposed to if I had not dealt with this situation. But I would hate to see the same kind of needless doubt happen to him as he seems very sure of his faith.
I want to address this, but I want to make sure you know I am not bothered by anything you said. I have re-written this multiple times and it never seems to come across properly. I just want to explain my current point of view and that requires a bit of deconstruction. Once you get to the end you will understand where I am going with this.
I appreciate the sentiment but it is important to remember this happened 18 years ago. My anger has long since turned to pity for those involved. And even when I was filled with anger, I understood that not all Christians behaved the same way. I certainly don't think that now. There were many issues that put me on the path I followed for most of my life, most of them not related to RPGs.
It did set me on a course of exploration that I would never trade, which is the one good thing that resulted from the experience. I would not have investigated the depth of religion and faith if I had not questioned it in the first place.
I have a great deal of respect for Christianity, which I think I mentioned before. You can't be a Medievalist (which I consider myself to be) without understanding the impact Christianity had on culture and society during that time. I can see the negative impacts the Church may have had, but I also recognize the effect the religion had on the preservation and development of Western Civilization. Indeed, most of the issues often pointed at as drawbacks during that period can be placed firmly upon the flaws of humanity, not Christianity. It is also important to remember I have the same respect for other faiths and the reasons are varied.
I am far from a theologian, though I imagine I understand the context and history of Christianity better than some adherents. I know that is a fact with it comes to my mother and the pastor of my former church. I honestly believe that faith must be tempered with knowledge, lest it become a weapon wielded against others rather than an edification of the divine.
Faith itself is not an alien thing to me. I am surrounded by persons of faith who follow a variety of religions or Christian sects. For my part, I have faith in a great number of things, most notably an eternally optimistic faith in humanity. I am a deeply spiritual person and I do not feel as though my life is lacking in any way.
Does all of that make sense? Did I utilize the proper tone? I certainly hope so because my intent is to express my respect for Christian faith while simultaneously providing the context for my loss of faith, exploration of religion, and my current state of relative peace on the spiritual front.

With that, I need to go get some things done.
I likely won't be around until Monday, so you crazy kids have fun.
Respect is an important trait of this little group, I believe. I know I danced on a fine line talking about religion in the Fawtly thread. I apologize for breaking the rules, I truly am, but I wanted to express some thoughts in direct response to another thought. So please forgive me. :D
Take care and see everyone on Monday! I hope you have a great weekend.

You said this most succinctly, sir.

Indeed. And perhaps vice versa.

With the possibility of Earl hitting at NNSY, or at least part of it hitting, we have been given liberal leave. In other words, take the day off if you want and you will not be denied the request. So, now I have a four day weekend. Woot!
So I've been told that I have too much time on my hands, and I should stop by here ...
Ohhh poor didums, ;-p
EDIT: please ignore that last post, I need a lift to the game tonight - ummmmmmm Moths are cool yeh.... Can I get a lift :-).

So... apparently I've gone over my 150GB download limit this morning with 16 days still to go before the month renews. How I did that I don't know. I was downloading something last night, but there's no way that should have taken me over the limit. Which means that I am onnce more relegated to Dial Up speed. :/
So I may be even more absent from here than I usually am because of it (which sucks incredibly, believe me). :(
Brains! It's What's for Dinner.™FIFY
And now I've found the upside to the iPad not playing Flash videos.

Yikes, sorry to hear that, Flash.
I figured Urizen would run out from all the pron he downloads, but I didn't think you downloaded half as much as him. :)

Something to pass the time until it's Friday:
David Tennant as Peter Vincent (in the style of Criss Angel) for Fright Night remake
That was not at all what I was expecting.Brains! It's What's for Dinner.™FIFY
A little Copland makes everything better.

Aww just when Bethany is in mortal peril! =O
I could have gone with this marketing ploy:
My old college just sent me a letter telling me I'm under academic probation. The college that I dropped out of at the end of the term that gave me academic probation. I swear, this better be a weird mistake or something. I don't think I can handle failing at dropping out of college.
EDIT: The f***? I had that speech impediment until tenth grade, I don't need my posts to have it too.
Really, that better be a one post thing.
Maybe if I post under an alias I'll actually be able to write properly.
EDIT: What a time to get a TOTP. No, I won't strip for you. Not until I find out why my last two posts are in weird nonsense baby accent, or whatever that was.
EDIT: Uh, help?
