I suppose. That would be nice, I must admit.

Must include the Hobbit cartoon. MUST.Nothing against Serkis, but Brother Theodore is still how I hear Gollum. Mesmerizing and terrifying first seeing/hearing it as a little kid.
Unfortunately the sheer work it would take to ship my 3d terrain, minis, and dwarvenforge would be overwhelming.
Perhaps all these bells and whistles is a gay gamer thing. :)
We need a FaWTLy TV show like Nate Berkus, but for building/painting D&D stuff. The tough part would be keeping the Silver Dragon from crashing every show and trying to steal all the stuff for his hoard. :)

I know Moorluck said he hasn't received an art assignment.
Could be Liz has been busy, what with her new job and all.
Perhaps. Or, possibly, people forgot, like last issue. I only got in on it after bugging Hugo on DeviantArt several months after sending him and Liz messages.

I like that idea.
I have been meaning to post photos of my hoard, most notably my mini painting skill for Urizen as he asked for it. Unfortunately, I cannot find the USB cord for my camera.

Sorry. Your "explode with excitement" reminded me of a Monty Python sketch.

Never, In fact I have these as well. Damn I am sounding smug all of a sudden.

I have seen Legend maybe twice, other family members didn't like it
I have seen Labyrinth several times
I have seen Willow several times (wasn't that guy in Top Gun?)
May was the first time I had attempted at watching the Dark Crystal, Solnes can attest to that.
I first watched the Hobbit around the early nineties on Beta.

Friends of mine in high school did the cheese shop sketch for an English assignment.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Ha...
If you ask -- expect an answer...
It feels like rats fleeing a sinking ship. We've lost nearly half our staff in the past month or two and are having difficulty replacing them. More work is being dumped on me and my review was something along the lines of "I know that we haven't helped you out at all with your job and that we've put a lot of responsibility on you, but you haven't done a very good job with all the extra crap we've given you so no raise this year". And my problem with finding a new job is that I have a lot of experience but not the right experience. I'm open to a job change, but need to somehow narrow "The World" a bit to figure out what I could/should be doing. Van finally got fixed after two months and $2,300. Family is good -- especially the kids. (Aside from my oldest son being embarrassed in class when the teacher unknowingly(?) announced all the things my son did on a test.
Most frustration right now is around work. I've got a job. Actually a pretty good one. But I'm not feeling terribly appreciated and I'm also feeling like I'm going backwards in my career. I'm really a pretty smart person who's been reduced to the work of data entry. So I'm also bored out of my mind.
No California trip this year. We may head out next year -- but probably Northern California for a family reunion of sorts.
And now back to more data entry...

Thanks. It's hard for me to vent too much though. I'm really not doing all that bad and I know that there are a number of people (even here) that are currently unemployed which makes me (at least somewhat) thankful for what I have. I do have a (good) job, a wonderful geek wife (of 12.5 years), two wonderful kids (who like spider-man, darkwing duck, and voltron), a house, two vehicles that are essentially paid for, and a great support group (you guys for starters). So I just try and remember that and not vent too often.
It just (sometimes) feels like the most stimulation my brain gets is the occasional post on the CRD.

Place down the street serves french dips, 2nd best I've ever had. However, the bartender kept talking to us about spilling ketchup and her pants and nostrodamus "blue turbaned anti-christ" and I about had it. I was so glad when somebody turned up the RHCPs they were playing. Sigh.
Royal Hadron Collider Players?

Ah.
My suggestion is a decent name for a post-industrial accordion band, though.

Anybody hear that they shut down making porn now? They've had a string of HIV positive "stars" showing up recently. They've completely stopped now.
Edit: thanks for the intro!

Indeed, I have heard of this. And right before Exxxotica too, which is a blow to the industry. Someone either broke the chain or involved themselves in some intravenous extracurriculars. Unfortunate.

It really is good. They handle everything in a very tounge in cheek, but somewhat "realistic" fashion. In fact if you don't like the show I'll give you your money back! :)
