I thought of buying little tiny Lego sets for everyone in my gaming group. But then I got scared everyone would think it was too immature or stupid or something so I didn't. :(
Awww, that sounds like a cool idea. Don't let your fear stop you, after all you guys all get together to play "make believe". :)
Well I will warn you. The price on that item will only go up, not down.Meh. Not paying that. In the meantime, I take my gargantuan orcus that I bought for $45 to bed and plot about turning all your minis to undead hordes to overtake you. MUAHAHAHAHA....If dracolich is a Tiamat, then I want it.It is not a Tiamat Urizen :P It is a large sized dracolich. I have only 1 Tiamat in my collection and it will be moving with me to the UK. FYI I saw a Tiamat going for $100 on Ebay last night you snooze you loose, also the longer you wait the more expensive the mini becomes those DDMs are all limited edition and accrue value.It will not matter once the undead mini horde overtakes you in your sleep. Sleep, Mr. McGillan. Perchance to dream. *rubs hands maniacally*
EDIT: and in the nude, no less for TOTP. Undead teabagging.
Eeek!
Quick question (especially for those of you with little ones...)
** spoiler omitted **
Seems like a bit much to me.
I work as the programmer at a small company the essentially runs gas stations for private and corporate jets.
::sips second margarita::
tipsy programming ftw!!!
Woot!

+1. Not that this is a surprise to him, but Moorluck is right. :)
I want to party with that dude!I'm sorry, Lord President Moorluck, but we may need to have a new election for the Presidency of FAWLTy.
See, there's this chap from Serbia that has taken the title of Ultimate Man and, to keep our cred as being the most-badass group of gamers in the world, I feel we have to nominate him for presidency.
But, we're going to let you run against him and remember, the rules for generating votes are the same as always: hookers & blow are perfectly acceptable bribes.

Will my mention that I was busily making holiday candy this week and have white chocolate wintergreen fudge to share make me even mor friends?
yes, friend
Got a call from the staffing agency today. I start a position on January 3rd. The job would entail plastic mold injection. and the best part is it is a temp-to-hire postion.Truly a great huzzah!
Both of us starting new jobs as of Jan. 3rd -- I proclaim 2011 to be the Year of the FAWLTy!!
Good things happen in threes of this nature, right? Right?
*sighs*
maybe even more, hang in there uri

Cool, I hope that goes well.
When I first moved to VB, I had trouble finding a good job and went to work for a place called Radva as a line press operator through a temp-service. The company makes foam products (coolers, peanuts, etc.) by using steam presses. About three days after I started, someone quit the maintenance crew. When I mentioned my experience, I was immediately switched into maintenance.
As a temp, I had to work for three months before I could be hired full time by the company instead of through the temp agency. I was working A LOT of OT for them. Very little time off. Then after twelve months full-time, with a lot more OT, I would finally be eligible to take vacation hours. But, I got hired at NNSY and started work four days before becoming eligible. So, at that time, I had worked for fifteen straight months (minus four days) with no vacation time and very few weekends off. I was a work vegetable. (Did I mention that I spent the last twelve months working midnights where I was the only maintenance/mold changer and would work entire shifts without the opportunity to speak more than a handful of words to anyone. Combined with my poor sleep adjustment to midnights, I was basically living in solitary confinement for a very long time.
Hurray for NNSY

That sounds so delicious.
Given the job that you do for a living, how's the security being ramped up since the whole Wikileaks debacle?That is funny. I haven't seen anything that awkward, but I have seen some bad mistakes.
A prime example is people using the reply to all when we fully integrated into the new (not so new now) system, NMCI. It sent the email to everyone in the system. Did I mention that NMCI stands for Navy Marine Corp Internet? Yup, people were sending out emails to about a million people at a time, everyone in the USN and USMC. I really got tired of having my inbox cluttered with emails (not concerning anything related to me) from people in San Diego and everywhere else. It should be noted that such emails were bad to print because they will often have a section listing all the people that received that sending of mail...
That seems to have stoppped a while back so some sort of correction was made.
Nothing new, but some of the stuff may date back months ago to when this first happened.
No thumb drives are allowed within the CIA (controlled industrial area). Cameras (even on cell phones) are not allowed and haven't been allowed for longer than I have worked at NNSY. The same goes for laptops and any device capable of recording electronic data. Every computer has had CD/thumb drive slots disabled. There are also a lot of training classes I take where it is required that cell phones be turned off. I don't mean on silent either.
it would be best if Isaid no more of this. :P
Other stuff...
Our shops boss, the one our super answers to along with a couple other shops, had a Christmas lunch for us in the Cryptography shop yesterday. The shop is inside a giant safe and all cell phones had to be left in a lock box outside the shop. Every year or two we go through training for destroying material in case something happens such as the base being under attack. The shop has giant grinders (high tech variants of wood chippers) capable of grinding up PWAs and such. Cool.
wanders through the thread while debating whether to play Diablo II tonight
Diablo II is always a good idea.

EDIT: Odd ToP but OK.
LOL!
My daughter once quoted, "No amount of therapy will ever make this moment OK."
I made a friend once. Then the villagers stormed my castle with torches and pitchforks and killed the poor guy. :(
At least he decimated their ranks and orphaned hundreds of children before going down. :)
Sounds like a complete gentleman.

Aw man that would be kickass!!!! If they don't want 'em I'll take em! Lego guys make great minatures, they almost never fall over or anything!!
I have to go to pool now, and I'm not in a great place emotionally right now. Bonz funeral is in the morning.
Y'all have a good night.

There's not really anything else I can say so that will have to do.
Halls decked, melancholy traditional english carols playing on the stereo, and delicious marzipan stollen. Yum. Okay, some things about Christmas aren't so bad. :)

Too bad for you. More yummy Christmas cookies for the rest of us. :PAnd I am now completely done with my last class of the term. Woo-hoo! The house is clean after spending the last three days shoveling out the mess. The last time it was clean before this was well.....ummmmm.....sometime before midterms I think. heh. And this afternoon I will put up the Christmas tree. And then making a list of all the stuff I'll need to make holiday goodies. Gotta make cookies of course. And gingerbread. And stollen. And at least one batch of (blech) fudge (the blech is from having made way too much of this stuff over the years). Looking forward to the cookies especially since we bought star wars cookie cutters. My Christmas cookies this year will be in the shapes of death stars, x-wings, and tie fighters. :)What? NO Y-WING COOKIES?!?!?
Ah. Refreshing, even when Y-Wings are not among the Christmas cookies.
FHDM Haterade. Now in delicious Y-Wing flavor, for a limited time only.
Wow...I didn't know Joss Whedon made Gatorade commercials.

So who wants to spring for bail money for "if" I have to go tell that s~@% for brains dick head next door to turn his frakkin music down one more time?
~raises my hand but then my wallet bites me and I lower it~ Sorry bub! I am broke right now. Maybe next time?
The holidays put me in such a Festive mood!!

So who wants to spring for bail money for "if" I have to go tell that s%&& for brains dick head next door to turn his frakkin music down one more time?
No posts between then and now?
Is that a good thing, they turned it down, or a bad thing meaning Moorluck is in jail and awaiting our bail money?
:P
I forgot to turn my 0510 alarm pff last night. Normally, I can just hit the button and go back to sleep before too long. But, I fell asleep on the couch last night and I had to get up and run into the bedroom to turn it off this morning. I am up for good.
I'm gonna go run on the icy streets.
Laterz.
~Shambles through thread on his way to the fridge for a morning Mt Dew.~

Last night's Rise of the Runelord session ended badly for all but one Hero of Sandpoint.
Your brother died last night, but, it looks like Gaithan will be raised from the dead.
Details will follow later in the Runelords Obituary thread, but for now, I must go prepare for my two youngest son's arrival from MN this afternoon.

Only the early dragon catches the hobbit! {yoinks a handful of miniatures and scampers out the side tunnel}
Morning all. What did I miss?
That upstate hippie! Shoot 'em again, shoot 'em again! {holds up "Hippie Season" sign}
Jude is watching Star Wars for the first time.

Congrats Woody! {buries a Hey Jude single in the front yard for Urizen's and my job prospects}

Sorry to hear the kidlet (and you) is having such a tough time of it, Lynora. Hopefully 2011 will be a better ear for us all. :)
I told Gary that he was mentioned in several of the FAWTL Christmas songs. He replied "Uh oh", and I replied "*click*".

It will be! 2011 will be the Year of the FAWLTy! We shall take over the world (right before it blows up in 2012)!
So, if you all were building a tiny "chimera" with a dire hummingbird's body, and a hamster and a puffin for two of the heads... what you use for the third head?

Hmmm... Idea...
So, if you all were building a tiny "chimera" with a dire hummingbird's body, and a hamster and a puffin for two of the heads... what you use for the third head?Just use three puffin heads.
I did think of that, but I was afraid a triple-puffin would be so superior it would quickly become the top of the foodchain. Also, humanoids would have to make a WILL save with a -8 penalty or just stand there helplessly in awe of its cuteness.
I'm kinda leaning toward puffin-hamster-rhinoceros.

Unless said humanoids were like me, then they would have to make a DC 40 Will save to avoid crushing it under their boot heels.
