Of course, my family from out of town is convinced we are going to have 10 inches of rain, 2 feet of snow, tornado-force winds, and storm surges that will sink Long Island into the Atlantic. Let's just say the national news reports are not very nuanced.Some reports of the more nuanced variety...

Tropical Storm Force Wind Speed Probabilities - 120 HoursNote:These graphics show probabilities of sustained (1-minute average) surface wind speeds equal to or exceeding 34 kt...39 mph (tropical storm force). These wind speed probability graphics are based on the official National Hurricane Center (NHC) track, intensity, and wind radii forecasts, and on NHC forecast error statistics for those forecast variables during recent years. Each graphic provides cumulative probabilities that wind speeds of at least 39 mph will occur during cumulative time periods at each specific point on the map. The cumulative periods begin at the start of the forecast period and extend through the entire 5-day forecast period at cumulative 12-hour intervals (i.e., 0-12 h, 0-24 h, 0-36 h, ... , 0-120 h). An individual graphic is produced for each cumulative interval, and the capability to zoom and animate through the periods is provided. To assess the overall risk of experiencing winds of at least 39 mph at any location, the 120-h graphics are recommended.

That said, I should probably put some clothes on before the rain comes. I wouldn't want to catch a chill.
Of course, the visual of you riding a chariot thru the storm clouds whilst nekkid, shooting lightning bolts from your arse would be cool and funny.

I wonder if it's too late to get this as a Halloween costume...

I know a place where you can get a great deal on used loufas!You, me, HD, and maybe Moorluck need to hit the town. We'll get into trouble.Dating advice, courtesy of my roommate:
"You better ask her out! Dude, you got charisma like motherf+%!ing Slim Shady MacGyver!"
Thanks, bro.
Wow, that would be...interesting...
And probably really sticky. You never get all of the whipped cream off.
Kitchen experiment: noodles with fish and banana.
Experiment ended with moderate success. Not enough fish and especially banana for the amount of noodles used. Banana was barely noticeable. It could use some seasoning too.
At least I have second serving for tomorrow.
Don't think we haven't noticed that you started posting here! Welcome, Mikaze. I find your posts to be generally hilarious.I just spent almost half a minute in the office staring at a glass bowl full of M&Ms trying to figure out why all this candy had the letter "E" on it.
:\
Yes, indeed. Welcome to the thread!
How I feel today:
Nite everyone!

While hitting the "random" button on Wikipedia, I discovered that, apparently, Ke$ha cites Fugazi as one of her major influences as a musician. I died inside. As of now, I am a dead person.
Surely, she meant Fugees, and someone misunderstood.

That was last night, but I am ready to sign off again tonight. :D
Anyway, for those who looked at the Lattimore gif I posted, here is a mostly good news update.

Remember when my radiator exploded two weeks ago? Well guess what my kitchen sink just did this afternoon. I dare you.
Caught on fire?

HD welcome back man. Good to see you.

Council of Thieves is never getting adapted for play because every time I start, my brain starts muttering, "Hey, you know what would be a fun one-shot?"
Granted, high level venerable-aged retired adventurers taking revenge on the neighborhood brats that keep TP'ing the retirement home would be fun.

I still think baleful'd Paladog being the Buttons to an entire party of Young-templated Mindys will be more fun.

I'll run them both eventually!
Good luck to all those in the path of the storm. hopefully it isn't as bad as forecasted.

Seriously, though, I walked into the apartment this afternoon, and saw that there was a s+*&-ton of water all over the kitchen floor. My roommate, sitting ten feet away in front of the TV, seemed not to notice. I asked him about the water on the floor, and he responded with surprise, saying that he just did the dishes.
Now, I don't know why neither of us had bothered to look at the cabinet under the sink since the cat b~@~% moved out, but this seemed to be as good a time as any. What we found included a mess of soaking wet cardboard, paper towels, and moldy SoCo bottles. The entire inside of the cabinet was COVERED in inch-long green mold. I'm pretty sure that the sink had been leaking into the space for a good six to eight months before being discovered, and had only now just begun to spill over.
Over the course of an hour, we cleaned out the cabinet, and I ended up tearing out most of the wood, including the cabinet bottom (held up by ingenious carpenters not with nails, but with two wooden blocks and a rusty paint can) down to the concrete underneath. Building maintenance has yet to return our calls.
Ever seen the movie "Falling Down"? That's about how I feel right now.
When I got up to get ready for work, I figured what the heck, I'll check to see if work has been called off despite Sandy having missed us by a lot. It has been raining since sometime yesterday, but not hard, although it floods easily around here. Mission Essential personnel only at NNSY as of 2200 last night but I found out this morning and now I'm up as of 0530. :(
Shiny, you don't have a divorced wife with a child, do you?
When I have that mood, I think of the cheapest, most insignificant thing I could buy, like a paperback novel or an album on iTunes. Then you have something fancy and new that only cost $7.I check out my amazon.com wish list and update my paperback collection. I'm almost done with Sword and Sorceress, I need to finish off Shadowrun next. In between, I collect manga that everyone seems to have forgotten about but me- currently Cannon God Exaxxion. I am truly incensed that Dark Horse has left the last two volumes in Japan.
How many volumes are there? I have the first 4 but find them too dark for me.
Ok, Thomas the Train is kind of creepy.
O_O
In the UK it's "Thomas the Tank Engine" (& friends). Please say it's at least still voiced by Ringo Starr...

That's awesome, but also reminds me I probably should at some point actually prep a game for more than 1 day. I don't think I have had more than 1 week to prep/map out a campaign for the last 4 campaigns.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy, rainy Monday! And I do mean rainy. I think it's been pretty non-stop since yesterday. Still, it's mostly been steady, and the winds isn't too bad yet.
Work is closed (except for mission essential personnel). Same with daycare. So the three of us are stuck here in the house.
It's gonna be a long day or two.

Took a peak at the weather.com storm tracker - looks like Sandy is keeping pretty much on track. She might have turned a bit earlier than originally expected, but only by a bit. Looks like the eye'll pass just south of Philly.
At the same time, it looks like it'll end up a bit stronger than they were saying yesterday. She's up to 85 mph sustained winds, and they say she might go as high as 90 mph.
Kid stuff.
hmmm flight path looks like the eye is going to pass about 40 miles from my house. But I got my my four b's: bullets, bread, bottled water, and bu##holes (the new currency after civilisation falls.) ;)
If it were a cat 5, I might even break a sweat.
You want 5 cats? Aberzombie, are you NUTS?!? 5 cats will drive you totally crazy. Look at me! I have 6 cats in the house and I have lost all of my sanity long ago. Trust me, you do not want 5 cats in your house.

GAH! MOLD! Story
If you've been feeling like crap, this could very well be the reason why. High mold levels make me feel really sick without obvious allergy symptoms. I get headaches, can't wake up, and all my aches and pains are magnified.

Yeah, that'd be a Cat-astrophe!
