This is basically what one of my sister's dogs looks like except that he is REALLY big. His name is Rusty.
While in Texas [1] recently for the wedding of one of my neices (from a different one of my sisters, I have three), they took in a chihuahua from some friends of the neice who was getting married. The friends who had found it (it was two years old and they had originally thought it a pup) had taken to calling it "Yo quiero Taco Bell" but my sister and her family who took it renamed the dog "Indiana" from, you guessed it, Indiana Jones.
The funny thing is that the chihuahua has the exact same coloration as "Rusty" and they have taken to referring to the two as Twins.

Hmmm. Not sure if I should feel flattered or creeped out about being added to FHDM's otaku harem... :PAlso, it irritates the heck out of my kid that I still know more about Dragon Ball Z than he does. I get great enjoyment out of this.Rang in the new year sitting alone in my room, drinking hot cocoa, and watching Dragon Ball Z. It was awesome.This sounds similar to my yearly new years tradition. Although I did discover that I can get quite emotional about some of those old DBZ eps after a bottle of wine. Embarrassing but true. :)
[zoidberg] why not both? [/zoidberg]
Deeeeeeefinitely creepy stalker mode.
It's not like I was wearing a pinstripe suit and had my hair slicked back or anything. In fact, I wasn't wearing anything at all!
Yeah, no.Also, it irritates the heck out of my kid that I still know more about Dragon Ball Z than he does.

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Max realized just how cold it was when his morning train commute almost resulted in an eye injury from standing next to a vey tall woman. Meanwhile, Scott's attempt to ship some things back home from Louisiana met with some difficulty as he was informed that the post office did not ship two year olds. And, across town, Gary's trip to the beach while wearing his pin stripe suit brought on.......no, wait! That's my soap opera!
Hi everyone
sup
slow

Butts!
I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas and New Year.
I made it back from Kentucky yesterday after spending some needed time with my Mother and my sister's family. But, it was a hard, whirlwind week or so for me.

...Those kinds of things can be terrifying! I'm so glad your mother is going to recover from her fall! My grandmother had a fall, and didn't tell anybody. We only found out about it because there was bleeding on her brain, and it got so bad she started displaying stroke-like symptoms. The doctors, on examination, said the bleeding was from some relatively recent trauma, likely a fall. The damage was permanent, sadly, and so we'll never be able to find out the details of when or how she might have fallen. :(
I know it's sometimes stressful, but what a blessing everyone was right there for her!

Ok, so a little bit of a Christmas story time...
(A little back story...) Our "Entertainment System" has consisted of a rather small (20 inch?) old tube tv -- how old was it? -- it was so old that the tv only had one input jack in the back for the antenna -- I had to buy an adapter to plug in the DVD player, etc.
So, we felt that it was time to get a new flat screen. We shopped around and settled on a 46 inch LED Samsung TV. I bought it and smuggled the TV into the house the Sunday before Christmas. Wrapped it that night and put it next to the tree after the kids were in bed on Christmas Eve.
This was the last present that got opened. So my children (ages 6 and 11) unwrap it and then proceed to stare at it quizzically. Then my youngest says, in a kind of non-chalant way...
But it didn't stop there. I said -- "No, it's a TV." To which my oldest then says...
Now that it's all set up, I think that they are happy about it, but at the time I thought it was quite amusing.
Holy cow it's Moff =D
Long time no see man!
Welcome back, Moff!
+1! :)
Welcome back, Moff!I've been in "Ultra Lurk Mode". Still check things out periodically, but not as much as I used to.
Are you still in any games here in the Springs?
I still remember during my childhood when we'd have a TV repairman come fix our set.
My dad and grandfather owned RTV service firm. I am still trying to get rid of all that old... electronics... (do the vacuum tubes count as electronic parts at all?)
No.

I am. (And I'm DMing again. Yeah me!)
Are you in any games? (I keep thinking that I should invite you to ours -- and then we get another player.)
How's the job market for you?
Last few days haven't been too kind to me...
Hoi moff!!!

Someone here at the office bought me a new mug for Christmas. It's a rather large Superman mug with just the shield on it. I was looking to see if it was microwavable (it's not) and saw this warning message...
"Not intended for children under age 12"
??
Because hot chocolate mugs for 10-year-olds are DANGEROUS!!
Just thought it was odd...
Maybe little kids would microwave it?
Icy, I hope things improve for you.

Cool.
I'm running RotRL and playing in a somewhat different Serpent Skull game. We are talking about another casual game, but the details are up in the air.
The energy sector is a bleeding train wreck right now.
