Late night DMing Kingmaker, but at least I got to annoy the piss out of my players with one of my monsters. Huzzah!!!
Did the same last night.
Added the Siege Terigris from Jason Nelson's Rushlight Beta to this year's annual tournament - the participating PCs were ushered one at a time into an arena where they fought (illusionary) monsters, and the trick was to see how many they could take out in two minutes. Monsters were rolled randomly from the Book of Forbidden Lore homebrew conversion of 3.5-IP locked monsters, Taig's Frightful Folio, the Book of Beasts - Monster Variations, and Kingmaker Chapter 5's bestiary.
Player one hacked his way through 15 rounds of beasties before surrendering to a Beholder.
Player two got through the first couple of encounters easily but then I rolled the toughest encounter in the box, First Blade. (Reflavored in this case to be a specially-created construct emblematic of the country's original founder, rather than a divine herald.) He surrendered after barely even denting her, at 8 rounds.
Player three to participate goes next week since we ran out of time. The first two were a Samurai and Cavalier respectively; three is an Eldritch Knight, he might go the whole way to Round 20 just on having more tricks up his sleeve.

Meh. Telemarketers. The more they push the more I want to tell them what they can do with their offers.
It would be simpler if I would be less trying to be nice and had less compunctions about being rude...
I keep meaning to ask them if they've found Christ in their life and basically annoy them back. Of course, this wouldn't be a sensible way for our US cousins to annoy telemarketers.

Meh. I don't want my bank to record that. Unless I will plan on changing the bank.

That's why you go for the weird.
"Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Cthulhu?"
"I'm sorry, I cannot discuss monetary transactions with you until I consult my oracular parakeet."
"...This line isn't safe, you know."

My grandpa getting calls trying to sell him new siding for his house. He would say he wasn't interested and they would ask him what he had on his house currently.
Finally he got sick of it.
"What kind of siding do you have now, sir?"
"Fur."
"...er, excuse me?"
"Fur. Great with the snow. Warm, quite insulating. It kinda smells funny when it rains, though."
"*#&$@*&%" * click *
My grandpa considers that a win.

Love it!
I have a favorite response to those pesky people who SWEAR they aren't trying to sell you anything, (Yeah, Right) they just need a few minutes of your time for a telephone poll.
"May I ask you a few questions?"
"Certainly. I specialize in telephone consultations. I charge $200 an hour with a two hour minimum. Where shall I send the bill?"
"Um,..." *Click*

Laptop isn't working out. Should have checked the specs more carefully before buying.
Thankfully, I can take it back within 15 days for a full refund, AND they're having a sale this weekend that brings another, much more what I need laptop down to a reasonable $500. Between spare cash on hand and the refund from the laptop, should be an easy swap. Hoping I can get everything back off the laptop tonight and take it in tomorrow, but if not will have to do it during my lunch break on Monday (which thankfully is still part of the sale time).
