If Iceland were to make it to the World Cup, they'll be the smallest nation to have ever qualified.
When the qualifications groups were drawn, they were seeded below the Faroe Islands.
unfortunately Panama was defeated by Mexico.
Their "take the field naked" strategy did not work.
Anyone mentioned Malazan Book Of The Fallen yet?
Is that a headache creeping in?
Damn, I didn't bought any painkillers after using the last one on weekend...

Hey Freehold!
I...I had thought this but a legend from the fevered minds at 4chan, but it's true. ...
Got here late, so best wishes to your friends, AZ.
Books - I've read the ones on Jess's list, and I'd recommend them all. Also Jo Graham; Her Numinous World series is terrific.
Stephen R. Donaldson's last Thomas Covenant book came out today! Crazy4catnip has been waiting for it for awhile now.
Great to hear CH. Sounds like it was fun and actually being productive too!
Anyway, off out tonight to hang with a friend. With some luck we might get a game out, or she'll help me with some NPC planning.
Meh. Rains started. Probably end of a beautiful weather we had this October...

Darn, sorry to hear that.
Whilst your boys played well last night, despite the result.
Uh? Soccer? Poland playing well? I must have quantum-tunneled myself to another dimension during the night...
Oh, wait... Facebook gave me an appropriate and well aimed suggestion for a page to like... I certainly must be in parallel world!
Time to wander off. Later FAWTLfolk.

Everything always comes down to arguing semantics, it seems.
So, are ethnicities capitalized? Just curious since you wrote Semitics and not semitics.
Typically, yes. They're considered proper nouns.

Morning all, Great game at PFS last night. Although "that" guy showed up. You know the guy who figures prominently in such fascinating threads like "Problem Player, What Do I do"
After some hints from DM about how some encounters might not be level appropriate. Our young gunslinger who was just itching to use his new toy wound up in a mano v glabrezu combat...Note we are a level 2 party.
The glabrezu was disguised as a gnome trapped in a summoning circle..however after my wizard informed him that the gnome had an abyssal name and was not suffering from the dreaded bleaching effect i.e. Um hey dumbass, he's not a gnome. our young hero went into the circle. The DM who was as surprised as the rest of us said "Oh cool, I have the glabrezu statted out"
It was not a pretty sight to behold my friends, We walked out with 1 less adventurer, but a better group overall.
My BodaNova whiskey tumblers make a very nice noise when you hit them lightly with a fingernail.
Actually, I suspect they'd have a nice ring if I struck them with a toe-nail as well, but I'm not gonna test that anyway.

Yes. And in case of English language ethnic/national adjectives should be capitalized as well (this is different than in some other languages where only ethnic/national nouns are capitalized) - which makes important distinction from my point of view because of difference between polish and Polish...
Off for Derp Heresy session. Probably last one for me this year... Unless we gather once again next week.
Had a great Champions game last night...
Can't see out of my right eye this morning. Habitual, but odd.
Crim J! YOu're online!
Are you interested in WotR still? I'm about to start a second game...
A certain father of 6 mo twins you may be familiar with is planning to play...
Yep at work. I just don't get on here as much as I would otherwise like.
Really M. has a log on here?
Yep, Here

I also used to enjoy Anne MacCaffery's DragonRiders of Pern series. And I have enjoyed some of the more recent ones co written by her and her son.
Also, Am I the only one who enjoys reading (Or re-reading) Edgar Rice Burroughs anymore?
I have enjoyed the adventures of both Tarzan and John Carter since I was in second grade! (I was a bit ahead of my reading level back then)
:)

It's one of those things I just haven't gotten around to yet. I didn't get introduced to Burroughs at all as an author until I was in college. Prior to that his name was, to me, just associated with movies based on his books; I didn't know he was an author, I thought he was a movie director.

I tried some Edgar Rice Burroughs a while back, and while I enjoyed it more than I've done HP Lovecraft or Robert E Howard it still wasn't my cup of tea.
I've heard of it, mostly in its connection to Dark Tower which I have read, but never gotten to read it. It too is on The List.

I once saw someone claim that the ideal age to discover him was when you're 11-12 and haven't developed much in the way of cynicism or genre-savviness yet.
