I just realized-- I've been a member of the Paizo forums for damn near a third of my life (joined in early 2006, first post was in December of that year).

Ah, I do so love screwdrivers.

I'm older than either of my parents was when they started having kids, and I'm just now entering university. I'm 24. When my sister was born, my dad was 21 and my mom was 17.

i'm 22 and my mom had me when she was 20
Since I don't plan on having kids and all (and I suspect may actually be infertile) this is an interesting thought

Almost five years for me I think, I've known my wife for over half my life tho :-)
So I'm rampaging thru Saarath or whatever and I peek at the online strategy guide because of all the g%@%$~n puzzles and the guide warns about some mega bad ass at the end that's gonna totally feast on my pancreas while he annihilated my spine, so I get the dude that I'm with to sell me Stoneskin. So I walk in expecting to die, stoneskinned up armed with my Imperial Bow of Cowardice and a handful of Orcish Arrows, dude never even made it up the stairs, 3 arrows, 1 to the groin, 1 in the eye, and the third in the top of the head when he bent over complaining about getting hit in the eye, no wonder the dude was already dead.
Rampageth!!

Just so's everybody knows, our prediction of Chevy's demise was premature.
The food was quite good for a Chevy's, meaning it was perfectly palatable. In fact, the table-made fresh guacamole was downright awesome. Even more awesome was our server, a wonderful man with an African name beginning with "S" (yes, I am SO wonderful with names) who just made the whole experience fantastic. It's really sad when you get a waiter at a chain restaurant who's just amazingly better than many waitstaff you've encountered at places that run triple or quadruple the price.
So yeah, we grossly overtipped him and informed his manager of his stellar performance.
I don't think a glass or plate went empty for more than 30 seconds, he told cool stories, we talked bad movies, and it was just an awesome experience.
Score one for the Chevy's in Emeryville. As long as you're looking for "edible" rather than "great" food, it's a definite win!

An axe, that is also a gun that shoots smaller axes, and those smaller axes are also guns that shoot bullets.

The last meal I had at Chevy's was also really good, albeit it was in Vallejo so the scenery was not quite on par with emeryville

As someone that spent 10+ years in restaurants i thank you for being such delightful customers, if only everyone was as pleasant as you :-)
Of course then i might not have gotten sick of it and branched off into construction, where i discovered my favorite job Demolition!

Yep. Right across the street from the old Siebel building. We did a couple of company lunches there, but their lunches aren't on a par with their dinners. And yeah, hanging out in the bar and watching the sun set over the bay is why that particular Chevy's (plus Skates on the Berkeley Marina) always have their bars packed stupid on Friday nights...
And Trader Vic's still exists, and no longer has a dress code.
Back in our 1980's punk days, Trader Vic's had a jacket-and-tie dress code. We drove up in our friend's Suburban one fine summer evening when their front doors were open (the poor guy left a pack of crayons in the back, where another friend and I found them and played fast and loose with his back windows, but that's another story). My friend was wearing a kevlar-plated leather motorcycle jacket as we drove up.
Valet: "I'm sorry, sir. Trader Vic's requires a jacket."
Driver: <Looks carefully down at his Kevlar-plated jacket> "I'm wearing a jacket."
Valet: <Long awkward pause, wondering how much trouble we're about to cause> "Not that kind of jacket, sir." (Gotta give him credit for the "sir".)
Loud Guy in the Back: "THAT'S IT! WE'RE GOING TO DENNY'S!!! WE'RE GOING TO F*****G DENNY'S"
You can just imagine the wince on the valet's face as the voice resonated throughout the restaurant. Driver, mortified, sped us away to Denny's.
Funny thing is, now we go to Trader Vic's for dinner once a month or two. We've even bought some of their tiki shirts. No dress code = We'll give you a try...

Skates had gone downhill for many, many years, but jeez, they got a new chef in the last year or two and now the food there is fantastic. It's gotten to the point that it's a question of time, rather than finances, to eat at all the good places around here.
Ah, life is rough when you're stuck choosing between half a dozen great restaurants within a couple miles of your house, plus some standouts you go to just for atmosphere or service (we've got to go back to Chevy's just because of that waiter). I need to retire so I can eat more...

If this is the real Orthos what is the best Final Fantasy and why, also if you wouldn't mind telling tale of your exploits in NWN
