The thing that kinda sucks about the internet is people (especially PFS) don't really realize how small they are, and so they get kind of spoiled and entitled. I admit I was guilty of it too until I had problems subscribing and had to call them to sort it out.
Now I try to cut them a little more slack, they're people too that need to eat and sleep like the rest of us :-)
obviously I don't think this is an issue with FaWtL Folk, who are some the most mellow and understanding group of people I've ever seen on the internet, just stream of thought type ramblings here :-)

I call everyone naked, doesn't everyone?
So he learned that responding to telemarketers with, "I'm naked? Are you naked?" was the absolute best way to get rid of them...
...until a guy with a thick New York accent called, and immediately responded, "Yeah, I'm naked. So can we talk about this product or what?"
My friend was so floored he spent 15 minutes talking to the guy. Didn't buy anything, but it got the guy's foot in the door...

Mr. Nobody is up to his old tricks again! This time he let the dog out and got into Pea Bear's (not) secret candy stash and blamed both on Tiny T-Rex.
Mr. Nobody is Tiny T-Rex's imaginary fall guy, I swear he came up with it completely on his own!
but he's right here. Above this post.

You do realize that now you said that one of your players will have a work crisis, one of them will get sick, and two of them won't show up for the game for several weeks for unexplained reasons. With everybody absent, the only time where you'll be able to convene for the game is 6 months after the last session, and by then nobody will be "feeling" and won't want to continue.

i tend to shower somewhere between daily and every other day
In the winter since i don't sweat as much i do go a couple days between showering if i'm not too active, but in the summer i'm always active so it's needed pretty much every day, otherwise my smart-ass kids call me out on it:-D

We had some teenagers prank calling work last winter and my manager answers after a bunch of "is your refrigerator running" calls and this girl asks "do you have any cocks?" He just says "why yes we do! Would you like me to put one on hold for you?" They never called back:-D
Heh,
I found that anytime a person calls 'Not selling anything, Just want to ask a couple of questions' if you respond;
"Why certainly, I specialize in telephone consultations. I charge $200 an hour with a 2 hour minimum. Where shall I send the bill?" Usually gets rid of them pretty quick.

I used to get calls from political parties then once during the 2008 election they kept calling me at work so i told the Hillary person that called if they kept calling i was going to vote for Mike Huckabee, haven't got a call or mailing since:-D
edit: the lady asked "you.. you wouldn't really do that would you?" i just said in my most convincing tone "Absolutely i will!"

Love it!
I am adding that one to my list of responses. :)

I loved the reactions that my wife's co-workers gave yesterday when I showed up to get her keys out of the car she locked them in.
It started out as a lot of suspicious "Can I help You's?' and looks that said I did not belong there. When I announced (in my best Steve Reeves/Superman voice) Although, in hindsight, probably sounded a lot more like Adam West/Batman ;P that I was there to rescue my wife from the menace of the 'keys locked in the car', it changed to a chorus of 'Oh thats HER husband!' & 'That's a nice husband!' ;P
Next time, I'm wearing my Superman t-shirt! ;)

Of course now that my brothers have all remembered we exist (I'd swear they don't think people can exist if they aren't on Facebook) I have to hide all the politico threads because otherwise it's like I'm at their houses when I'm not, ugh! Nothing is more torturous then 8 people in the same room trying to monologue over each other:-D
That's why I love FaWtL so much :-)

Listen, none of them make a tree grow over your defeated opponent, not even on a natural 20.

I'm a morning person, one of those annoying ones even, you know the type, awake before my feet hit the floor, super chipper and ready to attack the day!
Like my father and grandfather before me, I am the other kind of morning person. The kind who wakes up when it's still dark for no apparent reason, stares at the ceiling until 5 AM, and then figures that since it's almost dawn anyway, they might as well get up and have breakfast or something.

Yeah, here it's more like 30 people in the same room trying to monologue over each other.

Thankfully most of my family/common acquaintances do their political ranting either at church (so I only have to listen to it for the few minutes before/between/after services before I can escape) or over Facebook (which I lack and thus avoid entirely).

Not a morning person. Pretty much useless before 11 am. And I am definitely cranky in the mornings. Basically don't even try to talk to me unless you first provide appropriate offerings of coffee. :P
Except last year when we went to Hawaii for vacation when I was up at 5 am and cheerful about it every day. And conked out every night at 10. As it turns out I can be a morning person if you put me in the right time zone. EST is not that time zone. :D
And I am crazy jealous of the people who can reset their internal clocks. Mine laughs at all attempts to do so and I continue to be a zombie in the mornings even when I've made sure to get enough sleep.

I was actually referring to my 7 brothers and mom :-D
It gets... tiresome to put it politely :-)
