Well, there's a motorcyclist who needs to learn the difference between safe lane splitting and being a moron. Genius gets in between a bus and the curb with maybe a few inches of clearance between the bike and the bus, in a right turn lane. Dude is so lucky the bus driver waited for him to turn before moving.
were they turning right too?
When you're on something like a motorcycle (or bicycle), you sometimes have to be obnoxious with vehicles like buses, otherwise they will hit you, kill you, say they didn't see you, and be believed in court.

I had internet in a few hours rather than the month plus Comcast would have taken.So to add to this week's fun there appears to be something wrong with our modem. So that's tomorrow down the drain while trying to deal with the evil Comcast. And hopefully it will be fixed then. Two days of no wifi already sucks. >.<
I live in an apartment. Choices are for people who live in houses. Apparently. But the internet is back online so I'm guessing this was yet another round of our tech messed the box up again when switching on/shutting off your neighbor's service. Happens. At least it wasn't the modem again so I don't have to spend tomorrow driving to the service center to exchange it for a new one.

Both vehicles were turning right. As somebody with a motorcycle license (albeight a new one), I do not view wedging a bike between a bus and a curb with barely any clearance as anything other than obscenely dangerous.

You know that torurer in the beginning of Skyrim, when you escape execution via dragon attack? I was following the Imperial guy to escape, and the torturer was saying so much stuff that made me angry. So I bashed his face in with a warhammer, and his assistant and the guy I was following didn't even react. They must not like that guy, either.

This. I do it for cakes and such. Just cut off a piece of cold butter and smear it on with your fingers until it is coated. It will change your life :)

All those, plus booze.

then he should have waited. That's just damn impatient.

The only thing that has changed is that I can no longer hold onto things.

You gotta leave the wrapper on the butter stick when you do it, coffee filters also work great at coating pans and such.
Maybe I need a Martha Stewart-esque alias.

Does anyone else have the same hatred of Prius drivers that I do? I find they drive fast to get in front of you then slow down to slower than the speed limit and always seem so damn entitled on the road. Arghhhhhhh don't like them much. Sorta like a BMW driver but slower and not as nice a car.
It's human nature... Or at least human driving nature.
I have seen drivers typically speed up when you try to pass them whether they want to drive slow or not. They automatically try to get around the car ahead of them simply because they want to be in front again whether or not they intend to drive slow. And they close ranks when you move to change lanes, because of course you should always be behind them not in front of them.

We got snow.
We also got spam, advertising a website featuring friendly ladies with no clothes on, many of whom, apparently I probably know, want to meet one for sexeh timez. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but the message ends with:
"We have free slots open for new male members for a limited time only"
Which I thought was very good advertising.

As a marketing guru, it's not bad. I would probably go with something like "We have too many hawt females needing dates men needed immediately!

So, concept of an idea in-development, at present:
Carrion Crown to Creeping Curse: an Egyptian Flavor of CC
I'm working on a Word Document, and have Haunting at Harrowstone as finished as it would need to be for my purposes, though I suppose it's not fit for human consumption (by any other than me and my diseased mind).
It... isn't really that, hard, surprisingly.
EDIT: for tag-fixing.

I'm also thinking of Council of Thieves and Serpent Skull. As a "local" trio with appropriately Egyptian flare, the three actually work fairly well for a series of "local" issues under the over-all reimagining.
For the record, I'm thinking of this pretty much exclusively due to our Blue Rose game and the concept of Hamunaptra across the Western Ocean. I'm... exceptionally unlikely to run those all as BR-related things, though, or even a full AP.
One of the things is that I can easily terms of events to work well within the contexts of the local world (in which case it becomes mostly a matter of flavor and terms), but there are a few mechanical things I need to work out... and compare PF rules to any BR rules and their changes. Also some 3.X things.

Yeah I'm playing Shaggy, Alchemist, with the construct rider archetype (which of course that is the Mystery Machine). I also took whatever Alchemist archetype (can't remember off the top of my head) that allows me to share my mutagen at half strength with allies (that's the Scooby Snacks).
I'm using the Shaggy minifigure and Mystery Machine minifigure from the new Lego dimensions game - it has a spot directly on top where I can have Shaggy sit when he's 'mounted'.
