A sign that should be up on the wall in the office.
'Female employees are kindly reminded that the Stress Banana is not to be:
A) Put down, or up, any lower or upper body garments whatsoever
B) Waggled about in front of the crotch
C) Used to slap other employees around the face
Especially now it has gone flaccid.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

They obviously need one of these.
And be sure to read the customer reviews. They are very helpful. Two wolf moon revisited.

Wow, who knew that dealing with charitable organizations and corporate matching could be such a mess?
Impus Major's Choir Teacher: Hey, Nameless Administrator! Can you verify NobodysHome's donation for me?
Nameless Administrator: We have no record of such a donation.
NobodysHome: WHAT?!!??! Here's the receipt right here!!!
Nameless Administrator: Ooooh... it's a corporate matching donation. Those are kept in a different system...
While NobodysHome waits, he downloads his receipt. It's to a foundation in frigging OHIO!!!! NobodysHome hits the roof
NH: OK. Now I *really* need to know whether or not you got that donation, because the receipt is showing Ohio, not Albany.
NA: Please hold...
So, I did the legwork myself, and sure enough the Albany, California education funds are managed by a company based in Hudson, Ohio. It all looks like it's on the up-and-up... EXCEPT Nameless Administrator is still having trouble finding any record of my donation...
...SOOOOO irritated!!!!

One of my buggiest complaints with the rules.
"So all the underlying system issues are still there, but here's a bunch of extra knobs and whistles to play with!"
Yeah. In many ways I love it for that exact reason (not the system issues, but that it's basically the same+more), but it also sometimes leads to the sense of being overwhelmed, accidental trap options, or super-powered things that people love, but then don't work in certain settings and thus getting nerfed.
I suspect that one of the reasons I have such fond memories of 3.X is that I was never really aware of the errata or publications of corrections or any such thing until somewhere near the end.
I'm glad Paizo permits and encourages such quick response time, but it can be kind of draining to not only have to track so many different options, but also their changes and alterations, and whatnot.
I strongly prefer the idea of the CMB/D, but it doesn't really seem to work as it should, for example.
Anyway, Paizo is awesome, and I'm not trying to disparage PF by any means - it's just that I can definitely see the overwhelming crush of options seeming too intimidating to people - decision-fatigue.
I wish I was able to complete Orfamay's rather ridiculous "fighter fix" that I love and want to implement, but I just burned out - too many feats, too many trees, too many paths to follow by only the letter "F" (or maybe "G"? I've forgotten), and so many more were being published so quickly that I literally couldn't keep up.
I still want to see that happen some day...

"So all the underlying system issues are still there, but here's a bunch of extra knobs and whistles to play with!"
Funny... I was just whining to Shiro's player about this exact same thing. PF's original rules are complex enough, with half a dozen types of buffs, five different kinds of actions, attacks of opportunity, grapples, and so forth.
Yet every AP feels the need to add MORE rules and MORE complexity, and we never see the really confusing stuff explained. (I still harp on, "Just how DOES Neutralize Poison work against multiple doses of the same poison?")
And yeah, it was Scarwall that brought about this discussion:
The AP: "The entryway is a permanent Phase Door spell, keyed to clerics of Zon Kuthon of 9th level or higher."
Text of Phase Door: You can allow other creatures to use the phase door by setting some triggering condition for the door. Such conditions can be as simple or elaborate as you desire. They can be based on a creature's name, identity, or alignment, but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities. Intangibles such as level, class, HD, and hit points don't qualify.
For a homebrew game, if you, as the GM, need to bend the rules a bit to tell the story, I really have no issue. But in an AP published by the same company that purportedly is the arbiter of those rules, if the authors can't work within the stated rules, what hope do we have?

I for one will never stop laughing at the idea that if there is a tiny super-dodgy thing with a giant AC flitting around casting spells, the best way to kill it is to Greater Sunder whatever it is wearing and let the overflow damage finish it.

I suppose it may be worth noting that Inactually have no money to tasks at this time. So if you "take my money" you'd actually just be taking bills, and I'd get richer (i.e. broke) and you'd get poorer. While Od be okay with that, I suspect that any "you" reading this would not. Maybe in a few months, though...

Hey, everyone.
Found this on Youtube. Aranna mentioned this as one of her favorite AMVs a while back. Enjoy.

In the past week:
-The ceiling in the kitchen has started to bubble ominously underneath where the bathroom is at...
-The drain system for the kitchen sink let go under one of the sinks...
-Our radiators have started making odd gurgling sounds perhaps indicating a leak in the system...
...2017, you better not be like 2016, you hear me?

I don't know what's going on now. I checked into my flight with connections to New York City and Phoenix on the way to San Jose, and recieved boarding passes for a flight to San Jose with only a connection to Dallas. All the ticket people knew was that my ticket was exchanged late last night, not why. It's in my favor, given that it cuts 4 hours off my journey, so I certainly shall not be complaining, but it's rather mysterious what happened.

Or this if you like MOBAs.
That one's nice too. I especially like how the guy with the horned helmet pulled a "Loki."

Havemorecaffeine!!!
Heh. That reminds me of something the youngest of my two brothers came up with in the '90s, while working as a security guard. He called it a "Headbanger." 1) Take a double-strength Espresso run through a Cappucino machine. 2) Pour in a can of Coca-Cola. 3) Dissolve into that two tablets of No Doze. 4) Add Sugar to taste.
Caution! This could lead to Caffeine Overdose. One day, he came home shaking uncontrollably, so Mother took him to the ER. He had Acute Caffeine Overdose. To this day, he won't touch Coffee.
