I asked my wife what she wanted to Christmas. She said "Nothing would make me happier than a diamond necklace." So I got her nothing.
That is a gem of a joke.

Oh, yeah! My morning substitute for coffee!
Today the Sun is RED! It's probably because of the fog, but it's a really cool thing to see. It is of a dark orange-red and when I first saw it I was amazed!
I tried to take a shot with my phone, but we seem to see different things...

My soul wants to dance, but my body is a really awkward white guy.
My soul wants to dance too, but my body doesn't get the difference between dancing and epilepsy.

My body seems to produce its own sugar and caffeine, feeding it more gets me to a point that I look like I was into more strong substances xD

I have a friend like that (the same one that tells never ending stories about nothing). You know those drugs they give to you before they drill into your teeth. After they hit him with those He became the most normal person until they wore off.

My girlfriend said she needed space, so I gave her an application for NASA.
But in all seriousness I really do feel sorry for his girlfriend.

Ah, nothing like telling everyone, "Hi! It's my annual vacation time! I'll be mostly out of the office for the next few weeks," to bring out the, "OMG! We need help before NobodysHome leaves!" crowd...

Oh, and I got asked whether I wanted to fly to Europe to bail some people out of another jam.
Apparently, "Not really" is a valid answer...

I can go in your place.
I'm pretty sure I can fake my way through your job, and if I wear chef pants they'll hardly be able to tell the difference.

Oh, gods. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.
Both lisamarlene and I have told legends of "Whingy Wizard"'s play style, which is essentially:
(1) "I am a coward, and will protect my own PC's skin above all else, even if it means abandoning my fellow PCs to certain death."
(2) "I will horn in on every PC-NPC interaction that ever occurs, and will attempt to ruin that relationship, no matter how convivial or beneficial, solely for my own amusement and to prove that I can."
(3) "I will take at least 10 minutes per round deciding what I want to do, and if you try to rush me, I will threaten to leave the game."
(4) "I will rules lawyer every possible ambiguity, up to and including the meaning of the word 'command', always to my benefit, and I will resent any implication that this is in any way, shape, or form, any kind of 'power gaming' or 'cheating'." (Favorite moment from Saturday: He rolled, got a 9, and then said, "Oh, I can take 10 on this can't I? I do that!" When I asked him not to roll and then tell me he took 10, he got VERY upset at me for impugning his honesty. So, let's be honest: I have no idea what he was thinking when he rolled the die, so I could be being unfair. But I'm afraid I still believe if that 9 was a 19, he wouldn't have asked about taking 10.)
So apparently I played up Scarwall a bit too much.
In the first 4 books, loot distribution was remarkably even, though the departure of two low-wealth PCs in favor of WBL replacements skews that a bit.
Along came Scarwall, I convinced them that it was a dangerous, dangerous place, and Whingy Wizard has laid claim to over 140k of the roughly 180k found so far, even going so far as to argue that his wizard needed the +3 glamoured chainmail they found.
The whole, "I pocket the Scarab of Protection in spite of the fact that there are other PCs who need it more" has sent the rest of the players into a tizzy, so I'm going to dutifully send out a loot list along with who took what.
It's a good thing it's over a month before we play again... I think there's going to be a great deal of discussion about distribution of wealth over that time frame.
Fortunately, as a GM, I get to say, "I don't even have NPCs who have a stake in this, so don't involve me."

It's not enough to say "no" to my family because they don't get it.
Lucky for me, I'm not afraid to peddle in absolutes.
"Absolutely not" "no f$#&ing way" and "why would you think I'd want to do that" are all sadly now used the first time.
Of course, it's still better than the General's family's willful ignorance "Captain Yesterday, we never see you anymore" "it was the lying and backstabbing, mostly" "oh, well, hope I see you around again"
Yup, the city life is the life for us.

The older I get, the more I learn that subtlety is lost on most people. Just to use my last example, I'm having a MUCH easier time with Crimson Throne because right there at the table I say, "Don't do that because it pisses me off."
Yes, we've had more heated arguments at the table, but I haven't ANY between-game stress. Just better all around.
