So, I had her in my lap last night...
More seriously, a local restaurant was putting on a Valentine's Day burlesque show so NobodysWife insisted that we had to go. So "rough" weekend: Kreator and Sabaton Saturday night, then a burlesque Sunday.
Work's a bear today, but both Red Bone and Sadira were amazing dancers. Sadira was the best: "I'm going to make your jaws drop to the floor without taking my clothes off."
The musculature on that woman was nothing short of epic, and she could control every muscle in her body.Just one of those performances that makes you go, "Holy carp! The human body is an amazing thing! And with enough training, what you can do with it is Re truly insane."
I don't know Sadira's history, but I'm guessing at least 6 years of professional dance school. She was that good.
Freehold loves burlesque.
Possibly more than strip shows.

Honestly, as long as you show up (doesn't have to be on time, in fact you should probably be a bit late) and are somewhat pleasant to everyone no one would probably notice, or care.

It really was. And yes, I’m still that far back, but catching up.

I think my players were upset they didn't get WBL, or for that matter, any loot. Unfortunately the nature of the mod being what it is, doesn't have it and I'm not inserting any.
You see, I post from phone. I like easy copy and paste jobs. At the rate I was going, I definitely do not have the time to look at the loot lists and adjust for APB, which I did tell them before, though I did say I like seeing players having to adjust for what the mod gives.
Since it all takes place in your dreams.
As a player I don't care much about loot. If there's something I want, I try to think of ways to craft my @ss off to get it. I'm not waiting for loot to drop down from the sky. Or live without it. I'm happy to just Greater Magic Weapon at level 7 because I couldn't afford a magical bow. Imo, no loss. My cleric only had 14 wis so he wasn't using those spells offensively anyway. Greater magic vestment is a thing too.
Honestly I think published APs spend too much time on jewelery descriptions. Just say a pile of gold coins, or a sapphire worth 100gp etc. Again I've never been big on descriptions.

please tell me nobodyswife was seated to your left and lisamarlene was seated to your right.
Tell me slave leia outfits were involved.
Oh, the outfits were much skimpier than slave Leia.
No lisamarlene, though...

How we make pressure cookers explode...this is FATWL, and craziness is to be expected. So yeah, some of us are pryomaniacs and like to see big booms?
In all seriousness: The last time we used one was in the 1980s. Technology isn't what it used to be, so all those fancy safety features you weren't talking about might not have been there.

The one I grew up with was from the 1960s. And it had an open vent on the top, and then a weight you put on top of the vent. The weight ensured the pressure inside got to a certain point and no higher.
Maybe it's just a "U.S. Safety Law" thing, but I've never seen a pressure cooker where the vent wasn't an intrinsic part of the design, so it would practically take a welder or some epoxy to make the thing blow up...

And there's a thread that offers Internet Explorer 8 for the 64-bit Windows 8. All of the text on the thread is in Russian. Anyone here doesn't believe that the offered IE8 has been hacked?
It's not IE8. It's a Russian knock-off. I wouldn't install it if you value your identity, either.

Looks like a lot of belly dance training. She's definitely pro-level.
You should see some of the professional belly dancers. The ones from competitions are all jaw-dropping. Those are women who know how to move their bodies in ways I can't even imagine trying.

A 1980s space heater is a great way to burn down your house, but a terrible way to heat it.

I'll tell you I can't watch belly dancing any kind of nudity makes me feel uncomfortable. Yes, I am a prude. Sowwie!
LOL. You and Hi are going to get along great!
There are shows we just can't watch with him in the room because if there's nudity in it, he can't watch it. He just gets too uncomfortable.

You see at the end of the day, I'm just a geeky bookworm that lives more in imaginary realms then reality, so I have really very little interest in this kind of thing.
You know stories with any mushy romantic bits? I'll skip all of it since it makes me uncomfortable.

Strangely enough I have no issues seeing people of the same sex naked for the purposes of bathing. I mean it's not as if you've got anything I don't, and mine are probably bigger then yours, anyway.
Besides if we're sharing a cubicle it's probably because there aren't enough to go around, and we really should get the bathing done with so the next batch can get their baths too. Be considerate.

Out of curiosity is Hi married? Maybe marriage changes you in the sense that you will end up seeing your partner naked, so perhaps the human body fazes you less.
#1: Hi was married, but has not been married for 15+ years now.
#2: I think it's more your upbringing. My father was a rather obsessed pervert, so all of us were exposed to nudity from a very young age. We never had any issues with seeing other people naked. (Not caring about other people seeing me naked took until I was in my 20s.) I tried to raise my kids to not care, but society pressured them into fearing both their own and other people's nudity in person, but it doesn't bother them in shows.
As I've said, I don't like talking about Hi's personal life because he's a very private person, but he's such Romantic Comedy fodder it's not even funny. "Oh, look at that poor homeless man with the heart of gold! I think I'll befriend him and keep him company! Oh, what a sweet, kind man! His net worth is WHAT?!?!?!? What the **** is he doing living out of a car?!?!?"
Hi irritates me no end because he has enough money to live comfortably the way he's living for the next 25-30 years, travel the world as he wants to, and he doesn't expect to live beyond that so why worry?
It's a depressingly-sensible mindset, but I figure I need to plan to live to 100, so I'm getting a bit more in savings and living a bit more luxuriously before I retire...

Fair enough. Internet we must respect privacy. I know people who are like Hi too(in terms of lifestyle). Well at least people here don't live out of a car.
Also I think Caucasians are more casual about nudity then Asians are anyway. Nude beaches and all etc.

And speaking of teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty in their attempts to give all teachers a bad name (we were, weren't we?):
Impus Major is not good at math, so I work with him. His math teacher knows this. In fact, he knows that:
(a) I work with Impus Major extensively on his math homework
(b) I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics
(c) Impus Major has gotten a straight-up A in math all this year.
So he implemented a new rule: If you don't check your answers in the back of the book, and show that you checked them by putting a check mark in ink next to every problem, then you lose 25% of your homework score.
Considering I helped pay for grad school by writing solutions manuals and error-checking the solutions in the backs of books, I dare say I am far more qualified than the back of the book to determine whether an answer is correct.
Color me livid.

Sounds arbitrary, and you may need to edit the names out, NH. Privacy and all.
But not all parents are you, again. Asking me to do Maths for example, would be inviting a disaster.
How do I say it, I can actually understand Maths if I put my mind to it, assuming it isn't too complex, but for some weird reason I make a sh*t ton of careless mistakes when I do it.
So I generally tell the world Maths eats the thoughts out of my head.

But yes, when occasion arises for dealing with D&D Maths I can be fking precise. To consider I did actually do the attacks for charge, pounce, power attack + bard song +flag bearer perfectly accurately for an animal companion I'd say that to say I can't do Maths completely wouldn't be true.

Thank you! It's harder when I tirade!
I mean, honestly, anyone on FaWtL who really wanted to track me down has enough information to get my name, home address, phone number, and everything else. But that's no biggie to me.
It's the mindless global megacorporations that want my information; THAT"s what I try to avoid.
I was proud when Shiro tried to assault me with his home-brew, "Find out everything about anybody search engine" (he said he usually got 9-10 pages a person), and he got:
My name
My birthday
It was less than half a page.
I try to lay low on the intrawebs. Of course, I've been around since its pre-birth (we played games on the Arpanet when we were kids), so I've learned more paranoia than most.

Isn't that vandalism?
Insufficient specificity on my part: You do the homework on binder paper in pencil, then put a checkmark on the binder paper in pen to indicate that you checked it in the back of the book.

Actually part of my job involves translating the company financial statements into a form and figuring out which stuff ends up where and how the figures are derived is Maths too. I grumble quite some whenever I do it, but at the end of the day, it gets done.
So yeah, you do what you need to do. I'm all about expediency.
And yes, even if it leaves a trail of hurt feelings along the way.

Chinese New Year is coming soon (16-18 Feb). The cultural context is that it’s a time we go around visiting our relatives and getting hong bao(red packets), if you’re kids. Its generally the kids favourite time of the year since visiting relatives = endless round of snacking + get to collect money.
For the adults – its probably just a time to catch up with your relatives. Depending on how close to them I am – I may feel awkward, since I usually don’t do the talk to strangers (like relatives you only see once per year) things well. What am I supposed to talk about, the weather?
Anyway, enough of that.
15 Feb will be our reunion dinner – we’ve always hosted it (yeah I know my food parties are…infamous). It seems we’re always having a food party sometime or another or at any drop of the hat.
Anyway – traditionally the reunion dinner is always a hot pot. At least we call it steamboat, but the rest of the world calls it Hot Pot, so we’ll leave it as hot pot for the reason of better understanding.
The soup I think(I had a hand in suggesting what goes in), will be of pork bones + dried s+%~ake mushrooms + cabbage + dried scallops and some leeks. Usually we make it out of pork bones + chicken feet – but this year everyone’s coughing so we’re trying to avoid chicken. In Chinese culture, we feel that eating chicken aggravates the cough.
Here are the ingredients we will be having available for the hot pot.
1) Grouper slices
2) Prawns
3) Scallops
4) clams
5) Pork Collar Shabu Shabu
6) Shimeji mushrooms
7) Peeled quail eggs
8) Capsicum stuffed with fish paste bought from a store
9) Xiao bai cai
10) Chinese cabbage
11) Fish plates spread on plates
12) Fried fish maw
13) Black Fungus
14) Canned abalone
15) Dumplings stuffed with fishpaste and minced meat
16) Tofu
I even bought the chilli dip specially from a restaurant.
It’s dinner for 7 people.
Drool, FAWTL, Drool!

So, I may be attacking my kids with a flock of vrocks on Wednesday. And so arises the question: Do I try to set up an entire "Fox in Socks" homage for an encounter they're just as likely to miss?
