For years I was with T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan, paying $100/year ($8.66/month) for 1000 minutes that I never used. Other cell phone companies would call and say, "We bet we can save you money! How much do you pay for your current mobile plan?"
When I answered, they'd just hang up.
By the time I switched to Verizon, I had over 3500 minutes saved up. I just don't use my phone all that often. People who call me on it or text me just don't know me very well.
So yeah, I'm paying a comparatively ludicrous amount for Verizon (roughly $38/device per month), but considering Impus Minor and NobodysWife are burning through 2 GB of data per month, plus thousands of minutes in calls, I figure if I were paying T-Mobile for similar service for their phones I'd probably be paying nearly as much.
(My favorite part is that the base fee is ludicrous, but then each additional phone is just $10/month. So technically I'm paying barely more than I was for T-Mobile...)
EDIT: And I have to admit, hearing all the nightmare stories about Verizon tech support makes me happy to have the corporate plan. I think I mentioned it before, but when a friend was complaining about how bad Verizon was and I said, "Wow, they always answer on the first or second ring for me," we compared numbers.
And of course Global Megacorporation has its own Verizon hotline. Kinda figures, but it was still funny learning that the fantastic support I was receiving was NOT normal...

What's unnerving is that, in voicemail, Freehold's voice sounds very similar to the Pseudo-Russian's voice in voicemail. So he could potentially call and pretend to be the pseudo-Russian and possibly fool someone.
This new bit of info totally fits into my preconceptions of Freehold's superpowers.

Is it Dustin Diamond.
I understand he's been stabbing people at bars in the northwoods.
I could take care of Dustin, if you'd like.
Seriously, though, Cap. If the hand turns black, it will have to be amputated. Because of gangrene.
I could take care of that hand too. No pressure, just offering.

They are not his friends if they allowed that to happen.So, the General's brother was supposed to go in for surgery today to see about saving his hand, but apparently he ditched it to go fishing with his buddies up north.
Way to eschew regional and gender stereotypes.
My sister's hubby and his male family are very similar. They had habits like sawing 2x4s by laying the stud on the floor, propping the to-be-cut end up with their foot, and then cutting with a circular saw. No, they didn't own steel toe boots and it probably wouldn't have helped. Yes, each of them sawed part of a boot and still kept doing it. My sis finally convinced him to stop doing this and many other Florida Man-style antics, but not all of them. Some family dynamics just ingrain and enforce this level of not thinking about consequences.
Edit: This state really should hold an annual Florida Man Awards.

Sadly, no. Most Native Floridians have evolved/mutated to reproduce by budding, spores, assimilation, infectious bites, and similar avenues. A Darwin Award winner in Florida would likely need to use a copious area-effect of high-heat fire and sterilizing radiation.

I seem to be immune so far to catching the F-Virus, likely from being an outsider. However, Amby Slaad-spawn have a high tolerance for Alton Brown and high-heat + high-humidity environments, and a low-tolerance for cold. Likewise, you will begin to make Driving skill checks as if you were taught by Mr. Toad and the mail carrier from Funny Farm (1988).

Thats sad. Hmm... What would I bring to a potluck? Osmanthus ice jelly? Orange sponge cake?
Osmanthus ice jelly depends if I can get ice jelly powder in the states. Not to mention the Osmanthus flowers. Again I could do green tea ice jelly or lemongrass ice jelly.
You know when you get right down to it, I don't really cook that much that when you ask me about a main dish I start drawing blanks?
Yeah I'm more of a cakes/desert person but I can do a decent job marinating chicken wings.
I could try party beehoon but it's been a while since I've done that, or I could go cook up some spaghetti.

You see I don't know if it's a curse or blessing to KNOW foods, in the sense I know what you shouldn't do with certain foods.
For example a lot of Chinese cuisine emphasizes on eating the food piping hot, so on potluck those dishes aren't that a good idea.
Like steamed fish tends to get fishy once it cools, so doing that for potluck is definitely out. The stuff that is easier on takeaway would be braised/stewed pork, which requires 3 hours minimum pre-stewing time.
I could do stir fried catfish in dark soya sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli, but again I don't know how much spice the average American can take.
There's always the sambal catfish but that is seriously spicy.
The funny thing is I can marinate chicken wings for a barbecue, but the cooking part... Urm. I haven't done it yet? Yeah I've certainly got some gaps in my culinary education.
Otherwise we could do stir fried broccoli with scallops/limpets, I suppose.

Also, I think my dice are sad that I'm not GMing now. We started Ruins of Azlant yesterday (I'm playing a Monk based on Macho Man Randy Savage), and the best roll I got all night was an 18 on an Initiative check. My best attack roll was a 7. So, other than bring the humor, I was very ineffectual.
I always found monks except for zen Archers underpowered. If I feel like doing a melee class, I'm rolling a ranger.
