Train your dog to shit on their lawn.
Of course, if you don't have a dog, that's also a great reason to get one.
It was a fun first day back, no rust whatsoever.
For whatever reason I read this in the same voice as that lady in The Shop Around the Corner (in the movie You've Got Mail) talking at their finances to that one famous author.
"No change whatsoever~!"
(In the film, this was a lie. I am not in the habit of presupposing falsehood on the part of cy. I still read it in that tone of voice, however, and it amuses me.)
((Also, I cannot, for the life of me, find that scene available online. Sigh. I'll drown my sorrow by listening to JoCo.))

I would like to just say I think broccoli is delicious.
Meh…
Broccoli isn't for me...but then again I'm a picky eater, so most of those weird white or green vegetables aren't really for me either.Y'all remember a couple of months ago when Whingey Wizzard had three levels of interviews for a job with a company that he really wanted to work for, and they told him at the final interview that they really wanted him, and then they picked someone else for the job?
About a week and a half ago, they called him and said, "Yeah, so we're sorry about that, but we have this OTHER position open up, and we'd like you to resubmit your materials for this one. Oh, and btw, it's director-level."
So the interview is this morning at 9:00.
If it goes well, second-round interviews will be Monday, and whoever they pick will start May 1st.
Part of me is pissed off because I'm just assuming he won't get it and they're just d**king us around again.
But the job really is kinda right for him.
I don't want to get my hopes up again. But, geez, this would change EVERYTHING.
*Crosses fingers and toes for WW*
Let hope for the best LM, though I can understand your reluctance to doing so.
*Sends LM a hug and a back-pat*

Haha, we are both LARPers. We can do reasonable acting. Also, I lost my sense of shame ages ago.
Honestly, I think if we adopt a kitty apprentice, there wont be much happening, because kitty will play with the ropes. Altough that is also fun.

Aren't the Hounds of Tindalos the ones that police time? I may be misremembering.True, those do too, but so do Bythos Aeons.
The bythos are guardians of time and planar travel—indeed, to bythos, the act of aging is nothing more than a highly specialized method of travel. Although bythos themselves have no additional method of traveling through time, they scour the multiverse, hunting for creatures that do have the ability to time-travel and may have abused this ability.
The Hounds are less "policing" time and more that...Aren't the Hounds of Tindalos the ones that police time? I may be misremembering.Sort of? But they are also stupid, weird about right angles, and, most importantly, chaotic evil. So they’re mostly in it because they fin you interesting and want to hunt.
Bythos are at least neutral, but that only means they aren’t actively malicious. Instead, they are part of an entirely inscrutable neutral (neither good nor evil) Overmind (who they serve with no real higher understanding than our nervous individual neurons in our nervous system have beyond the impulse that passes through them) that behaves for no discernible reason in exceedingly particular ways, and is entirely unable to be contacted to comment on said behavior. They don’t particularly want to tear this planet apart for no good reason, but it was told to do so, so it’s gotta be something wrong with all of them due to time travel! (The inhabitants are also unsure why.)
At least the insvitables will tell you crimes-apparent you committed.
(There are also other creatures that live in the demiplane of time - the ivrii, or something? (Or maybe I’m just confusing their name with my Judaism-equivalent Ivri in my home game... anyway, I just found them recently) - who also police time, but their criteria, while still odd, at least has more of a semblance of reason to it.)
is this golarion, cthulu, or both?

Geez. It is SOOOOOOO nice to have a group of workers who are actually willing and permitted to communicate with you.
On Monday the roofers worked all day until the rain came in around 4:30 or 5:00 pm, and then vanished. They weren't around on Tuesday at all, yet there were still gaping holes in the stucco. No communication at all.
This morning the solar guys showed up. I pointed out the holes in the stucco and they said, "Oh, no! The roofers aren't going to leave it like that! They'll be back!"
Sure enough, the roofers showed up around 10:00 am to start their final touch-ups.
At lunch, I went outside and asked the solar guys how much work they had left. They were honest: 2 1/2 days, but the panels are on order and they're at the mercy of the inspector, so in a perfect world where all the stars align they could be done on Friday, but more likely it's going to spill into next week as they wait for the panels and the inspector.
THANK YOU for being willing to talk to me!
(Having just been at the ER where telling anyone anything was considered akin to treason, having people willing to talk to me is just plain refreshing.)

OK, this is a kind of cool thing I'd never thought of.
As you know, we're playtesting Shiro's AP for him in the hopes he'll publish it next year (or maybe 2021, depending on how long it takes to get artists and editors to clean it up and format it).
The end of Book 5 fell flat for both the players and the GM, and poor communication and planning left us suddenly over 30% below expected WBL, which at our level is over 100,000 gp. Kind of significant.
So we've chatted and he's got an idea as to how to improve it, and we're actually going to play a "do over".
"Forget what happened last week. I've rewritten it and you're doing it over this week."
I'm actually looking forward to it. And it's the first time I'll be participating in a voluntary do-over to improve the writing...

I saw the new Hellboy today.
Like Vany already wrote... It isn't good movie. But it's a hell-a-fun movie.
Though if I wasn't decently acquainted with the comics, I am pretty sure I'd found it much worse - the presentation, the writing, the screenplay, and the direction were quite messed and reliant on recognizing (somehow mangled, though still closer than Del Toro's version) plotlines and snippets from the series.

It occurs to me that Wheel of Time is kind of a story of tyranny rising.
Spoilered for those who haven't and may want to read it:
The White Tower is an institution descended from the utopian Age of Legends, and while it definitely has an internal hierarchy and a heavy dependence on physical punishment (as does everyone in WoT), Aes Sedai do have a lot of personal freedom. So long as they don't embarrass the Tower and generally respect its traditions, they can pretty much do what they please.
Then Egwene agrees to be the rebels' Amerlyn -- which was idiotic of her IMO, she knew the sitters intended her to be a puppet and/or a patsy in the event that Elaida prevailed. Anyhow, Egwene figures out how to establish real authority over the sitters and what does she do? She starts coercing Aes Sedai to swear personal fealty to her -- not to the Tower, to her -- like a feudal lord.
I'm not entirely sure that I blame her, given her circumstances. The rest of her world does operate on feudalism, and Tower tradition does impose a very conservative hierarchy on sisters -- an Aes Sedai is either inferior or superior to any other given Aes Sedai, so in order to get out from under the thumbs of the Sitters who see themselves as above her, it may seem the only option is to put herself above all others as definitively as possible.
Just something I never thought about on my first read-thru.

They're good, believe me, they're good. Or I wouldn't be getting 6 people in the office ordering 27 dumplings. They're rather pricy though. $3.50 for dumplings without salted egg, $4.00 with.
Just for comparison, other dumpling chains are selling them at $2.90

I am delighted.
I complained to the city.
xxx: Please confirm with <the construction company> that these notices are indeed for tomorrow. If so, there are out of compliance with their encroachment permit and likely their contract with <your city>. Please have them correct the dates on the ‘no Park’ signs to reflect 72 hour notice and remind them of their obligations. I expect that they would have known before today that they would be moving equipment and starting work on the next section. Is there something we should be doing to better understand their schedule? The schedule I have shows them on NobodysHome's street <in May>.

Both, more or less. The original Hounds of Tindalos story only described them tangentially, through the vague impressions of the narrator and viewpoint character, and only as beastial creatures. Their PF incarnation is pretty accurate to this, with only moderate intelligence and bestial cunning.
Likewise, as dangerous as they are, they exert no control or command over the timestream - they simply move through it in an abnormal way.
Rule question: Does a greensting scorpion gain an additional feat when it comes a familiar, gains intelligence score and loses mindless property?
According to Hero Labs, yes, yes it does.
Tomorrow's going to be fun. I did my utmost to get the garage clear, and by my measurement I have approximately 174" of space.
The 2006 Toyota Prius' official length is 175".
So tomorrow morning I'll just throw it in and see what happens.
That's more than enough room!

Herolabs also forgets to remove mindless quality when it turns a familiar, so I heard.
And where does this statement come in:"A familiar is an animal chosen by a spellcaster to aid him in his study of magic. It retains the appearance, Hit Dice, base attack bonus, base save bonuses, skills, and feats of the normal animal it once was, but is now a magical beast for the purpose of effects that depend on its type"

I feel your pain. I have been in one too. I hope things inprove on your end soon, Vidmaster7.
You too. Go like destroy a village or something to make us both feel better.
Breaking out the fart jokes. classy.
It's like when people are in a public area telling a personal story and get all upset when I comment on it.
Yeah Ive been in a grouchy mood of late too. Closed down Ironfang Invasion, decided that it's not worth it trying to make things work. I guess I should admit I'm suffering from burnout and just don't do anything more on the RPG end.
Sometimes you just got to take a break.
Ahh, the intelligence of youth. These guys are in town to compete in the NCAA Men's Gymnastics tournament, so obviously the best thing to be doing at 12:20am on the first day of the tournament is to be playing cards in the hotel lobby. No need to sleep, of course. It's not like being well rested would be beneficial. Nope, not at all.

That's dumb. Body building manual says FFS get 7-9 hours of sleep. Something I've been unable to do ><
Too little sleep also makes you more likely to gain weight(of the fat variety).
Anyway when you're busy spending your time arguing rules with people instead of spamming FAWTL, that's when something is wrong.
