we like to be well-prepared and efficent on our vacations, they are not for fun aren't they ;-)Buy why do buy moose-poo? I mean... why?I know about the german tourist obsession with moose (and the scandinavian puzzlement about that)
but that we actually buy moose-poo is new to me. is there a clever marketing behind it or are we just that stupid ? :-D
You do indeed buy moose-poo (or at least did a few years back). From what I understand, it started with a farmer out on Hunneberg (plateau-mountain with loads of moose on it) seeing German tourists picking up moose-droppings as souvenirs, deciding that next year he would be ready for them.
And I'd rather you kept doing that than stealing the moose-warning traffic signs. ;)

Pretty good. Getting a little breathing space at work, finally, after several months of 70+ hour work weeks and nasty office politics. Things have settled down a bit, for now, at least.
Gaming has been awesome, if less frequent than I'd like. I'm thoroughly enjoying my paladin, and the adventure we have going right now. :)
Other than that, life is life, and a little more roller-coastery than usual lately.

Hi! Although the majority of you know where to find me. Had to drop in briefly to bring support to a tentacled friend.
And with that note, there's a Rule 34 alert notifying me. Ciao!

Cool! Are you playing an AP?
I agree. At 23, I bought my own car and wasn't too far from buying my own condo.I'm interested in knowing WHEN you lived at 23.FIFY
I mean, I'm 24, and can barely afford my crappy apartment. And I got lucky--I found a $500 used car that runs great on 160,000 miles, have at least a couple relatives that are lending me money for school, and I don't have a family to support. Recently, medical bills have been getting a little scary, but aside from that, I've got it a lot easier than a lot of guys my age. And it's still a b&!*$.
And just for the record, being forced to go in and out of school and a bunch of different jobs due to failing mental/physical health in one's mid-twenties is also a f$&+ing b~&!#.
My POV? - Your generation has it a lot worse than I had at that age. In the mid-80s you could find work and support yourself and a family. Today's prices and demands make it a lot tougher.
Kajehase: Don't you dare apologize. I can't afford the plane ticket to go kick your ass right now.
Are you sure that's Lindisty? ::Cleans monocle::

No, it's a homebrew, and a continuation of a former campaign, with a partially continuing cast of characters and a few newbies. We're about to venture into the Hells to defeat an imprisoned demon that's bound to the evil red dragon who's terrorizing the world. I foresee lots of SMITING in my paladin's future. I love SMITING things. :)
Urizen! Lindisty!
How goes it!? Long time no see, folks. Welcome back to FaWTLyland! Hope to see you around a little more often. :)
Thanks, Oh Studly, Puffinly One. I hope to be around more often. :)

Looks like me. Who else would it be?

This is a safe place to share and vent. I wish I could reach out and help your nation's hurt and loss. I'm sad that I am largely helpless to do so; I can only imagine how much more painful it is for you.

Uh. Dude. Me need stay at your place til me get money for return flight.

The entire situation is a downer. This isn't about politics here, this is about a friend stressed, for good reason, over a deplorable situation. Vent. No one here will complain.

Reading or listening. You don't want to believe the level of callousness and cruelty that humanity is capable of, or the amount of suffering that it has inflicted.

It's simply awful.
I was in Japan for September 11, 2001 - teaching students.
The faculty the next morning immediately asked me how I was doing. The students commiserated. The staff let me do classes that first week on the emerging news as we learned more.
Having a place to talk about things is important. Don't deny us the ability to lend what small support we can offer.

Well, what a tragic weekend, events in Oslo having reminded me just what evil human beings are capable of.
Makes me even more pissed off about all these ‘Is it evil if ...?’ threads. Figure it out people, it’s not that hard, and it’s a GAME. Getting all worked up over the minutia of what is or isn’t an evil action in a game (so you can figure out whether or not a character is penalised in some way) just seems to trivialise the real evil in the world.

No doubt. I do worry though that those types of questions even come up. It means some people have little to no grasp of what those concepts are, and worse yet do not understand that they don't. Events like this in the real world should give a clearer understanding. Not make things more muddy.
Wow. Quiet.

I'm going to be doing a Show and Tell of Book of Drakes for my department at work. It's kinda surreal.

I've read similar things. Higher education was also one of the things that has had its price explode in the last 20 years.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I think it's going to be one of those weeks. Rough night. Starting to look like a rough week.
Not to mention, I think I've got "Flhand Cramps" from all the troll posts I've been flagging.
Don't resolve your anger through flagging of trolls, it'll only make your week rougher. Drink Haterade: BRAINS instead.

By the casual reading I've been doing mostly in silence, that flagging looks more like a bukkake circle jerking marathon around here as of late. Some posters seem to show less rationale than a 1500+ page manifesto by a schizophrenic Norwegian poster boy for self-serving ecclesiastical National Socialism herp derp.
I propose a new course of action. I've been speaking to Darth Sidious lately ... Don't let the expanded universe canon lie to you. He lives.
