The thing is, no one else at work knows about my Paizo Identity (they think RPG stands for rocket propelled grenades, which might also add to my legend ("dude, i heard he plays with RPGs on the weekend" "Is... Is that legal?").
Happy little coincidences are fun.
I'm much deadlier with improvised weapons, I wouldn't want to waste my creativity on predetirmined armaments.

*sigh* My normal spiel: And we have a complementary breakfast from 6 - 10
Guest 1 minute later: and do you guys have breakfast?
ME: *nod yes*
from what time?
ME: 6 - 10.
Guest: is it free?
me: yes
Yep. Just last night I said "Breakfast is tomorrow from 6 till 10," and as I finished that statement the guy said "When's breakfast?" Happens all the time. Is it really that hard to listen to what I'm saying?

Or have one taken down, stone by stone, shipped to California, and rebuilt. That can't be too expensive, right?

We did actually have an inquiry like that in the office a few years ago, unfortunately there was no follow up.

But you have to build it above the clouds for the Gargoyles to come back to life.
I don't know...Then someone might try to reboot the cartoon, and I think I'd rather leave it as a fond memory rather than letting it be ruined. That's also why I don't think I would want to watch it again. I'm sure I would be disappointed.

I re-watched it. It was still good except for the last season where they changed everything, animation style, writers etc. Kind of like what happened to the last season of X-men the animated series.

Edinburgh is beautiful, as always, and we had a fantastic dinner at The Arcade. The rain made everyone not want to go walkies, though, so we’re leaving Edinburgh un-sightseen for the moment. This means Lord Synos will likely get a walk up the Royal Mile, dinner at The Arcade, and a ghost tour, because ghost tours! Whee!
Woop woop! Looking forward to it. ^_^

I gave you the access codes to a numbered Swiss bank account with $1,000,000 in it. Shame you weren't paying attention. It's gone now.

I've lost count of the amount of times that was said and there was no breakfast at the specified time. That said, con weekends are different than normal ones.

there were a few comics that came out set after the tv series that were good. I got them for a friend, who in turn got them autographed by elizas voice actor.

I can guess who that was from.
However, there's probably a law somewhere against fortifying your property without Royal Assent, on pain of having both droictes and soccage mulcted by the vice-sheriff of the Cinque Ports.

Do you mean Garfield? Garfield's just a lazy cat. I have to wake up ar 2:30 in the morning, with less than optimal sleep.
No. Gazorpazorpfield.
You milk toast...um...(almost goes on a Gazorpazorpfield quote fest)...
I'm Gazorpazorpfield, b$!!&!
(To the clueless, it's a Rick and Morty reference)

I was sweating this week. First time since moving out of Florida, more or less. Then I stood in the shade, and to my surprise, it helped, which blew my mind - until I realized it isn't 99.999% humidity here in the mountains.
It's been almost a year, and I still say
F%$$ Florida. F&** it in it's wang-shaped geography.
The weather here is GLORIOUS. Summer is, comparatively speaking, a joke. Winter isn't nearly as bad as everyone said it would be.
...and my beard has grown to a lovely accoutrement to represent my Appalachian hillbillitude.

So, I planned to do laundry in Inverary because we’re here for 2 nights...
...except with a local population of 693, the closest place to do laundry is a 10-minute drive when it’s *not* the biggest festival of the year in town (which starts tomorrow, explaining our presence).
Looks like we’ll stink ‘til France, and the French won’t notice. They make soap, they don’t use it.

You live. In the Bay Area. And you're complaining about a drive that ought to be ten minutes, but there's (gasp!) TRAFFIC?!?
Seriously?
Cry me a river.

Just wait until you feel a breeze.
