Kidlet is going out for McDonalds with his dad as a reward for good behavior today. And I get to stay at home and hang out in pajamas and hope that the room stops spinning soon. Works all around.
A nekked farewell 69 for ToP!
Now that's FaWTL.
lol. :)
Stress levels...boredom, yourself?*blink*
My my. 150+ posts. Good to see the site is up.
Evening my FAWTLiers. Sup?
Meh. My wife's in Gehenn ... umm New Jersey right now until Friday. Riding herd on the baby monkey and three hyper dogs solo. Pile of laundry I just saw a Sherpa climbing up to deal with, still need to get my Dr. Orpheus summoner PC slapped together for Heathy's CC PbP, and have a crisis on my MMORPG. Oh and a co-worker just quit, throwing everyone's schedule higgledy-piggeldy (as there are but three (now two) of us)
Yup ... life's about average I guess .... =P
What's she doing in NJ?

Managerial class for her work. Three-day odyessy on the Jersey Shore..
I have happy memory of the Jersey shore...they don't include idiots inflicted on the nation.

She's not impressed. But we are rural monkeys and this place isn't close to any of the actual shore...more of an urban sprawl with insane motorists and six-lane highways going hither and thither..At least that's the impression I'm getting from her...
Sounds like she's closer to the Turnpike than the shore. YUCK.

Yeah she's near I95, in Woodbridge, I believe is the name

Ok, so back onto the Star Wars thing ... when my son was three I sat down and watched all 6 Star Wars movies with him over the space of about 6 months, starting with the original trilogy then going to the prequels (we didn’t watch the second two thirds or so of Ep 3, I figured it was a bit too dark).
I kept my comments of what I thought of each movie to myself.
So a while after he’s finished them all, he wants to watch Star Wars again. I asked him if he wanted the one where Anakin is little boy, and he answered, “No, I want the real Star Wars,” (by which he meant Eps 4 to 6). Usually now he asks for “the snow one”.
Now I’m sure he probably picked up on some vibes from me, but I never said explicitly what I thought of each movie and various characters.
So I think it is more than a generational thing, or a “for the time” thing.
Heck, going back to school for the first time in 20 years put me outside my comfort zone. In my English class, there's a gal who's doing it for high school credit. I'm old enough to be her dad. Oof.welcome back to the land of the students. Get prepared for a culture shock. I challenge you to find someone who actually has a view on things while you are there.
Wait. This is college. A lot of folks tend to have 'views' there. Or am I not understanding what you're saying?
I blame codeine bliss.
...and don't forget the song based off of Dune by the best British metal band EVAH!Never heard that one. sigh
Very underrated song. Never seen Maiden play it, but there was a cover band years back that played it. I was ecstatic. Wish I could remember the name they went by.
I blame Captain Trips. Disease! Disease! Spreading the disease!I'm the walking Dude I can see all the world.
It's a tough pick, but arguably I think Among the Living is perhaps my favorite album by them.
Still waiting for that long delayed new release that does have Joey singing. It was great to see them last year when they opened up for Megadeth and Slayer.
Never let it be said that I passed on a 69.** spoiler omitted **
I had a helping hand. It's my job. I secrete to keep things a secret.
That’s some right wisdom there with the peaches Mairkurion.
You're tellin' me, brother.

Speaking of idiots inflicted on the nation...
I recently got around to watching the Roast of Donald Trump that I DVR'ed. Watching 'The Situation' do comedy. was. very. painful. I couldn't bear to watch; I had to fast forward his segment. But boy did they roast on him hard there. He may think it's all in good fun (and most of it is supposed to be), but he's probably too dumb to realize that there's a lot of truth in what the other roasters were saying.
Marlee Matlin's appearance as a roaster caught me off guard. She was a good sport and quite funny. Someone sign her up for a comedy flick.
So I think it is more than a generational thing, or a “for the time” thing.
Agreed. I was 5 years old when SW:ANH came out, so I was at the right impressionable age to absorb all of that and thus a 'fanboi 4 life' despite some of the glaring content that comes with it.

Good night TTFBTE.

Okay, giving it a listen now.

No way is Woodbridge the Shore! She's in urban blight!
Good night, everybody. I left PIE on the sill.

I like how you just threw that ghoul comment out there casually CH ;-)
Haha. I thought to myself, "Maybe, in my advice to AZ, I should use as an example some creature that I'm NOT about to throw into my PbP," and then I thought, "Nah, it'll just be more entertaining when the PCs actually encounter some ghouls in a day or so."

In Iowa there is not much for serious thought appearing in students at community college level, or in the lower classmen at the four year universities.
I love when I roll so abysmally on a perception check that you think, "When did my eyes fall out?". >:P
whats up Moorluck
Looks like a friend of mine from high school, passed away this evening. :(

It was the first album I ever heard. I have only owned that one and return of the killer B's which is all but a best of album. I still giggle when I hear public enemy and Anthrax together.
The truth behind the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Seen it before and still love that one. Reminds me that I ought to visit the Creation Museum for s##ts and giggles some day. It's not far from the lil woman's parents just over the river in KY. The question is whether how long it'll take for them to throw me out of there. It may involve me doing something like this with her 8 month old nephew. :P

Curious ... is metal music even palatable for your ears?

The truth behind the extinction of the dinosaurs.That almost makes a strange sort of sense.
The evil reptile men had a submarine though.

Since I'm slogging away at a community college, we'll see. The only one I've seen given their opinion quite vocally was the street corner preacher across the street from the bookstore quoting bible verses and telling us the end is near and we must turn from our sinful ways. Blah blah.

Watch out for the creepy ones that tell you not to drive down a specific highway. They always KNOW!!

I feel like I'm missing what should be an obvious reference to something...

Morning all
No way is Woodbridge the Shore! She's in urban blight!Sounds like she's closer to the Turnpike than the shore. YUCK.Yeah she's near I95, in Woodbridge, I believe is the name
Yah, I should be more careful with my descriptor. I didn't mean to imply she was sipping a margarita with Snooki at Seaside Heights or anything. This trip is anything but fun. =(
As Spud would say, "New Jersey smells like bad tuna!"

Being right across the river, I can attest to that fact.

Some of it.
Morning, all. 6:30 sure is a cruel time of the morning. Coffee, made!

Yeah, I'm more bucolic NJ. Suburbs at most, rural when possible. The only urban area I can say I really liked was New Brunswick (Rutgers).

Sorry to hear that.
It was a bit of a shock as she was only 36 and the mother of two. It seems to have been rather sudden.
Very sorry, Justin.
