The other day I saw a frog wearing an orange vest and carrying a small gun. I asked him what he was hunting for. He said "Rabbit, rabbit."
"huh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh"

Hmm, a stuttering rabbit. I wonder what would result if it f&&*ed a bear? Or an owl? It ought to be less hesitant to attempt to mate, after all there must be a reason for the phrase "banging like bunnies".

Well time for this rabbit to depart. Don't think it hasn't been a little slice of heaven...'cause it hasn't!

Hmm looks like the paladin threads are back again. I never knew people had this much trouble with paladins until I started frequenting this site. Been playing since 13 played a paladin all the time I just don't get it, And no I don't want to discuss it i'm just doing a general complaint.

So... mainly sharing because this was "weird", and violated my fundamental sense of, "No, neither hotels nor restaurants keep 'secret rooms' or 'secret tables' that they set aside for their 'special' guests, because such behavior makes no business sense."
It was Friday, so the usual suspects (Hi, Shiro, NobodysWife, and I) were walking up Solano towards Sushi 29. As always, as we passed by Rivoli we checked out the menu to see what they had this month. (Well, technically they change their menu every 2 weeks, but they're expensive enough they're more of a once-a-month restaurant for us, with alternate people paying so you only get hit for the bill once every 3 months or so.) They had their divine corn soup and out-of-this-world ravioli, so the group told me to go in and ask for a table.
They were stupid full, it was Friday night, so I asked, "Any chance for a walk in?"
The general manager (who, surprisingly, we'd never met) said, "Let me see what I can do."
Then came the rest of the staff out for hugs and greetings and the usual, "We come here waaaaaaay too often," salutations. Our favorite waitress said, "Oh, don't worry. If you don't get a table we're all going to revolt."
15 minutes later, we had a table for 4. In a full restaurant. That was booked solid for the night.
Color me... suspicious.
But the food was awesome, and as thanks we asked what the GM liked, and it turned out he was a scotch guy, so after dinner I returned with my ludicrous $1200 bottle of scotch and gave him a shot. He wistfully declared it the best scotch he'd ever tasted, making the whole evening well worthwhile.
But I am beginning to wonder whether they have a "those 4 reprobates" table snuck into a corner somewhere on Friday nights...

Restaurants always have a table for friendly semi regular customers that pay their bill and tip well.

There's also the judgement call of looking at the reservation list, looking at the clock, and deciding whether someone else can be scratched or bumped later.

Might go with bombard technique instead, I just like the image of a mouse person running around capping people in their kneecap and then slamming them in the face with a tactical baton.

Captain Danger Bear had owlbears in his armpits once.
He liked it.
He also had pit-owls in his arm-bears.
He liked that too.
He is not, however, willing to breed with avians, unless they can be programmed to explode mid-ponk.

Also, a restaurant being full doesn't equate to all the tables being taken up. A server can only handle so many tables before customer service degrades to an unacceptable level, and a restaurant doesn't have enough servers for every single table outside of peak hours. That's a waste of money. During peak hours, if a server calls out, you may not be able to fill every table in the restaurant, even if you normally would. That's why restaurants may give you a 30 minute wait time, even though you're looking right at several empty tables. Yea, table's there, but there's no server who isn't at their capacity. If they really, really like you, maybe a server can overexert themselves and take an extra table.

Playing Victory at Sea (WWII Naval strategy/action game), and I'm starting to feel like America must have felt in the late Pacific War. So powerful, it's not sporting anymore. Especially convoy raids. Used to be I could get in there with cruisers and fire shells off everywhere and at everything. Now I have 2 Yorktown class carriers, and in a convoy raid literally EVERYTHING dies before my cruisers even get in range.

Yea. It's on Steam.
Miss battles like when I fought 21 assorted light cruisers and destroyers and 12 cargo ships with 3 destroyers, 2 cruisers, and an escort carrier during a port assault, and sank every last one of them without losing a single ship (Destroyed all the port defenses, too, but lost all my landing craft to destroyers. I won the day with an immediate follow up assault, though.). Or that time I got ambushed by a full sized carrier and a light carrier when I only had escort carriers, and the enemy outnumbered me 6:9 in cruisers and destroyers. Fought my way out, even if I did lose 2 destroyers and end up with my flagship cruiser crippled.

I don't know exactly what a German cruiser squadron is doing off the coast of New Guinea right now, but they're about to wish they weren't doing it.

I do so love strategy games, or at least games that make you think. My biggest time sink is Civilization II: Test of Time.
What I want is more information about Age of Empires 4.

That was a very good game indeed.
Civ IV was great too, but doesn't seem to work on my PC. Bah.

I should hope not. It hasn't even had a release date announced yet, just its existence.

I've been slapping down any Nazi that shows its face in the Pacific, even though my main beef is the Japanese, because Nazis. Who shows their face but Bismarck herself, and I'm ready for an epic duel, with the Iowa-class USS San Jose steaming straight for her while my other Iowa, USS San Francisco, goes after her escort cruisers.
Then my Essex-classes Oakland, Santa Cruz, and Shasta City all tore her up with dive bombers before San Jose got within firing range.

USS Stockton's a little beast. There were, like, 10 submarines, and I had 4 Gleaves-class destroyers (among other ships, but only destroyers can damage subs). Of them, Pasadena and Monterey immediately went down. Eureka sunk one, but then took a hit that crippled her depth charge launchers. This left me with the Stockton, and she proceeded to down 9 subs single handedly.
