Guy had a heart attack on my flight. Stuck in Minneapolis for three hours, missed my connecting flight. New connecting flight is an additional hour late. I'm going to be getting on an airplane around the time that I had planned on being AT HOME tonight, with a two-hour flight and a two-hour drive still to go. Not cool.
That sucks. :-/

True, but I gotta go with CrimJ on this one.
Jess: Great!
I disagree, Mr. Shiney had better luck than the dude on the flight with him.Guy had a heart attack on my flight. Stuck in Minneapolis for three hours, missed my connecting flight.

Tentacles, never a good sign!Hi all.
Well, I’m in a good mood, it is lunch time on Friday here in Sydney and tonight is game night. Our newly 10th level heroes get to put the smack down on the mysterious, monstrous (and no doubt tentacled) entity that lies trapped under the ancient Thassilonian city we’ve been exploring. Then it’s back to the main story line (presumably) with a new GM at the helm.
My character was quite badly abused by the tentacles, but survived! And put the major smack-down on the beast. Tenth level paladin did 85 points of damage in melee to the BBEG in round 1, and the thing was put down by the gunslinger who did an additional 47 points of damage to it at the start of round 2 ... before he got torn apart by its cohort ...
Moth and BT play together?

Should have called me we could have hung out. :)
Hope everything else goes well
Went in to the new store to do some work today and noticed that somebody apparently attacked the toilet with a hammer. A big chunk was knocked out of the pedestal below the bowl. Then I started looking further. Nothing could have dropped onto it because it's below the bowl. If somebody had hit it, the pieces should have been inside the base instead of all over the floor. And what's that spatter on the wall and the undersides of the bowl and tank? Could it be...?
I think the side of our toilet blew out. Somehow. Can it do that?

There is an urban myth about an exploding toilet (someone pours gasoline or some flammable substance into the toilet, then someone drops a lit cigarette in there) but I think Mythbusters disproved that one. Apart from that ... no, I’ve never heard of that happening.
If someone hit it hard, at the right angle, it’s possible that some of the debris would ‘explode’ outwards.

Sorry about that. Remember those tacos we were going to have at PaizoCon? I saved them because I thought you guys were going to be all, "Haha! We totally did show up!", and then we'd all laugh and eat delicious tacos. But you didn't come, and those tacos had been sitting in the fridge for a few weeks -- I was excited so I got them early -- but I was so hungry after the con, so I ate a couple, and, well....
I am never buying tacos made from cordite again. They tasted terrible, and I needed a place to dispose of them quietly, so I tried to flush them, and, well...
Remember those cap pistols that were loaded with spools of red paper, with little spots filled with I guess gunpowder, that when the hammer struck, it made a BANG! noise and let out a little smoke if you pulled the trigger repeatedly? I don't know if they still make those little cap pistols anymore. Probably not. They're clearly too dangerous. Why, you'll put your eye out! But I had this giant roll of the red explodey paper, and I'm pretty sure it was the fourth time you guys left the store, and I was trying real hard to be good this time and NOT creepy at all, so I just hid in the bathroom until I was sure you were gone, and wasn't going to do anything except maybe see if you had any rockets or slingshots or tree houses, and I had all those cordite tacos, and this roll of red explodey paper, and, well...
It turns out that it's not a good idea to try to make a baking soda volcano in the restroom of a toy store. Trust me on this.

I am thinking. I need to print off parts of the PFRPG SRD from the website and just read through them some time. Just lots of little rules here and there. Then core it down for a home game.You know what was an awesome game? Russ Taylor's "You're Not From Around Here, Either!"
Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it. Due to (very happy) events in my personal life, I couldn't give my con games as much attention as I wanted (though each did get several hours out of me), and I'm glad that didn't ruin them.
I'm hoping to lay the groundwork for a couple events for NEXT year's PaizoCon early so I don't get into a deadline crunch again. Including another installment of You're Not From Around Here.
Also, I think I'll board-schedule my after con game next time, so I can pull it off instead of flaking out :/

Back home now. When we picked up the boy from daycare yesterday he cried. But later on, I got my smiles. And this morning he was in a really great mood. Although when we dropped him off at daycare he looked at me as if to say "Hey! Last time you both dropped me off I didn't see dad for 2 weeks!".
Anyway, back in the office now - I really don't want to be here.
Well, damn.
Back to work. :-(
OFF TO BED!

Reminds me of this 8 inch worm that crawled through the seal of my toilet in Weihai, China. It had a seriously creepy predator face and a kind of wet shred your anus sort of death-millipeded look and was inching toward my heel--I kicked my foot away just before it touched me.
I literally crapped myself... well I finished crapping myself... once I pulled myself about 8 inches up above the bowl.
Then I toasted the ugly f~&%er with lighter fluid, smashed my toilet to pieces with a hammer and carried it out in a sack. Bought a new throne and a bag of concrete, sealed the bastard to the floor for eternity.
And I know you think I'm pulling your legs here. This seriously happened dudes.
SO maybe something came out of the hole, Treppa. Something evil.
Word from the wise: never crap in China again without carefully checking the bowl for ass grabbing predator faced millipedes.
Quiet day.

Did you call your local municipality to see if they were doing any sewer work in your area? Sometimes that can cause build up of pressure (gas and/or liquids) while they're working.
Is it just a clean hole in the bowl wall or are there cracks leading away to the floor? Sometimes the bolts that bolt the toilet to the sewer pipe flange in the floor are overtightened by the last person to work on/install it. That can cause stress cracks that give out when too much water pressure hits it or the toilet shifts under any significant weight.
(I am/was never a plumber, but I used to do some rehab work eons ago.)

Apparently they thought it was magic too. ;)

You hate everything, don't you? Why are you even on the interweb? (Where is your secret bunker?)
Meh. I haven't flown in 5 or 6 years, so I really can't compare it. Wasn't too bad, just annoying. I didn't even get groped.Jess and I are getting ready to board.How was security?
They didn't take naughty pictures of you either?
I tend to get selected for supposedly random things like UAs and extra security screening.
Jess, I hope you feel better.

Actually, believe it or not, i like most things. I am working on a hateratin primer for my blog that I will link here when done. But my top 3 hates are Whedon, Facebook, and Alton Brown.

I had a bad experience many years ago with sulfuric acid, a clogged toilet, and the structural failure of the bowl, but it wasn't a vigorous enough reaction to blow parts of the bowl out.
Any signs of a stray bullet?

Seriously, it sounds like the water in the trap of the toilet froze, expanded, and blew out the side of the trap. Was the heat off during the winter?

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Charlie finally confronted his long-missing father, who had left all those years ago to study a rare technique of basket weaving in the wilds of the Amazon. Meanwhile, Patrick started his new internship, only to realize that he had inadvertantly joined a company whose CEO was Satan, and that was bent on beginning the Apocalypse. And, across town, Janine was worried that she might be pregnant with the unholy spawn of....No, wait! That's my soap opera.

1- he is jarringly unoriginal, and incredibly bad at filing the serial numbers off the anime he watches before coming up with an idea for a "new" series.
2- it is indeed the most insidiously inescapable site ever, and it is slowly taking over our lives! And 3 - he is a chef and food critic who had his own inexplicably popular show for a while, my thankless roomies would eat my lovingly crafted dinner whilst proclaiming that Alton Brown could have done it better, earning my eternal enemnity.
I'm quite curious.
O.O

I got nekkid scanned on our Memorial Day weekend trip on the way down in the Philly airport. Then again, when I left for Norfolk on the 31st, I was once again scanned in the Philly airport.
