*guy is playing Pokémon ZA*
"Wow, look at those hoops. Guess Pokémon still doesn't have the polygons to render actual circles."
I haven't been able to get the DLC yet ;_;
On the other hand, it does mean I'm not distracted from finally playing Expedition 33.
ACK! Caught mid-outfit change!

I never thought my driveway was that big, but it sure seemed huge as I cleared 9" of snow off it in sub-zero (Fahrenheit) temps. Surprisingly, it only took 45 minutes (it was light and powdery, not wet and heavy).
I'm sure captain yesterday could have cleared it with a fart without even opening his truck's door.
That sounds like the kind of thing people used to say about Chuck Norris.
FaWtLites don't need Chuck Norris.
We've got the captain.
His action figure comes with three boulders, a pie, a giant doobie, a skid loader, and a shaved bear.

I regret/am happy to report that the kitty exercise wheel may be the third-best cat item we've ever bought (behind our two well-loved cat trees).
Mephisto finally realized that he can release all his frustration on it. Can't get Nefret's food? Run on the wheel. Brought inside too early? Run on the wheel. NobodysHome is up but it's dark outside so you can't go out? Run on the wheel.
We even got Morrigan and Mephisto running on the wheel in tandem for a few seconds, though yes, cats, so they quickly got out of sync and Morrigan went flying off the wheel. Much to her delight.
If Impus Major works really hard, Lenore will walk a few feet on the wheel, just to please him. But she does not see the point in moving other than to get food, warmth, or love.

I'm assuming chess. Isn't that one of his specialties?

Yesterday we finally got the tree up and the house decorated. Yay.
Today, @#$%ing Nutcracker finally wraps.
(Curses in Ballet Mom)
Four and a half more days of school.
Our faculty holiday luncheon this year is being catered--for free--by the restaurant owned by the father of one of my most difficult students (the one who like to throw food and tantrums and is always calling me a penis).
Sigh.
It's nice when they understand their kid is difficult and want to make up for it.
It would be nicer if they would actually, you know, set some boundaries and parent them.

I am so sorry you have a difficult student.
Your only difficult student should be Young Freehold, who will attend your classes via time machine, with flattop, faint whisp of mustache(I have had once since I was a little boy), and huge, large, eager intellect.
What? I thought I knew everything as a kid. What did you think I was going to say?

I will now refer to Mephisto as Furry Freehold.
GO FURRY FREEHOLD! TAKE THE FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON THE WHEEL!

He is in Wisconsin, so the "pie" could be beer cheese soup in a breadbowl "crust". Possibly with tater tots on top.I'm assuming chess.

Pumpkin or chess.
Also, you forgot the Stihl 420 (#4) chop saw with my name on it.

Also, not to brag, but I am considerably more liberal than Chuck Norris.

Maybe I'm just getting reflective since I'm 40 now or maybe it's because it's getting to be the end of what's been a very big year for me, but I feel like it's a good time to say how much I've appreciated FAWTL being a part of my life.
I joined the community in 2008 to get advice on running and modifying Savage Tide, and somehow managed to meander my way over here and get wrapped up in this community. It's been just shy of 20 years that FAWTL has, on and off, been a place to call home.
There's only one other community I've managed to stay in anywhere near that long, that being the Neverwinter Nights server I play on and DM for, which I joined in 2006. All the other communities I was part of in the late aughts either have broken up, I left of my own accord or was kicked out, or simply ceased to exist as the nature of the internet has waxed and waned.
Faces have come and gone here, some I miss and some I don't, I won't name names on the latter but the former include people like Kajehase, Jess, Treppa, Sharoth, Lynora, Taig/Mike/Badger, and others you can see nearly omnipresent in the first few pages of this very thread. Some like Kirth Girsen and our beloved Postmonster have passed on. Others simply have gone their separate ways across the vast internet, or just stay offline for their entertainment instead. Some we know about, some we don't. (Mostly because some of us are interconnected on Facebook, Discord, etc. and others aren't.)
(Funny enough, looking through the thread, I was absent for a hefty chunk of the beginning, to the point people were asking about where I'd gotten to and trying to track me down on Facebook, etc. I was basically absent throughout 2011 when the thread was started and showed back up in 2012. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But then again I did take a year-and-change break from the NWN server I was on at the time a bit before that time, which I mostly spent playing WoW and being unemployed. So maybe it's just a trend with me.)
It's been a wild and crazy couple of decades, and I certainly would not be the same person without FAWTL's influence, at least some of the way. I think FAWTL was the first place I interacted with openly-LGBT people on the regular, as a lot of the LGBT people in our NWN community weren't comfortable being openly so until closer to the 2012-2015 age as it was very much still a "straight white boys' gamer club" for a lot of the aughts (thankfully a sentiment that has noticeably faded some in the years since). These interactions were foundational in breaking down the bigotries and tribalism I'd been raised in, and a huge stepping stone to understanding and discovering myself in the process.
I don't think almost anyone would look back at my posts in 2008 through 2012-ish, especially in the politics threads that were allowed back then, and think that person would end up becoming the person I am today. It's kinda baffling and a bit embarrassing in hindsight.
At this point I think I'm just rambling so I'll just wrap this up. Thanks for being here, FAWTL, and here's to this place being the community it is for as long as Paizo will let it stand. Maybe we'll hit another twenty years together someday.
Did... Did he they just call us old?!!
Edit: My bad!

"He" is the one pronoun I prefer not used for me ;D
I swear, as if I couldn't think any less of Facebook.
Today's scam:
(1) GothBard got a series of email notifications that someone was trying to change her Facebook password.
(2) Being a reasonable person, she went directly to Facebook and signed in. She didn't click a single link because she knows better.
(3) On signing in, she got a pop-up from Facebook Security that suspicious activity had been detected on her account. Since she uses AdBlock, there was no reason in the world for her to suspect the notification was fraudulent. She had been getting suspicious activity, and the notification was a perfect copy of a real Facebook notification.
(4) So of course, clicking "Dismiss" on the notification brought up a screen-locking, obviously fake and stupid page stating that Windows Defender had disabled her machine due to "fraudulent Facebook activity" and she should call an 800 number to unlock her machine.
And it's just so classic Facebook: "Oh, someone's feeding AdBlock-dodging pop-ups that exactly mimic our notifications and try to scam users? Not our problem! Let the buyer beware!"
One NoScript login later and GothBard's Facebook account has been deleted.
I swear, Facebook...
