I did something right? I believe that's noteworthy. What was it?

I believe that mixing vodka and energy drinks is the pastime of philistines, and degrades the nobility of the cocktail.

Just something in the 'Ask James Jacobs' thread that made me feel better. It has been a hard week all around.

I believe it's a detriment when other people know you're lawful. Then they feel they can use you as a sounding board for all their problems and then turn around and ask me not to say anything. And like any lawful individual I'll do it, I'll keep their secrets and give them advice and then have a bad week because it gnaws on you when you can't say anything, yanno? I mean, I've got the wisdom score to give advice like this but sometimes I really need to talk to someone to know for sure that the advice I give is good. And I can't.

I believe that is what far-away internet contacts are for.

Lawful Good is harder but much more worth it.

I believe that today was a good day. Simple, but good.


I believe I am awake at 4 am on a Saturday. I believe this is not an optimal thing

Not at all optimal. :(

I believe you are correct TruthWine. Unfortunately, I was asleep for about 4 1/2 hours before that. Had I been awake all night partying/on CQ/graveyard shift that would be a manticore of a different template.


I believe working third shift screws up your weekend.

I usually wake up at 4:00 on Sats, too, but I drank a lot last night. Still I had to force myself to stay in bed until around ten. Otherwise, I'll fall asleep during my name tonight...

I believe you are also right, my dear Communerd. Having worked a few eaaarly shifts this week m'self I WAS looking foreward to sleeping in. I guess I will have to do it tomorrow...


I believe red wine is the best way to get through awkward family get-togethers. I believe lots of red wine is the absolute best way to dealing with posturing between Mom and her mother-in-law.

I believe I have ahd a great deal of red wine. I believe cabernet is gooood.

I believe I may have missed the whole point of "beliefs before drinking". After drinking counts, right?

I believe it's interesting to see the differences in reactions when various well known people express their opinions about certain situations.

Like when someone expresses an opinion on something they are no expert in? Or just when a famous, or infamous, person sticks their foot in their mouth?

I guess it all depends on the celebrity, opinion and your view on the subject. I believe I will never spend a cent on any project Janinny Garofailo is involved in due to her bigoted rhetoric. Considering her recent career, it is an easy belief to have =P

Both actually. It's interesting to see how aspects of society treat celebrity, depending on who they are, what they say, and who's doing the reacting.

I agree wrt that particular celebrity, but then I never cared much for her to begin with. But there are other celebrities (DiCaprio and Hanks for example) that despite me not agreeing with things they say, I still enjoy seeing movies with them.

I believe today will be productive.


I've been saving this Newcastle Werewolf beer for when my PC (singular) fails a fort save against lycanthropy. I believe tonight will be the night I get to drink it.

Oh sure. If I practiced political purity litmus tests on my artistic likes, I believe I would be a very bored monkey. In fact, I believe that more than 90% of Pathfinder developers and 3pp folks are diametrically opposed to me politically. This doesn't mean I can't enjoy their products. Same with music. I believe listening solely to the Motor City Madman on my iBorg would be quite boring after a while. Movies as well. Sean Penn is a good actor, but I believe I'd love to tell him personally I think he is a hopeless liberal douchebag. Doesn't mean I can't watch Fast Times At Ridgemont High every so often. The artist is not the art.

Frank Miller draws a mean graphic novel. I believe he has now royally f!@*ed himself by stating his opinion on the OWS movement, because I believe that Hell hath no fury like a liberal ideal scorned. I believe he wont have much commercial success from now on, and that is too bad.

Lifts a tumbler of scotch

Slainte, Mr. Miller. Best of luck with the oncoming liberal s*!@storm you have unleashed upon yourself.

Ditto.

Not to knock you off your high horse, but 99% of the populace seems to already agree -- or else Mel "I hate all the dirty jews" Gibson wouldn't have grossed over $100M with Apocalypto.

I should also point out that Miller's rant reads, approximately, "Al Qaida is the real enemy and therefore there is no Wall Street corruption," which isn't so much anti-liberal as it is anti-logic.


I believe...

As GM and as I have an appreciation for those little dramatic touches that I should be incorporating more drinking into my games.

Hear me out.

for length and Carrion Crown spoilers:
My last game featured as the high point a civilized dinner party. My CG PC had tortured a minion for information (he was going through her stuff, he'd tried to kill innocent people, and I firmly believe that Good is not Nice). Well, the dinner party was thrown by the villain after his minion ratted all about the torture to him. This is a solo campaign.

The dinner party involved white wine all around save for the villain Estovion. I gave him a glass of red. And the entire dinner party was spent bandying veiled threats and comments back and forth between villain and PC. I really wish I had thought ahead and poured myself a glass of cab as a prop. And because cab is good.

I have planned ahead for tonight. When my PC gets bitten by werewolves I will be pouring myself that blood-red Werewolf brand beer. And I have already told her what it means when I do.

I'm thinking I should plan more props like that. Red wine for vampires (I never drink... wine...), thick stouts for welcoming inns, thin cheap beer for wary townships, maybe a disturbing-looking cocktail for Adivion Adrissant as my PC watches in horror as he drinks the elixir...

Am I thinking too much? I don't use minis (no room) and I prefer it when my PC can suspend disbelief with minimal effort. And when I can suspend my own disbelief I'm able to spin description like a master.

I believe I was in error in introducing a line of thought that acts as a troll lure.

I believe....BACON!!!!

There's always the fight over whether or not Canadian Bacon is bacon or not.

After all, Canadian Bacon comes from the back and standard bacon the belly. If they're both bacon then why not just call the whole hog bacon? Except the hams, they're ham.

Depressing. A decade or so back I thought she was interesting (Truth about cats and dogs, the Mystery guys). May be why I avoid marriage.

I believe some people have no self control. I also believe that they are not very likely to notice this.

Spoiler:
I also believe that Urizen will laugh and find this ironic

I believe today is going to be a LONG day.

I believe I will need much caffeine.


I believe it's Dancing Time.

I believe that's awesome!

I also believe that if you like that, you'll love this!


I believe I am done with work. I believe I must go detail my car. I believe I really am ambivalent about doing this, but I have to sssell it soon, so it's gotta look decent.


I believe putting off game to replace dead hard drives sucks.

I can't believe I never learned Raise Dead. Especially when all True Seeing got me is the location of bad sectors. Real useful...

I believe Employee Appreciation Day was both a hit and a miss: Good food, but no seats set up to eat at, only tables you'd stand around. Also, a kind of corny live band, but they were sailors, so props to them.

I believe I have had a long day and will reward myself with dinner with two of my most favorite women in my life my wife and my grandmother having dinner at a very nice french bistro where I will enjoy a cocktail then a pleasant dinner and conversation as well as a glass of red more than likely a Rhone wine ... perhaps even a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. For dinner I may even have some red meat like a hanger steak with pomme frites.


I believe that sounds lovely Gruumash. Who knew the god of orcs was so refined?

I believe, in my monkeyish way, that I am ready to drink (in my own alternate fashion) Unfortunately I don't have a plethora of choices, but like my beer, my alternate intoxicant just has to do one thing: Relax me.

Scarab Sages

I believe that today ended up sucking ass anyway.


I believe after two days of work that this computer is aliiiive!!

Now hopefully I can game tonight!

I believe I need a drink.

I believe I've already got one.

I believe the water outages and dwindling selection at the dining facility is both good and bad. I believe that the luxuries are going away, but it only proves that we are going away.

I believe that some parents should really keep better control of the things their children post on messageboards.


I believe I am going for a chilly bike ride by the grey grey Atlantic Ocean


I believe I went for a chilly chilly ride and saw the grey grey Atlantic. Man the bike path is empty once the temps drop below 50 degrees.

I believe I have earned myself a treat. To the garage!


I believe I should get back to work.

I believe trying to use flavored water to clean a year's worth of grunge off of the stove is an insult to my chemistry degree. And yet it's what I'm supposed to use.

I believe that werewolf beer was a let-down. No bite at all.

I believe that you use the word "troll" differently from everyone else. I believe normally it implies an intent "of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." Therefore, most off-topic discussions, and particularly the ones in which people are actually discussing issues, don't fall under the definition.
