Wuss. Wait till you trustingly let a female friend apply a waxing pad to the region just above your waist-line, telling you it's a form of heat-pack to deal with your strained back, rubbing it in .... then rips it off with great force, leaving you white and gasping for air on the ground as every male in the room winces and every female laughs long and loud.

2 months on, I still have a rectangular bald-patch on my back...

See, if only you could have acted like it didn't hurt, then stood up and looked at all the jaw-dropped women, and said "what?"

You both have my sympathies.

Let her know that she'll receive a Nair head shampooing, if she ever thinks about making good on that threat.

If I recall that very episode was brought into question during the discussion, but was quickly dismissed. I don't think I could concentrate on working if that was the thing responsible for the noises I hear in the air ducts once the sun goes down.

If we were meant to be bloody, naked, and screaming we would have been born that way.

Oh very young

What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
And though your dreams may toss
And turn you now.
They will vanish away -
Like your Daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last.
Forever you know he never will
(You know he never will)
And the patches
Make the goodbye harder still.

DEVELOPER NOTES
- This stat block was really sloppy with numerous math and formatting errors. I am not even sure I caught them all in my brief pass.
- Send not to author asking what the intent was of the dispense soda special attack. As a note, I am not sure the compression ability is doing what the author intends. I mean, it has a compressor and all.. but thats not really the same thing.
- I do not recommend that we use this author again...

It's already got 10-ft. reach, so it makes the soda throwing ability pretty useless to have a range less than that.


Can we just favorite the Jason's comment and ignore Cosmo's part?
