Yes please let's get back to rants here gents. And enough of the jean-Paul Sartre and his devious ways. I have my eye on you Jean Paul I know what you are capable of. I know the truth behind your attempts to bring down the plutocrats, aristocrats and royalty in general and I will not have it. You hear me young man? I WILL NOT HAVE IT. Enough of this silly rise of the common man. We were born to rule it is in our blood. We will continue to rule and the classes will stay right where they are thank you very much. With me and my counter parts up at the top. .... These are my words so spoken by the true blue blooded Plutocat.

I'm preparing a rant about 4e clerics which isn't ready yet 'cause I didn't have any beer at the weekend.

Ok, so here is the deal. I've been like SUPER busy the past couple of weeks. But beyond that, I've not been inspired to write a new rant. As much as I didn't like the Rant List, I kind of feel like I need it to keep my creative juices flowing. I have decided to reinstitute the Rant List but with the following changes: no more than 5 topics at a time, when a topic becomes "untopical" it will be removed from the list to allow for more space, and at least one rant from me per page of this thread.
Now all I need are topics. The top 5 make the list.

Mr. Mythic JMD031, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
Interesting story, this was the first question I asked James Jacobs in the Ask James Jacobs all your Questions thread. I believe the answer is variable depending on whether you are talking about a Human tongue or a Froghemoth one.

Light Pollution why do we have so many darn lights ? I mean why can't we just have some nice darkness and allow for the stars to be seen more in the cities? What is the story here? Are people that afraid of the dark can't we cut back? All those street lamps and stuff. While we are at it we have way too many people in the world too. Can't we start shipping them off to other planets already? Lets start space exploration already and start colonizing others spots and the like. More money towards exploring beyond the planet I think is in order and helping preserve our own planet.

Since no one (not even me...) has posted a rant in a while, this rant gets +1 Rant point.

Not that I'm in any position to contradict our Mythic Overlord, but isn't lucky7 at -2 because of a lack of rants? EDIT: No, he isn't. I am very, very wrong and very, very ashamed. Would it help if he changed his name to ranty7 ?
Or could someone else lend him rant points, to be paid back in blood/treasure at some unspecified point in future?

Currently working on a rant. Which isn't like the last time I said I was working on a rant. I actually have something typed out. So, be expecting that. Soonish. Like perhaps sometime today. Definitely in the near future. That is to say that the rant will be posted at some point before the end of this day. That's EST not GMT. Have you gotten the point yet? Perhaps I could make more comments about when it will be posted. Of course this will inevitably delay the rant. Ok, I'm just going to get back to it.

Welcome back rant fans! I know I haven’t done one of these in a long time but I’m planning on (expletive deleted) fixing that right now. This rant is about Bacon. Now I’m sure most of you are thinking “what’s not to love about Bacon?” The only problem is that I don’t like Bacon. Yes, you heard right, I don’t (expletive deleted) like Bacon. Based on this I’ve been called a Communist and Un-American. Well those people can kiss my (expletive deleted) while choking on a (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted). [Hey be nice, these people are just expressing their opinion…much like you are doing here.] What the (expletive deleted) was that? Hmm, well, back to the rant. Anyways, to say that I completely hate Bacon is wrong I just don’t like Bacon on like everything. The way I like to eat Bacon is probably the most unhealthy way to eat bacon and that is yet another reason why I don’t eat a lot of Bacon. Lots of people like to eat crispy Bacon, but I like my Bacon dripping with grease. See? Really (expletive deleted) unhealthy. [That might be why you used to be really fat.] Ok, who the (expletive deleted) said that? [I did…which is to say, you did. Look it’s complicated. You wouldn’t understand.] Oh my (expletive deleted) lord. Its finally happened. I’ve lost my mind. Ok, maybe I’ll just ignore it and it will go away. Where was I? [You were talking about how you like to eat Bacon in the most unhealthy way possible.] Right, thanks. [No problem.] So anyways, Bacon is just “alright” and it really (expletive deleted) me off that everyone makes such a big deal about it. It’s just meat from a pig, it’s not (expletive deleted) the food of the Gods or something like that. [See, this is what most people argue. That Bacon is in fact the Food of the Gods.] Ok, enough, what the (expletive deleted) is going on? [I’m glad you finally asked. See, you’ve been doing the whole “rhetorical” question thing so much that you’ve finally decided to answer yourself. It’s kind of like that YouTube video you were watching where a guy has a “conversation” with himself about movies and what not.] I see. And came up with this all on my own? [Well, that video did inspire you, but for the most part yes.] Uh-huh, but that doesn’t explain how I didn’t know I was going to do that. What now Mr. (expletive deleted) smarty-pants? [That’s simple. You are an idiot.] Hmm, except if you are also me, that would make you an idiot as well. [Precisely. No wait, that’s not right. Ok, if I’m you and you are me and I am you………*poofs out of existence*] There, now where was I? Oh yeah, Bacon. It’s alright, I guess. It’s just not for me. And if you think that because I don’t prefer Bacon I’m a (expletive deleted) Communist or what not, well that’s ok. My only response to you is “go (expletive deleted) yourself!”. Rant over.
Tune in next time when I rant about…(expletive deleted) I skipped one. I apparently will be ranting about “Writer’s Block”. Boy, won’t that be topical. As well as a (expletive deleted) laugh riot. I mean don’t get me started on…

He's Mythic/It's a class feature/Because... MAGIC!!. You don't ask smart-arse questions about Smite Evil or Sneak Attack, do you?
I'm sorry to have to be harsh with you, lucky7, but if you put the effort into ranting that you put into making excuses for not ranting, you'd be drowning in points right now.

I make two different, yet delicious, kinds of chili. Both use beans. One is more traditional, I suppose, ground beef with onions, tomatoes, and beans in tomato juice. The other is chunks of beef with onions, jalapenos, and beans in beef broth. I have had beanless chili before, but to me it doesn't seem right.

Here's my rant about Batfleck:
Nothing. I don't really MIND the idea. haven't seen him do anything, so I don't know.
My rant on Ben Affleck as Batman:
Who [expletive deleted]ing cares?!? He may be good at it, he may suck the [expletive deleted]ing big one, or he may be completely forgettable, but it really doesn't matter one [expletive deleted]ing bit! I stay away from discussions about these sorts of things online as a general rule, but some people in one of my gaming groups were discussing it a while back and both seemed to think he was going to ruin the franchise. Not happening. If the Batman movie franchise could survive nipples on the suit, Ahnold and Jim Carrey as bad guys, and Adam [expletive deleted]ing West, I think it can handle Affleck. And if it doesn't, good! I won't have to avoid yet another movie about a "superhero" I've never had any interest in. So, rock on Batfleck! Do your worst and, as for your detractors, [expletive deleted] 'em!

AMEN. I was born and raised in Texas, and apparently it's only in Texas where "chili" is explicitly different from "chili beans/chili with beans". So I grew up on "chili" meaning "meat and spices in sauce" and "chili beans" being "chili with beans".
Soon as I moved to Arizona, and now living in Tennessee, I've learned that everywhere else apparently "chili" implies that it has beans in it, and you specifically have to request "chili with no beans" everywhere else.
Which IMNSHO is utterly ridonkulous because it's so much easier to add something extra if someone wants it than to remove it once it's in there if they don't. I run into that problem at restaurants all the time with not just beans but also onions and peppers, especially at Mexican places that think you have to stuff every dish to the gills with onions. I love Mexican food but I hate onions (which, in addition to me hating the taste, are the one food that for some reason my acid reflux medicine just can't handle, onions will give me heartburn every time whether I've taken the meds or not).
So yeah, internet fistbump to fellow lover of chili, hater of beans.
EDIT: Eh halfway decent morning minirant, I'm okay with this.
