Maybe he thought the LSD he took were stat buffs.
More like a potion of delusion.
Interesting take on 'pipeweed'.

- "A man dressed in chain-mail with a helmet, shield and carrying a sword and staff ran into traffic and started attacking her car."
He was carrying a Shield, Sword, and a Staff? Must have been pretty awkward...
- "She called 911, reporting that "a pirate" was attacking her car."
A pirate? Really? Guy's wearing chainmaile and a helmet and he looks like a pirate? >.>
I tell you, folks these days have no appreciation for such things... [/sarcasm]

Back when I worked in Schools IT Support, I showed up to work on Talk Like A Pirate Day dressed as a pirate... one of the schools had an assembly that day, and had me setting up the presentation equipment while the deputy principal did the introduction. When I was done, she thanked me in front of the whole school, referring to me as the school's personal IT vampire... so I can't say I'm surprised :P

Won't everyone be surprised when that car causes the downfall of civilization? Poor guy was willing to fight for us... now there is no more hope... *pinches the last candle to extinguish the last point of light*

Hmmm... are you saying evil demons shaped as cars are being sold on the west coast? They should put THAT in the tourism guides.

Would it get more or less people there?
Man dressed as an elf attacks a BMW he thought was a balrog.
Meh.
"Man dressed as [superhero] attacks a BMW he thought was [Dr. Doom];" "man dressed as [Ronald Reagan] attacks BMW he thought was [Mikhail Gorbachev];" etc. Same difference.
Nutjobs are always going to fixate on something. Blaming the object of their fixation for their insanity is counterproductive.

Attacked by a high elf, huh?
How appropriate.

Its probably more like car shaped demons being summoned in Bavarian car factories...

I would say it was a toss up but lets face the truth; people would flock westward to see that.

The driving habits of their owner sure are fiendish.

Not it. Not because I would never attack a car with a sword, but because I can't pull off the elf look. Worlds largest dwarf yes but not an elf.

I have two 20+ year old BMWs, and the only thing odd about the story was that the owner wasn't the one swinging the sword! These cars have their perks, but they can be annoying sometimes.

Hah, yes! I'm waiting for the upgrade where they program the cars to provide their notifications in haiku form.
I had to replace my copy of Good Omens on the weekend, it's been read so many times over the years that it's basically fallen apart... which is sad, because you can't get that cover art for it anymore and I loved it, but I did score a copy of the recently released hardcover edition which looks really nice.

I can understand thinking BMWs are evil. In syracuse every. single. one of these things was driven by some yuppie that thought mommy and daddy's trust funds meant they could ignore little things like "STOP" signs, pedestrians in crosswalks, and "on way street" signs.

Hah. Just realised that I've somehow merged Dead Beat and Good Omens in my head there. Was skimming through Good Omens on the weekend, remembered the haikus about the door being open and seatbelts not being fastened and for some reason thought that quote was from there... an hour and a bit later I have this lightning bolt moment and go "OH CARP! WRONG POP CULTURE REFERENCE!"
Well, that's embarrassing. Who do I hand my geek card into?

When my girlfriend was in college she knew a yuppie girl that literary cried buckets when her parents bought her a brand new mercades.
She wanted a BMW. Poor her.

The police misunderstood. He had not taken lysergic acid diethylamide - he was simply telling them about his high elf lunch: Lembas So Delicious.
Well, "BMW" does mean "break my windows..."

Hey! What is wrong with beer and football?!
(Ok I can't stand cheap beer... but I don't hold that against the people who do like it)And cheering your football team to victory is every bit as exciting as a well played role playing session. Compare how you feel when you roll a 1 on an important attack to how you feel when your quarterback fumbles the ball. Identical. And that perfect pass that gets you a touchdown is just like a well timed critical hit.

It was a joke more than anything. That said...
I wouldn't know. Blood Bowl is the closest I get to football. I associate actual football of all kinds except gridiron and soccer with fairly awful memories of being a child and teenager, and it's linked to the point that watching it will dredge those memories right back up. So I don't go watch it on tv, I don't talk about it, I don't follow a team, and the idea of going to a game is horrifying to me.
As for cheap beer. I don't begrudge those who like it, I just don't want it for myself. Normally not even nice beer to be honest, though I'll drink it if it's offered. I prefer single malt Scotch, red wine, cocktails or dessert wines.

Geez BNW don't you know that rules don't apply to people like me? Those kinds of rules were made for common people of course not the aristocracy. You really should learn these kind things will make your life a lot easier going forward and save you some frustration.

Psst. Hey, psst. Tinkergoth. Y'need a... geek card? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got one. I got aaaaaaaaall the geek cards you need.
"Why would I have- ?"
Ah. I see. Yeah, yeah, no, I get it, yeah, 's a fair question. Fair question. Now, see, there's this guy - a guy I know, right? -, named Ninja-Assassin; and he knows this other guy, whats's'name, uh, "Taktiksleon". Yeah, this "Taktiksleon" guy, well, I hear he's got a... well, he's got a problem, see? Keeps "losin'" his cards 'round the geek police. It's unfortunate, but, you know, recurring problem. And a guy needs to keep his cred up, right? Right so-
- Hey! I got nuthin' ta do with it! -
Anyway, so since there's a need, enterprisin' folk, such as myself, well... we're just here to provide for a need, right? That's all. A need. Yeah, it's a service, really. S'why the first one is free.
So, I got this covered for you if you-
Hmmm. Okay, that's bad. We can't have that.

Hm. Well, I see you are no longer in need of my particular services in this regard. Very well, but keep me in mind... for the next time. For there is always a next time.

Personally, I played Flag Football when I was in grade school, and soccer in High School. That's about it.
I did create an in-game-world game for an orc clan called "Bjorker", though (secretly, it was a ten-member team modified football game).

Over the weekend, my father gave me my great grandfather's sword from his time in the Coast Guard. Maybe I'll keep it in my BMW just in case...mine's a gun metal grey color so it could easily be mistaken for some sort of rock troll. And one of my players does frequently run around in armor at local events...
