Blackie Lawless, it has been said, that upon being able to speak again once the pain of that incident subsided, told his bandmates, "If we wrote better songs we wouldn't have to do this s**t." They began to write better songs.
That doesn't have to do with the (probably apocryphal) story of a pissed-off stage tech turning the codpiece-mounted flamethrowers belonging to a Big Rock 'n'Roll Star so they faced inwards rather than outwards, does it? (Probably not, as I think that was Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P., and it was a good while ago...)
Never heard about that, so I dare say to "nope".
Blackie Lawless, it has been said, that upon being able to speak again once the pain of that incident subsided, told his bandmates, "If we wrote better songs we wouldn't have to do this s**t." They began to write better songs.
Here's an excerpt from House of Hair where Blackie tells the tale. He may have tamed the language down a bit because I did hear him tell it exactly like I posted it on a metal radio show from the 80s ("Metal Shop"? Was that it?).
"HOH: I’m sure you get this asked this frequently, but how many scars do you have from those sawblades in the old days? I’m happy your identity today is more about being a respected metal songwriter, but how intense was it trying to make a mark with WASP in the eighties? Did you reach a point where you might’ve been thinking along the way, ‘Man, I can’t wait until we make it so I don’t have to bleed to death onstage?’
BL: You know, the old joke was when I had the exploding codpiece. It blew up on me on opening night in Dublin, Ireland in ’86. We had tested that thing for months and it came off without a hitch. What happened was the explosives were flown over for the show and they became compressed because of the altitude. All this we figured out later once we pieced it back together like an air disaster, trying to figure out what went wrong! When it went off that night, it literally picked me up about 4 to 6 inches. I was airborne and it burned all the hair off my legs! The hair never grew back to this day! I remember being in the dressing room—and you’ve got to remember, this was opening night—and everybody’s thinking the tour’s all over. I was in pretty bad shape; I was burned pretty bad. I had to do something to break the tension, and that’s when I made the famous statement, ‘If we wrote better songs, I wouldn’t have to do stuff like this!’ (laughs) And everybody realized by me cracking a joke like that, I was okay and everything was going to be alright. It was one of those kinds of things where the whole room erupted with laughter, but it was nervous laughter! Plus I’ve got a couple of gouges on me from the subways!"

Just make sure you do it with maximum efficacy. Wouldn't want any of his remains to regenerate into multiple Zuckerbergs.

I could click the link and see the post just fine, and I don't even have an Instagram account.

Do you have facebook account? Maybe you are logged in with facebook account?
Or it might be a matter of my browser blocking cookies or location.

Fantasy Monster: Knowing Head. A brass head that knows things.
I really like this one.

I can totally see using these in a campaign. Maybe in a "library" except instead of books, the enormous vaulted rooms are filled with scuttling heads.

In real life, you need knowledge to get ahead. In Pathfinder, you need a head to get knowledge!
Goodnight everybody!

Also, I would totally channel my David Byrne impersonation for all interactions with the Heads...

An excerpt of my new book just dropped on Instagram, along with a sketch of the plucky, if a bit shady, main character.
And by a "bit shady" I mean completely disreputable.

Can someone, ANYONE help me out with this problem? Without going deeply into it my introduction to the world of Ancient Egypt was via my first D&D experiences. The culture and religion have had an impact on the worlds I've created ever since.
I'm working on my game for tomorrow night and for the life of me I can't find the ancient Egyptian word for "first". The place the players need to find is called "The House of First Blood". House can be either "per" or "hewet" and blood is "senef" in most of the online sources I've tracked down. But I cannot find a word for "first". I've spent the better part of two hours online digging around for it. Is there some extremely obvious place that I'm overlooking or is there even a word for it? I follow a couple of Egyptologists on FB but they're often very busy and I don't want to bug them for a game.
Help!

Between 12:00 and 2:00 AM - My cat vomits on the couch. Not a dainty hork’s worth. I do not know this at the time, only reconstructing the event from future observations.
2:20 AM - Cat screams at the bedroom door to be let outside. I stumble to the front door and let him out.
2:23 AM - Unable to get back to sleep, I migrate from the bedroom to the couch.
5:45 AM - Dog stampedes onto the couch, stomping my head and rallying me to seize the day. I decline.
6:15 AM - Half an hour of vigorous canine exortions to ‘gather us rosebuds while we may’ finally bear fruit. I rise. I turn on the lights. I discover I have spent several hours with my head on a not-insignificant pile of cat vomit.
6:16 AM - I give up.

Wooo! 2021!! Off to a great start!
Certainly my friend!
The whole dictionary can be downloaded (I think) but can at least be searched.
Here is "first", with apparently 8 hits.
You can also check out this curator of Egyptian language lore.
PSA - I use DuckDuckGo
Go wild! But not too wild, you have a game to run in <24 hours.
:D
Excellent! Thank you very much!

I’m a Referotron. What you’re thinking of is a Quote Generator. That is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle, bleh--Ah, but not at you, O Holiest of Gods, with the wrathfulness and the vengeance and the blood rain and the "Hey, hey, hey, it hurts me.”

Are you sure it was a gremlin? CM7 might be a Gallifreyan Time Lord or another dang Kang or a Bill and/or Ted or something.
