Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

The characters in question: Graydon, a disguised Drow Ranger (slaver *bleah*), Aerian (an elven scout), and Thunder (a sorcerer/pugilist).

Aerian (to Graydon): "You kind of remind me of my mother."
Graydon: "I hope I don't look like her."
Aerian: "No, she was much prettier."
Thunder: "Your (boobs) are bigger, though."

And later, there was uproarious applause as I launched into the DM's big badguy (well, lieutenant, but supposedly the scariest guy who was there), and successfully took him out in one punch. At which point, he exploded (guess his boss didn't want him taken prisoner) ...
Me: "I'm going to stand there with that 'Daffy Duck Just Got Shot In The Face' look for a minute."

I would say that this post is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very worthy of Rep, but apparently I've given you some somewhere else lately.

Hey, it is the thought that matters. Thanks, Cap.

The PCs have discovered the lost African city of Opar, and in the course of the adventure have managed to befriend a giant King Kong- like ape which has been named Barak by the natives.

After defeating the evil Jane Clayton, who had returned to Opar for her own nefarious purposes, the PCs are swimming and relaxing in the river and waterfall just outside the city. Barak sits on the riverbank, periodically darting out his mighty hand to scoop up a crocodile out of the water. He pops the 6 foot crocs into his mouth like a frat-boy swallowing goldfish.

GM : "And as the sun sets on the fabled lost city of Opar, the conquering heros obliviously chum the water for their new friend, Barak."

These two are from family get-togethers where we've been playing Yahtzee, but still...

Scene: In the kitchen; Present: Mom, Dad, Wife, Brother #2, puppy dog, and Me.

Wife: (laughing) He's peeing on the floor!
Mom: Oh, no! Who?
Me: I hope you don't think it's Dad.

Next, the same people, not the puppy, and my grandmother (who's 83 or 84). After her third turn of the game, she asks "What's Yahtzee?"

This next one was ten family members playing the home version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, with my great aunt (90+) watching.

Brother, reading the question and then the answers: "What was Humphrey Bogart's nickname? Was it A) Humpty; B) Boogie--"

Great Aunt "That's pronounced 'Bogey'."

Brother: (snickering) "Actually, 'Bogey' was 'C'."

Playing games with your elders can be very fun. In fact, this makes me think of other games we played with my great aunt, one had several questions that began "Name 5 toppings that you would put on" and then list some food. My great aunt would always answer "bourbon" for one of them. Including ice cream.

Bourbon is an Ice Cream topping. I know several people who will use it.

Goes best on vanilla.

... Bourbon is one of the few things I'll actually drink.

Which is strangely what my great aunt said. For the ice cream, it was more in the way she described it (along with other items it could top), which went something like "Yes, bourbon. You know when you go to the fair and they have the booth in the back corner, selling ice cream, they'll have small bottles of bourbon you can top it with."

It may be funnier when you know that my great aunt always carried a whiskey flask with her that had, of course, bourbon in it. Apparently, it goes well in tea and soda. But being a teetotaler, I wouldn't know.

I just like that concept, "sorcerer/pugilist."

In today's Pulp HERO game, the characters had to walk through a rather seedy neighborhood in Shanghai and were accosted by some of the hookers on the street. Cain (Aaron) tells Lee Chen (Gary) that "after a seeing a few million pairs of breasts, they kinda lose their appeal."

Chen goes "Really?"
Cain goes, "No."

From a male player running a female NPC:

"[sigh] Do I have to bat my eyelashes at him? Don't make me bat my eyelashes at him. Fine, I bat my eyelashes at him."

Followed by rolling a 5 on a seduction roll!

Hm. I've had creme de minthe on ice cream often, even when I was a kid, but I hadn't heard of bourbon used that way.

I don't think I have any bourbon in the house now (I'm almost strictly an Irish drinker when it comes to distilled spirits, though we all hoisted a tot of rum last Trafalgar Day); otherwise I'd try it.

I know someone who ordered a Guinness float.

I love Guinness, but that is deeply wrong.

[Susano]

I love Guinness, but that is deeply wrong.

The waitress brought him the ice cream and the beer in separate containers and let him do the mixing.

Nah, I bet vanilla goes with Guinness.

I have made ice cream with bourbon. You disolve brown sugar in a cup of Jim beam and use that as the flavoring. Mix in chocolate-covered espresso beans and you have my signature flavor, Malachi Krunch.

I was in a Street Fightery kind of mood ... Monk levels for the martial arts, Sorcerer levels for the special attacks. Orb of Force makes a dandy Hadoken.
