Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Egyptoid]

reminds me of a gaffe by the DM that totally destroyed the mood of the game.

it was supposed to be a gritty sewer crawl,
laden with horror by monsters lurking in deep water and deep darkness.

He tried to describe the formless invertebrates that were oozing up . . .

but the faux pas that came out of his mouth was "boneless hermaphrodites"

Oh, I don't know. I think that would scare the hell out of me.

[Arkham]

Ravenloft game last saturday.

"He politely declines your weasel."

[zornwil]

Oh, I don't know. I think that would scare the hell out of me.

Boneless hermaphrodite zombies!!

[Susano]

FROM SPACE!!!

[hooligan x]

"Boneless Hermaphodite Zombies from Space"

Man, the Misfits aren't even trying anymore, are they?

Caleb better HOPE he is undead...

WOW

(The Next Night.)

Caleb: "Erin, you got a moment?"
Erin: "Yeah, what's up"
Caleb: "I wanted to ask you if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. And if so, if you could tell me how to trick Jesus into thinking that I have..."
Erin: (Doubletake, lifts brow, scratches the back of her neck.) "I don't think you can trick him, Caleb"
Caleb: "It's regarding my stalker...ers... Basically, Reg suggests that a little faith can work miracles. Problem is, I'm so desperate I'll try anything, but not desperate enough to do the whole religion thing."
Erin: "You can't fool him. He knows more about you than you know about yourself. Either you believe or you don't, but religion isn't part of it. It's between you and him alone."
Caleb: "See, I don't buy that. If it was direct between two people - then why the need for the middlemen? Wouldn't we all be priests? Maybe, just maybe, the reason there's so much bureaucracy in place is because it's nessessary. And in any bureaucracy, there's loopholes. I used to work for congressmen. If you follow the idea that incompetence rises to it's own level, Jesus should be even more gullible."

Damn that was a good CRFH.

I wonder if that will lead to any "changes?"

1: "We're watching Hellraiser later."
2: "Man, the Cenobites are awesome."
Me: "Cinnobites? I think they had those on the McDonald's breakfest menu for a while."
3: "The taste of cinnamon...and unspeakable agony. Pleasure and pain, indivisible, served until 10:30 am every day."
Me: "Yep. That's the McDonald's breakfast menu alright."


And maybe the best webcomic line of the year so far, from CRFH:

"...uh, wait. What's with all the smoke?"

"Uh...I'm actually not sure. I think...I think that I was just drycleaned by God. Or something."

"Man, you just have to upstage me every time, don't you?"

[RDU Neil]

"Hah... you've got Cosmic Cooties now!" - Me

"That would be the Cooties Cosmic!" - Eric

[Nuadha]

Damn, Neil. You beat me to it.

Eclipse, a dark magic-based hero, is calling her uncle, who belongs to a council of secretive mystics, on his cell phone...

Me(DM) - "Before you even say 'Hello', your uncle instantly says your name, and asks you what the situation is...."

Amy (Eclipse's player) - "Wow, is that like some kind of mystic, clairvoyant power he has?"

Me - "Yes....That or caller ID"

[White Heat]

Ok, this was an out of character comment:

Marshmallows should not be crunchy.

Ok, there was a recipe in last Wednesday's Washington Post for marshmallow Peeps, and while I was sharing it with anyone who wanted to look, I remembered that Doc gave me a zillion half-price Halloween Peeps because he knows I like them stale, and I'd had them in the pantry ever since then. So I broke out a package, and poked 'em to see whether they were done yet, because sometimes the packaging keeps them mooshi for years -- no lie -- and they did not moosh even a little. When we (yes, two others assisted me in munching on the firm little edibles) broke them apart, it was with an audible snap, and biting their adorable wee heads off you could hear across the room. I liked it. Kly was less impressed and said the above.

Doc: Incredible marshmallow crunchiness!

Other Female Player: Words that somehow should not said together...

But I digress...

My wife only likes crunchy marshmallows.

Crunchy marshmallows sound icky to me...
