Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Samuraiko]

I like Peeps, but crunchy Peeps are pushing the envelope in my opinion...

Hmm... I wonder if any stores around here are still trying to get rid of Easter Candy at half-off...

The Wally World down the way has a bunch of miscellaneous Easter crud which they are donating. I don't know to what, or when, but they claim they are donating it. I think it's a tax write-off ploy, myself.

The Fantasy hero group wanted to examine some clothing to see if it wasa really made in France. In 12th century Englad. Of course. This leads to the following player exchange...

"Lets analyse the htreads and see where hty're from."
"How? What are oyu going to analyse htem with? We don't have a forensics lab here."
"And we don't have a pterodactyl either."
"That's the problem with the middle ages. Too late ofr pterodactyls, too early for forensics."

...which lead to an ongoign series of skits aobut the use of pterodactyls in forensics lab, CSI: Jurassic Park and so on.

Today's D&D game.

GM (me): (Player 1 failed his perception roll to see the statues animate in time to warn.) While watching the elf, you notice just in the nick of time that those statues have come alive and one is attacking you and one is attacking the elf.

Player 1 (dwarf): (Rolls die, hits.) I do 5 points of damage.

GM: When you slice into the fighter, you notice that instead of blood, the man is actually made up completely of wax.

Player 2 (elf): Ooh, we can mold them into candles when we're done.

My friend Terror has played our game for over two years but still is loathe to admit she's a "gamer". She was telling the group how she turned down a date in order to make it to game sunday:

Jim: Did you tell him you were gaming?

Terror: No. I told him I had an NA meeting.

Denial, thou name is Geek!

"Well, at least he only hit us with the street, and not with a skyscraper."


The group was fighting Ripper, and he'd hit his strength max of 100...

[SCUBA Hero]

Background - the group average age is around 35; the daughter of one of the players is in the group as well. She has a reputation for - not noticing things - as quick as the rest of the group.

SCUBA Hero: So, what did I miss last session?

Daughter: I did something smart!!!

SCUBA: (immediately) I disbelieve.

Other Player: Me too! Do we get a bonus to our roll?

Sunday night was probably the best quote ever but it wasn't in a gaming situation.

We were out getting snacks and we stopped by Wendy's so one of the players(The Real Vector) could grab a burger and it went like this.

TRV: Yeah I'll take the number 2 no onions no mayo.

Wendy's employee: No onions.

TRV: Yeah and no mayo.

*On the screen flashes MAYO ONLY*

Wndy's emplyee: That will be 5.42

TRV: May God have mercy on you if there's mayo on my burger...

I'm laughing as I write this.

From our game last night:

"Actually, seeing a naked midget is less disturbing than you would think."

[Koshka]

One-shot game last night, and we were digging through the minis/shrinky-dink figures to see if we could come close to what the characters were. We'd given one of the guys a dwarf figure, then the woman playing the halfling decided she should have a shorter figure than the rest of us. She passed her figure (a bikini-clad superheroine) over to him to replace the dwarf, with the comment "Here, Rodney, you can have breasts for one night."

[Iuz the Evil]

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...

Dude, I LOVE stale Peeps. First thing I do is open the container and put it on top of the frige. Don't eat for a couple days minimum, usually more like a week. My dad taught me the glory of the stale marshmellow figures, I am in turn teaching my daughter.

She'll be a third generation stale peep consumer.

Hmmm... that's a rather disturbing statement right there.

Memo to self: diversify cigarette stocks into whoever makes Peeps.

From a PBeM game, a character giving a description of the room:

"There is a sock on the bed with an odd bulge in it."
