Re: What Non-Fiction Book have you just finished? Just finished War Plan Orange. A detailed look into the war planning against Japan, 1899-1945. A bit of a slog.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat DISNEYLAND! (seriously, I went to D-Land one year on SuperSunday, and there was nobody else there. You could walk on any ride you choose with no waiting. At least until the game ended.)

Re: Order of the Stick I'm not up to date, but is Zone of Truth a arcane spell? It would be like Xykon to have it up and running while questioning a henchman, and then Redcloak walks into it... OR one of the other guys explanations, which is simpler.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I missed a few sessions, so I'm not up to date. 4th Edition DnD Theren the Archer, Elven Ranger Goguin the Faithful, Dwarven Cleric Toarn the Maniac, Human Barbarian Alek the Evil, Human Blackguard Samm the Compensating, Human Fighter Returning: Sepheris the Scary, Shadow Rogue and introducing Darrek the Redundant, Dwarf Fighter Samm draws fire... Toarn: If they'd rather attack you, I'm OK with that. GM: You are attacked by a blizzard. Sepheris: We're being mugged by a Dairy Queen? Samm: Isn't that a Wisconsin transvestite? After defeating the muggers, the city guard arrives... Therin: Is there a reward? Guards: We could press charges on you. Darrek: That is the opposite of a reward. Entering the caves under the city... Sepheris: So, if we encounter anything, we shoot first, then ask questions. Alek: Shoot first then let the necromancer ask the questions. OGRES! GM: The Ogre Shaman uses rain windstorm. Samm: East Wind Rain? (beat) Nobody gets the reference. Sepheris misses her target... GM: Sepheris missed. Therin: I understand the words, but they make no sense in context. Darrek is prepared! Darrek: My magic amulet will keep me from rotting if I die. Samm: So, you'll still be fresh when we eat your corpse? Undead dragon! Therin: It needs to die! Goguin: It's already dead! Toarn: Then it needs to stop moving around! We take a break: Goguin: Dwarves only need short rests. Attacked by trolls, Therin kills one with each shot... Therin: Now slaying number three... number three...

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "Message from God: "If I cared about the Super Bowl, the Saints would be in it every year!" 'And the world series would be Angels vs Padres every year.' 'Basketball? Who watches basketball?' 'Football is cool, though. I mean, what everyone in the world but the U.S. calls football, amirite?'

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat You must identify a poison sample which you will find at your lab table. All necessary equipment has been provided. There are two beakers at your desk, one of which holds the antidote. If the wrong substance is used, it causes instant death. You may begin as soon as the professor injects you with a sample of the poison. (We feel this will give you an incentive to find the correct answer.)

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat 1. Mock people for thinking that San Diego is cold. 2. Mock people who actually live someplace cold when they could be in San Diego. NT: Things to mock San Diego for. Diffuculty: NO SPORTS! I'll make fun of my own teams, thank you. Go Padres! And take the Chargers with you!

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. The best CPO's are either smart or experienced. This one is both.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Brainstorming a problem... Chief Petty Officer: ...so, how do we solve this problem? Me: Explosives. Commander: You can't solve our problems with explosives. Petty Officer: He could if you would let him have them. Commander: What would you do with them, anyway? Me: You'd be surprised. CPO: Ambushed, more likely.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat Complete the 1979 Lake Castiac Tri-Atholon. No, really. I was 15. I also placed last, all age catagories. NT: Inappropriate rewards/prizes for a 15 year old Tri-Atholon winner.

Re: Adult Entertainment Some thoughts on papparazzo and supers... I don't think there'd be any specialists at getting the 'risque' shots, but rather they'd try to get the 'action' shots, and if one of them included a torn costume, well they'd sell that too. They might very well have thier own intelligence network, and try to set up at suspected crime sites... ("Viper is hitting the Jewelry district, with at least one member of Dragon Branch. Jonesy, set up on the roof of the downtown Hilton. Smith, you get helicopter duty. Mike, look disguise yourself and hang out at the bus stop. And don't forget your armor this time!")

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Me: I'm taking a driving test today. Coworker: Where are you taking it. Me: The golf course. CW: Funny, I took mine at the DMV. Me: Wouldn't that break the windows? CW: What?

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. I think I'd like a job where watching porn at work was encouraged, nay, required.

Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster I work as a librarian, sort of. I'm the school librarian for a USN helicopter crew school. If/when the "customers" get obnoxious, I can inform thier instructors. OR I can merely report them to the union rep. OR I can report them to the security officer for a security violation*. Being able to inform Captains that they cannot say that to me warms my former enlisted man's heart. I don't think I could work in a normal public library. Or any job that has normal interaction with people. *Improperly returning classified material is a security violation. Failing to return or returning it late doesn't mean a fine, it means a visit with NCIS for a Gibbs slapping. And if I've been good that week, I get to watch.
