  1. It incrementally shapes human brain chemistry/psychology/sociology through every step of development; we wanted things done faster so we created technology to carry out tasks that much quicker. Consequently, attention spans shorten while newer gizmos and software rise up to satisfy the next tier of impatience, but...there is only so much time in a day and so much brainpower with which to utilize that time. To call this a "vicious cycle" is an understatement.

  2. "I can no longer feed my family." "Same old song." "My wife and her mother, my five children, the baby." "That's seven employees. Eight, if you count the infant."
  3. "We just might be out of money." "That kidney isn't going to fetch fair market value on its own, you know."
  4. His head was reasonably full of hair up until the late 80s to early/mid 90s; after that, the tall grass took a serious whacking.
  5. Because of happenstance, I became a 2e convert; the system has many "old school" positives to offer (and the setting-specific lore of the era is incredibly rich). However, certain products feature artwork which is...well... Let's just say that, when it comes to the undead in my quasi-medieval fantasy campaigns, "Suitable for Hanna-Barbera's finest." is not a description I ever had in mind.
  6. Oddly enough, that reminds me of a George Carlin skit concerning prisons; long story short, there may actually be some logic in staying - at least, temporarily - right outside a fortified city.
  7. "Smart kid. He read my mind." "With your English, he doesn't have much choice."
  8. I am comforted by the fact that fingers will never become obsolete.
  9. Deckard being a Replicant takes away from the movie. Far better, I think, for Deckard to be a human burned out from humanity that learns to be human again from a non-human being.
  10. What is a D&Der's favorite fast-food joint?
  11. I protest to the above; most of the time, it is Save vs. Poison.
  12. In a forest with clouds of fog that cling to the ground, Pagan cultists wearing elk skull masks chant and dance under the full moon while wielding scythes with blades of bone.
  13. Some damned fool accused you of being the best.
