Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
In our D&D game the characters were introducing each other, and the Minotaur Barbarian was looking over the female Half-Elf mage. The Half-Elf player said, "What, have you never seen a woman's breasts before?"
 
Out of character, I said, "Not in only one pair."

One of the characters, a young warrior and desert nomad had never seen fog before.
 
So he asked the older, wiser, world traveling warrior:
 

 
There was a brief pause and then the older warrior replied:

it occurs to me .. that once you've played Hero switching to another game system is a lot like trading a Tardis in a for a '72 Hatchback Pinto.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
From the inaugural Pulp Hero game:
 
"I'm certain there's a perfectly logical, rational, scientific explanation for this. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't scare the (urine) out of me, so I'm running away now."

Nightsky (former WWI Pilot): "I knew a lot of lieutenants in the service who needed a pole-up-the-butt-ectomy. I just need to get you up in the plane, and we'll get it out of you."
Edward "Surname stolen from Keith" Curtis: "If by 'it', you mean my urine, I'm certain that shall be the case."
Nightsky: "So long as we're upside down, that works for me."

From our Tueday night Deadlands game....
 
I play a gunslinger named Stone, with a hankin for cigars
My wife plays a huckster named Liliy
Erine plays a mad scientist named Eon
Roger plays a gunsmith named Colin
 
We just beat the bad guys, took over their ranch....while searching the barn we found 4 large bags of gold nuggets......
Stone "I guess we should tell the local sherrif what happened here and that we found these three bags of gold."
Colin "Don't you mean two bag?"
Eon "Bags? All I see is four nuggets."
 
Earlier that evening...
Stone "This isn't Champions, we can kill the bad guys!"
 
Colin "When in doubt burn something."
Colin "My name is Colin! Not Colon."
 
This isn't really a quote, but it was funny...While searching the gold mine. We brought no light source, but found a oil filled latern at the opening of the mine.
 
I tried to make a spark with two rocks, then realized I had a box of matches, so I took one out.
Eon said, "Why don't you light it with that cigar in your mouth?"

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
 
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
 
Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again
 
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
Viva,
Viva,
Las Vegaaaaaaas

Re: Musings on Random Musings
 

You know it.
 
I am reminded of a story passed on by a friend of mine ... she lived in an apartment, and one day the refrigerator died. So she's helping the landlord (a little old man sort of guy) muscle the old one out. When they get it out of the tight space between counter and wall, there's a big hole knocked in the wallboard behind where the fridge was. And tucked away in the hole was an enormous blue plastic dildo and a quarter-full bottle of Wesson oil.
 
Neither of them wanted to touch the thing. Eventually they used her barbeque tongs to put them in the trash, and after that (and the new fridge was swapped in) she fired up the hibachi and left the tongs in the fire overnight....

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
During a high school class, a teacher was trying to teach good manners.
 
The teacher asks the students: "Michael, if you were on a date, having supper with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"
 
"Just a minute, I have to go piss."
 
" That would be rude and impolite!!! What about you John, how would you say it?"
 
" I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
 
" That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the table. And you Peter, are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners?"
 
" I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment, I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after supper."

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister.
 
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view. She never did it when she was near anyone else.
 
One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
 
Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."
 
I was stunned- frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. She pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to The front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!
 
With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test.....we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."
 
And the moral of this story is:
 
Always keep your condoms in your car.

Fantasy (D&D) game. We free this god of strength who was chained up (how he got there is a mystery we don't have the time or inclination to follow up on) and he grants us choices of various strength-related boons for freeing him.
 
Cleric's player: "Maybe next we can rescue the god of wisdom."
 
GM: "The god of wisdom knows not to get chained up."

I agree with the Trible, When the guy jumped he was hoping, yes hoping that he would not die. Sucide is a person who "wants" to die, now if he was say burning in pain and just wanted to end it, than that is one ticket to hell.
 
But what do I know? I have rocks for brains!
