Error Error Dr. Anomaly -- quoteing of musings if forbiden due to Old Man's initial post. Those go in the musing about musing thread. Now go to your corner and think about it

this thread has a lot of legs. who knew people wanted to muse so much?

Steve asked what we want to see. I only have one requirement: ONE SETTING BOOK TO RULE THEM ALL!!! I'm a simple person, with a simple wish. Steve, hope you got a chuckle.

what is with repeating the christmas specific ads well after christmas? I don't get it, nor approve of it. Thank goodness I dislike the fast food chain anyway.

Happy sleeping.

FYI: The musings about musings have exceeded the musings in terms of default pages. We've been musing about musings more than we have been musing.

Well this is my story. My hard drive was starting to make a funny noise on Wednesday night. I took it in to have a look at last Friday (Thursday was busy). It turns out that I could get the computer back for the weekend and the hard drive collapsed in "pre xmas hype". Well today, a Monday, I'm finally posting back again after a unwelcome delay. Now to catch up with 4/5 days posts. :sigh:

I find LotR fever ironic. All those people making sure they see each movie the day/weekend it is released. They are attracted to Sauron's ring just like Bilbo, Gollum and Frodo. That's the ironic thing -- the ring is bad news -- I thought they knew that? Also the Ring will never leave those who made the films. Whatever they do, the Ring they will remember, cling to their time in its presence -- sort of like Bilbo. I plan on seeing RotK on Jan 2, 111th Birthday of JRRT (It is released in Aus on 26th Dec).

There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

e-friendships, a new word for a new year.

Why did Starlord choose that avatar?

Enlightenment casts no shadow

To post or not to post -- that is the question.

Lemming is also doing a conversion. more details in the pet project thread in General Roleplaying. YOu might want to PM him.

Old man thanks for the advice about cat in the hat. and for my muse: why does Hollywood have to a$$-rape every property that it comes in contact with?

Starlord previous post what is a "holy smiley"? -- a smiley with holes?

Silence is the teacher, love her student.

Why is gravity kind to Starlords avatar?

Is this on-topic or off-topic?

Why does one have to study before you take an university examination?

Lord Liaden gave a brief description of it here: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=159650&highlight=Wings+AND+Valkyrie#post159650

simply breath taking One of the best fantasy RPG covers I've seen. I agree that the image is majestic and the sunset is just sureal. I thought that the humaniods were just an unusual (alien) race, not the storm / cloud giants; and to me at first the griffins were babies. I'm also impressed with the giants holding hands. A subtle thing and showing that kind of love on the cover is quite different. I also like that the action is implied rather than directly shown. And I give the dragons two combat turns before they turn tail and run, or fall from the sky

I'm another who doesn't want to mention 9/11, nor do I want to mention the Holocaust or the Albigensian Crusade. To me individual people have different interpretations of "good," "evil" and "benefit of mankind." It is one of those facts of life things (something else to detect? ). I'd agree with a previous poster(s) who have said it revolves around genre conventions eg. in an Elric & Stormbringer game "evil" or "chaos" is definable and hense detectable. One abstract that no one else has brought up yet -- Detect Love. What is "love" and how could you detect it? What about "reality"? Is it worth having a Detect Reality? (If so how many points? )

Alan: I realise our posts were different. I found the part of your post I quoted interesting and enlightening and then explained why (well tried too). I hope that clears things up. edit: ps: will you be watching the Rugby Union World Cup grand final?
