Network Guy (NG): "So, tell me again, you mean not Ginger who you can at least look at, not the Skipper, but..."
 
Pitch Guy (PG): "Yeah, the Howells! it'll be great! The Howells back in civilian life, that rascally Thurston and his lovey!"
 
NG: "Uh...yeah...the Howells...and the hook is?"
 
PG: "They fight crimes! They're detectives! You know, like the Thin Man and Mrs. Thin Man, except zanier!"
 
NG: "Yeah, zanier...no, I don't think so."
 
PG: "No?"
 
NG: "No, nyet, no way, beat it, get lost."
 
PG: "Wait! Wait! I have the best idea!"
 
NG: "Okayyyyy..."
 
PG: "They'll put on costumes and fight crime at night!"
 
NG: "Get outta my office!"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
From last night's Fantasy Hero Turakian Age campaign:
 
Raz (Human Rogue) and Grangnar (Drakine Wizard) take a load of silver ore found on their last adventure to a local smithy to sell it. As the smith's apprentices are carrying the loads of ore into the store, Grangnar, a little leery of... well.. everyone, after all the cultists that they've run into lately, asks the Smith -
 
Grangnar: "So... you haven't raised a horde of ravaging undead in the basement or anything, have you?"
 
Smith: "... Define 'Horde'."
 
Grangnar: "Umm... Over 5?"
 
Smith: ".. Do you mean 5 and over, or just more than 5?"
 
Grangnar: "Umm... more than 5."
 
Smith: "Oh. In that case, no. No I haven't."
 
Grangnar: "Oh. Good."
----------------
After a brief exchange overnight with Avelyne Lindsey, another prisoner being kept in the tower, where the PCs found themselves imprisoned, Raz speaks to Grangnar:
 
Raz: "I don't know if you noticed this or not, but that woman up there in the cell next to yours is a total psycho."
 
Grangnar: "Well.. she IS a woman."
----------------
And later, as Grangnar attempts conversation with the unusually reclusive Avelyne:
 
Grangnar: "So... what are you in for?"
 
Avelyne: "... I killed my husband."
 
Grangnar: "Oh. You.. didn't raise ravaging hordes of undead or anything afterwards, did you?"
 
Avelyne: "... Define 'Hordes'."

Announcing the new "Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge" device, otherwise known as BOOK!
 
It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere--even sitting in an armchair by the fire--yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM! Here's how it works: each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. By using both sides of each sheet, manufacturers are able to cut costs in half. Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The book may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward and backward as you wish. Most come with an "index" feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval. An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session--even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers. Portable, durable and affordable, the BOOK is expected to enjoy tremendous demand of truly historic proportions. New titles continue to appear, due to the continued popularity of its programming tool, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
Austrailian Humor.
 
Some more chuckles for you...............
 
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet,"
which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics
correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots
review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that
ground crews lack a sense of humor.
 
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots
(marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by
maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has
never had an accident.
 
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
 
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
 
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
 
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
 
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute
descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
 
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
 
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
 
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.
 
P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
 
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
 
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
 
P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
 
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
 
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
 
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget
pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
1: "We're watching Hellraiser later."
2: "Man, the Cenobites are awesome."
Me: "Cinnobites? I think they had those on the McDonald's breakfest menu for a while."
3: "The taste of cinnamon...and unspeakable agony. Pleasure and pain, indivisible, served until 10:30 am every day."
Me: "Yep. That's the McDonald's breakfast menu alright."
 
 
And maybe the best webcomic line of the year so far, from CRFH:
 
"...uh, wait. What's with all the smoke?"
 
"Uh...I'm actually not sure. I think...I think that I was just drycleaned by God. Or something."
 
"Man, you just have to upstage me every time, don't you?"
