Re: Musings on Random Musings Condolences. Although in hindsight, my own layoffs and walkouts turned out for the better. Good luck!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I'd forgotten how much hospitals sick. The food is bad and generally hard to get. The room is full of state of the art gear yet it's impossible to get comfortable. When you need a nurse there are none to be found, but when you don't need them they're barging in every ten minutes to poke this or ask that, making sleep impossible.

Re: A Game Of Questions Are you trying to scapegoat me?!

Re: A Game Of Questions Is it a need, or just a nice to have?

Re: Guns in Fantasy "Shield with sword blade, gauntlet, sword catchers, and lantern" Good thing they had the lantern in there, otherwise it'd have been too specialized.

Re: A Game Of Questions What, aren't you guys immortal like me?

Re: Game of Thrones And besides, so what if he did? Real people act irrationally all the time. Most of the time, for some. Stannis' psych lims are pretty obvious, and he got quite a few points for them.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread No, I've already informed him that he's going to grow up to be a chiropractor, so he can undo some of the damage he's done.

Re: A Game Of Questions Do words have meaning?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Geez, my angelfish used to murder anything living in his tank inside of 48 hours. Yours is pretty lazy. Or unusually well adjusted.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Enforcer84 and L. Marcus are two people, unless my math is off. As for nice happy, my kid drinks out of a regular cup now. And he can count up to five objects, which makes him smarter than bunnies.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Well, sex needs two people, and there's two of you, so one possible solution springs to mind...

Re: A Game Of Questions What's love got to do with it? What's love, but a secondhand emotion?

Re: Musings on Random Musings Best kind, if you ask me. You can compost them and use them to make your lawn greener, which is more useful than they'd ever be intact.

Re: Game of Thrones I have to admit that ASoIaF is really grim and bleak, and at times that's hard to take. But I also really like the unpredictability of the story, and the believability of the characters.

Re: Necromancy School Umm, I'll just post my necromancer character here, he has a bunch of necro spells.

Re: A Game Of Questions People have time to watch TV?

Re: A Game Of Questions Is that writing on the wall, or just graffiti?

Re: A Game Of Questions Are we going to Magic Mountain, or Candy Mountain? And has anyone seen Charlie?

Re: Musings on Random Musings Yeah, well, I picked Cryx since most of the figs can also be pressed into service as fairly generic undead critters for Fantasy Hero.

Re: A Game Of Questions Whose reality are you talking about? And can I come to Magic Mountain with you guys?
