Re: A Thread for Random Musings

Hey look, I haven't caught Headbanger's ball for a couple of years! And yet the bands are all the same. Otep, Meshuggah, Max Cavalera... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

It's really hard to tell these spaghetti westerns apart.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

this is just sick and wrong if it really works.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Huh. I knew oranges were always male or herm, but I didn't know about tortie sexuality. Who said you can't learn anything from playing RPGs?

Re: The cranky thread

The Tamiflu works great, but I'm the only one who was in a position to get it--it's still working its way through the rest of the family. I'm just hoping it doesn't get to my wife.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Just like any other rash or boil.

It was either this or "I is the Kwisatz Haderach!"

just begging to be LOLCat fodder.

Nah...

You can also buy the PDF of it from Paizo publishing for $4:

Didn't the hardcopy version originally cost $4?

Re: What gives the "rightful" king the right?

That only works up to a point. When a king was too young it always brought up lineage and regency issues that more often than not resulted in chaos.

Re: The cranky thread

So I got the flu from my kid, who got it from his cousin, who got it from her mom. Some family get-together. (It's influenza-A, if anyone cares.)

Meanwhile, the side effects list on the Tamiflu is entertaining. Blistering rashes? Confusion? Wth is this stuff?

Re: The cranky thread

Esteemed coworker:

Whereas-

you routinely forget your own meetings and rely on engineering to remember them for you;

you are so poorly organized that you fail to bring important opportunities to our attention in a timely manner;

you expect engineering to drop whatever they're doing and meet the submissions deadlines for those opportunities anyway;

you have repeatedly failed to credit engineering for their efforts in these matters;

you can nevertheless be counted on to report any and all mistakes committed by engineering to your superiors, clearly intending to shift blame away from yourself;

The Engineering Department-

declines to assist you with your personal meeting schedule henceforth;

refuses to create technical specifications for your opportunities with less than 24 hours' notice, lest they be improperly checked for error;

will report to your superiors every mistake you ever make, with the eventual goal of having you disciplined or terminated.

Most sincerely,

Engineering.

Re: The cranky thread

There is no last page. That's a bug that's been happening for a while now. You're on the last page, it's just that the boards append a phantom one.

Would you measure your depression in fathoms? Back when I used to get it, I would get this image in my mind of being trapped in a box far underground. It was a very claustrophobic feeling.

Re: The cranky thread

My favorite weekend all-year is NFL Draft weekend.

Far be it for me to question the eccentricities of a Hero gamer... but this part confuses me. Anyway, I sympathize, my two-year-old sticks like a barnacle whenever I'm home. I'd recommend tying them up, but it sounds like you need the whole weekend, not just one game.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

"Ray of Light" should have gotten her a jail sentence.

"Ray of Light" and "Frozen" are her best two songs, dude. "Vogue" is the one that she should have been jailed for.

Re: Certain gods in real-world pantheons

Yeah, while there may be no clear "evil" deity in some pantheons, some have no clear "good" deity either. The Greek certainly seems like one of these.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

And yet I'm guessing that you don't like all, or even most, of her stuff.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Which ones, in your opinion, have both music and vocals that don't suck?

Re: Musings on Random Musings

I don't like artists so much as I like specific songs. Madonna's later work includes two or three good songs. There are only one or two musicians in the cosmos where I like a significant percentage of their work.

I didn't escape the ice storm' date=' we had last week, like I thought. The falling branches messed up our gutters just enough that water came into the basement yesterday. Into my room.[/quote']

 

They keep you locked up in the basement too eh? I shoulda known.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

Today my kid's happy meal toy had a laser in it. A frickin' laser. When did it become the future?

Then again, the whole point of the toy was to aim the laser into your eye...
