OK. I know we aren't supposed to post pictures that are adult in nature, nor should we post links to such websites. But there is this very cool site with excellent very pencil art I'd love to share with the boards. It involves many nudes of super-heroes (well, heroines mostly - and drawn very top-heavy at that - with Supergirl, Batgirl and Wonder Woman as frequent favorites...) and other hot cartoon characters (Liberty Meadow's anyone?). It also involves them in highly explicit activities.
 
Thing is... is it permissable for me to even reference that kind of link here?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 

 
NP: Everyone's picking on me. This game is too hard. I quit.
 
GM: Why is my player base so stagnant?
 
Hero Games: Why are our sales not going up? Where are all the new players?
 
Off topic to the thread, but maybe the new player would have a better time, and be up to speed faster, if someone actually helped them, instead of yelling at them and abusing them for making errors. I like to get an experienced player to "buddy" the new player for a few sessions (freeing the GM from this task).

I heard this on the radio this morning, as sung by Niel Young.
 
BLOWING IN THE WIND
Bob Dylan
 
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
 
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
 
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How To Clean Your Toilet - The Fun Way
 
Instructions on how to clean your toilet
 

 
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
 
 
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
 
 
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
 
 
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
 
 
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
 
 
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
 
 
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
 
 
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
 
 
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
 
The Dog
 

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
Pride is always a bitter, barbed pill to swallow.
 
Doing so requires we not think ourselves above another. Any other. We may not agree with them, and we may even be forced to fight them, but none of that makes us 'better.'
 


Often it requires us to give way when the urge to be unmoving is causing the blood to pound in our ears.
 
It can require us to stand silent before the jeering mass even when we feel justified in bringing the hosts of heaven down around their heads.
 


It always requires us to accept our own fallability. No matter how much we would like to protest to the contrary, we are the cause and center of our trials and troubles.
 
Pride erodes away at us slowly and steadily. The longer we let it do so, the greater the distance between us and the rest of our world will become.
 


Close friends become acquaintances.
 
Friendly rivals become enemies.
 
Disagreement becomes intolerance and hate.  
We like to ignore how destructive pride is. We'd like to make it a virtue. We want our posturing and chest-thumping to be seen as good and righteous.
 
I'd sure like that, but it isn't.

I've decided on a new avatar

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
Sorry to inject this in the middle of the stand up!
 
I "walked the walk" today, and it was tough! I got together with an old buddy; he and I were homeless together as teens, and saw each other through some real hard times. We shared interest in guitar years ago, and when I caught up with him it was one of teh first things I asked him. Turns out that his ex trashed his guitar, and times have been too lean for him to replace it. I couldn't decide which of mine I could part with, so I took my acoustics to him and let him pick one. So now Valerie 23, the Ibanez A/E has a new home. Like the scripture says, "If you have two cloaks, and someone has none, give him one of yours."
 
It was awesome to get together with him again, and my family is asleep so I'm telling you about it. We talked about how fortunate we are to be drawing breath after the adventures we went through. We laughed about living for a week on oyster crackers and cocoa packets, reminisced over fights where we backed each other up, shared fond memories of sleeping in the school bus lot, shivered over hitchhiking nightmares become reality, and looked deep into our beers as we remembered the times we got dinner out of a dumpster.
 
I felt a little bad, because I have gathered more material wealth than he has been able to. I am fortunate to be able to offer my family security that I never had, and I would like for him to have that too. But he's content; he has a daughter he sees sometimes, a couple exes that suck up his money - but he has found peace after all of that.
 
I see him now, and remember him as a kid and am just amazed that he is doing as well as he is, even though he's sharing a home with some other folks. I mean, to climb up from nothing and earn a place in society is very hard - too many take it for granted. But it also really hits home about just how far I have come. I was street punk just like him, and I, too, take my success for granted far too often. I am no rags to riches millionaire, but my family has a full belly and a roof overhead, and those are huge blessings indeed.
 
Just remember, fellow citizens: In America you have the right to succeed beyond your wildest imaginings. But with that comes teh right to fail and fall totally unnoticed through the cracks.
 
There but for the grace of God go I.

Desiderata
 
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real progression in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspiration, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Real life is a lot of work, though the rewards are more than worth the effort... except when you are the kind of idiot who runs rampant over all of the rewards.
