From a French horn player:
How do you make a trombone sound like a French horn?

Stick your hand in the bell and play all wrong notes.

Don't ask how much ham he has in the freezer.

Yeah . . . poor guy doesn't stand a chance.

Better idea. Give him a long metal object and tell him to hold it up and wait for the next thunderstorm. There is your future conductor. 

This is not really a joke so much as a true story that the joke reminded me of.  While I was in high school band, we were practicing our field show when a thunderstorm started coming in.  Our director--who had a great sense of humor--was on top of the press box by himself with a megaphone when we started seeing lightning.  One of our drum majors yelled up to him, asking if we should end practice because of the storm.  The answer through the megaphone was, "No.  Run it again."

We finished that run and the lightning was noticeably closer.  Same drum major yelled up, "That's getting closer and we have a lot of brass down here.  Shouldn't we stop?"  The answer from the director was, "I'm up here!  I'm in more danger than any of you.  One more time!"

From the back of the band, someone yelled, "Yeah, but you're not a good conductor!"

The megaphone clicked back on and we all hear chuckling through it before "OK!  Go home!"

Check to see if COBOL code is still being used in the IT field.

Why?  Just WHY?

Damage Negation is a 6th edition power--basically, it's 5 points (per level) to subtract 1 damage class from the attack hitting you, and bought for each type of damage you want to negate.

I know a guy that was working at a zoo trying to herd wallabies one evening when one of wallabies jumped up and head-butted him.  Eric ended up with a broken nose and two black eyes.  He might disagree about that killer instinct.  🙂

I think that's the first time violence has broken out at a Chiefs (or Royals, not that there have been many of those) parade.

Knowing the error message(s) might help someone trouble shoot the issue.

Here is a picture of some of mine, confirming the photo in the store just didn't show a 2.

Bad hobbit friend. At least warn them after the first one. 

He just wanted a little revenge after all the short jokes he's heard.

Perhaps that was why it was one of your last baby-sitting gigs ever?  😃

Maybe the aliens are actually trying to free the Earth from the supers in charge?  They're not _quite_ heroes, but not necessarily villains either.  The PCs could establish a working relationship with them, fight them, or possibly even be aliens themselves.

^^^  I think something is about to have a VERY bad day.

And he's still about to be beaten down.

I'm hoping for Arizona - Texas . . . which almost guarantees it'll be Philadelphia - Houston, with Houston winning the World Series.

Surely you weren't expecting us to become less random over time?

Why would anyone do that to perfectly good bacon?

Well, SOMEONE has to be sure the bounties are actually paid--and the taxes on the bounties are also paid.

You think Vader's scary?  You don't want to meet the Empire's Revenue Collection Service agents!

Maybe with a really good Seduction roll?

Isn't three pages a single normal Duke post?  🙂

I can think of one hero I know was killed in a Champions game.  He'd been designed for a new player, but the player opted not to join the game on the night the character was being introduced.  One of our regular characters had been captured and was being experimented on by the big bad, so the team was trying to break him out of the villain's lair.  During the firefight in the holding area of the lab, a grenade got knocked into one of the cells . . . where the new character was being held.

Since the player had decided not to join the game, the GM decided "BOOM!  First-Aid had no resistant defenses without his armor.  He's DEAD."

Our *characters* had no idea the room was occupied and were fighting just to get out, so we never checked the room.
