Pariah

Somebody stole my copy of Microsoft Office. Whoever it was, I will find you. You have my Word.

You have six fingers? Did you know there's a Spaniard with a sword looking for you?

Camaraderie, mainly. Even though I don't play, I have created many characters in several different systems. And I'm a writer, this place discusses sci-fi, fantasy, and other genres I like. While I can't answer questions about specific rules, I can answer when people ask about creating drama in their setup. And I've asked questions on those lines, too.
 
This place has a whole lot of geeks, and I feel comfortable here.

Or for those who remember Yogi Bear, pick-a-nick basket.

That's what she said.

So this dyslexic guy walks into a bra....

So this dyslexic guy walks into a bra....

Here's one that Rand from Ookla the Mok told me a few months back:
 
A priest, a rabbi, an atheist, and a humpback whale go into a bar.
The priest says:
 
 
The rabbi says:
 
 
The atheist says:
 
 
The humpback whale says:
 
 
 
 

I was floating in the dust cloud of a nebula. No spacesuit, just a paperback book that I was reading.
 
 
Quite possibly the coolest dream I've ever had.

Congratulations!

Only if it is a-musing. 

Hey, I know karate.
 
(And, like, six other words in Japanese.)

Sounds like a pain in the aas to me.

On Christmas day, I fell asleep right after reading part of C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves. I then dreamed I was delivering the part I had just read as a lecture to several of my alternate selfs from parallel realities. It wasn't just a recitation of the text, but fit my own context.
 
Me: Society today has things so backwards that in many ways we don't even know where to begin. Take the word "naked." The word "naked" is actually a verb. It is the past participle of "naking," a verb referring to the peeling of a fruit. Thus, the naked state of the body was not seen as the most natural state, but the unnatural state. We should also note that in this time, the word natural did not refer to merely an object's physical state of being but to its accordance to the moral laws. For example, when Hamlet says that the ghost of his father is "unnatural," he means more than it shouldn't be here according to the universe's physical laws. On the contrary, he means that the ghost and its instructions should not be here according to God's moral laws.
 
Let's examine this more. Often you will hear people say that undressed they are being their most individual and hiding nothing. However, being undressed actually emphasizes not our individuality but our commonality. Look at us in this room. [Gestured for them to stand.] We are all of identical height and very similar weight and build. Were we to stand naked together, even our wives might have difficulty telling which comes from their reality, not that I suggest such a thing. Well, except for Ace* who has a hairstyle unlike any of the rest of us. However, we all wear different styles of clothing. When we are dressed in our own choice of clothes and styles, we express our individuality and personality.
 
And that is why the clothed state is the most natural state of the individual.
 
*Since we all have the same name, we used handles.
 
When I told my wife about this dream, she replied, "you need help."

My date ended badly last night. Everything went downhill after I demonstrated Osoto Gari:
 
 

 
 
It's all her fault. She said she wanted to be swept off her feet.

Cribbage, Rodeo Rummy, and Hollywood Game Night. I foresee many entertaining evenings ahead.

Ask me lightsaber color and I reach for spectral line wavelengths, which is an aspect of deep geekery you innocent children should be spared.

Dark side. Light side. I'm the guy with the light saber.

The wife handed me two potatoes and asked me to cube them. So I went to the store and bought six more.

I'm sure. I didn't get around enough to have sired unacknowledged children.

The Atlas Shrugged movie trilogy, rigged so that's all their TVs can play.

"What is a 'reboot disc', and why did it come to me instead of Tony Stark?"
 
(Too soon? )

Oddly enough, I once received a tract from one of the evangelical groups encouraging me to "Read the New Testament starting at the Gospel of John and through Revelations [sic]".
 
Which led me to wonder, "What does your church not want me to see in Matthew, Mark, and Luke?"

I had a couple of interesting ones recently that I actually typed up.
