Pariah got a reaction from Bazza in In other news...
There's now an evacuation order for one of the canyons east of Salt Lake City due to a fast moving fire. To complicate matters, it's the canyon through which Interstate 80 comes into the city. The interstate is down to one lane in each direction, which will not help with the evacuation.
Our air quality has been horrible this summer--we had the worst air quality in the world one day a couple of weeks ago, I read--due to half of Western North America being on fire. But we haven't had any big fires nearby until now. Not an encouraging development.

Pariah got a reaction from Lord Liaden in Funny Pics II: The Revenge
I don't drink, but this week, getting ready for students to come back on Monday, has really made me wonder about it.

And yes, today, Friday the 13th of August, I was the customer from Hell.

Pariah reacted to Cancer in A Game of Numbers
I'm playing the last official release (v1.3.1), which has its warts and its tactical AI isn't all that smart, but it scratches an itch like few other things do. The graphics would now be considered execrably primitive, but IMO flashy graphics are what game developers use to paper over their all-but-total ineptitude as strategic thinkers in terms game design and in AI logic. In the Civilization franchise I admit I haven't played anything since Civ II, which lacked a tactical battle facet but had a lot of other stuff going for it.
And it's turn-based, which for me is flatly essential. I peaked with a RL DEX 6, and I've accrued some age penalties from there, so I find twitch games unplayable. It is also single-player, so I don't have to deal with the fungi who populate the festering cesspit of infantile anal aggression that characterizes almost every on-line game I have ever seen.

And in one monologue we have the reasons why Voyager sucked. Good quote though.

Q: How'd your fiendish plot go, to mess up all commerce by yanking all the master clocks off kilter?
A: Time is relative! Unfortunately, that relative is your mother-in-law.

Pariah reacted to death tribble in Random Song Lyrics Thread
I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music
And I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even tho' I'm very old
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I am music and I write the songs

Pariah got a reaction from Logan D. Hurricanes in "Neat" Pictures
It's kind of strange to think that there are only two of those guys left. It's even more strange that Bob Dylan is one of them.
