Pattern Ghost

I just had a thought, what if I'm keeping the voices up at night?

Or madness causes insomnia . . . The voices keep me up at night, don't know about the rest of you.

So you admit you used to lick your butt?

It was a post-Fact joke.

My parents are on the Panhandle side, so they're going to have some serious weather but should be OK. If the last map posted is accurate. I was looking at another map that showed a bunch of both US and EU models for the path that basically put the whole state in the path, depending on the starting assumptions for each model.

We've got to keep up with Jupiter, you know. One day we'll have an even bigger giant red eye.

I'm just glad Irma will only have mild 120 mph winds by the time it reaches my parents' end of the state.

I'm not too great at the breathing thing most days. Smokey days, I just hide and sit around with my brain in idle mode due to low fuel supply. Here's to clear air for you guys too!

The new Bladerunner is a sequel, not a remake. Even has Harrison Ford in it. I'm not saying it'll be good or anything, just that it's not a remake.

In the WA news today, the governor declared a state of emergency this afternoon due to our wildfires. I guess we didn't want to be outdone by Canada. Our car was covered in a light dusting of ash this morning. I've been holed up in a very hot home with the windows shut. Death by asthma or heat stroke. Decisions, decisions.

I think I may have found a winner for the cutest picture to come out of Harvey: http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/25318-pissed-off-cat-swims-through-hurricane-harvey-waters-and-wins-over-the-internet I'd hotlink the pic, but it's from Getty and they're a sue-happy bunch of so-and-sos.

Yeah, the islands frequently take the brunt of things for us. They're going to have a rough time.

If by "tasteless" you mean excellent, then I agree!

That one's a customized version of Big Eyes, Small Mouth. If you like the setting, it's probably worth picking up just as a sourcebook. (Probably on eBay or other second hand market.) They always did a good job on their licensed anime games and sourcebooks, IMO. I have a few for other settings (Tenchi Muyo mainly.) The Tri-Stat system used is a point buy system that's not terrible, but not too detailed. It's basically a very rules-light Hero-inspired system. The default lethality is usually pretty low. Guardians of Order went under a while ago, and I think most of their IPs were bought by White Wolf, so some of their stuff is still available as PDF. However, the licensed stuff probably isn't.

Saw John Wick today. Decent action. Keanu only needed one emotion for this one, so nailed the acting too.

Everyone knows it's better to use a butter knife. That way the knife's warm for spreading the butter on the toast.

This is one of those songs that you go, "Wow, so pretty . . ." then you listen to the lyrics . . .

It's not really so cut and dry as that, though. Depending on which of the many versions of each you reference, they're gods of varous aspects of war.

You get it!

Sure, but me knowing it totally throws me out of the gag, which up until then had been about actually stupid and dangerous things, not common misconceptions.

don't write for DC/WB. To be fair, since we're talking about ancient Greece, they're all dead anyway. But this is the DC version of Ares, not the "real" version. Comic versions of ancient pantheons never match up with real world ones. The Vikings and Ancient Greeks never depicted their gods with as many Kirby dots, for example.

I hate to be a wet blanket*, but a cartoon pointing out how stupid someone is, shouldn't have a stupid punch line. Consumers have always been allowed to remove the tags from mattresses. The tags' warning is to the seller of the mattress. *

Rename Stun to Shucks. As in "Shucks ma'am, it was only a flesh wound."

I haven't done anything in it yet. Are they trickling out the content like Broken Shore?
