Thank you for the response. Reframing the question: do the videos provide lore, insight, and commentary or are they basically reading/presenting basic info that could be covered reading Dragonlance Adventures?

Is it any good? It keeps popping up for me, but I have yet to watch any of the videos.

That just sounds like a failure of imagination on the part of AB-InBev to market them as major drinking holidays. (See: St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo.)

I just put the link to the auction on my office Secret Santa wishlist. It's a bold move; let's see if it pays off.

I celebrate Thanksgiving as Abraham Lincoln intended, in honor of the defeat of those traitorous Confederate rebels at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and the fall of Atlanta and the capture of Mobile Bay. [/S] And for gravy. I like gravy.

I feel like "What's New with Phil and Dixie" did a bit about this a million years ago.

As an English teacher who studied more-than-a-fair-amount-of-Latin-American-lit-for-the-90's...BORGES is pretty fantastic. (I used to push to get more of him in the curriculum on a regular basis.)

I need to add: "I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed." -North by Northwest

I also use that line from The Big Lebowski basically as punctuation. That, and the one about The Eagles. I share your appreciation for Casablanca I'm going to go with the five (or so) movie quotes I tend to work into conversation: From Ghostbusters, "Dogs and cats living together - MASS...

I don't know much about the Wolpertinger, but Jackalope is a personal favorite here too. From classical mythology, I like Chimera. Spending much of my childhood vacationing in/around Wisconsin, but never TO Rhinelander, I've always been intrigued with the Hodag. Although I try to be...

Pops of our kids were a GREAT Xmas gift for my wife two years ago, but that's not a gift with a lot of "re-buy-ability". En toto: I have a Commander Data at work (this is off topic, but by way of explanation: Data is in a bin with a bunch of other Data action figures--the admin is big on...

Well you've accuracy described the players at my table...

I can see a future where Funko and Super7 merge/buyout. They both are niche, and there's probably a market for Pops/Soda, Reaction, Ultimates, and whatever Mondo is doing under the same corporate overlord.

The first Free League TOR product that I'm going to pass on, since I have the box already. But it's a net positive this info is staying in circulation.
