[QUOTE="Heap Thaumaturgist, post: 258326, member: 4516"] Rolling a "Happy". For some reason we've always called a natural 20 a "Happy". "Dude, I rolled a Happy." Then there's: "Small hands." A friend of mine ran a paladin with a totally unnatural fear of goblins. Nothing else. Just goblins. He attributed it to their small hands (grabbed from Austin Powers). It was sort of silly, but it made for some interesting situations. Now, even in regular conversation, if there's ever a joke or situation involving a totally irrational fear we shrug and say: "Small hands." And making a little crooked bunny ears with your hand and hopping it along in front of your body. Hard to explain that one. It started in game when the group's paladin was put on "watch". The other PCs were lying in wait for an ambush and they were trying to think of a signal that the paladin could use to alert the party without being verbal. They couldn't decide on anything until the player made the crooked bunny ears and hopped them in front of his chest and said: "This means evil approacheth, okay?" That one stuck outside of game too, for some reason, and if we're about to get into a difficult situation or a decidedly unsavory person we don't want to get stuck talking to his heading over somebody will do the ears. --HT [/QUOTE]
