Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Thomas Shey]

Yeah, my statement comes from my experiences coordinating Organized Play tables at conventions. I've seen plenty of groups of one GM + 2/3 players, where the end result is pretty skewed. You get good at identifying possible problem areas. Or, I guess, you field a lot of complaints from dissatisfied con-goers, also an option.

Honestly, it strikes me as trying to do a good job presenting the right experience at convention games is a pain in the behind. I haven't done it in decades, and back when I did there was a stronger common set of expectations than there is now.

Mr. Rogers would be very disappointed in some of you.

You never made it as a wise man
You couldn't cut it as a cleric healing
You tired of playing as a good man
Now you wants to play a class that's unappealing
And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me
Of what Bards really are
This is how you remind me
Of what Bards really are

You never will say that you're sorry
Play a different Bard but the same old story
You play a class that's godforsaken
Another cutting word and my mind is achin'

You say that I 'm wrong, Bards are fine
Same jokes scrape the bottom of every barrel
These five words in my head
Scream "Do you hate enough yet?"

With this filk, you have broken open a seal long closed that you may regret having undone.

Fighting a dragon right now!

Edit: Adult green dragon...we killed it.

You should apologize for not enjoying the things I enjoy as much as I enjoy them.

Sorry, I apologize that I've not learned to control my gag reflex.

All that said, I’ll still stand by my assertion that the Stones’ lawsuit probably prevented “The Rolling People” from getting released. It’s a solid song, IMHO, better than some of the other songs from that album that had videos and got radio & TV airplay. But it’s easy to imagine that record label execs would be gunshy about releasing a song with an obvious relation to someone else’s music having just lost in court over a similar situation.

I’m gonna go with that assertion is one of those things you gift people with when there’s a few beers around and certain songs get played, cause I don’t think that came up here, but I love it. Also yes, naughty word lawsuit. And thank you again for Aphroditie’s Child, not heard of them before. And I distinctly remember that trash bloby Verve song, one of the like, I dunno, most, songs on that album that I’d punch next on repeatedly so we could hear something else while doing rails on my roommates bed back in the 90s. SPaZZZ omg play Los angeLeLes omg Spazz. Whee.

If it wasn’t clear, thank you

I will say, it was tricky. If you plan on ever coordinating games at a Con, at any level, I highly suggest you develop a thick skin! There are lots of people who've never even heard of pineapple on pizza! They assume everybody eats it like they do, with dry spaghetti and pickle chips sprinkled on.

I want to know why everyone is reserving so much ire for a harmless pizza topping of pineapple when every day people shamelessly put pasta into bread bowls, even sub rolls

This is why I only serve indie pizza at conventions.

"Oh, yes, it's supposed to have candied fruit on it. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

If a taco is an sandwich, is a tostada an opened face sandwich? If so, is a pizza also an open faced sandwich?
