    But it kinda sounded like your BF was doing the same thing there. Oh yes, I remember the mountains of Oregon. Drove through about 6 years ago. People drive really slow and back up a whole line of cars behind them, then 'torch the rocket' so to speak when people finally have a chance to pass...

    Lady in the Water Predictions and possible spoilers

    Watery tarts distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. I predict that I will not see this movie. And now I have that Robot Chicken thing about Shaymalan stuck in my head. What a twist!

    Is that a bad thing? :D RichCsigs; The speeding up to cut people off after they signal is a real problem for our work trucks. Sometimes we're forced to simply come over anyway and hope they figure it out. Yeah, we're bad guys! ;) Left Lane drivers. You and me both, bud. In 31...

    There you go. See my Sig line regarding Perception. It is not a "right", it's a REQUIREMENT of the job. You don't have a gun, you don't carry money. Period. We are not simple 'security guards' (who are not entitled to park in these spots). We carry the same risks in cash handling as...

    There was no "threat". To repeat what I said in the original post, a delivery guy yelled at me for parking in the handicap spot outside City Hall. I simply patted my gun and said "When they let me carry a gun in a court house, they let me park wherever I want". This is an indication that my...

    Chimera's Story Hour

    (Session 4) On the morning of the 16th, Nieri and Healer John attend the ‘Wizard Conclave’, held in Sergeant Arrowflight’s quarters. Healer John attends only because of the availability of scroll ink (1). They find ten other low-level Wizards in attendance. Five from the Red Arcana...

    I've had to explain this one to a number of people. "Look, I said No. I meant it. After the third time, you are just being rude and disrespectful. You obviously don't care what I think or say, you just want to badger me into doing what you want, and I'm not interested. Do not EVER ask me...

    As I said, I am authorized to park pretty much anywhere I want. We are an Authorized Vehicle, able to drive down special lanes and even park on sidewalks if necessary. In that particular spot, I am surrounded by Police vehicles, I have dozens of Police officers walking past me. Not ONE has...

    Does Your Group Abuse NPCs?

    You played with that guy too, eh? Me neither. I make it clear that I play it like it is a real world and these are real people. That there are very real consequences for acting that way, just like there are in the real world. But hey, I stop by the County Jail every day for my real life...

    The party's cleric *won't* heal your character?!

    As I said to a new player today, who was considering playing a Cleric; "As for either Cleric concept, I can easily leave Healer John with the group as an NPC if you do not wish to focus so heavily on healing. Honestly, that's the CORE reason why I think people don't like playing Clerics -...

    Summer evenings....

    My favorite time of the day is that brief period from sunset to complete darkness. It is still light out, but the sun is gone, often with lingering sunset effects. The wind too tends to die down (though not always) and things get quiet and peaceful. When I had a schedule that accomodated it...

    Do you realize that this would be a fairly accurate description of how people go about becoming addicted to hard drugs?

    Too bad for them. "Blah, blah, I'm selfish and don't care about others." Yeah, I see that all day long. I don't think you quite meant that - probably missed a word there. I see it only as a last resort, which although very rare, is still necessary far more than I'd like. Again, the...

    This would be a good example of Assuming the Worst (and then seeking to punish the other for it). Step back there, Mo'. I'm not intentionally rude. But if you walk in front of me and stand there, I have to get around you. Sometimes that involves unintentional contact. Sometimes that...

    Tips on Streamlining for a Very Large Party?

    Some good advice all around. Some of mine, some of which duplicates above; Rewards for being on-time and sticking to the game. But only if most of the group is on the bad side of things. XP Penalties for being late, if it's getting to be a serious problem. Start on-time every time and let...

    Joker confrimed for Batman Begins sequel.

    I agree completely. The worst part of the Batman franchise, other than the plots, acting, etc, etc, was that they just kept adding Villains for no apparent reason. Nothing will kill this franchise faster than pointlessly attempting to fill out every possible Batman Villain and NPC position in...

    I drive a 20,000 pound armored vehicle around our downtown all day. I just don't get how people can continually zip around me, get in front of me and hit their brakes. If we hit you, it's going to ruin a lot more than your day. "Are you brain damaged??? Well you will be if this truck hits...

    Remember the DUNGEON boardgame by TSR? Predated D&D?
