    Perspective...

    Today I had one of the worst possible days at work. as soon as I got to work, everything that could possibly go wrong at some point did go wrong. As sector supervisor, I have discovered that the job entails a lot of juggling. At any given time I have at least 3 different tasks that need to be...

    ok so I'm not the only one who's got a thing for Gwen? I swear, everyone looks at me funny when I say I think she's smokin'. and that accent........I won't even start on that one :).

    Propane tanks and lightning...

    The main reasons for the warning about storage of propane tanks indoors are AFAIR: 1) Propane gas is heavier than air. in the event of a leak, the propane will accumulate along the lower areas of an enclosed space, causing possible asphyxiation a lot faster than a lighter than air gas even...

    Seed Bank

    Could you imagine the economic prosperity of the nation in control of such a thing? could you imagine the level of defence that such a place would have in a post apocalyptic world? Yeah it would be a significant target but I would imagine it to be nigh unassailable. Of course, that is assuming...

    GVRD - Player looking for group...

    I'm looking to get into a game in the Greater Vancouver area. I live in Surrey but as long as you're on or near a bus route I can get there. I prefer DnD, but I'm willing to give any system a shot though it may take a game or two to catch the swing of a new system. I'm 34 male. No topic or...

    Guitar Hero on an Amiga

    "eaten by a Grue"..... I love it. The thing that got me about Zork though was that you actually had to TRY to get eaten by a grue. it gave you so many warnings.

    My fave is the ad for the 1200 BPS modem that is bigger than 3 laptops stacked.

    mmmmm..... Cadbury Cream Eggs.....

    Well one gram of sugar is approximately 4 calories and one gram of fat is about 9. 25g x 4 cal/g is 100 (approx) 6.4g x 9cal/g is 58 (approx) with the rest made up in protein.

    [Rant] I really diserve a x-mas/holiday bonus..

    Personally, I think all people who act in the manner of El Asshat should be stuffed into a burlap sack and beaten with reeds. Seriously, I miss the days when a public shaming was an effective tool for deterring this kind of deplorable behaviour. Nowadays, people wear their rudeness as a badge of...

    What qualities make a gamer awesome?

    no body odor... or at least if you have body odor make sure it's "flowers" and not "dead man and onions".

    Could you please help me find small clay urns?

    you may want to check out second hand stores like Value Village (or it's local equivalent) or even a pottery store. Heck, maybe even one of those knick knack stores you see at the mall (you know the ones. they sell worthless crap and are covered with black lights).

    "Don't waste my time..." WTF??

    In my defense, we knew what we were getting I was just making sure I didn't get the order mixed up. the entire process extended the conversation by about 10 to 15 seconds. I could maybe understand his reaction if we called and then tried to decide what we were going to order but his reaction was...

    "Don't waste my time..." WTF??

    I called to order a pizza tonight from a local establishment. I was placing the order and paused briefly to confirm with the GF what toppings we were getting. The guy on the phone then says to me, "Don't waste my time." My response - Excuse me?!? Don't waste your time? Fine.. see ya. *click*...

    13 Hours of Sleep!

    I've noticed that I sleep in multiples of 90 minutes. I gone on as little as 3 hours and as much 15. As long as its a multiple of 90 minutes I usually have no problems with being tired. Otherwise I'm irritable and in a semi haze for most of the day.

    WANTED: Dark Secrets

    Hmm... Perhaps an ancestor offered one of his daughters to a Dark Power in exchange for wealth and nobility. The Power raped her soul (leaving the body unscathed) in a dream so she had no concious memory of the horrible ordeal. As a result however, that corruption of the Dark Power manifests...

    board game suggestions?

    two really good games that are suitable for 2 players would be Carcassonne, which is a tile based game with simple rules and no dice... and Ticket to Ride. Another game without dice where you attempt to build railroads across North America. Both games are easily scaleable to 4 or more players...
