    {OT} What's up with the depressing OT topics lately?

    I starting posting on ENWorld because of the community vibe on this board. There are tons of other RPG messageboards out there, but I keep coming back because of the community feel to this place.

    Gimble's a fraud!

    We need a scorecard to keep track of all the Iconics now. What's next? The iconic half-orc/half tiefling/half dragon paladin/rogue/barbarian?;)

    Run, do not walk and go find Versus

    Ooh, a martial arts zombie movie? Two of my favourite genres in one movie. I'm definitely going to watch for this one.

    Gimble Or Devis?

    Half-elves are sexier than gnomes any day of the week. I don't think we have an Iconic Mime, Gimbum can have that title.

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    Sheesh, you'll spoil him! My mom and I drove out to a farmer's market and got him some fresh cherries and strawberries. My brother's throwing a BBQ for him tomorrow. Our in-town friends bought him a bucket full of toys. Can't say we're not taking care of him.

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    Jeff is coming home Thursday evening. He's done so well the transplant team think he's ready to go home early. He'll be home for three months convalescing. In a week or so he should be rested enough to come online and thank everybody for their messages. I printed them off Sunday night, so...

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    I'm printing the messages off to take up to him tomorrow. He's coming home Friday so sometime next weekend he ought to be well enough to send his thanks personally. The good news keeps on coming. They've started Jeff on full fluids - clear soups, jello, juice, etc. They may let him have...

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    Yup. There's usually 200 or so people on the liver transplant list in Canada. Only 60 or 70 livers a year are suitable for transplant. You do the math. Jeff was running out of time. We were very lucky. Jeff had all but one of his tubes taken out today. Just the IV is left. He's able to...

    Movies that should have sucked, but didn't

    Below. My brother and my fiance wanted to rent it because it was directed by the same guy who did Pitch Black. I wanted to rent Spirited Away since it was my birthday, but they talked me into it. I don't know if it was even released to theatres in Canada, but it was good.

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    Thanks for the well wishes, everybody. I'll pass them on to Jeff as soon as I can. I visited Jeff in the hospital this evening. They've removed about half the tubes they stuck in him - I was actually able to kiss him on the cheek. He can sit up in a chair now and the nurses walked him up...

    (OT) Holy Bovine Is Out Of The Hospital *UPDATE*

    Jeff (Holy Bovine) was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis three years ago. It's a fatal liver disorder where scar tissue forms on the bile ducts and spreads out to destroy the liver. A liver transplant is the only cure. Early Tuesday morning the hospital called and said they had a...

    [March] What are you reading?

    This really made me smile as I have most of Piper's science fiction works (Terro Human Future History and Paratime) and am missing only one collection brought out about 15 years ago and his two mystery novels. I re-read them now and again and really enjoy his writing style. No one has come...
