I think I went to high school with Thatch. Well, OK, a kindred spirit at least.

Excellent...saves me the trouble of starting a thread. First of all, the rant was spot on. We, too, got the DVD for Christmas and have been watching a DVD a night since New Years Eve. I can't believe how much I grew to care about the characters -- all of them -- in just a few episodes. And...

That's what this Story Hour was missing -- Catholic schoolgirls. Too much good.

Page 3? I think not. Back to the front with you lot.

I would also direct you to the Privateer homepage (http://www.privateerpress.com/) and the newest E.I.C. column by Joe Martin, which is an update on the IKCG. I had confirmed by Joe in a private email that the column was dated about November 17, 2003. He also added, in typically cryptic...

The issue of the company’s focus (RPGs vs. miniatures) was hashed out on their Yahoo groups site a few months ago. Matt Wilson addressed the concerns as follows (dated August 9, 2003): A little out of date, sure, but it provided some much needed assurance that the RPG community was being...

OK, I'm suitably a-tingle with anticipation, but just out of curiosity, what's meant by campaign "seasons"? Man, I love this Story Hour.

Yeah, ok, just go ahead and add my name to the bottom of that "faithful readership" birthday card. (Dang, I'm always too late to go get a good present.)

I'm going with a scene from a 70's vintage 'bigfoot' movie here -- "The Legend of Boggy Creek". Kind of a faux documentary about the Fouke monster down in Arkansas. Anyway, in the scene, What I notice about how much certain movies have creeped me out is how old I was at the time and the...

Gotta be "The Magnificent Seven" Another. Not my favorite quote from the movie, but almost. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it."

Mickey, "Natural Born Killers" And from another favorite flick: "Spare me son, it's over... there are no more heroes left in the world."

Yep, Billy "Blaze" Blazejowski. Morgan Freeman, "Se7en" Malcolm McDowell, "A Clockwork Orange" OK, we haven't seen one of these for a day or two, and it's one of my all time favorites (probably not verbatim, but close enough): "You just shot an unarmed man!" "Well, he should've armed...

Marlon Brando, "The Wild One" And another... "I'm an idea man Chuck. I get ideas...sometimes I get so many ideas that I can't even fight 'em off."

OK, it was perhaps a tad too esoteric. This quote was from Friar Tuck, in Patrick Bergin's version of "Robin Hood". Sadly, it was produced at about the same time as Costner's (FAR inferior) version, and was relegated to being aired on television. I cannot recommend it highly enough...

John Lennon, "A Hard Day's Night" Here's another, a tad longish: "It's how I earn a living. I eat chickens to produce the bones and I make the bones into holy relics. Look, St. Peter's pinkey, only three marks. Our Lady's big toe - ten marks and it's yours. And with the money, I have to...

Following my own suggestion... John Candy, "Splash", referring to dropping change as an excuse to look up women's skirts. Even as a 30-something adult.

John Wayne to Richard Boone, "Big Jake" I consider Richard Boone to have been one of the best villainous actors ever, between the "Big Jake" role and providing the voice for Smaug in the Hobbit movie. Great quote, by the way.

Alan Shepard, "The Right Stuff" Here's another 80's reference: "Hey, when I find something that works for me, I stick with it."

My near-breaking point was right about then, too. She'd gotten lost in the woods and I muttered something about, "Well, with any luck she'll get eaten by a mountain lion." You know, absurd and ironic muttering. Within minutes, they trotted out the threatening feline. Oh, the agony.

Not necessarily. I don't consider myself the most observant fellow in the world, so I may well be overlooking something. Here are the quotes I had in mind: “The last sound you hear before you die is going to be me cracking your guts like a bullwhip!” (Or was that the Crying Game as well?)...
