I'm pretty much a universal 20% tipper. I will venture up from that, but I rarely go below. It doesn't matter the context (except buffets, which I usually don't tip much for unless the server is amazing, which is hard with just soft drinks). I did once get in a habbit of really generous...

I personally wonder how many people screwed up their vote due to the change in format. I have my doubts about the validity of this one. buzzard

AARGHH!!! I misread the damn poll. Assuming it was like all the others, in that you were to choose the city to get Nuked, I choose Sigil. Damnit. I demand a recount. buzzard

This I like. I think I'll run with this. buzzard

Is it just me or does the rule where skill checks being dependent on monster HD seem stupid? I mean say you're fighting a skeleton, ok that's a nice easy knowlege religion check. Make it a really big skeleton, which acts in pretty much the same fashion and looks the same, and all of a sudden...

I'm a mild TNG partisan. It had some truly brilliant episodes. Of course it also has some pretty crappy ones as well. However, most of the characters I liked at least. DS 9 certainly had its moments, but I disliked too many of the characters to really enjoy the show. I also never cared much for...

I'm about halfway through running book two now. I already took my group through book one. I'm pretty sure book one would stand alone just fine. It's not like the PCs are clued in enough about the greater scheme of things that the resolution to book one doesn't feel like a fairly final...

Honestly I've found that SG-1 has worn out its welcome and deserved to be put down. It had a nice long run. Shows can't last forever (except soaps of course). buzzard

Damn, you know I think I bought most of that comic run back then and I had completely forgoten about it. It was pretty good IIRC. buzzard

Got the Charlie Brown Holiday DVD collection. I'd been wanting that for a while but Costco had been overcharging for it. Also got a book on Patton that I wanted. That's just from the GF. Owing to the Denver Blizzard I was unable to get out of town to visit the relatives, so I imagine I still...

I know the episode was pretty lousy, but we should at least be ranting at how bad it was. IMO it was clearly the low point of the season so far. I mean the ending was so cringingly bad that I cannot even remember any high points. buzzard

Didn't know that. However there is at least a substancial body of work to compare Gretsky to. If he had done his thing in 1931 it would have been harder to compare historically. However getting excited over a point streak when it is much easier to maintain due to new rules seems silly to me...

While I don't mind the shootout too much, as they can be entertaining to watch, I get rather miffed by the change in stats. A while back I was watching a Anaheim/Pittsburgh game and the announcers were crowing about how Anaheim was setting the record for most consecutive points. Talk about a BFD...

A couple years back when I worked at a research lab in Albuquerque NM, we had a head technician who claimed that nothing, whatsoever was actually really hot. He and I used to go out for lunch each Friday in search of the hottest green chile sauce to be found. I got a good exposure to the local...

OK, about a month ago I ordered a new AC adapter from Samsung for my cell phone since I forgot mine while travelling. In an utterly boneheaded move I put the wrong state on the shipping address. I had been wondering why it had never shown up, but when I finally actually read the shipping email I...

My favorite hot sauce would be Shrirracca (sp?) sauce. It comes in a large squeeze bottle with a green top and a rooster on the front. You can get it at Asian markets. Pretty darned hot stuff, but very flavorful. I use it on most things where hot sauce has any excuse being. I think it is related...

Not to get into numbers, but I rather suspect I exceed that average handily. Back in my college days, I simply killed that number and buried it. Heck we regularly drank a gallon a night every weekend. buzzard

Part of the confusion probably comes from the fact that the novel order and the movie order aren't at all close. For example Dr. No, while the first movie, was well along in the book series. The Jamaican assistant in it, Quarrel, gets whacked. However he's also present in Live and Let Die, a...

OK, I roomed with a fair number of people during grad school, so I have some experience like this. Of course I was good friends with the people I roomed with before I got into any the the places, so that helped. Some things I learned over time. There will be one name on each of the bills. You...

While I though Brosnan was a really good Bond, he only had one decent movie in my opinion. I like Goldeneye, but the others were all lacking to my taste. The second was fair at least, but his last two were pretty much utter dreck. buzzard
