    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I freely admit that sometimes I'll get one of those small blocks of sharp cheddar sized for slicing up onto crackers and eat it just like a candy bar.

    How halfling society works

    The giving and receiving of gifts was a very big thing in ancient Gaelic cultures - as a king or other high-ranking member of society, you were expected to regularly give out lavish gifts to show your prestige and prosperity, and a stingy king was not going to be well-respected. (Irish legend...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sadly, I've met quite a few folks over the years, born and raised in this country, who have absolutely no idea how to speak, write or act in anything approaching an appropriate manner in our real-world society... They live their meat lives like they're on 4Chan... :rolleyes:

    You could start cooking them and do a food truck... Armadillo tacos and armadillo cheesesteaks.

    The one issue with listening to music at work is Coworker Jim... Despite the fact that we actually like a lot of the same music, you can't listen to that music without also listening to an academic dissertation on it while you're trying to listen. Or the "clever jokes/comments" on the lyrics...

    Listened to the Coverdale Page album (well, the first four or five songs anyway) for the first time at work today. Never knew Page sang.

    Whenever people ask me what I think about things being discussed and where I fall personally on the issues, I reply, "Well, different people are stupid in different ways..."

    Your Favorite Mini Companies?

    What companies you're looking for are going to depend largely on just what sort of figures you're looking for - sci-fi, fantasy, pcs, townsfolk, monsters, etc... I'm primarily a Reaper guy. I'm also preferably an old-school metal guy, although Reaper's plastics are now really good as well. I...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    For me, retaining information, especially game rules, is something that contains both visual and somatic components (pun intended)... My mind tends to index information in rule books not primarily by chapter number or page numbers but by retaining a "physical map" of the book itself - by the...

    What Game Has The Best Fiction

    Shortly after Tracy Hickman came to TSR, he started developing a series of dragon-based adventures, which, right from the start, would have novels based on them, and the whole story line was written out completely before either the modules or the novels were created so it was essentially just...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    When I was a kid, we had one of those huge wooden stereo cabinets with the turn table, AM/FM radio, and 8-track in it that used to double as a long side table at holiday parties... Decades after we got rid of it, my father (for some bizarre reason) decided to drag another one home from the...

    This is starting to get really old... Because it's been around 87-89 degrees steadily for most of last week* they cancelled second and third shifts Tuesday and again Thursday and Friday. We got paid for the first two, but Friday I had to either use my PTO to cover it or show up at the other...
