That's only the southwestern corner of the state - the other three corners are pronounced Eastern Upstate NY, Western RI, and Southern Massachussetts... English is the Calvinball of languages.

Well, actually, the npc in question was a big strapping farmguy and my character is a buff Chiss lightning sorceror named Chokey S'murf, so there wasn't a whole lot of jiggling going on... Or how all the vowels in "Connecticut" are pronounced as "i" except for the actual "i"... To us locals...

So, right now, in SW: TOR, there's a festival event going on that includes a daily mission to participate in a dance... :rolleyes: My character was standing there doing a fairly stupid looking dance when one of the npcs walked right through my character, stopped immediately in front of them...

That's because all the major roads go through our major cities, which are modern marvels of Interstate inefficiency - giant intersections of raised highway built over the city below, with 17 damn exits within a half-mile stretch. And the rest of the main roads pre-date the Interstate system and...

Nickelback's only real crime was being merely an average-ish band when the music industry fame machine had to look around quick for their Next Big Thing, grabbed them by the collar, said, "We need somebody out there in that spotlight NOW! You're here, you'll do.", and threw them to the wolves...

This is either a hysterical geek-joke or an all-too-accurate commentary on how things work at my job...

How tall is that guy? I've got a couple of Pez dispensers I've been meaning to repaint to work on my faces...

Fun Fact: Snarf thought he was just writing a really long blog post right up until the online law school emailed him his diploma.

For me, my friends always ask me about things I wasn't there for, because they just assume that I was - I just have an excellent memory and recall the details of things from all the times they talked about it before, so when they say, "Wait, what was it somebody said when we did that thing that...

Vaguely-related fun fact: I'm mentioned in the commentary track on the dvd for the movie Shock Treatment (the "sequel" to Rocky Horror), due to my participation in the shadowcasting of the film at the various national Rocky Horror conventions... I'm like, almost almost-famous, lol.

FTFY I didn't think tv had been invented back then...

In my ever continuing quest to procrastinate on fighting the tide, I recently purchased this guy on EvilBuy... Shamrock Miniatures 80mm "The Priest"... If/when I ever get around to painting him, my version will definitely not look this good, lol.
