I do too. Can I invest?

My wife knows, does not game, but is supportive of my hobby. She knows it makes me happy, so it is important to her for that reason.

I just wanted to say I had a great time at my first NC Game Day. Thanks to Rel for hosting the Friday night cookout. That was good bar-b-que! Thanks to Old One and everyone else for a very fun Grim Tales/BCCS morning game. I now officially hate scorpions of all sizes. Thanks to Rel and all...

I understand your push for the "collective effervescence" of the theatre experience. It is, indeed, part of what makes going to the movies so much fun. But, in my experience, the "collective" part of that often distracts from the immersion part you mentioned later: I want this to happen. I...

Okay, I am now officially caught up with the NC Game Day comings and goings. Sorry I have not piped up, but the past two weeks were unbelieveably busy. My wife and I were in South Carolina looking for a house and then I went to Montreal for work/school. Now I'm back and everything is printed...

Wasn't this song also/originally on Queen's "A Kind of Magic" aka the Highlander soundtrack?

Sorry to hear that. I'm about to move to very-near Charlotte, so if you move there we could get a game going. And I have no idea what the rest of you are talking about. :)

I think Umbran is right, in that the legal rigamarole (is that a word, even?) for having 100 partners each owning 1% of your store is probably nightmarish. Actually, that sounds like having stock in your store, which is different that being a partner and has its own issues. Instead of...

I am all about the bar-b-que. If you have to be in New Bern on Friday, then I'd be happy to have some for lunch on Saturday. Cheers to Rel, NC Gameday host extrordinaire!

Yep. I was doing some adjunct teaching for the philosophy department. I was staying over at my wife's (then girlfriend's) place, which was maybe four blocks from the site (on Foch St) and woke up at 5:30 AM to helecopters. I thought "that's wierd, you never hear helecopters like that in...

HOWDY! :) (does that answer your question?) I've talked about the Gold Standard of bar-b-que, but Freebirds is burrito perfection. I'm really glad they opened two up in Dallas, so we can go when we visit my in-laws. Every burrito place I eat from now, I end up saying, "It's okay, but not as...

Mutton! I am ashamed I forgot to mention bar-b-qued mutton in my previous post. The only place I have ever had it is in Owensboro, Kentucky. I was born there and my grandparents lived there for a long time. There are two resturaunts - Old Hickory and Moonlite. Both serve pulled (they call...

Yep, it's in Bryan. I loved their Chicken Fried Chicken with cream gravy, but never had a Deathburger. I'll have to try one next time I'm in Bryan/CS; my wife and I are trying to go back for a football game this fall. As for the Chili's/Red Robin debate, I find it's the opposite here. Red...

I have to weigh in here. I grew up in Northeastern South Carolina, fairly close to the NC state line. Pulled pork with a vinegar sauce is my bar-b-que standard, by which all others are measured. Radd Dew's Bar-B-Que (in Conway, South Carolina, my home town and about 15 miles from Mytle Beach)...

Congrats! Mage was always my favorite White Wolf/WoD product. I'm sure you'll contribute mightily!

I had not heard about the PDF's on the PSP, although the possibilty of an "iTunes" for movies is pretty cool. PLUG ALERT! My brother has started a website dealing with the PSP and relevant news: www.umdplanet.com I think it's a pretty good site, but I am biased. :)

I got 75 correct. And was ANNOYED I did not score higher. I stupidly missed the "What was Samir's problem with the fax machine?" question and forgot that Peter had 8 bosses. I'm embarrased. College = watching movies repeatedly, whenever bored and/or skipping class. If there was a "Dazed and...

I think your analysis is spot on, takryis, and it made me think about films v. graphic novels in a way I had not thought of before. I am viewing Sin City as an experiment -- an attempt to put a graphic novel on screen whole cloth. Not just tell the same story as faithfully as possible on...

We'll see if I can talk Cthulhu's Librarian into leaving early. And, just so I'm on topic, I never noticed the Bible references at Sonic. Odd.

die_kluge is considering a move to Raleigh. I am certainly moving to Rock Hill, South Carolina in July to be an assistant professor at Winthrop University. And I would certainly be interested in visiting Ole' Time Bar-B-Que when I come down for Game Day, or any other time for that matter. I...
