    Nutritional Information and Restaurants

    Yeah, none of the sites I went to list Fuddruckers. It's like all of their data is secret and requires high-level clearance. ;)

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Sister Jacqueline from "The Flying Nun," of course! But my favorite credit of hers is: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) (VG) (voice) .... Pedestrian She's still workin'! I guess Tucker Inn didn't quite set her up for retirement.

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Wow. We already know that Jeremy Irons + dragons = bad. Can this be even worse?

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Actually, it's a customer in a (what else?) Chinese-run laundry who is snarky. The man (played by Brian Tochi of Razzmatazz "fame") does the whole "ancient Chinese secret" thing. The wife blows the lid off the entire scam with her cheerful, "We need more Calgon!" And then the customer is...

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    OK, Buzz, you still haven't added me for Breakfast. :( Careful, or I'll run Synnibarr! :eek: :] :p I know, I know, signing up for breakfast doesn't really matter. But it's a more entertaining way to bump the thread.....

    Nutritional Information and Restaurants

    Does anyone know what the rules/laws are about restaurants providing nutritional information in the U.S.? I thought there a law requiring restaurants to give nutritional information upon request. Was I just hallucinating? ;)

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    I wonder how many people even get the reference. Mark, should I stop by Tucker Inn to get some desserts for the gameday? :p

    Is Ptolus living up to the hype?

    How is reading a large book chapter by chapter any different from reading several smaller books? (Except for the muscle ache as you hold the larger tome, of course!)

    Quintessential but obscure 80s movies...?

    Night of the Comet Eating Raoul (both start Robert Beltran, who is more well known for playing Chakotay on Star Trek: Voyager) Rock 'n' Roll High School (technically 1979) Scanners And a couple of movies I saw at a drive-in in 1981 or so: Eager Beavers (I looked it up on the IMDB. It came...

    SPOILER WARNING: A thread about the Harry Potter books

    Sending your children off to school is, apparently, much more common in Great Britain than here in the U.S. Just a cultural difference that (1) doesn't let characters run to Mum and Dad every time something goes wrong, and (2) gets Harry away from the Dursleys. As for letting House Slytherin...

    Star Wars D20 - need to make a character

    Thanks for all the input. We're starting up the Star Wars campaign on Thursday, and I have finally decided to play a Rodian Fringer. The game is set a few years after "Return of the Jedi"--we've got a human solider and a Twilek Soundrel/Noble. A fourth player may join after a few sessions; he...

    It's Banned Books Week

    They are. A lot of banning is at a very localized level. For example, a school board decides to pull a book from all school libraries in their district. So the book is banned (in those schools), but not nation-wide.

    What do you use for naval combat/ship-to-ship action?

    Here's some ideas, but don't be constrained. Just my quick thoughts: I have a human druid in LG that doesn't have a figure yet. He's Suel with gray eyes and blonde hair. I use a rakshasa D&D mini for him. I am starting a Star Wars game on Thursday, and I don't even have a character concept...

    What do you use for naval combat/ship-to-ship action?

    Sure! If The_Universe doesn't want them, they're yours! For you, Mark, the cost is a painted mini. Your choice of mini and paint job--but since I totally suck at painting, I'm raising the cost for you! :p

    <not the adventure> Burn down the town

    My brother ran a solo campaign for me way back when (1981, I think). One of the few things I remember was a town filled with undead. The iron gates were locked. Call Lightning, while safely outside the gate, earned my PC a lot of xp for very little risk--as well as angry stares from my brother.

    What do you use for naval combat/ship-to-ship action?

    I've got all four Mongoose books (Seas of Blood, Ships of the Elves, Ships of the Goblinoids, and Ships of War) if you want them. I've never used them, so you can have them for, uh, well, buy me a drink at GenCon next year and they're yours now.

    Smallville Preimere: Season 6--9/28/06

    Then I'd better hurry up and finish watching season 5 so I can start on season 6. I think I know what I'm doing all weekend long (I've got about 18 episode left to watch of season 5).

    This is a little embarassing, but I need to get this off my chest...

    You had to ask? You know me well. All I will say is, check out my location. ;)

    Listen, bub, you'll be lucky to get a bag of Sta-Puff marshmellows from me!

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Just for that, you get four hours of me (poorly) imitating Bill Murray! :mad: :p
