That’s when you show them your brown pants. …regardless of the color they were when you entered the room.

As a cellist, I also have to point out the violin octet family, which is closely related to the violin family…but ain’t quite the same. And then there’s the Hardanger fiddle…

The best bang for the buck show I ever saw was paying $10 to see Swervedriver opening with Machine Head, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden following (in that order). It was magical and memorable for many reasons: 1) the price for that lineup, obviously 2) the venue (now demolished) was a converted...

(Emphasis mine.) JEALOUS!

The biggest band I’ve ever seen at a truly small venue was BÖC at a club show…in Austin in the 1990s! It only went partially as expected. The opening act was local thrillers, Black Pearl, followed by Houston’s Galactic Cowboys- fresh off of signing a major label record deal. Black Pearl...

Diwali was the holiday! Thank you! I simply couldn’t recall the name.

Whoah! 😱

Somewhere around here, I have a New Orleans Saints “team cookbook” from the 1980s. Apparently, everyone on the team was expected to contribute a recipe of some kind. And in its pages, the field goal/PAT kicker*, the punter, and a third guy (probably the long snapper) teamed up to present their...

Gotta say that American culture is getting more globalized over time. While it’s true we’re not seeing ALL of the world’s holidays celebrated here, more of them are. Especially the religious ones. For example, for the first time EVER in my little suburb of Dallas, we could hear the sounds of...

Now I’m imagining your survival and the subsequent call. “Wait times are higher than average. Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line.” hold music plays Someone nearby, “You’re getting signal?”

Our high level party was going through Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Because we had a small gaming group at the time, each player controlled multiple PCs, and one of mine had a ring of spell storing containing a single maximized Delayed Blast Fireball. (He was not a wizard.) In our first...

Every time I see the term ASMR, I think about creating a pantheon of Asmrdians.

Then there was The Battle of the Brutal Slaughter of the Harpies which happened early in a campaign:

2Ed, original Dark Sun setting. I was part of a duo, playing a dwarf. His Con was maxed. At one point, our team is taking on a moderate threat who drops an AoE poisonous gas spell. My Dwarf fearlessly charged the enemy, since he only got affected by hostile magic on a 1. I roll a 1. So...

Revisiting this thread because it got bumped: Other than that, Bartley from Dogma. On a certain level, it seemed as if he was playing himself…

There’s a growing number of halal groceries here in D/FW, but we’re evolving into a community of foodies. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to find an online food delivery service that does halal meats. Might be pricey, but if it’s only for special occasions…🤷🏾‍♂️
