    Into the Halls of Sartor

    Thanks! If I find something that really works for me, I’ll buy duplicates for backups. Sometimes- depending on what it is- I’ll buy it in different colors. ESPECIALLY if I can catch it on sale. Not exaggerating: I literally have 2 tubs of clothes and maybe a dozen “backstock”shoeboxes in my...

    Into the Halls of Sartor

    I’m here in Dallas/Fort Worth. Attorneys in the eastern side of the Metroplex usually won’t appear in court any more western than a pair of cowboy boots. (Raises hand.) In the western side? Besides the boots, you WILL see cowboy hats, bolos and possibly even some vests and embossed leather...

    Olympics 2026 Thread

    I had an ACL/MCL repair surgery in my early 30s.* It was MONTHS before I could move my leg in any normal fashion. That she did what she did was impressive as hell. That was some Icarus level stuff. Besides, it wasn’t the leg damage that caused the crash- she got badly entangled in one of the...

    I cried a little when she crashed.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’ve seen it a couple of times- usually in the frozen veggies section- but it’s not something my family eats, so it’s not on my radar. But a quick search shows me different brands of frozen & canned succotash at physical and online groceries, and even one restaurant I’ve been to that serves it...

    Confession time, y’all. I like clothes, shoes, hats, jewelry, etc. By that, I mean the stuff people actually wear, from casual to getting all dressed up.* My personal style ranges from t-shirts & jeans to preppy to men’s formal to some pretty foppish & dandified outfits- including some custom...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Point of fact, tonight’s dinner was half of a chicken breast and some buttered California mix.* * broccoli, cauliflower & carrots.

    Which team will win Super Bowl LX?

    I actually appreciate defensive struggles. That dude in the Pat’s secondary put on a cape and kept his team in it for sooooo long.

    I’m going with (checking the final score) the Seahawks.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As bad as I had it, I was stunned watching news of Canadians suffering temps too low for their thermometers to register. They were talking about vehicles cracking their engines even though they were using bloc heaters. Up to that point, I thought even AVERAGE Canadians had the same kind of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    “Party at our house” (in D/FW) like that is kinda how we hosted family (mostly from NOLA) fleeing hurricanes. Usually, that was a 3 day thing. When one faked everyone out in 98, we had 30 people in our brand new house. Since it didn’t hit anywhere close to NOLA, the atmosphere was...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’ve personally lived through 4 notably bad winters. The least nasty one was when my folks had to do some renovations/repairs on the house, and we were down 2 of our 3 bathrooms. And THAT one had a hole in the ceiling and roof above the tub. So you’d be taking a shower in a column of 40degF...

    Methodology for effecient Sandbox creation?

    Not exactly what you’re describing, but my best campaign ever was essentially a sandbox. But I didn’t design it from the ground up. It was a supers game run in HERO, but using the Space:1889 campaign setting. But I didn’t simply use it as written. Instead, I added a bunch of thematically...

    Friday Worldbuilding Fun: Supers Appear in Different Eras and/or Settings

    A weird west American expansion era supers game could be good, assuming you don’t have high power levels. Gunslingers with super speed or super accuracy, John Henry dialed up to 11, a scaled down version of Paul Bunyan & Babe, would be just beyond the western’s traditional norms. And don’t...
