Personally I have to go with SR on this. People throwing away money on unwanted items is just stupid. The polite face that one has to put on about loving the gift, even if you loathe is it a farce. I'd rather get nothing from people than have to do the ritualistic polite lying that is...

Do we need to start an "Educate Morrus" fund? You know buy him the DVD collection or something? One should not be 'culturally' deprived like this. Or maybe one should. buzzard

One gets the feel that Malfoy is rather like Old Money or Aristocracy. They are certainly not poor, but there are definitely richer people. They just happen to have a lot of prestige. Given that it's England, I'd rather more expect Aristocracy. buzzard

Well you got most of those right, but the movie stars were making big bucks even back then. I remember watching one of those "Making Of" things that they stick in DVDs about a John Wayne flick, and the segment talked about how many millions he made for the movie. I suspect there were a lot of...

Hmm, so I drink one cup of tea a day and I'm still hosed?!? ARGHHH!!! Guess I need more tea. buzzard

Using your inflation adjusted figure Jed doesn't even make the top 400 richest Americans these days. I hate to break it to you, but he simply wasn't super rich. He'd have to have 900 million to get on that list. The simple truth is that there were a lot of people around in the 1960s with...

Excepting the afformentioned ice cream cakes which I am fond of (need to use cholocate ice cream to be worthwhile however), I'd go with chocolate cake without icing. Icing is merely an overly sweet waste of time and calories. A bunch of shortening mixed with sugar and maybe some chocolate...

Howard Huges had a billion dollars to his name during the 70s (possibly back in the 60s as well, but I know that Guiness used to peg him as having that much back in the 70s editions). Getty of Getty oil had a billion as well or so. Rockefeller had hundreds of millions at the turn of the century...

Well there is also R.J. Brande, the funder of the Legion of Super Heroes, who owns a planet of his own, and builds fusion power spheres for a living. Of course current continuity may have changed this some, I haven't read that title in ten years or so. Though I concur with disagreeing that...

I'm not sure it's micro management, but back when I did research at a US Steel site, I had to be proofed on such complicated equipment as screwdrivers to keep the lawyers happy. buzzard

"Oh, he supposed to light lamps? Oh, nevermind." buzzard

"Saw man lighting fires all over place. Figured he could be trouble. Followed him some, but he saw me following him so I stopped. What do you mean by lead?" Lupic will ask with his normal perplexed look. OOC: Feel free to ignore his comic relief. buzzard

I wonder if Krispy Kreme is an official sponsor? buzzard

Hmm, maybe I'll just go shooting for my Saturday afternoon instead of a movie. Never did even watch the series. buzzard

Well we have a 4th level dwarven axe wielder in the party. He uses a dwarven waraxe one handed. He has Str 16 and weapon spec. Thus his damage is 1d10+5. He is a sraight up fighter. buzzard

The theatre I prefer to frequent makes a point of having no commercials before the films. Though this is fairly true, they always have a Fandango commercial (which they don't count for some reason, I suspect they are part owners or something, it's an online ticket buying service) which is...

Come on people, I need some info and hype. I have a weekend and no movie to see. I am a blank slate in need of direction. Baaa baaa baaa. Don't make me think now. Nobody wants that. buzzard

I have a character in LG who is nuetral good. However is is only of good alignment because he sees that in the big fights affecting the world, you eventually do have to choose sides, and evil won't leave much of a world worth living in. Other than in matters of the big fight, he's not a...

As always YMMV, but such a character in a group in which I was playing would not last long. They would annoy me past my tolerance point pretty quickly and one of us would be gone one way or another. I play the game for fun, not to see someone show off their 'roleplaying talent' by running an...
