    Quirky Food Habits

    As an odd set of egg preferences, I like my scrambled eggs browned in fact (dry of course), but like a runny yolk on a fried egg to dip toast in. I also prefer old fashioned caesar salads using coddled eggs. buzzard

    Quirky Food Habits

    I'm not sure how many of you have seen them, but places that carry gag gifts like Spencers often have gimmicky ice cube thingys. For example I once bough my mother some golf ball ice cubes for Xmas (not the main gift of course). They are basically just plastic shells with water inside them that...

    History's most underrated inventions.

    You are mixing terms inappropriately. Yes, you did get it right when you talked about metallic oxides, but you should realize that it is possible to make a "glass" out of a non oxide metal as well. A glass is merely a state in which a material has an amorphic structure. There are no crystals...

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    Scenrario: Rude buffoon on bus happens to be IPSC competitor and carrying a double stack full sized 9mm with two spare mags. If he restrains his '2 to the chest, one to the head' inclination, that's 45 shots to distribute among, what did we say? 20 people? Well those twenty better tackle him in...

    Ransom for Retirement (El Jefe Judging)

    Lupics face tightens into what passes for concentration for him. "Hmm, what I need. Food good. We need food. Maybe get me sling or bow. Maybe big rock, or javeelin. The hoorsuns sometimes not want to get close to Lupic for some reason. Oh, if you not need me to smash, I good at scaring people...

    Best DC-area ski resort?

    Sounds like a heck of a trip. Though I think you can get better snow in the states (I skied the Alps for 3 years). If you are heading west, be sure to try Utah, they have the best snow I've ever skied. By far. Though as for eastern skiing, well I did live in Pittsburgh for quite some time and...

    Explain Harry Potter to me

    While it is true that in the early stories Harry is something of a limp dishrag, he does get better in the later books. The truth is that some people really don't want to do great deeds or save the world. Some just want to have a fairly normal, uneventful pleasant life. I think Harry in the...

    Thread Drinking Game

    Usually the goal in a drinking game is to get a good buzz, not alcohol poisoning. Do you think you could pick a more moderate pace, like every ten minutes or something? buzzard

    Ransom for Retirement (El Jefe Judging)

    OOC: Sorry, missed the link as well. Lupic looks a little perplexed, and really has no idea how to even begin solving such a problem. He will simply defer to the others until they tell him to attack. Uhh, I help find girl. Umm, how do I help? I can smash kidnapper if we find. Umm, how do I...

    Why do clerics charge for spells?

    Simple supply and demand. Healing spells are a limited resource. Charging for the casting in a way of allocating the resource is a rational manner. Now granted, you can certainly also have churches doing "good works" and healing the poor gratis, but for those of means, charging is just a way...

    Is D&D an entry level game?

    I'm one of the "It's entry level because most entered through it" camp. D&D is by far the most common and well known RPG. It is present at all conventions, and gaming stores very often host games. Now do I think it's simple enough for you to just buy the books and have an easy time from a...

    Quirky Food Habits

    Hmm, about the weirdest one I do is make sure the last bite of a meal is a piece of meat. So if I'm having a steak, veggies and potato (for example), I will balance out things eating some of each as I go along, but making sure the last bite is a piece of steak. I'm not exactly sure that's...

    City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VIII

    "Lupic not great storyteller. We go to village that bandits attack. We fight bandits. We talk to other bandits and they stop attacking. Other bandits not like to stop attack so we kill those. It was not hard. Lupic not do much of talking, he kill bandits." buzzard
