    How many game books on your shelf have you never used?

    We've already got one--Share The Love! :uhoh: I certainly don't use all of them (1000+) right now; I do read them (though there are probably some whose spines won't be cracked for a good long time). I'm one of them thar librarians.

    Tis the season for repeat movies

    Back before NBC bought the exclusive rights to "It's a Wonderful Life" (and every TV station from here to eternity could and did show it at will), some friends of mine and I would stage a yearly contest: the one fool who could somehow catch the film the most times won a case of beer, from the...

    Favorite scenes from cartoons? [spoilers]

    One scene that always makes me laugh: a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Yosemite Sam is chasing him around a pirate ship; Bugs gets into the crow's nest and offers to jump down, but instead pushes an anvil (naturally) over the edge. Sam catches it, and the boat immediately sinks. I'll never get tired...

    How old is our gaming population of EN World?

    I can't remember when I actually voted on this poll, but I did just turn 35 today.

    My Big Beef With the LOTR movies

    Well, I'm sure the only "givens" will be: A) the 2 Jackson children as "Cute Lake-town Children" (or "Extremely Young and Yet Cute Hobbit Children Again"); B) the Woses come to the Dwarves' aid at the Battle of Five Armies; and C) once Thorin's done negotiating Bilbo's contract, he goes into a...

    Your playlist

    Well, I'm not at work, so I'm listening to CD(Blood & Chocolate by Elvis Costello & the Attractions) though at work my playlist is thoroughly mired in the 80s--with the exceptions of, say, Lard, Xorcist, and the like. Maybe in 6 years or so, I'll be sweatin' to the '00s.

    how have you amassed your D&D mini collection?

    Lots and lots and lots of money. Cases off eBay (using many of the sites listed above as guides and actually paying less, but spending centuries researching & bidding), singles off eBay, and most recently, a complete set via d20books.com (where I'll be going for Death Knell). I can only wonder...

    Help me remember this animated Christmas story

    Was the "knife" really one of those (oh-so-evil-back-then) switchblade combs? I'm also remembering one of the aliens repeatedly saying, "I am fine." Wait...is it this? Either that or somebody get me another carton of that same nog.

    What is the best "bad" ending you've seen/read? [Spoilers abound]

    I'm guessing... "Lady, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store."

    Worst Beers Ever.

    Ah, brings me back to my ancient college days at Johns Hopkins...where Natty Bo held court with other distinguished potables like Piehl's, Genessee Cream Ale, Natural Light, Keystone, Black Label, & Milwaukee's Best, amidst a gaggle of fine courtiers like Colt 45, Turbo, Schlitz, and...

    Speilberg beaten on War of the Worlds

    Agreed. I have to admit, I couldn't stand Tom Cruise for most of his career; when I heard he'd gotten the Lestat role for Interview With The Vampire, I ranted, groaned, & kvetched. Then I watched his performance & couldn't complain. I'm still not a big fan of his, but he may very well have the...

    Anyone else here into bizarre cult movies?

    A couple of already-mentioned titles (Repo Man, Lair of the White Worm, Night Breed), plus a few more: Putney Swope (subversive and funny); The Man Who Fell to Earth (weirdness & humor); Village of the Damned (sci-fi/horror with a high scare factor-to-budget ratio); The City of Lost Children...

    Non-gaming Gamers

    I haven't played in years. Fortunately, I live in a town with a LOT of gamers--hooking up with a group wouldn't be a problem if my work schedule (and girlfriend) didn't take up so much of my time. I'm still amassing a huge collection of books, systems, miniatures, etc. in the hope that...
