[QUOTE="babomb, post: 951073, member: 1316"] "A tree falls on the ___" or "At least a tree didn't fall on the ___" Once, our DM was trying to include more non-combat encounters. So he rolled a random encounter and decided that a tree had fallen across the path. Later, when we reached the town and ran into other problems trying to get passage on a ship, one of the players quiped, "At least a tree didn't fall on the docks." "A tree falls on the ___" is also used during boring activities. "I slash with a slash-like slashinism." One of the players actually used that to describe his attack, and we thought it was funny. "You guys NEVER ROLEPLAY!" Used for stupid arguements. At the beginning of one of our campaigns, several of the PCs were slaves. They escaped, then hid in a nearby forest and discussed what they should do next. The DM got mad that they were talking for a long time, so he said the slave drivers found them and attacked. When the players protested, he took all of his stuff and stormed out, yelling "You guys NEVER ROLEPLAY!" (Interesting that he says this after a big IC discussion, huh?) What's worse, he had to come back in because his car was blocked in the driveway.:D One of the other players took up being DM after that and we continued the campaign. "Nothing uneventful happens." The DM apparently wasn't sure whether to say "Nothing eventful happens," or "The night is uneventful." He mixed them together. "Cool nuts." The same DM meant to say the idiomatic phrase "Cool beans." Somehow, he got mixed up and said "Cool nuts." (Probably because some of us were eating walnuts.) "Paper trader" He said this instead of "perpetrator." "The choice of NASCAR" This was on a box of candy we bought for the game one time, and we thought it was funny. "This adventure is the choice of NASCAR!" [/QUOTE]
