Thanks; I really don't feel like being dogpiled by bouncing checks; what do you think would be a good way to get fired from Target? I need to be fired to be able to file for unemployment, which I'm gonna do so I can have days free to go jobhunting, and also as unemployment never screwed me out of money(I don't think this is the first time Target's done it to me, I just think it's the first time they've been this brazen about it; this is over 14 personal hours they didn't pay me for!)

Welcome back to the Hive HellHound, it's been a while. And Congrat's, you post here has moved you up to being tomorrow's "Hiver of the Day", so Saturday's reading will be from selection E. Today's reading is still open to be drawn from the other three topics. Preferences?

Yeah, it has been a while.

Pesky "end of semester" projects and assignments... and those final exam things.

Now I'm deep in layout, coming up for air now and then to post here.

All this digging through old games has me wishing for a chance to run a single game or two of each over a week or two like I used to do in the old days.

A few one-shots... Top Secret 1st edition, Boot Hill, Gangbusters, Star Frontiers...

As to getting fired by Target,
I had a freind who was fired from Target because he gave the bird to his walkie talkie in the parking lot. He was annoyed that the walkie talkie had died again, it was like the 3rd time it happened.
Apparently a "guest" saw him and told the management and he got fired. It was before his first 90 days so they can basically fire you for anyreason.

A good way to get fired is to mouth off to a really hard ass manager with a bad temper....

But unemployment is probably not going to get you money before your checks bounce......Have you talked to your folks? Another way to get money is to go to a cash advance service.... the fee's are not really that bad, and they can usually loan the money until your next check. Its better to spend 30 dollars now to avoid paying 80+dollars in bounced checks.....not to mention it will give you extra time to raise the money!

How is everyone else doing..?

All this digging through old games....Boot Hill

YEAH! BOOT HILL!

Seriously, in fall 2002 I ran a 5-game Boot Hill/AD&D Hybrid game. Basically D&D races, classes and religions super-imposed into the 1881 Boot Hill setting. I've used the D&D combat rules except for firearms, where I've relyed on Boot Hill rules. For the campaign itself I've used the original TSR Boot Hill module #B2, which details the town of Promise City, Arizona. It's worked great, and we did a 3-game follow-up last summer. The modules are logged as the following Story Hour thread:

So far they have had encounters with Geronomo, James West, Artimis Gordon, Jesse James and Billy the Kid. Next month I'm planning our next installment, "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral". If you read the story please feel free to comment, as feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, Drew. And BTW, there won't be work tomorrow, sorry.

HOWEVER!...my dad's always looking for someone do do his *insert non-grandma-friendly word* work for him on the jobsite. If you are willing to work yourself to death each day, you might want to ask him about it.

And with that, I am off to go to the movies with some friends I haven't seen in half a year. AWAY!

Good Evening Hive!

You know, suddenly nothing can go wrong. Oh, life has had its bad turns lately, and nothing is quite the way I wanted it to be, but you know... Its great. Life is life.

For tonight's Hivemind Dramatic Reading, as it concerns a Disney Product, you are to read the following as though you were hearing your favorite Disney character reciting it:


Euro Disney
"My biggest fear is that we will be too successful," said an unnamed Disney executive upon the original conception of the Euro Disney theme park. Set on a sprawiling 5,000 acres 20 miles east of Paris, it was planned to include six hotels with 5,200 room. Tokyo Disneyland had been a complete success so it was assumed that this would be as well.

Opened during the midst of a severe recession in April 1992, the visitors were meager. Furthermore, they brought their own lunches and shunned the Disney lodgings. Hotel occupancy was soon less than 50%, and the length of the visits shortened. The policy of serving no alcohol in a country where wine is the customary beverage for lunch and dinner did not help matters. The need to lay off people during slow periods soon ran counter to French labor laws. At the end of the park's first year they had lost almost $ 1 Billion."
