[QUOTE="Mixmaster, post: 79316, member: 472"] LOL! ROTFLMAO!!!!! :wipes tears: That post from Jax has to be one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. I love it when I heard an Eddie Izzard reference. :D But seriously: On a couple of those issues this would have been the conversation: DM: There's no undead. PC: I'm an Undead Slayer.
