I'd rather be bored at work--Dieter the Bold 20:58, 4 April 2007 (MST), like it's a chore than gored at work by a wild boar

I'd rather be twiddling my thumbs in ennui than stabbed to death by republicans "freedom isn't free"

Honestly, I supoose it's a good way The mind rots while we collect our pay

It's just, I'd like a bentley or something if I'm gonna be this goddamn bored

--BenofZongo 17:23, 20 March 2007 (MST)Seriously...except I'm not bored, I'm just sick of the shit I have to do right now.

--Dieter the Bold 18:38, 20 March 2007 (MST) Fun for work: 1 and 2

--Gdaze-- I'm tired... and my fucking gums are infected and I have to have my fucking wisdom teeth removed, and I want to sleep. Do any of you see how long you can have your dick outta your fly while your at work?

--Edmiao 14:23, 22 March 2007 (MST) my record is 25 minutes before i got nervous and had to zip it up. Have you ever been caught? and what's your record?

--Matts 02:37, 24 March 2007 (MST)Oh, Messieur

--Gdaze 16:22, 26 March 2007 (MST)Hahaha, check out this, I know our group would LOVE it! http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Largest-Dungeon-Alderac-Entertainment/dp/1594720290/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-9177017-5232603?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174950620&sr=8-1

--Gdaze 14:16, 2 April 2007 (MST) So like... none of us have any work to do? Haha, I don't due to us moving to a new system.

--BenofZongo 14:18, 2 April 2007 (MST)I seem to have closed the door to my incubator wrong, so that the ~160 million cells I was going to use for an experiment today are all dead. all of them. So now all I can do is work on a grant. I could scream.

--Jason 14:25, 2 April 2007 (MST)I have to try and figure out how to tell one of the programmers that he sprays way too much air freshener when he leaves the bathroom and its bothering everyone. What makes this so difficult is not only have I already talked to him about it once before, but the customer service girls put a note on the bottle that says 'please only spray me one time'. I dont understand what else to do. So Ill take your grantwriting any day of the week!

--Gdaze 14:36, 2 April 2007 (MST) HAHAHA! Like what is he trying to hide? Clearly his shit stinks. Mwuhahaha. I say you use a pressance attack on his ass.

--Jason 14:47, 2 April 2007 (MST)I only have a 13 PRE, I dont think 2 1/2 D6 will accomplish much. I need an excellent soliloquy so I can get some bonus dice.

--Matts 15:31, 2 April 2007 (MST)Comrade Stinkus, I prithee, lend me thine ear for but a moment.

I have a vision of a world, and I must bring to your mind a piece of it.

This world, this Fantasy, is dominated by air fresh as how God himself made it; free of additives or preservatives, it carries upon it eddies of circumstance, the pure drama of the unexpected. In its myriad progressions, we may see unfold designs of intentions not our own, and admire these things in nature, these fragile crystals of time untouched by the cruel hand of Man.

I have now a revelation to share with you: this world is indeed our world, but one may only catch it in small glimpses: the snow atop a deserted mountain, or the relentlessness of the waves against a sandy beach, or the graceful whorl of air following water as a toilet is flushed. However, we foolish mortals know not that with our every action we shatter this beauty, we befoul the innumerate mysterious mathematics that inform beauty. But one spray of air fresheners pollutes this volatile equation, introduces inequalities such that feeble natural mechanisms are incapable of compensation. In place of a delicate snowflake of natural odor, we put a gigantic concrete-and-steel skyscraper of artifice, of odor *elimination*, leaving behind only the trampled flat remains of what took an eternity to build.

Comrade, with but a little moderation, this hideous fate could be reversed.

--Jason 15:32, 2 April 2007 (MST)I must submit to your genius, yet again.

--Edmiao 18:30, 2 April 2007 (MST) Quoth the Bard "whoa"

--Dieter the Bold 20:58, 4 April 2007 (MST) For my Firefly peeps. My favorite is the shopping list.

--Dieter the Bold 17:00, 9 April 2007 (MST) The most awesome politician ever

--Jason 14:39, 10 April 2007 (MST)http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/fakemillion3.html)http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/fakemillion3.html Is this Gabe's mom?

--Edmiao 21:53, 22 April 2007 (MST) both awesome. but can't beat the original manamana

--Dieter the Bold 19:03, 24 April 2007 (MST) The robots at work

--Gdaze 12:11, 25 April 2007 (MST) I can't believe it is only Wednesday... I keep hoping and thinking tomorrow is Friday...

--Edmiao 14:34, 25 April 2007 (MST) ditto

--Jason 14:45, 25 April 2007 (MST)I say we advocate the 1 day work week.

--Edmiao 15:08, 25 April 2007 (MST) Second. All in favor say "Aye"

[1] Look at the will farrell sketch entitled "the landlord". hilarious.

--Justin 16:37, 29 April 2007 (MST) Was recently bored at work. Now am bored at home. How are y'all peoples doin'? I am hoping to come visit sometime in June when things slow down here. Is everyone well? Jason, did I hear correctly that you have moved? Anything else new and exciting? How about old and boring? (besides Gabe's mom.) I am going to be running a WHFRP game in about a month and I might need some background help and/or a sounding board for ideas so I will be writing more soon. Later pukes.

--Dieter the Bold 17:06, 29 April 2007 (MST) It's Justin, yay!! So, I have to issue warnings about this: If you fear spiders, do not watch this clip. If you similarly fear robots, please don't watch this. This goes double if you fear robot-spiders

Ben here: Justin! Come join our space opera game! It has a volcano! And Space Vikings! That fight space nazis! I'd love to chat about background for a fantasy game. Nothing new and exciting here, but I'm doing well.

--Jason 11:47, 30 April 2007 (MST)Nope, I havent moved. Im not gaming anymore though. I might start again later, but am still as yet undecided. Are you sick of Spokane yet? Im sick of it and Ive never even been there.

--Edmiao 12:59, 30 April 2007 (MST) Good to hear from you Justin! now get your ass back here.

--67.40.199.102 09:18, 1 May 2007 (MST) justin and jason: news flash. Deiter the Bold is now Deiter the Bald of Chin. (ie shaved his beard off). it really messed up our last session because everyone kept staring at him in disbelief

--Jason 11:55, 1 May 2007 (MST)Did he get a job or something? What a sellout.

--Matts 13:33, 1 May 2007 (MST)No, no, it's just that your mom's beard trimmer worked as advertised!

--Matts 10:03, 4 May 2007 (MST)Speaking of beards, go look at Baron Davis' beard! That thing had power! Warriors OMG

--Dieter the Bold 19:43, 16 May 2007 (MST) Some days this is my general feeling

--Dieter the Bold 15:54, 22 May 2007 (MST) A couple fun links: the real rumble in the jungle (it's not over when you think it is, ~15 minutes, but the first 10 are so worth it). and church music which makes me feel quite safe and satisfied in my decision to be an atheist.

--Gdaze 11:44, 24 May 2007 (MST) Dear lord... I am so fucking bored... the only thing getting me through this week is knowing there is gaming tomorrow and a 3 day weekend. I need to see if I can install hero creator on this machine without the IT department finding out.

--Jason 11:53, 24 May 2007 (MST)Hero creator is a java app and doesnt need to be installed. You should be able to copy it from the cd, or even run it from the cd.

--Gdaze 15:21, 24 May 2007 (MST) Oh right... Then maybe that is just what I'll do! At least that way I can do something besides staring at news sites all day and beating off cause both of Matt's mom's arms are broken due to me riding like a bobsled down the stairs.

--Dieter the Bold 23:03, 3 June 2007 (MST) A cat far too intelligent for its own good.

--Gdaze 20:44, 6 June 2007 (MST) http://youtube.com/watch?v=dHIMJVD9LSA&mode=related&search=

--Gdaze -- http://www.amazon.com/JL421-Badonkadonk-Land-Cruiser-Tank/dp/B00067F1CE/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-6354624-9562824?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1181666620&sr=8-1

Read the "reviews" of this tank offered on Amazon. The last one almost had me falling out of my seat.

--Justin 11:49, 18 June 2007 (MST) Howdy boyz! How's life? Sorry about not staying in touch recently. Been pretty busy with work and shit. So, I am starting up a WHFRP game after the Fourth. 9 players...yes, I said 9 players. It actually started out as 7 but two significant others wanted to play as well. Oh, well. It will be interesting. We are playing the system and universe as it is in the books with only a few minor adjustments to the rules (a few of the combat rules need some tweeking). Being an easy system to play I think 9 players might work out alright.

--Justin 12:00, 18 June 2007 (MST) I might be hitting some of you up for information and ideas soon. This game is going to see them all accepting a job by a very wealthy Marienburg merchant family head to investigate a village that was recently decimated by what seems to be a band of beastmen. The Empire seems to be doing nothing about it. They sent out some investigators to two previous attacks, who said "yep, it was beastmen" and said that the empire would increase patrols, of which they haven't. This wealthy merchant seems to be taking this upon himself to find out what's happening and try to take care of it by hiring mercenaries. And the merry chase begins... I am still trying to work out the villian/s. I can't decide which way I want it to go yet. If anyone has any thoughts on this let me know.

--Justin 12:06, 18 June 2007 (MST) So what's everyone been up to? No one getting married yet? No one's converted to Mormonism or Satanism (one of which can be confused for hte other)? I hope everyone is well and healthy. I am planning to come visit a few times this summer as I do not work on Fridays until school starts up in Sept. I am not sure when yet but probably late July.

Ben: Justin! Good to hear from you! DOn't come in Late July, (I will be gone early august, possibly also the last weekend in July (I can confirm that shortly), cause I want to be around when you visit. No weddings/funerals, unless you count the general common law marriage of most of the group with Gabe's mom. Our space opera game is going, i would say, pretty well, it's been fun to GM and the group is starting to get quite interesting. We've added a new player with many years of whfrp experience, so he may actually be quite a good resource for you. I'm happy to discuss your game with you: what kind of ideas are you looking for? We will probably start some short campaigns of call of cthulhu and a space marine game that will alternate with Gemini, and I think any of those will be very accomodating to you being a guest player. 9 players sounds pretty intense, but you should be able to make it work: just don't expect to get too much done each session.

--Edmiao 17:57, 20 June 2007 (MST) I converted to Mormonism, then became unwell and not healthy, then I converted to Satanism, wed a succubus, and now I am feeling much better. Thanks for askin'.

he's talking about the common law marriage to Gabe's mom. It was so traumatic for him, he succumbed to the bottle and now he's hallucinating that she's a SKINNY demon.

--Justin 23:11, 20 June 2007 (MST) Ed, are you talking about your wife!?! Man you are mean. Does she know you call her a succubus?

--Edmiao 08:40, 21 June 2007 (MST) no. and don't tell, for christ sake!

--Edmiao 12:08, 24 June 2007 (MST) Yo Momma loved Robot Chicken Star Wars

Ben here: I was wrong about the 25th...I'm gone from the evening of the 2nd of August through probably the 12th or 13th. So Justin, come visit any other time.

--Dieter the Bold 13:59, 4 July 2007 (MST) Cliff Notes for rap music

--Gdaze 19:19, 10 July 2007 (MDT) I have just purchased the single most bestest RPG book evar. Here is an example of a skill in it:
Metagame (Int)
A character with this skill can, as a free action, spend the equivalent of a minute or two debating and philosophizing on the intricacies of the rules of nature, the systematic way in which his or her life is being controlled by randomness, and the likelihood of what might happen if...

Check: A successful Metagame check is opposed by the referee's metagame roll (rolled secretly by the referee). If the metagamer succeeds in the check, he may pontificate for a number of minutes equal to the number by which he exceeded the referee's roll. During this time he may compalin as desired, argue agains tthe GM's rulings, deride the premise of the scenario or even the campaign itself, complain about food the GM has served the players, and otherwise erode good order and a spirit of sportsmanship in the game.
Examples:
Character wants to examine unknown runes in the midst of combat. Referee wins roll: character fails.
Character wants to use as-yet undiscovered science of physics to justify action. Referee wins roll: character fails.
Character want sto logically decude presence of secret door, even though he or she is not able to find it using Search skill. Referee wins roll: character fails.
This is of course a supplment to D&D. The random brothel and prostitute table has got to be one of my favs.

Dieter: Ya'll may have seen this before, but WTF!.

--Edmiao 17:22, 25 July 2007 (MST) OMFG

--Matts 13:37, 28 July 2007 (MST)Kanye West video

--Dieter the Bold 10:18, 1 August 2007 (MST) One of the more awesome and entertaining links I've come across recently red shirt

--Dieter the Bold 19:02, 8 August 2007 (MST) Although ya'll have probably seen 130 cats and a smart ass. I can see Matt or Jason doing the second.

--Dieter the Bold 22:49, 9 August 2007 (MST) I know you've all probably seen these and I'm posting way too often here, but: a movie I'd pay good money to see, and just a little bit o' the nifty.

--Justin 14:14, 10 August 2007 (MST) So what's up y'all? I will be in town staying at Jason's on Sunday thru Tuesday morning. Does anyone want to get together and do something Sunday? Maybe a oneshot or something? Or whatever.

--Jason 14:16, 10 August 2007 (MST)See the Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! page for details and comments.

--Jason 17:14, 15 August 2007 (MST)Another age old question one step closer to an answer. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070809130014.htm

--Gdaze 17:53, 15 August 2007 (MST)Sweet.

--Gdaze -- CoruptusGabeapensusphobia: Fear of being corrupted by Gabe's total lack of morals.

--Edmiao 20:38, 22 August 2007 (MST) Gabe, with your lego collection, i think you could actually pull this off. Here's a site with instructions for any lego set [3]. and cross reference set numbers with [4]. do you have the 18 pounds of legos it takes to build an ultimate star destroyer? only one way to find out.

--Gdaze -- Whoa cool site, I'll have to check this one out. See the thing is I have a lot of legos, but not a lot of any certain piece or type of piece so I often find myself running out of what I need.

--Edmiao 10:13, 29 August 2007 (MST) Miss South Carolina says... [5]

Kitlers...[6]

--Gdaze 07:28, 6 September 2007 (MST) So I actually just watched that South Carolina thing... WOW. Ah I've seen that kitler site, it rocks.

--Edmiao 08:10, 6 September 2007 (MST)She makes me proud to be a US American. “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”

--Gdaze-- http://q-workshop.com/main.php?lang=EN&sell_type=DETAL&currency=EUR Oh yay baby, totally good investment!

--Gdaze-- This is a kinda weird system... suppose to be a combination of Cyberpunk 2020/mechton & Hero system.

http://www.talsorian.com/software/fuzion.pdf
But like... EVERYTHING is points. Weird.

--Edmiao 14:33, 3 October 2007 (MST) here's some photos from my trip to Fiji. [7]

--Gdaze-- What kinda camra do you have? Those underwater shots are great.

--Edmiao 16:44, 3 October 2007 (MST) canon powershot S50. its a 5 megapixel dealy-o with a waterproof case, nothing special. these are the best of 600+ pictures i took. there was one guy there who had a nice SLR with two indirect flashes that hung off the sides. it really put my pictures to shame.

--67.170.55.35 12:39, 5 October 2007 (MST)What are those two favorite comedy powers we always talk about? I remember 8- Survival, usable as attack. Whats the other?

BEN: simulate death, usable as attack.

--Gdaze-- Oh man... classic.

--Jason 13:33, 5 October 2007 (MST)Throw in incantations and area effect or megascale and: SLEEPYTIME!

BEN: another good one was like a 1D6 energy blast, usable by others with like a 90 pt. side effect, then you mind control enemies to use it.

--Edmiao 14:27, 5 October 2007 (MST)gonna make an exemplars adversary with one of these for us? that would be rad.

--Jason 16:23, 5 October 2007 (MST)I wouldnt do that. Its for a thread on the hero boards.

--Edmiao 23:11, 23 October 2007 (MST) my brother-in-law sent this to me. the Zeusophone, apparently a telsa coil that makes music with electric discharges (aka lightining). see the video and the explanation

--Dieter the Bold 11:52, 29 October 2007 (MST) One of the funniest gamer comics since I found Order of the Stick. So true.

--Edmiao 14:01, 29 October 2007 (MST) i have the order of the stick board game. it kind of sucks imho. likely because i never read the comic and had no nostalgia factor for the game. my brother in law gave it to us for a present

--Edmiao 22:53, 30 October 2007 (MST) oh Dieter, I just looked at the DM of the rings thing you posted. man, hillarious. I like part IV. My two favorite quotes "Remember, nothing will spice up your campaign quicker than long descriptions of NPC’s doing spectacular stuff while the players sit around and watch." and "Remember: That which does not kill you was simply not permitted to do so for the purposes of the plot."

--Gdaze-- Hahaha, I totally missed those ones. I love the first line the most.

--Gdaze-- http://www.theonion.com/content/news/it_only_tuesday This is just GREAT.

--Edmiao 20:39, 12 November 2007 (MST) This explains a lot about Gabe's mom

--Justin 20:42, 28 November 2007 (MST) Howdy y'all. It looks like I might be coming to the west side to do some work during Christmas break, but I should have some time hang out, game, whatever. Probably around 12/7 thru 12/15 or as late as 12/18. How is everyone?

--Edmiao 10:21, 29 November 2007 (MST) Hey Justin! good to hear from you. Come up on the 7th and catch the second session of our new exemplars game!

--Edmiao 14:38, 13 December 2007 (MST) OMFG. I have not laughed this hard for a long time, you have to read the comments that people post at the bottom. How to turn your pee blue.

GABE:

JASON: [10] very interesting. WARNING: Long and sciency.

GABE: Man, those comments hurt my head.

Gabe: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/academic/ Freaking AWESOME. I want this kinda of stuff... now. I want my floating computer screen coming out of my watch.

GABE: HILARY: No! No, it's not cool! Every time you bring one of your rodeo-queen girlfriends in here she ends up playing some succubus infiltrator and killing the whole party!

That line is great, that last part is just awesome.
