Seriously. I started playing D&D when I was 8 (it's been 20 years, holy crap!), and now I'm in a weekly Exalted game, and *I* think these guys need lives.

These guys don't want to admit that they're basically D&D nerds, just more boring.

His fictional grave?

... this gets kind of expensive. No matter how long you live, life is too short for cheap booze and do you know how much a bottle of the Balvenie PortWood costs?

Lucky charms aren't as bad for you as they seem. They have less sugar in them than raisin bran. The only reason they taste so sweet is because they don't taste like anything else.

I feel down the stairs this morning, which would usually be bad enough, except I have screwed up nerves in my wrists and of course I caught myself reflexively as I fell.
