In our area, it’s not anti-vax or organic types, it’s the conservative Christians who push the Trunk or Treats—most of them are held at churches.

Mishaps do still happen on occasion, especially if the crossing is poorly set up. They’ve been working for decades on getting rid of the bad crossings, but I could believe there are still some out there. (Lost a grandfather to a bad crossing, though it was decades before I was born.)

“Must flee TV.”

Which is something I’ve had happen, almost: show up at the final and “I just wanted to get you to study, I’m not actually going to make you take a test.” We never quite decided if it was just a case of their not wanting to go to the trouble of writing and grading a test or what.

They’re good dads nathen

Utterly irrelevant to the meaning of the event, but I have always loved the fakeouts Ellen did in the lead-up to the episode, saying things like “I have an announcement—I am actually Lebanese. No, sorry, I’ve realized I’m actually basketball player Len Bias.”

“I mean grown-ass professional women.”

It’s been a long time. Of course, it’s been a long time since I had dinner with *anyone* outside my family, it’s just not something I do. Out of town friends visiting, maybe, but that usually is a bigger deal with all the still-in-town folks who knew them.

I’m assuming a typo for George Hendrick, the player who wanted to see Reggie get beaten up.

They make $20 selling someone a token for $15 of game credits. They would love to see huge portions of their base playing for “free” because they’re making an extra $5 profit every time that happens.

It's over at Thrillist now. The spam I get from them is the price I pay for going to read it once a week.

Yeah, similar situation here, but with extremely limited playtime. So far I've gotten the artifact for my Retadin, Frost Knight, and Furrior. I've got 100s for every class, so I'm going to be at this for a while. Note: Do Warrior! It's always been one of my least favorite classes, but their hall has to be seen,…

I take it there was no other random mobs in the area to loot and thereby get area looting. Sounds like time for the old keybound "interact" command—I've got that one permanently keybound for all the times something is just really awkwardly placed.

Personal rankings? Sure, why not. VBCWrath>=MoP>WoD>Cata. (I started playing *just* before Wrath dropped, so Vanilla and BC get lumped in with it.) Wrath will always have a special place for me for that reason, but I enjoyed MoP almost as much. Heck, though, I had fun even in Cataclysm, my least favorite expansion.…

My experience has been that (normal) PVP is disabled in these zones—if I accidentally target a flagged player, I just get a message that that isn't allowed in a PvP-blocked zone. Now there are some boss abilities that turn some players "red" and officially hostile to all the regular players, but that's independent of…

Are AoEs still effective? If I *try* to attack a flagged player from the other faction (by accident, since targeting is a pain in such a mass), I get a message telling me that I can’t do that in a no-PvP zone. I’ve certainly used a lot of AoE while there were flagged players around and never gotten flagged from it (I…

Yeah, that's part of it, I'd say, with different people using it in different ways. Most people seem to use it as either "I'm going to stay calm about this even though it's obviously not okay" or "This person I'm replying to is acting as though everything's fine when it clearly isn't." It's not *hilarious* or…

Okay, the others like this have amused me, but this is genius.

I’m a bit too old to have gotten in on the first wave of Pokémon. My youngest, on the other hand, loves it, so I downloaded the app for both my phone and his. We spent this past weekend being driven around by his mom while we looked for leaves and pokestops etc., and when he got up the morning, the first thing he…

My youngest (age 9), would *love* to have a YouTube channel, but we're not letting him post anything. He regularly takes videos of himself with Mom's iPad, though.
