William Hughes, that is my exact answer, down to seeing the show in Chicago. I'm so happy it's on this list.

I also max out speed and acrobatics before anything else. If you do that, by level 10 you're fast enough that you have to be careful when you lead NPCs around, lest you lose them.

Having to travel to Creeper or the the Mudcrab every time you had nice loot was a bit annoying, but generally by the time I got to the point where I needed them, I had enough money as it was and I would start piling up fancy items in my stronghold.

Nibbler from Futurama.

F THE PAIN AWAY. F THE PAIN AWAY. from the Red Letter Media Babies Day Out review slays me every time.

The Blind Assassin is my favorite of hers. I couldn't put it down—I actually read it in a tent at Bonnaroo while my friends went to shows. I also have a love for The Edible Woman, but I seem to be alone on that one.

The reader also reads the text of the footnotes as they appear, instead of waiting until the end of the chapter, which helped me out—if I wait…

Currently reading My Struggle: Book 3 and Oryx and Crake. Mani is on my bedside table.

The problem was that she wasn't a real funny person.

Fossey didn't skin animals, she tried to protect them from poachers. She was likely killed by poachers.

You say that it isn't very common to run into trans people. But you've probably run into more than you know, but since you couldn't tell, you didn't have any abnormal reaction to them. I used to have a boss who was a transman. He wasn't out at work (we worked in a Catholic business) and no one but his close friends…

Morrowind, hands down. I can hear the theme music in my head now.

One Day at Horrorland was my favorite too! I can still remember the image of the kids sliding down a never-ending, enclosed slide.

In my head I always read that as "Ca-vay Dwellers."

The mascot of Guilford College (a Quaker school in NC) is nicknamed the Fighting Quaker.

He was in Shadow of the Vampire!
