Yes. It's great because a total newb can pick it up and play a wizard and you don't have to try to steer them to warrior. It's not so great in terms of the roleplaying and the creativity. There's no out-of-the-box solutions to problems, just what the rules say yes or no to.

I was on the West Coast, so it happened as I was getting ready for school. First period had it playing on the TV when I came in.

This is the incomparable The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

Character ... is what you are in the dark!

Yes I do not tan at all, ever, so the prospect of ridiculous tan lines is not a problem.

I wondered that too - he's got to get wet sometime? Like even his hands when he's fetching some water?

It's like a word salad, and for some reason my brain is hearing it in a monotone run-on sentence. Do you think this is quirky well it is not

What's wrong with you people, no one uses jars anymore!

I love onions, but I seem to be mildly allergic to them. Can we trade?

Now I'm scared of both celery and my toothbrush.

I've never boiled asparagus since I discovered roasting it. A little olive oil and some salt and pepper and it's like crunchy delicious asparagoodness.

IDK, I clicked this article to see about buying some for my spouse. I've used a sleeve on him, it's kind of fun.

Brad Pitt is a really great actor in any movie where he's not being pretty. 12 Monkeys is my favorite performance of his ever.

I tend to be very literal in real life, so the couple of times that's happened to me I've been like "Wow that was a weird thing to say." and walked off. It's not usually until weeks later that I realize OH RIGHT NEGGED.

I deeply regret posting in that thread, because I did not express myself well and now there are a lot of people thinking I was making a statement on Indians or Indian cultures which was not my intent.
