For everyone else, there’s Mastercard; for you, Star Wars geek, there’s THINKGEEK. April-fools-joke-turned-licensed-product, the TAUN TAUN SLEEPING BAG is still available! Thinkgeek also has all kinds of other neat stuff. Like a working Doctor Who sonic screwdriver. That’s right. RPG Geek: If your geek doesn’t have it yet, Paizo’s Pathfinder Core Rulebook is just amazing. […]

So, a follow up to this post. It’s been 7 months. The kids haved changed their behaviors around, gotten older, etc. So where are they?
I know, I know. I post a burst, talk about how I’m gonna do more, and disappear. Then return to hijack. I do actually have a post coming up on the strange trip I’ve been on for the past 3-4 months. See, my laptop (an ASUS G50vt from Best Buy) went wacky on me. Of a […]
I know, controversial title, right?

I love Joss Whedon. I idolize Aaron Sorkin. I just don’t get Kevin Smith. Or, put differently: I want to hang out with Joss Whedon. I want to *be* Aaron Sorkin. Kevin Smith is the guy that shows up at the game cause he’s friends with someone else, and I can’t tell him to leave.
There’s a story in the local paper. It’s a few paragraphs long, but it can be summarized as thus: Wolf populations are on the rise in WI. Wolves are eating deer. Hunters shot less deer. The logical conclusion? Wolf hunts. ……………… I…. It’s….you see….deer….wolves….hunters are…. I can’t even really begin to address this. But it’s […]

If you don’t know how to use the words, don’t use them. People are not impressed when you use words with 3 syllables simply to use big words. This is doubly true when you use it *wrong.* Don’t use query when you mean question. It just calls out that you want to sound smart. And […]
