brrrr

If the heat is on in the building (which it's supposed to be), it doesn't seem to be getting to my apartment, which is a damn icebox right now.

In the morning, I'm going to query the maintenance people about this.

More of "It Came From The D&D Game"

So, last night, being Thursday, was the D&D game. Off-topic conversation and bad puns were rampant. In fact, I made a point of noting that Deec's humor was up to par, in that his puns were truly terrible (not the Spider Robinson "hold your nose and flee into the night" terrible. No, just the "man, that pun is bad" kind of terrible.)

But we keep Deec around for other reasons, like for his character to absorb 5 critical hits in one night.

Anyway, after I made numerous comments about other people's sense of humor (as in their sense of telling jokes), I could feel the backlash heading my way. I could tell that the next joke I told, if it did not get them all, would have the responses that my humor wasn't much better.

So naturally, the Gods of Laughter came to my rescue.

In the middle of a fight versus various creatures, including a gibbering mouther (an ooze creature covered in mouths, for those who don't know), I said, "What is difficult terrain for an ooze anyway? A colander?"

The game stopped. The players and GM paused.

And then they all started laughing.

Winner, and still champion: Me.

Ho-lee shit

Child's Play has already raised over $450,000 in donations to children's hospitals. That, ladies, gentlemen and mithras is the first week total for Child's Play 2009.

I repeat: Ho-lee shit.

I love this article. I want to marry it and raise a family of blog entries.

Fact checking "Going Rogue" aka the book soon to be known as "Sarah Palin is just completely full of shit".
