It came from the D&D game

So the GM is describing the swampy valley we're about to walk down into, and he says, just at the limit of our vision is a black ziggurat (step-pyramid), where the, well, quest item (a sacred tablet for a tribe of shifters) is supposed to be. To get to it, we're going to have to slog through swamps, probably fight off lizardmen and undead.

I immediately pipe up with "Okay, so when we get there, I have a plan. We'll set the place on fire, and then we can just search through the ashes. But I have to warn you, this plan has some danger to it.

"Everyone knows that smoking ziggurats can kill you."

You need to somehow work into the next game a Buddhist hot dog joint where you can get 'one with everything'.


'Cause it's not like we don't read the same books...

Hey, if Jason hadn't made where the dungeon crawl is going to be a ziggurat, I never would have made the joke. I can only work with what I'm given.
