Let’s here it for the boys…

Ok, this meme, not a lot of you are going to get. But for those of you are familiar with my RPG (both on-line and tabletop) personas, read on.

Add a comment to this post with a question for any one of the characters I’ve played or am currently playing in an on-line or tabletop RPG and I will respond in character.

I think I’m turning Japanese…

Wow, follow this link. Amazing:

Not much going on at the house these days. Work’s keeping me fairly busy and there’s a lot to do around the house with Spring just around the corner. Devin, my son, was up most of last night puking his poor little guts out lastnight. Corrie Ann and I took it in shifts to watch over him through the night so most of today was wasted with catching up on sleep for all of us. He’s doing good now. Kept his lunch and dinner down. Must’a been one of those twenty-four hour things.

Well, that’s it for now. Like I said, not much to report on. With all the projects coming up for Spring I’m sure I’ll have much more to talk about in the coming days.

Which 80s High School Movie Are You? …aka the Molly Ringwald appreciation quiz…

You are Better off Dead: Quirky, dark, and hilarious. Nothing can beat a movie where the hero’s chased down a mountain by the paperboy who’s both wearing skis and riding a bike. Not to mention, his friend inhales snow, his brother makes rockets, and there’s a singing claymation hamburger. And most importantly, John Cusack’s the man.

Blame Canada…


You’re Canada!
People make fun of you a lot, but they’re stupid because you’ve got a much better life than they do. In fact, they’re probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren’t for your weird affection for ice hockey, you’d be the perfect person.

Huh, who’da thunk it…


Troll. You are a steadfast companion to those who
are worthy of your loyalty. You do nothing
lightly, and every action you take is weighed
and measured in accordance with the rules and
regulations. When things fell apart the
commoners turned to you for your steady example
of calm dignity. Your gentle strength is best
used to aid those in need, and you find that
you sometimes miss being in charge now that the
sidhe have returned.

The book burning’s in perfect order…

Well, our government is at it again. Seems they’ve decided to make sure our poor fellow humans of the hearing-impaired persuasion are not subjected to the evils of the boob tube:

I don’t know why this stuff surprises me anymore. I mean we’re talking about a presidency that is putting offices of faith into major government departments and staffing them with former 700 Club employees.

You know, I heard some people talking on the radio about the fact that there hasn’t been a terrorist incident in the US since 9/11. We were told Al’Qaeda operates on an eighteen month cycle, with detailed planning and training, but it has been a year plus eighteen months and then some since that horrible day. Some suggest that they simply don’t have the resources; that the war on terrorism is working. One lone soul suggested that perhaps they are just waiting out the election year. An attack now would galvanize the county again. People would be flying flags again and riding high on patriotism and Dubyah’s approval raiting would soar. He’d win by a landslide. They don’t want him as president again. I tend to agree with this idea. When you see that 87% of voters in the democratic primaries are choosing a candidate based on his ability to beat Bush rather than any particular platform stance, then maybe there are really a whole world of people who think he’s a miserable failure.

To borrow a phrase, “Who says that? I say that.”

When I grow up…

Note to self: “Must get chains for tires.” This business of getting stuck up on my hill when there’s just 5″ of snow on the ground is growing troublesome.

More time spent under the house this weekend, but I finally got our well working properly. Turns out it was a problem with the pressure switch that tells the well pump when the water tank is getting low. I replaced the switch and the pressure gauge, and now everything works just dandy. It was actually pretty easy. It was mostly just a matter of getting over the fact that it was a 220 volt line and believing that I had indeed cut the power. Electricity makes me ooky.

Outside of the snow, it was a great weekend. Miko’s doing great. She loves the snow.

Are we having fun yet…

Now this is just fucking brilliant:

“When we’re considering an innocent life, the health of the mother is not a substantial enough justification to take the innocent life.”

Thank you, South Dakota for letting me know what a bunch of morons you have running your state.

Now me, personally, I’m not all that crazy about abortion. But, and I have a big butt, what a woman does with her body is her own business. Unless that woman is my wife in which case her body is my business too…and business is gooood. Ahem!

It started out as a day I might spend being really pissed-off about the stupidity our lawmakers are capable of, but then I hopped over to Penny Arcade and was treated to a wonderful article on the virtues of a Metadong. Man I love those guys. It’s a quantum thing!

It’s been one week since you looked at me…

Ok, so. Nomination for the Darwin Awards:

And then to cheer you up:

Other than that, not much going on. I’m having a real good time tormenting jklumpp with the nature of the new character I’m playing on Metro. Fun, fun.

See you all in the funny papers.
