Hubby: Doesn't look like any of my dice.
Wife: Well you find out whose dice it belongs too and I'll put it in their shoe the next time they're here.

Don't Cross The Streams
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Muleskinner - It's Only A Song →
A song about Musician relationships. They are a fellow ACIDplanet artist with a really good homegrown sound. Love the way the music and delivery of this song it so Bog Seger-ish. Give it a listen if you have a few moments to kill.

Nightmare Turned Scenario
I awoke with a horrible nightmare and the thing that came to mind was that it would make a perfect scenario for a Nightspawn/Nightbane adventure. So in a feverish pitch I threw on my shorts and came downstairs and immediately started to write and 13 pages later I was done. Ever have a nightmare that so dark and scary and that you just had to rewrite it so that your players will be put through the...

An Uber Event
I was all set to set the wrap up of my Anima: Beyond Fantasy campaign and had a major monkey wrench thrown into the works. One of my players couldn’t make it for the evening, so that sort of left me in the lurch since I was so looking forward to venturing forth in the realm of dark fantasy anime style once again. It had been a while since we’ve ventured forth. So as the other players...

Growing Old Disgracefully Chapter 12
Him: You know one of these days you should grow up and start acting your age.
Me: What you mean?
Him: These silly games your play. This Dungeons and Dragons stuff... ain't they childish? There is better time to be doing other stuff than sitting on your arse and playing games.
Me: Well I could be like you and hit the bars each weekend and drink myself blue in the face and fawn over the young ladies there. You're old enough to be their grandfather.
Him: That's different.
Me: That's life. You spend your time the way you want to spend it, I'll waste my time doing something I like doing.

Overheard At A Coffee Shop This Morning
Guy #1: So are you getting a tattoo or are you going to be chickening out and staying with the normals?
Guy #2: I was thinking about it and decided not to since I didn't want to fall in with the normals.
Guy #1: You just chickensh!t that's all you are. Afraid to get something and staying with the conformed.
Guy #2: I was thinking about it and thought that if I got a tattoo I'd just be conforming and a part of the normal now. You have a tattoo, those two over there have tats, and she does as well... just about 90% people in this place have tats on display. So, I figured If I don't get tat and piercings I won't be conforming to the norm... so whose the one that's conformed now?
