Sometimes, you just run across a sentence that you want to share. Today, I present you with,
"Captain Pigot was a brave and efficient officer, but with a most unfortunate disposition, combining discourtesy to his officers with savage brutality to his crew."
From Frigates, Sloops & Brigs by James Henderson, a history of the development and use of light warships by the British Navy between 1793 and 1815. It's the dry sarcasm I can hear dripping off the line that makes it so amusing.Current Music: Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher |

Those of your out there that I know in real life (which I suppose is all of you actually), have heard me complain about my sister and her general stupidity. And some of you expressed doubts about its all-encompassing nature. Let me illustrate for you.
I had lunch with my mother today and she let me know that earlier this week, she had gotten a phone call from my sister. It seems the my sister couldn't remember when her children were born and called my mother in the hopes that Mom would know.
I don't think anything further needs to be said.

I think I need a break from running my game. I've gone from looking forward to running each session to viewing the approach of each session with dread. I've finally got the two final arcs figured out fully, but maybe a month or three off will bring the fun back.

First up, after about 10 hours working on an email system problem, the Dune jokes can get really funny. "The Spam must flow" takes on a brilliance you only see when strung out on something.
Secondly, my growing hatred of Marvel is increasing by leaps and bounds. Check out the Spider-Man:Reign #3 description at The Savage Critic(s)
Gryphon says it much better than I can but please don't comment all over his blog, I didn't have a chance to get permission for the link.

Being highly bored this evening, watching the ice fall isn't keeping me enthralled, I feel the need to let you know that adding shallots and smelt to the gumbo recipe I found today works great. And that substituting a a mix of celery and carrots isn't really anything like okra, which I couldn't find, but it works fairly well.

It's been brought to my attention that Rhino has lost the rights to the films in Mystery Science Theater 3000 collections 1 & 3. If you haven't already, you might want to get them before they're out of print.

Want a new way to get really odd second looks from people? Try pulling tires off a car in the parking lot of the Police department.
I had a support call that had me running over to the PD today. It seems that they're taking advantage of the warm weather to get some roofing done and the crew is a bit sloppy with their equipment and materials. Which leads to a heavy construction staple in my tire. Wackiness ensues.
Bleh.

Although folks like this shouldn't just be fined, they should have to turn in their guns, their thumbs, and their ability to spread their genetic material to future generations, because if you're that dumb, I sure don't want you shooting or breeding.
