Why Do NRO Dorks Have to Steal My Schtick?

John J. Miller writes a mash note to E. Gary Gygax, inventor of Dungeons & Dragons.

Well, I guess now I know which of the NRO dorks got my D&D Guide to the Democratic Presidential Candidates linked when I started this dumb-ass dorkblog.

Ace - this is one of funniest things ever.

Miami Vice...80's songs....D&D...time for you to start growing out the ol' mullet there, Ace.

Posted by: sonofnixon on October 16, 2004 10:36 AM

Admit it, Ace, you own a pair of pink and teal legwarmers.

Posted by: Sobek on October 16, 2004 11:18 AM

Wasn't there an article praising Iron Maiden in NRO last month?

Posted by: Moonbat_One on October 16, 2004 11:27 AM

Thanks, Mike.

SoN:

I'd grow a mullet if I could get away with it.

Sobek:

D&D/Miami Vice? How do you get leg-warmers from that? D&D must be the least gay/least feminine thing ever. Well, it's "gay" in the dork sense, but it's not gay in the gay sense.

I don't think more than three gay guys have ever played D&D -- it's an SWD (straight white dork) hobby.


Moonbat,

Heck, probably. But I don't know.

We'll see if they run a Whitesnake article. Then I'll be pissed off.

I don't want one of my three female readers getting her feelings hurt.

Why does it feel like someone used a Wish, something like "I wish for a suave, coiffed, sports-loving, independently wealthy, well-educated, military hero, with a plan for every situation as nominee for President."

Just saying as a GM that most everything about this guy seems... warped.

Oh, Ace. You poor, deluded man . . .

Oh, Ace. You poor, deluded man . . .

Really? I always thought gay people were far too cool to play D&D. Hell, everybody else is. Even a band nerd like me...

Posted by: Smack on October 16, 2004 04:26 PM

Believe it or not, there are uncool gay people. Anyway, I knew plenty of gays who played at D&D and other tabletop RPGs, but they preferred LRPGs. This gave them the opportunity to dress up in Lord Vampire getup in public.

Posted by: Andrea Harris on October 16, 2004 04:37 PM

The first gay guy I ever knew was a band nerd. I'm a semi-reformed D&D geek. Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Planescape, etc.

Andrea's right though, LRPGs are more common among us pink folk. Vampire: The Masquerade was a dating disaster. I couldn't figure out if they were gay or just scary.

Turns out, most of them were both.

Posted by: Rob on October 16, 2004 04:47 PM

Heh, guess you learn something new every day. But mainly, I was just looking for any opportunity to tweak Ace's nose in the Band-vs-D&D cold war.

Posted by: Smack on October 16, 2004 05:09 PM

Well, band geek wins that contest hands down. There are, you know, females involved.

Because this one time, at band camp . . .

Posted by: Rob on October 16, 2004 05:11 PM

Ravenloft???? Dragonlance I can half-respect, but I suspect the "first gay guy" you knew was somehow involved in your Ravenloft experimentation (joke!).

But seriously, I'll openly admit to D&D. No force on this earth will get me to talk about my band experience. Not that I ever had any, of course...

Posted by: George on October 16, 2004 10:56 PM

Any true D&D game nerd from the Great Lakes states in the 1970s *knows* that E. Gary Gygax did not "invent" D&D. Dave Arneson invented the game. Gygax wrote a set of fantasy rules for Chainmail, a set of medieval miniature rules, but Arneson converted that into the role-playing concept.

Gygax was the publisher of TSR, eased Arneson out after the game proved a monster hit, and then rewrote history so that St. Gary of Gygax gave virgin birth to D&D.

Shades of Stan Lee, eh?

I was into Runequest, back in the day. And Morrow Project. Ah, lovely Morrow Project: every campaign the same. Come out of coldsleep after the apocalypse, round up some gear...and kill farmers with a heavy machine gun mounted on a Commando V-150 armored car.

"We drive our V-150 into the town."

"Okay. (die roll) A crossbow bolt plinks off the side of the V-150."

"We drive around the block at slow speed, hosing down the buildings with the M2 (heavy machine gun)."

"Oooh-kay. (die roll) Town's on fire now."

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
