Freeman Hendrix's momma was WHITE!

You're late with the poetry awards. You are a PROCRASTINATOR. There. I said it.

I feel so much better now.

Howdy everybody! Have a nice weekend!

Jayzus! After days of trying to fact-check and reeducate the members of the Joe Wilson gypsy-dildo-punk fan club, after days of tearing down pathetic but nicely-decorated strawmen, after days of slogging through the grossest of conservative caricatures, I gotta ask - whence this flood? Is it that freaking Salon link (Duarararerurar Report (sp?)), or Kos, or DU, or hwut?

And what will it take to get these guys to either allow a little wisdom to be be granted them, or to go haunt their internet equivalent of a bathhouse?

I'll be troll-bait for the lefties by asking a really pertinent question:

How many children need to die, how many toddlers need to be beheaded before we wake up and cast off this politically correct mental baggage that Islam is peaceful and can be included?

Islam is a disease and needs to be eradicated. The Islamification of America is underway. 7 million + muslims in America, converting 135,000 per year and more, 3,000+ Islamic centers in America teaching muslim kids to hate and murder, and the beginnings of Islamic murder here in the US (Jersey City).

By 2010, Islam is expected to double its numbers here in America. That will be at current French levels.

In Indonesia, the country Islamified successfully when muslims comprised only 25% of the populace. It is now legal and fun to behead christian children in Indonesia.

Saying it can’t happen here is not only blind, but stupid and ignorant of history.

Howdy everybody! Have a nice weekend!

Oh right, have a nice weekend when my screen is dripping pus from the scabrous comments left by lefties with too much time on their hands. Or something on their hands. Hey, maybe that's not pus . . .

Monty says his sanity depends on it.

Hey, I didn't say that. The voice inside my head said it. Are you trying to cast aspersions on my mental state, you puke-sucking pinko dickweed?

Wait, VK left? He's still hanging around at Karol's.

What chased him off?

I used to write some things for GURPS and your item made my cry. PErhaps not like I that guy getting it in the stuffer in a NH jail cry, but tears nonetheless......;-)

GURPS IS YOUR KING AND CAR WARS IS YOUR GOD. and Illuminati was fun too.

Melee and Wizardy was better than GURPs, and the predecessor to it.

being tied to being Good/Evil/Chaos/Order bullshit

Yeah, I see what you mean. The range of choices presented by these four categories is so ... confining.

Car Wars! Whoa, that brings back memories.

Ugh.
GURPS and D&D thread, not flame thread.

*sniff*

I sense a Spring Awakening being Chanced.

I sense a Spring Awakening being Chanced.

No, that was me. I had Taco Bell for lunch. Sorry.

I preferred a more realistic alignment system, with a Dork/Geek axis and a Spazz/Gaywad axis.

VonKreedon, I think, would be a Gaywad Dork, maybe with some Spazzmoid tendencies.

Back in the very late '70s we used to play Runequest which I much preferred to the little bit of D&D I played. Now I'm introducing my 9-year old to D&D, and trying to be a DM. Geez is that game clunky!

Oh, this is so sick. Are you men or geeks? You all need to get laid. Really.

geoff:

Back in the very late '70s we used to beat dorks like you with pool cues, crush your graph-paper dungeons into a ball, and stuff them down your corduroy pants. It was a grand time to be alive.

Are you men or geeks? You all need to get laid.

Which one will getting laid cure?

I like the way ya'll revel in your geekdom

I find it endearing.

This was the flame war thread. Now it's the dorkwad thread.

Unfair! Unfair! You cannot change the rules after the game has already started.

Monty:

Oh nice. Here you come, prancing about, pirouetting gaily on the tips of your effeminate toes, reminiscing about stuffing my pants. I think it was the unstuffing that I dreaded most, because it seemed awfully and unnecessarily thorough.

Meanwhile the battle-weary, comment-stained folk who have been slapping around the moonbats all morning hunker down for a brief respite, while you parade about in your immaculate chemise (that's a good color on you, BTW).

Melee and Wizardy was better than GURPs, and the predecessor to it.

Now THOSE were games! Oh, and don't forget "In the Labrynth", the RPG rules that tied them together. I've still got my copy.

Prootwaddles. Gotta love a game that had Prootwaddles.

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad that I have no frigging idea what any of you are talking about.

Great, RWS, now they can say:

"See, women DO like us D&D losers!"

Borrowing a slogan from the anti Amercian moonbats -

I will support the d&d dorks when they shoot their DM's

geoff,

Now I'm introducing my 9-year old to D&D, and trying to be a DM.

3E, or one of the more classic versions?

Don't know if I'm following your question, but it's just the 'Basic Game' that WotC released. Figured I better introduce him to it before the 9th Circuit Court tells the schools to do it.

Yep, geoff. There's going to be hell to pay when he tells his teacher about his Rod of Ramming...

geoff:

Don't get too hung up on the rules and numbers. If you find that you have made something too easy for your son, just make up a way to take away all of his characters' most valuable stuff 20 minutes later.

That way, he will learn that the world is a cruel place, and that we are all helpless before its overwhelming arbitrary forces.

I need to write a book: Everything I Needed To Know I Learned from D&D.

Don't get too hung up on the rules and numbers

Yeah, I was getting a little concerned over the number of tequila shots it said to take. The games seemed awfully short, and he wasn't worth much at school the next day. Or did I somehow swap manuals . . .

So, GURPS is to D&D as Larry Niven's Known Space is to Star Trek?

I like the way ya'll revel in your geekdom

Geoff,

Teaching your son D&D, huh?

Best abstinence education money can buy. You are to be commended.

Teaching your son D&D, huh? Best abstinence education money can buy. You are to be commended.

lol!

Oh, cheez. If you guys think D&D is the reason dorks don't get girls, you still haven't come to grips with the grippy thing you should've come to by now. D&D is a symptom. Dork is the disease.

Take the dungeon away from the dork, and he still doesn't get laid. He just doesn't have anything else to do tonight, either.

Surprised no one ever mentions "Paranoia" when the discussion turns to these topics. Or "Heroes, Unlimited." Possibly the faggiest RPG of all times. Which is, of course, saying an awful lot.

Sometimes it's hard to believe I'm married.

Ah, Known Space. Yeah, I was reading Niven and Orson Scott Card and Heinlein in high school, rather than D&D, which is unsurprising as I was a chick at a boarding school and the guys played D&D after hours.

But then in college, I was introduced to Magic the Gathering, and got hooked for a few years. I didn't play to win (most of my cards sucked, and I didn't feel like paying lots of money for single, powerful cards) -- I played for revenge. And to make everybody hurt. One time, I killed off everybody in the game at the same time, including myself. I thought that was awesome.
I had to play 3- or more player games, because that was the only way I could last long enough to really mess with people.

Oh, and I wrote some poetry about my Magic wins:
