I've been summoned
Back in junior high, during one of our marathon Dungeons and Dragons sessions, something completely random and interesting happened. My high level cleric was randomly summoned by a wizard bent on some mischief, who had apparently mispronounced his casting.

Goings on...
Stayed home with the Son and Heir© yesterday. His fever broke sometime Monday, but his thighs were just covered in spots.

Critters
Most municipalities will claim that they regulate the height of lawns to prevent critters from taking up residence. It's a lie. They do it because all politicians are at heart power-mongers, and they instinctively want to regulate everything ( Read more... ) -
Holiday Weekend

Too many missed posts
I've had many things on my mind which I felt like posting about, and failed to post on any of them. I'm catching up here:
Throwdown: Haynes vs. ChiltonEver been in your local auto parts store, looking at the various guides and wondering if they would be any help in your current project? Well, the answer is, gentle reader, no, they won't help a ( Read more... )
