So what I'm hearing is you, Insane Jeenyus, and I should all intermarry to forge an alliance and seize absolute control of the South.

Okay, I guess. We certainly need to find someone with boats. Shouldn't be hard around here.

Fun fact: there are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky.

Re: Peelee's Chicken Fried Random Banter Thread #220
Here is the story of how Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes ruined my love life.
For those who don't know, Mordy's was a D&D 5e sourcebook that came out last May. It included a creature called the Giff, which is sort of hippoesque Renaissance soldier.
I was on a date, and my "other" got a text from a friend with a funny moving picture (aka GIF) attached. Without showing me the picture, she mused: "Is it pronounced gif, or jif?" Without thinking, I immediately responded with some nonsense about "Oh, I didn't know you played D&D." Getting me a strange look.
Suffice it to say that we are no longer dating.

Eh, "ruined." If she felt that strongly about it, would you really have been happy continuing a deeper relationship with her?

I was being facetious. It's no big deal to me, I was just trying to tell a mildly amusing case of mistaken identity.

That's amusing.
On a related note, I spent Friday with my crushes, and one of the things we talked about were our worst campaigns. It took a lot of explaining as to how I got singled out for the nerfs in one campaign because my character concept, which the GM okayed, would have been too efficient at finding things out, but that was nothing to the story where their characters apparently left all their equipment on the cart while they slept, (now things like armour I can understand, but they were told they'd even left their sidearms there).
Suffice it to say that we are not dating, they just don't like me in that way.

The cursh is not dead, the one I'm closer to is demi and acting suspicious, to the point where I'm not ruling anything out. Plus I've been corrected whenever I've mentioned that I'm not supposed to ask them out (so like twice), it's 'I'm not supposed to ask them out anytime soon'.
In related news, one of them shared their deep dark secret with me. Anonymouswizard was unimpressed, but got why it was so important to them.

Reading these posts from time to time makes me feel like I've just jumped into the middle of a long-running television series with no clue about where the plot is, who the characters are, or what's happened.

Executive summary: Annonymouswizard used to have a crush on a nurse he worked with, when he eventually asked her out she turned out to be spoken for. By then his crushes had become a popular topic of conversation, so he also brought up his new crush(es), a pair of bisexual polyamorous Russian women. They're not interested right now but have implied that they may be at a later date. For now they're friends.

It's a fantastic series. 5 stars, would watch again.

Well that's a better summary than I'd have been able to give.
Did I mention that one of them is helping me learn Russian? She's awesome, and I'm hoping that she manages to get one of her stories published soonish (at least compared to my stories, I've got to get back to the one I'm working on).

Really? I thought the main character was dull and uninteresting myself.
(In all honesty, this thread isn't getting anywhere near all the highlights, it's a lot less interesting if you're one of my RL friends, who are even in danger of getting summaries of Zombicide games.)

Oh, I see how it is. So you can have two Random Banter threads within the 50 thread limit. Tsk. This is an outrage. :smallamused:
(I do find it funny describing lives and whatnot in terms of TV shows. I don't know why. It just tends to make things more humorous, at least to me.)

I believe the idea was to intertwine your dynasties such that a future heir would be the kweisatz haderach of southern power, heir to all the planes, trains, boats, and rental properties you could shake a stick at.

American's were engaging in political marriage about 15 minutes after they got off the Mayflower. I know they had lawyers within 6 months. You would not believe the things they sued over. Well, you probably would since they read like a schedule of Maury or Oprah, if Maury and Oprah were obsessed with sheep, pigs, and sundry ruminants.

In New York city a few years back, a drycleaner lost a man's pants. The man sued the dry cleaner for several MILLION dollars for losing a single pair of pants. (he lost, just so we're clear, but still; it made it to a judge in the first place)
Try me.

I don't remember any off the top of my head, but in a quick search I found a couple who were ordered to stand in the stocks due to their anticipation of their marriage, which isn't that weird considering the society in question. The weird thing is that the husband was ordered to build the stocks for this purpose. So every young couple that got caught in Duxborough got to wear the Francis and Margery West stocks.

In the US you can sue for anything. Literally anything. What you'll win and what the damages are are what gets decided, but you can sure as hell sue for anything.
You can also get laughed in your face by lawyers and piss the judge right off, though. Checks and balances!

Duxborough? I assume that's pronounced "Ducksberg," and this was before the Money Bin.

I know. That's (part of) why I said 'try me' (ie asked for specific examples): because I doubted anything would surprise me :smalltongue:

A boat can move itself; so it could be considered automobile....
