I've been sleeping on a hammock for the past 4 years. I actually dislike mattresses now. They hurt my back, and I wake up feeling like my spine is bent the wrong way. XD

Using hammers to fight dragons?

Can be super effective!

Dragon: Foolish mortals! My scales are so tough, no sword can pierce them!

Dwarven sergeant (with evil grin): That's all right, beasty. We're not plannin' on piercin' yer hide, anyway.

(Cue brutal beatdown....)

I just finished my dragon Knight 'Ween costume, and I thought a hammer would be a good weapon for it.

I'ma call it "The hammer of Geoff".

Felt?

Felt? Like feelings? Or like the fabric? If it's the fabric, it can be soft and squishy... like a kitten! But it doesn't purr, so not as good as a kitten. Our kitten is overweight. She can't even clean her back any more because she can't bend that way. She needs to go on a diet. Diet is a word that ends with a t, just like felt!

... what were we talking about again?

48-shot revolvers?

... where do you put all the bullets? I'm picturing a handgun with a magazine much longer than the barrel. I don't think that will fit in a holster.

A tower of jello and lies?

So I'm actually doing NaNoWriMo! I broke 5,000 words tonight. Woo!

How do I get one of those signature thingems you've got?

Great job! Keep it up!

1) Log in to your account at www.nanowrimo.org.

2) Go to the drop down menu titled "Inspiration" and select "Word Count Helpers."

3) Click on the link that reads "Show off your word count."

4) Take a look at the different widgets they offer. I chose the first one.

5) Highlight the hypertext for the image you want to display, and copy it.

6) Edit your signature here, and paste that hypertext between the "img" tags.

7) Profit!

(I figured you knew how to do some of these already - probably better than myself - but I thought I'd post a full list of directions for others. )

If the lies get to you, comfort yourself with Jell-O! Unless the Jell-O is the lie... in which case, run. It could be a gelatinous cube!

... yes, a giant cube of Jell-O is an iconic D&D monster. Weird....

Just avoid those that have taken a level in the "samurai" class....

Hey, those things are scary. At least in D&D online, they dissolve your weapons are armor. I've gotten killed by a swarm of them, before.

Stores skipping Thanksgiving is incredibly annoying?

Depends on your level. Get high enough, they become more annoyances than anything. Then again, that could be said for pretty much any D&D monster....

I'm of the opposite mindset. More stores should be closed on Thanksgiving so people can spend time with their families. There's too much emphasis on materialism and consumerism these days, and people are getting disconnected from what really matters. People have all of Friday to shop - use Thursday to play games with the kids, pig out on turkey, and talk with your loved ones. Even if your loved ones are a bunch of cats.

It's actually a revolver with 8 barrels. It has one big barrel that holds the 8 smaller ones. When one barrel runs out, you spin it to the next one.

Skycurser?

Yeesh, that game looks terrible! A shooter with excessive amounts of gore... and that's its selling point? I'll pass.

Oh hey, I'm in that exact same mindset. I've ranted against the stores opening on Thursday for years, and I had to work Black Thursday last year, and I swore never again. It ruined my Thanksgiving...and I've more than half a mind to try and organize a strike against the stores opening on Thanksgiving this year. I think it's wrong.

What I meant was stores putting up Halloween stuff in September, and taking it down and replacing it with Christmas stuff October 31st. They skip Thanksgiving.

Ah, I'm in agreement with you there. Christmas stuff shouldn't be up until after Thanksgiving, in my opinion. The lone exception should be fabric and craft stores, of course, because it takes time to put things like that together. But after Halloween, then it is time to start selling up Thanksgiving.

Hmm... maybe that's part of the reason our society is getting more "gimme gimme gimme" materialistic, and less grateful for the things they do have. Food for thought.

Chozon1 wrote:Organized strikes against stores opening on Thanksgiving?

Hmm... nah. As I mentioned earlier, those Thursdays should be spent with friends and family, not picketing a store.

Besides, I've been around the boards long enough you should know my attitude towards it. People should let the stores know what they think with their money. If you don't like it, don't shop there. If enough people do this, then the stores will change their approach.
