Mundane and Pointless Quotes I Must Share

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.

Sunday night, my brother said this to me during D&D:
"You bastard! I can't believe you got me to put my body in my own grave."

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

That is how it works in most trick taking games, from Bridge to Hearts to Anaconda. Furthermore, playing a card "off suit" (that is: when you don't have any cards of the lead suit) makes you automatically lose the trick unless the card is Trump (for those games that have trump suits). So once trumps are out, you can take a lot of cards just by being the last guy with Spades at the table - even if those remaining spades are 3s and 4s.erik wrote:Since Chamomile beat me to it, I guess I'll have to come up with another one.
"No, you have to follow suit if you can. That means playing the same kind as the first player led."
(from last night's game of Oh Hell)
Is this how it works?
Whether taking these extra tricks is good (Bridge), bad (Hearts), or indeterminate (Anaconda), depends greatly on the specifics of the game.

So, I was reading a gemstone encyclopaedia today, and there was a picture in it:
When I asked my son what it was, his response? A Government.
So I asked him what a government does (to see if he actually had any clue what he was talking about). It protects the city!
My son has a vague concept of government and its function, and the visualization for this concept is a stodgy old man. Quite frankly, I think that's some of the most revealing political commentary I've heard in a while.

My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
