EDIT: Also, dogs are awesome. But Geese? Geese can go fuck themselves.

I still meet guys who absolutely hate the idea of girls at the table. I suspect it relates to wanting to act out transgressive fantasies but I also had a fairly well respected and decent guy say "it's because they always want to focus on how pretty their character is" to which I responded "have you ever played a character that was fat?" We don't hang out any more.

The one girl in our group just wants to kill shit. A lot.

This has been my expereince as well. Most (not all) of the women I've gamed with have been bloodthirsty murderhobo maniacs at the table.
 
Also, because I don't want to be accused of pushing my pro-cat agenda:


Bears aren't so tough. I once watched a peacock fight a bear and win.

Cats are the best. Even when mine likes to wake me up three to six times a night...
A girlfriend of mine had a cat that was obsessed with avocado pits. Any time we'd eat an avocado, it would abscond with the pit. That in itself wasn't a big deal, but we'd be woken in the night by the rumbling of it rolling pit around on the hardwood floor. I'd turn the light on and, it would just be sitting innocently, no pit in sight. As soon as I would get to sleep again, the rumbling would begin again...

I've had one "fake geek girl" who was only playing because she liked someone who was playing (first a friend of mine, later me). Girl in the current group is the wife of my best friend, but she's also totally legit. She's actually played RPGs longer than he has.

Geese especially of the Canadian variety should be shot in sight. They poop all the fuck over my lawn. They are not shy and will attempt to mess your kids up for playing in your own yard if they have gosling's with them. Deer are preferred over geese. I hate geese. Hate them. Hate!

Ah, a fellow Dominos Pizza Zimbabwe follower :smile:

is that where this is from? I just grabbed the pic.

Context is for the weak! :grin:

EDIT: I want a 1 to 5 scale noman warning. Something like, "This is a Level 5 noman warning. Noman is ranting about bigfoot. Please stay away from the Strange Things thread until further notice. :oops:
 
Fuckin geese! Really when did mankind get so lame it surrendered a whole floor of a building to a overpopulated pest. I'd understand if this was some rare bird we wanted to see breed regardless of how effing annoying it is but it's a goose.

It's one of those "funny pictures" groups on Facebook, with the concept being that they represent Dominos and their poor, overworked, regularly-killed staff member Pengu has to deal with all of their problems, including making sure everybody gets their Meerkat Melts on time. It's pretty funny. They'd just posted the pic a few minutes before you :smile:

It's probably not the worst thing in the tunnels in the underground, but TFL generally try to keep those quite tightly under wraps. Sometimes the truth leaks out on the BBC, of course.

Bunch, I'm beginning to think you were mugged by a goose once. ;):grin::grin::grin:

Here's something to sooth your righteous anger:

Imagine forty geese crapping on your lawn all winter. Assholes. Turkey is not goose. In my area turkey are beautiful and rare and most importantly not crapping on my lawn all winter.
 
Did somebody say Dank Memes?

Tough times create hard men,
Hard men create ...

:p

First of all, this is what happens when people take my posts too seriously. :p

Second, Tristram, Endless, please don't blame Dragoner for this; I enabled him. He may have smoked the joint, but I rolled it for him. :oops:

Finally, I've read this book, and I didn't like it. I found the character interactions to be too...touchy-feely for my tastes. :grin:

I totally get it. :smile: I have a similar problem with pigeons.

BTW, the pic I linked was supposed to be a roasted goose, not a turkey. I don't know my wild game well enough too tell the difference between one roasted bird and another.

There are plenty of websites with instructional videos on roasting birds. I'll send you some links. ;)

Turkeys, however, do creepy things like this...

Well shit I can't tell the difference either. My bad. It just looked like Thanksgiving so I assumed turkey.

I have as much use for those as a hard-core paleo-diet guy has for kale recipes. ;):smile::smile:

Same, though from where I'm from, it's normal, there is even a name for it: "Schmäh."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_Schmäh

EDIT: I forgot to mention the link was very interesting.

I've adopted a strict "no politcs" rule for myself, both online and AFK. Living where I do, everything is political. I try to stay out of it all, just to try to preserve what's left of my sanity. But I slip sometimes. The Dank Memes bit I did was meant as a joke, but I wonder if I went too far there.

EDIT: Paragraph deleted 'cause too much unnecessary info.

That's some straight up, Flat-Earth weirdness right there.

Also, dinner*.

* The turkeys not the cat. The cat will be buried with honor.

It's cool. For all I know, it is a turkey.

As much as I love not being serious around here, I'd like to make sure we don't go off track too much if someone wants to discuss our simple rules here at the Pub. Just a friendly reminder to try not to make tangents of threads too much and don't be afraid to start a new thread if you want to talk about something.

My bad, Endless. Will do.

We have goose every year for Thanksgiving. They are a lot more expensive but much more tasty. Duck is also good but they usually aren't big enough. I know Turkey is mostly an American thing but do they eat a lot of goose in Europe, Asia or Australia?

Goose discussion has moved to the I hate geese thread
 
Americans only invented turkey to have something dry enough to justify putting jam on it. "Cranberry sauce"
 
As for politics... I am extremely politically active, and extremely angry about it at least 130% of the time. 99% of American politics is one right-wing authoritarian political party calling the half of the country that supports the other right-wing authoritarian political party "the real fascists" and being completely justified in doing so.

And the reason I don't like talking about politics with gamers is because they take all of the mouthbreathing cretinism this implies and multiply it by the misguided sense of intellectual superiority that can only develop from having worked out the intricacies of THAC0 in one's formative years and the misguided sense of moral superiority that can only come from having been vindicated about having unpopular hobbies in one's youth that are now fashionable.

So, basically, your options are to either encourage the worst subhuman manchildren the 21st century has to offer to shit all over anyone that isn't a middle-class straight white male, or allow the second-worst subhuman manchildren of the 21st century-- who are also, coincidentally, almost all middle-class straight white males-- to define everything they don't like as "racist" or "sexist" while being completely oblivious to their own racism, sexism, and most of all classism.

Theoretically, there should be a middle ground there where people can discuss political issues and current events, without tolerating harassment and overt displays of bigotry but allowing people to discuss legitimate differences in ideology and policy.

There should be, but I've never seen it. Every RPG forum I've seen has either been Orwell & Kafka Presents: the Big Purple Nightmare, Pundit playing Den Mother for his local HJ troop, or Eric Noah's granny kicking you under the table for bringing up politics at dinner. I really like this place, and if anyone can shoot the gap I reckon it's this crew... but I'm not seeing any benefits that are worth the risks, here.
 
I actually think many people here could have a civilized discussion about politics. I just worry about what that invites in from the outside and I’m not willing to risk a great community over it.

That's about where I am, yeah. I would desperately love a place where I could have civilized discussion about politics from a gaming perspective. I just wouldn't want to risk losing a place where I can have civilized discussions about games to try for it.

Endless, If you and Tristram take anything I write on this site seriously (and most of it you shouldn't), if you are willing to let yourself listen to one, single thing I say here, and consider it worth hearing, it's this:

Don't allow politics, of any type, to inject itself into this forum. Doing so will destroy what you've built here.
 
I agree with the no politics. I visit the Big Purple fairly often but I frequently don't enjoy what I perceive as bias there. Much happier here.

I only visit the Great Purple Site or the STORYGAMES! site in order to remind myself why I don't post there anymore. :irritated:
