An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'

There she is: @Shyla Hello!

I've been so addicted to Deadfire. I'm truly astounded that I had this idea that it wasn't going to be all that great and basically finally started playing it out of desperation. I guess I do have the benefit of having DLCs and patches. It's been remarkably stable for me so far. I have several DLCs now, but I eschewed a couple that looked iffy to me. That Seeker Slayer Survivor thing looks like an arena sort of DLC and I have no interest in either arenas (single or multiplayer) or multiplayer anything. At this point, I enjoy the action as long as it goes with the story. I'm not even planning on playing the game on anything other than classic difficulty at this point. Yeah, it was fun back when I could map out mazes in my head, but I've only gotten dumber over the years, not smarter, and double for lazy. No pencil and paper to keep track of maps, mazes, and messages for me. If the game doesn't provide a record review of it, I'll probably miss it. Just got to Tikawara or some such. Place reminds me of Spanish Picaresque literature. Everyone is abjectly poor and starving and whatnot. Anyhow, just talked to the first several people and, of all things, I'm off to find... fruit? Now that I see it, I wonder if I have the right Spanish genre? Maybe I'm thinking Picayune or something like that? I know it's pointless to think about it, but if anyone knows, that would be great. Meanwhile, Picaresque serves as an apt description also, especially considering there's literally a rascal stuck on a post when we breeze into town.

This weekend my wife did her 2nd triathlon. It was part of a mermaid series that is mostly all women and is very friendly and less competitive, so it was a neat change of pace from some of the events I did this summer. She is still getting comfortable with the swim, and this one was around a pier in the ocean. I was able to walk along the pier as she swam, and it was pretty funny hearing her voice carry across the water as she talked to people while side stroking. I mean, conversational pace is a good goal to have when doing endurance sports, but typically the swim is pretty quiet. But she got it done and kicked butt on the rest of the race.

Welcome @Shyla!

am knowing for most folks the ol is a secondary concern, but for the cowboys, more than even mosts teams, the ol is the driver o' success, and the cowboys ol is nowhere near 100%. tyrion smith is sidelined and la'el collins were questionable even before he left the game... and zach martin is playing hurt. am knowing we sound like a broken record talking 'bout cowboys and the ol. after all, every team has some ol attrition during the year, so is not as if cowboys is in a unique situation. however, given dak limitations, the cowboys is particular ill-suited to overcome ol problems. is tough to describe just how basic is the cowboys offense and am seeing no reason for such other than minimizing dak mistakes. until the ol situation gets right, which doesn't look like is gonna happen soon, the cowboys will continue to struggle 'gainst all but the cellar dwellers defenses in the league. HA! Good Fun!

Started a new game in RDR2... wanted to do this for weeks already, but never had the mood. Now with the pc announcement I couldn't hold it anymore. First thing I noticed is that the stealth part of any mission is completely useless. There is no point to it at all, because it will still end in a mass shooting anyway. Might as well start shooting right away, it changes nothing at all. The game is so damn beautiful and peaceful in free roam. It looks great, hell I could just slowly walk my horse along the road and watch. It's very much a slow game too, with the way you move around, have to grab the rifle from the horse, etc... and honestly, I very much like this. It's the style and theme of the game. It's awesome, it's *real*... ... and then you start any mission and notice right away how scared R* were about this and to compensate that, make you shoot a million bad guys along the way. It's just too much. Mindless drone swarms to headshot over and over again, in every mission. This Kiran(??) guy said, our group is very much like the O'Driscoll ... no, it is not. Out group doesn't consist of thousands of people who all die like flies. This completely rips me out of the game. It an annoys the hell out of me. Should have added A LITTLE more depth here... better ai, less drone swarms, more impactful decisions... I'm sure they could have done that if they wanted to. /edit: it probably would have worked already to just cut the amount of bad guys down to 1/3 and disable auto-aim.

Another surprisingly good weapon is St.Droga's Skull - it comes with 20% burn lash and also 20% chance to proc burn dmg (50% dmg of the sabre) in a large AoE. Overall it's like a 20% lash weapon with 10% AoE dmg.

A hipster sued a newspaper for using his picture in an article called "Why all hipsters look the same". Later was revealed that the hipster on the picture was a different person.

Heh, depending on how the house looked, chicken might be back on the menu.
