Honestly I'd rather play a fantasy RPG that is an original IP rather than something that has been forced to conform to a specific (and old and stale) canon. Unless of course the Planescape setting could be revived. I'd sell body parts for a well done, modern Planescape game on the scale of the Elder Scrolls games.

Wow, somehow 1984 seems more real every day. What did I tell you guys about healthcare when the US started the Obamacare BS; healthcare is the ultimate backstage pass into every aspect of our lives. Of course they want to control it. They want to control us and that is the means to the end. Everyone knows smoking, drinking, eating the wrong stuff is bad for you. Most folks do it in moderation, those who don't usually aren't surprised when bad stuff happens. But this initiative isn't about saving anyone. None of the things like this ever are. Reading things like this make me want to buy more guns and more ammo. Of course the WHO and the American left wants to take those away too.

Wow, that was just awful. But I did like the commercial about how watching the Superbowl when your team wasn't in it was like watching some other guy dance with your girl. It is a lot like that. Well, no way Manning will retire now. He won't want that game to be the last one he plays. So we have that to look forward too. Now begins the loooong wait for Spring Training. At least we'll have the Olympics to distract us.

I'd blame the god damned government that thinks it has more right to your earnings than you do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM Yes.. the government.. You know something mkreku, in all the years we've been posting on these boards I don't remember ever expending a single pixel or byte telling you how f---ed up Sweden is, or what I think Sweden is really like. Or what I read on the internet about what Sweden is really like. I always figured that since I've never actually lived there... how would I know. Imagine that.

Hey, I think there might be a football game on today. I seem to remember hearing something about that around all the hoopla about commercials and halftime shows.

I'd blame the god damned government that thinks it has more right to your earnings than you do.

Sam Adams IPA. I'm not a big IPA fan in general but these folks can do no wrong in my book.

I really haven't been watching much this season except for a few Grizz games but that thumping OKC handed the Heat the other night, especially after trailing by so much, really made me smile!

Just finished "Red Sniper" by Josef Pilyushin. He was a Red Army sniper during the siege of Leningrad. It's a great book that shows a lot of what the day to day life of a WWII Russian soldier was like. Now reading Rin Tin Tin by Susan Orlean about all the dogs that have played the role and how they were trained. Also re-reading 1984 for the third or fourth time. The parallels are really scaring me.

This morning I took Tommy out to do his business. I set a cup of coffee on the porch rail, walked over to the edge of the porch to knock down the ice from the gutter. By the time I got back to the coffee cup it was starting to freeze. That's too freaking cold. Needless to say I didn't go back out after that.

I believe it is massless, and weight is dependant on mass, so I don't believe so. I may br wrong. Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of connection between mass and energy? Theoretically

What is it about lawyers and scotch? I've got so send you so genuine Kentucky small batch bourbon. The kind you won't find at home (or would have to pay a kings ransom for if you did). I promise you'd never look to the British Isles for your booze again!

Calax we have got to find you a girlfriend!

The funny thing is if folks see a man in public with a gun as long as he isn't acting weird or threatening anyone it really doesn't get much thought. But if you see a guy with a sword the automatic assumption is that he's nuts even if he's not doing anything wrong. At least that's how it is around here. I'd still go for the reloading supplies. Besides, I'm sure you heard the story about the guy who brought a sword to a gunfight. It's a pretty short story.

I made pan seared bream (a type of freshwater fish) with red beans and rice. Only I went somewhere even less fancy that where Enoch got his: Cold Creek. It took longer to get them but you can't beat the price. It was pretty good too.

I've got tickets to see the Grizz play the Pelicans on Monday. Memphis has been a real disappointment so far this year.

No one here meets that description... yeah right!

Dealing with a massive bout of insomnia. Sex followed by two highballs of Knob Creek didn't even help. But compared to what some of you folks are dealing with... I have no problems. Might as well get some work done.

In the NFL in the US, why do teams fire coaches who have failed only to replace them with coaches who have failed elsewhere? Wouldn't it save a lot of time to keep the failure you have? The length of time a dog spends selecting that perfect place to poop is inversely proportional to the temperature outside, but only when he knows you're waiting for him.

I know exactly how you feel Trashman. I lost a two family members over the years. One of them could have been saved had it been caught in time. Heck we've lost two members of this very board to cancer in recent months. The best thing anyone can do is take care of their bodies, you only get one. And make the most of every day you have, sick or healthy.

Happy belated B-Day KP!

Walsie I just believe that human beings would rather do the right thing in life than the wrong thing, I believe in the inherent good of people. And even though this may make no sense in the political bedlam of places like the Middle East I still think people would rather live in a prosperous and stable country than a country wracked by violence. Its up to the leaders of those countries to make the correct decisions to uplift there citizens to the standards of Western countries, yes it will be hard but its not insurmountable I used to think this way. I was forcibly disabused of that notion though. Once you see what's behind the curtain you don't believe in magic anymore!

Today (yesterday actually) I did nothing. Literally nothing. First time in a long time. It felt pretty good! The snow is starting to melt now so today I'll get something done.

You guys should look into solar panels. I installed two 18x12 and it has cut my bills by a third easy

Now, GO SAINTS. I'm not a fan but I just HATE the Eagles.
