  1. The thought alone is immensely gratefully received.
  2. Really peckish now. Holding my ground because am on short rations. Not dieting exactly, but just eating slightly less/slightly better. Going to have sausages for breakfast tomorrow. Something to look forward to.
  3. Not necessarily. While, historically, the appropriations resolving past federal funding gaps have provided back pay for the furloughed workers, there is no guarantee of such, and there are reasons to suspect that doing so might not be the highest priority of the folks on the Hill. We federal civil servants aren't exactly the most popular folks around. At least the weather is incredibly nice. Although I have spent an embarrassingly large portion of the day with Crusader Kings II, I took a bike ride earlier, and I've got some flank steak marinading to grill this evening. For reasons that are too complicated to go into, I have decided that Enoch's job is to be the voice of the statue of Abraham Lincoln.
  4. If Tolstoy saw that comeback he'd punch you right in the ear.
  5. I've been trying out a khemri team. They just can't pick up or throw the ball. Sure they have a strong cage, but they have to hold the ball to get it moving! Serrano has much mojo.
  6. I am good to go until 2145 GMT.
  7. And I've only posted a fraction of the strange stuff that happened to me during the past couple of months. Next thing you know your weapons will start speaking in tongues .....
  8. What kind of ****ing nutbag mentions umbrellas, but no towels? What kind of man cares about umbrellas? As my _sister_ is apt to point out: humans ain't made of sugar.
  9. I will say that I've seen high elf teams fumble the ball occasionally. I've not seen Serro do it even once! As soon as I can level up some mummy killers I'm coming back for him. I won't be happy until I've crippled at least two.
  10. Hardboiled duck eggs and black pepper, brown toast and butter.
  11. Wait, they have The Wire? I still haven't seen season 4.
  12. The only thing I've ever been on time for in my entire life is military parades. You know that lecture about stealing time? Well if anyone's going to have their time stolen it's not me. Plus as I've realised in the last few years I just enjoy the challenge of being late. Being on time is unspeakably boring.
  13. During a particularly heated moment (shortly after losing a three dice up bash) I called Serrano a "sandlocked mud****er" which in retrospect sounds awfully racist.
  14. Agreed. I diagnosed witches. Or daemonic possession. You're going to need an old priest and a young priest...
  15. Or they can be force fed to lazy journalists. But point taken, Raithe. I missed that bit about you finding the list amusing.
  16. I use a watch because it is more discrete than hauling my phone out to check the time. Not to mention I can do it while working with both hands. PLUS I can time things on my watch.
  17. Absolutely not. Netflix is an independent company, I drive by their building every day. It is the best way to catch up on Breaking Bad, it will take you through every episode except the last 7 or so. They typically get the seasons around the same time the DVD's come out. A lot of the other outlets will make you pay by episode or season, Netflix is just a monthly flat fee. Hmmm. Any other shows on there I might watch. I need three to justify the change in lifestyle.
  18. What you should have is enough self respect not to take advice from internet lists. The measure of a man is more than his stuff. No offence, Raitho.
  19. I don't. There is nothing wrong with laughing about sad / depressing stuff, a good laugh doesn't hurt anybody. He's not going to be funny when he's coughing up blood or weaving around 'drunk' with carbon monoxide poisoning. Not having a go at you for posting it. Just saying he's not necessarily an idiot, just desperate for work.
  20. An aside, but if you chaps are interested in post apocalypse survival, I presume you've read The Day of the Triffids?
  21. Isn't netflix run by Amazon? I'm sick of feeding that particular tiger.
  22. Shame, man. The real ***hole in this scenario is the bastard who's paying to do a job which needs protective equipment, and then leaving him to work without any. Seen this kind of **** too often over the years.
  23. Note to self: buy gun oil before next date.
  24. OK. I give in. What is the cheapest legit way to watch Breaking Bad from the first episode onwards?
  25. This is so obvious that I should have thought of it ages ago. Oby's author is an expat Russian. Maybe second gen. Hence all the joking and none of the poetry or intellectual rumination. I've never met an actual Russian who could resist the latter two.
