I assumed Houg was a gnome.

I am looking forward to all the My Hot Med pics.

That night club stuff sounds like half the standup shows I have done.

If you can find it, watch "Dollman vs. The Demonic Toys".

Anyone notice how weak the 4 sided die sounds when rolled in the tower? Also, anyone notice the die that do the least damage in D&D do the most damage when you step on them barefooted in the middle of the night on the wat to the bathroom?

"He starts fucking the soup..." - Venturian Pie?

Wrong location.

I think Brus isn't an apothecary. I think he is an Australian philosophy professor.

Why didn't Brian mention he had some extra cream cheese?

This is a momentous occasion. This is the first group the party interacted with and didn't destroy everything.

If they had their wits about them, Damien could have a new riding steed. Rope the legs, web the head like a muzzle and daily speak to it until you gain full communication like Roy Rogers and Trigger, and you've got an acid spitting steed.

And no one called him a Glennishmoron.

Just what is missing in D&D deities...a god of PMS.

When the name of the planet was named on the map, "Venturia", it sounded like someone was Yankoviching the Red Elvises "Siberia".

Not sure who the guest guy is, but his act was totally, you guys are nerds, and I am not. I would have called him on it, and if he didn't change, I would have kicked his ass, literally. My bet is, if Sarah had the chance, she wanted this guy bad because of all the guys there, he is trying hard to ooze alpha male.

I know I am reviving a dead thread, but, in either a John Wayne movie, or Clint Eastwood, I think it was Big Jake, Little Jake, the dog's name was called Dog.

They did make one, back in the late 1980s. I remember Ned's kids reference it on The Simpsons. It was pretty awful. You got exp for not killing, etc, and spells were limited to miracles of the Bible. I never played because it sounded stupid, even as a former D&D player. It was like offering an O'Douls to a reformed alcoholic...why drink horse piss if it won't get you drunk?

My first experience was with a stack of Gygax' first edition, photocopied as encouraged by Gygax. My brother was at UNI in 1977, and got me into playing with him. Then when the first Players handbook came out, my friend and I traveled 300 miles to Lake Geneva and bought our copies from Gary himself, at thevTSR store. He claimed to be Ernie, and signed our new PHs as such, adding a comment that his brother Gary was an asshole. I then saved a week's pay to buy the other two books, Monsters Manual, and the DM Guide. I studied the books like they were holy scripture. A couple years later, I became a Christian, and due to the bad press of suicides and influenced by that horrible Tom Hanks D&D made for TV movie, I burnt all three in a burn barrel. Around 1989, I met some RPG guys and played all kinds of games, and I realized IT'S JUST A FRICKEN GAME! NOT A DEMONIC RECRUITING PAMPHLET! We played Runequest, GURPS, Top Secret, Boothill, but my favorite was Toon. In 1992, I got married, but my wife didn't play. My books sat dormant for a couple years until I found another group. I stopped buying anything by the time WotC bought everything. After finding Nerd Poker, I am ready to find a new group.

My theory is that Vern is Jim Varney.

A movie made in 1969, about 2 half brothers that trick the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels to be accomplises in robbing Caesars Palace. It even has Sonny Balger, the real godfather of the Hells Angels, in a talking role. It was a major hit in 69, and for a few years afterwards due to how movies were distributed back then.

Ernest is very intelligent, but his intelligence is hindered by his lack of self-esteem. Bad Ernest is what Good Ernest would be with confidence but lacking Good Ernest's moral compass. You see a glimpse of confident Good Ernest when he gets the special powers.
