Okay, I am pulling a blog card today. My grandmother died yesterday morning of Alzheimer’s complications… and I feel a little out of step with the rest of the world who didn’t just lose their grandmothers yesterday morning. She died as she lived, bitching and laughing, until she passed out at last, and the fluid [...]

Pixar is the movie studio responsible for bringing us such delightful fare as Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and soon to be Toy Story 3. They created A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and WALL-E. Unfortunately they were also responsible for Cars and Up. So what’s the deal? How can you make so many [...]

Contest! Lena had a fun idea the other day while we were discussing a recent strip. It was number 567 where the heroes first enter the bar, The Ugly Thing Nailed to the Wall. Several readers had offered guesses as to what the ugly thing in question actually was, and after I told Lena the [...]

Plose and the Dragon DM: As you quietly make your way down the sloping tunnel, you perceive a reddish glow coming from up ahead, along with a rhythmic rumbling. Peeking around the corner you see that the glow comes from within the breast of the largest red dragon you have ever seen, the rumbling being [...]

As my Romanian friend next door likes to say, this video “has my heart.” Now I know that many of you are cute-o-phobes, and I’d suggest that you just skip this one. It is endearing and uplifting, and you likely won’t want to watch. I, on the other hand, got almost ten seconds into it [...]

Lena and I have been talking a lot about the afterlife recently. Is there one, what is it like, will you get to see your friends, do you have to see your family, does the cable ever go out, that sort of thing. If classical Christianity is to be believed then hell is forever burning [...]

I saved this for the Friday blog because it’s awesome, and I wanted you to have all weekend with it. This is an article I cadged out of my friend and fellow gamer Lloyd Brown, who among other things is responsible for much of the World of Kalamar campaign setting by Kenzer and Co. Enjoy! [...]

Every once in a while a video comes along that is just wrong enough to need to be shared with everyone in the whole world. I suggest watching it with a beer, for those of you who work at home. It starts amusingly enough, but then for me quickly became so ridiculous that I couldn’t [...]

Friday Geek-Out Because it’s come up recently and I was curious, I thought I’d ask what everyone’s opinions were concerning social lubricants while gaming. When I was young, all gaming pretty much went hand in hand with whiskey and pot, which led to some very memorable moments, and other moments which probably should have been [...]

When I was four or so my mom used to have me kept after (pre)school with a crotchety old woman everyone called “Nanny.” Nanny kept kids for extra cash, which was pretty normal back then. She never wore anything but an old house dress (think mu-mu, but way older) and we kids had to stay [...]
