Germany is gone...

karma has a way to get you.

Had a very interesting discussion at work today. We were trying to determine why Princess Peach would be interested in a plumber. I said it's because he's rich, he's always getting coins everywhere he goes, he has a bitchin' Kart, but also the raccoon costume has to be a factor (AND he can also throw blick-blicks!) Coupled with the discussion as to what happens to your poo when you use the transporter, it made for a very interesting day.

(Southpark was on, and it's Johnnie Cochrane with the Chewbacca defense...Chef Aid, Chocolate Salty Balls, good tune! It really is too bad that Issac Hayes was a Scientologist, because it cost us one of the best characters ever. I can't believe they killed him after turning him into a child molester.)

I truly love being a geek. There are so many things you can enjoy from comics, to movies, to gaming, to modeling (of the plastic kind, can you actually see your average geek trying the OTHER kind of modeling?), to computers, and physics etc...No wonder the Big Bang Theory is doing so well on TV. (I still wonder why Bernadette was just written off the show? I guess she must have reached the guest star limit for union appearances on a TV show. Besides, Howard having a regular girlfriend was just taking away from his character's need to hit on all women.)

I think life needs a theme song, just like Peter Griffin.

My son is struggling to walk right now (at least it sounds like it). The house is air-conditioned, so heat can't be a factor (he's smiling at me right now.) It is almost bath-time, which is not my favourite time of the day, he splashes too much.

I think I may take a different direction with the blog for a little while. I think that David Letterman has a cool thing going with his Top Ten lists. I think perhaps I will start to list favourite things and why they are favourites. Maybe I can inspire any readers out there to check out some new stuff. I am going to start with favourite D&D Adventures (some I was a player, some I was a DM).

10 - Rahasia - I really enjoyed turning one player into a platinum statue. I particularly loved how the rest of the party melted him down to jewelry afterward instead of resurrecting him.

9 - Tomb of Horrors - I think we tried this 4 times and we never got past 5 encounters.

8 - Dwellers of the Forbidden City - I was able to use pieces from this on several occasions.

7- Ravenloft - Original as player, 3.5 version as DM - A classic tale, and one of the most interesting layouts for a dungeon ever conceived.

6 - Palace of the Silver Princess - I can't count how many times we did this one!

5 - Against the Giants - I am currently taking a party through this one (shhh, they might find out.)

4 - Castle Amber - Again, a great setting, with an interesting adventure in it.

3 - The Castle of the Kenku - I wrote this one, but I liked DMing it because of the shit room I created (with newspapers!)

2 - Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth - Iggwilv will always be one of the nastiest encounters ever.

and Number 1....

1. - The Horror on the hill - (as a Player), this was the first adventure I was on where I was beginning to feel like I knew what I was doing in this darn game. I still remember how happy I was when I killed the last bugbear in the prison.

Next time I will list top 10 Batman moments...take care
