First off: You all suck at returning favours. Dammit.

Second: You're the pajama industry's worst nightmare.

rickj gave me the letter G. I must mention 10 things that start with that letter. If you want a letter, just shout out.

The G-Unit.

Garou: I enjoyed Werewolf:the Apocalypse way back when. I'll admit, I can be easy to please, but I even enjoyed the first ed tribebooks, which apparently marks me for judicious termination.

Gas: Since I own a Smart, I don't buy gas anymore. I buy diesel, and a whole lot less of it.

Gaunt Man: Never really dug TGM, really; he seemed too cocky, even for a high lord. And Orrorsh just seemed like a bad idea, what with it's required PC deaths. Very against the base concepts of Torg. Nile Empire, however, that was cool.

Guns: Never fired one. Odd, since I've been in the boy scouts, the reserve, and Atlanta. I'm sure, as Jack Thompson will aver, years of video games have turned me into a cold blooded killer.

Gumbo: I enjoy all spicy foods, but a good Gumbo or Jambalaya will make me very, very happy.

Guest-Stars: My nickname for any actor who appears in one of Christopher Guest's largely improvised comedies. A talented, quick moving bunch, which includes at least a couple Canucks.

Guardian: Before he got all guilty and became Vindicator, James Macdonald Hudson (and can you HAVE a more English-Canadian name?) called himself Guardian. Okay, he called himself Weapon Alpha, too, but that doesn't start with a G. I don't know if he's ever come back from the dead permanently, but he was always a good character. Smart, charismatic, yet occasionally doubting of his actions.

Great Big Sea: I love these guys. A talented group of musicians from Newfoundland, they have taken the music of the Coast around the world.

George Lucas: Well, I guess he's finally come to his senses. Huzzah! Han shot first!

Green Lantern Corps: Okay, stretching a bit, but I enjoyed the tales of the Green Lanterns. The idea of this interplanetary police force empowered to do right was always cool. I'd rather read a good Tales of the GLC story than a solo tale with any of the human ones.

So, yeah. I'm going to bed now.

Book Meme:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

This is, in fact, significantly cooler than the book below it, which is Fast Forward's Book of All Spells

You have to know these people to get the comedy value, but the fact they 'cast' bnddbl07 as Frank and oakthorne and gwenix Brad and Janet is the greatest casting in human history.

adamjury as Riff Raff is actually one of those things that makes a bit TOO much sense.

Magenta & Columbie is also very, very amusing.

Today, I was beat up by a blonde chick for an hour. The night has gotten worse.

Ah, well.

On the plus side, I'm Canadian. ( meme ahoy )

Rules. You will follow them.

Now, from happy go lucky Australian (do ya'll recoil at the use of the term Ozzie?) eynowd, ( another batch of questions. )

I figured it would be harder, really. Eh.

Ultimate Gamer!! GM says drop 2d10, aanndd... you roll 93% !

What, are you a first generation gamer? Did you own the brown box?! Whatever you do in your spare time, gaming seems to be your job. Either you looked up the answers or you're the best of the best, the type that makes other gamers strive to know more. Just don't let the knowledge overwhelm the newbies, it tends to push them from the hobby. We all bow before you. You are the living nat 20, congratulations. I'm going to flee the scene now ;)

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on dice

Hey, look, kids! It's almost a meme!

"Pick stuff on your interests lists that isn't highlighted and talk about it like people care."

Dishonest play: I put this down as a companion to "honest work", even though I abhor honest work. I figure dishonest play is as good a description of any one of various hobbies as I can come up with.

Rich Dansky: Surprisingly enough, because he's just a hoopy frood.

The All-Star Squadron: A weak spot for WWII masked men, have I. The new Invaders is just shit, though. Since there's a ton of comics geeks out there, I presume I've just mis-spelled it.

The Bitter Guide: If you need to ask, you're not one of those goofs who's been asking "why are you bitter" for years now, as if that makes them clever. It was clever in mid-Clinton, folks. No longer.

The Justice Machine: Cheesy '80s comic. Enjoyable, in any case. And the Heroes Unlimited sourcebook (originally announced for Champions, curse Siembieda's eyes!) has good art.
