Re the picture. You look at the hat that yellow-vest is wearing, and you have to ask who the slicker is here?

I'm very lefthanded. Never had serious problems with it; the only sport I ever played much was soccer, where it doesn't matter much. There's always the minor stuff, of course: dragging my hand through the ink while writing in school, and power tools and electronics are all designed for right-handed use.

I use it to keep track of various relatives I don't see very often. I have yet to have any old schoolmates come looking for me, which is honestly something of relief. Having a fairly common name probably helps/hurts in this regard.

Ditto Bruce's comments. We just can't keep doing this forever. Not morally or something, literally, physically -can't-. Something's gonna give. If/when a GOPer gets back into the White House, it's gonna give all the faster. However, in the immediate term, speaking as a resident of Washington State, the chances of Dino Rossi unseating Senator Patty Murray are zero. (Especially if he continues to try and get by without the endorsement of the official/former Wingnut candidate.)

I'm a slacker who lives in the capitol of Washington state. Well, actually the next town over, but there are three cities that have smashed together in one big lump. Been coming to OW for several years now. Other sites I like are The Agonist, Balloon Juice, and The Exiled.

I like Oliver's site as well, but, yes, his unflinching support for the Racial Slurs leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. And unfortunately, at the moment, it appears his WWW address-redirect service isn't working..

I don't drink, but I was getting offered them in restaurants when I was 14. I've always looked about ten years older than I am..

As the Call of Cthulhu rulebook itself says: CoC is the only role-playing game where the big prize for finishing an adventure is a moldy old book which causes your face to melt off just for looking at the pictures... I also wanted to toss out another vote for The Awful Green Things, along with another Tom Wham-designed game, Snit's Revenge. Maybe not the best-designed games ever, but wonderfully goofy and light-hearted.
