The Lateshift: Its just like confetti for your brain

00:04 / 12.07.04

Well its something O'clock on a sunday,
the regular crowd shuffles in...

00:09 / 12.07.04

Oh, Kegboy. What was wrong with the last lateshift? It was getting so fat and plump and succulent, I’d hoped we could have just kept stuffing it with posts until Christmas. Or something. Look, it’s getting away now, while it can still waddle.

Pah. Anyway, are you well?

00:10 / 12.07.04

GAAAAAAAHHHHH! -Attacks the Billy Joel song with vigorous brutality.- NONE OF THAT!

00:12 / 12.07.04

I know, but I just had to go and create on before someone else did. Its been a while since the lith had an honest to goodness accept no immitation Keggers Lateshift.

I felt we were due.

Im doing all right. Could be better, as always could be worse.

00:14 / 12.07.04

CARP! Ok...now that I've just started something I've got to go. I'll be back in about 15 min. to 1/2 hour as the kid wants to use the computer before bedtime.

(But we loves that Billy Joel song...its our precious and we loves it forever!!)

00:15 / 12.07.04

We used to go through a lateshift every couple days. Lately they've been lasting weeks. What's happened to us?

I blame you, Billy Joel. I blame you.

00:21 / 12.07.04

Only Billy Joel song I’ve ever, ever heard is ‘Uptown Girl'. I don’t quite know how I’ve managed that. But I just know I won't appreciate his sound based on my feelings about his look.

Btw, Sally, I was shocked and disappointed to have read that you flew through Britain without stopping off for a few hours. I would even have dragged myself to the capital for the chance to buy such a distinguished barbe-legend a drink. Next time.

00:23 / 12.07.04

Gah. Actually, “shocked and disappointed” is over-egging it somewhat. Sorry to have missed you, I mean.

00:24 / 12.07.04

I thought about announcing my presence, but unfortunately my layover in lovely lovely England was all of an hour each way, most of which was spent scurrying from terminal to terminal. I was saddened, since that one-hundred-fifty-some-odd minutes in England was easily the most relaxing part of the trip.

00:28 / 12.07.04

I was going to try and provoke a mini-barbemeet in the airport, but I don't think anyone would've made it past security. And airport bars are kinda steep.

00:33 / 12.07.04

We could have brought some booze out to Heathrow. And catapulted vodka jellies at you across the security barriers. Perhaps it wouldn’t be as comfortable, or as normal as just sitting in a bar and shooting the breeze, but who wants to be normal? It’d be kinda shifty, somehow.

00:39 / 12.07.04

We would've been so thoroughly arrested. It would've been a tale to tell the future generations.

00:53 / 12.07.04

having vodka jellies catapulted at me is something I will now declare to be a goal in my life.

00:55 / 12.07.04

I wonder if one can make pudding with Irish cream the same way you can make Jell-o (tm) with alcohol.

00:58 / 12.07.04

Mentionpudding and suddenly Im recalling The Wall...
"How can you have your pudding if you dont eat your meats?"

But Irish cream pudding sounds devine.

01:11 / 12.07.04

Irish puddings frighten me.

01:12 / 12.07.04

I’m off to bed. Nice speaking with you both. And the pair of you - next time you’re passing through Heathrow, just pm me and I promise I’ll speed out to catapult vodka jellies at you. I'll do that thing for you. You can only be arrested if you fail to catch them with your mouth, remember. Such is British law. By royal decree you have a right to get totally smashed on any amount of airborne booze; but spill some on the public highway and the rozzers will have you. Kinda thing.

Night love.

I wonder if this applies to Canada too then?

01:14 / 12.07.04

Oh, yeah, Good Night BH!

Silly me

01:16 / 12.07.04

I wonder if this applies to Canada too then?

Yes. Except Quebec.

01:16 / 12.07.04

Nooooo! (Is that reason enough to declare Jyhad! Im confused on the rules nowadays)

01:24 / 12.07.04

In Quebec, in accordance with the Louis Quatorze's Trousers Doctrine, all dessert based alcohol shots delivered across a border and/or turnstile must be propelled by Badmitton racket.

This seldom works.

01:27 / 12.07.04

AH yes I recall that in history class. It seems the voyageurs (fur traders) were sent to get some animal pelts and instead returned drunk and pelted the King with jello shots. Many were beheaded.

01:27 / 12.07.04

So to answer your question, you can declare Jyhad, but only if you can make a reasonable case for Louis XIV's continued existence as a vampire. You'll have to roll your personal irony against a difficulty of the overall silliness of the idea plus 1d20. And god help you if you didn't select the special badmitton skill during your character creation.

01:28 / 12.07.04

I stoped playing since the brought in D20 rules. Crap on them. I want to spend 40 minutes trying to figure out my thaco using a 4 sided

LOL! If thats all it takes Im gonna be the worlds greatest bank robber!

01:55 / 12.07.04

You might at that. The tellers won't make difficulty roles either.

the cat's iao

02:01 / 12.07.04

Don't you fucking look at me!

Hi folks.

02:03 / 12.07.04

GAH! Jesus. First Billy Joel, then Frank. Criminy. Anyway. Hi.

02:08 / 12.07.04

Hey, if you make a save vs. magic, then do you get to see the person wearing the hat?

02:12 / 12.07.04

only if you're wearing your bracers +3 vs illusion

02:14 / 12.07.04

Or if you selected the special ability "Obliviousness unaffected by hats." Few do, since it kind of reads like a flaw. The fools.
