  1. Oh, and now for the other shoe:

    For anyone who can make their miserable, hapless, pointless way to Minnesota on November 20th, the current intent is to have a 'Firefly' marathon at Dalem's. The episodes will start around 10 or 11 am (whenever I can get Dalem to let me in the door), and continue without let-up until we watch 'Serenity'. Since it's a 'theme movie day', there will be food throughout, focusing on fresh fruit (such as strawberries), chinese food, and cowboy food. These are the identified necessary foods, so far.

    Episodes will begin with the Pilot (as envisioned by Joss Whedon), and proceed in order (as envisioned by Joss Whedon), and culminate in the movie (as necessitated by the clueless and currently Damned for Eternity bastards of the Fox Network, who failed to recognize greatness, probably because they were too coked out (and busy trying to spin history to fit a right-wing agenda).

    Think I can make it at about 8:00 AM Sunday morning.

    I'll bring the noisemakers.

  2. First rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club…

    THE RULES then, short and sweet:

    S) Go away.

    O) Go even further away.

    D) {***sigh***} If you’re still reading this, you’re still too close. But if you insist, PAY ATTENTION!, or go away.

    O) This is the Peng Challenge. Challenge someone SPECIFIC, just make sure it’s not Peng. Try a newbie SSN such as yourself, not a Knigget or an Old One. If you don’t know what a SSN, Knigget, or Old One is, go away.

    F) The key word being CHALLENGE, sound off like you have inherited a pair from someone other than your pet hamster. If you can’t manage this, go away.

    F) Do not sound off about your pair. Try to act like you have a modicum of wit, style and panache OR Half of a Brain. If you won’t keep this thought in your Half of a Brain, we will boot it to the other Half, and you will go away.

    !) If you have any questions at all, post absolutely NOTHING! We will get back to you at our earliest inconvenience. And go away (are you starting to see a trend here?).

  3. You know, I've never had to actually shout at you for 15 minutes to get you to accept reality.

    Good gods, man. Do you realize you were arguing on the basis that 'cards are something you can hold in your hand?'

    You were 2 minutes away from telling us all that 'shoes could be discarded at the end of a turn, because they were hard to hold in your hand, and, in any case, were meant to go on your feet.'

    Fred is going to love this game.

  4. Of course. Lars merely speaks a polyglot of 'Western Metro Lakeside', 'Mound Exurb Third Convocation' and 'Extremely Goofy Drunk Danish Bastard'.

    Hell, I learned the first of those before I ever left High School, picked up the second working with Bail Bondsmen, and a life of aimlessness and chemical use left me fluent in the third.

    On any given night, I can translate Lars with a 95% accuracy rating.

    Hell, Lars can't translate himself with that much accuracy.

    Should I mention his latest bit of illogic when he tried to explain that a 'Card Held at the End of a Turn' was the same thing as 'A Card You Can Hold In Your Hand'? And by 'hold in your hand', he appeared to mean 'unlike the cards you can hold with your feet'.

    Seriously, playing a game with Lars is like watching chipmunks do gymnastics. You can see it happening, it's bizarrely and even impressively athletic, but there doesn't seem to be any point to it.

    You just keep wishing the cat would come out and bite his head off.

    In my defense, I looked it up the next day on the relevant forum, and there was a two page thread on whether or not you could discard a scoring card on that part of the Space Race, only settled by the designer of the game himself weighing in.

    Besides, what's a good wargaming session without a rules fight?
