Yeah, it's been one of those nights.

ETA: I just realized that the server I was on when this happened was Excelsior. This is now one million times more hilarious.

[20:20:30] <Captain_Vittles> ...was that a Voyager joke?
[20:20:43] <Tarinaky> It was a reference to a bad episode.
[20:21:05] <Captain_Vittles> Yeah, I remember.
[20:22:48] <JadeNSC> So you're referring to about half the series?
[20:23:01] * JadeNSC kids. She liked Voyager...even the Warp 10 episode. SHUT UP
[20:23:21] <JadeNSC> It was so bad it was good. Like crack.

[20:25:42] <JadeNSC> ...um, oops?

Okay, so I was feeling pretty shitty, but not so shitty that I can't enjoy some schadenfreude. This came up during a discussion about all the ways in which previous guild games have failed. FFRPG Monster Hunters has only been going for maybe a month now, and already they're chugging along on the SS Failboat.

[00:31:26] <Anonymous> And ... uh ... FFMH [FFRPG Monster Hunters]... well ... okay so the head GM designed monsters specifically so his wife's character would be good against them.
[00:31:27] <Anonymous> And told us.
[00:32:27] <JadeNSC> ...are you serious?
[00:32:34] <JadeNSC> Saan really has been stupid.
[00:32:37] <Anonymous> Yeah.
[00:32:40] <Anonymous> I almost quit right then.
[00:32:43] <JadeNSC> (And can I quote you? >.> I'll hide your name.)
[00:32:53] <Anonymous> Oh, yeah.
[00:32:59] <Anonymous> He told the whole channel.
[00:33:08] <Anonymous> It's common knowledge.
[00:33:23] <Anonymous> It's also common knowledge he FAILED.
[00:33:29] <Anonymous> Which is amusing.
[00:33:48] <Anonymous> Because he designed the monsters against his wife's character ... if she had leveled in BigMo's session.
[00:33:57] <Anonymous> But BigMo canceled due to lack of players.
[00:34:05] <Anonymous> So she didn't have the spell.
[00:34:12] <Anonymous> Made me laugh.

At least my instincts to stay away from this campaign were right on the money. (They were right about Triumph too, but I told them to shut up that day and that I wore the important decision-making pants. Someday I'll learn to listen better.)

Elisha, today's Darths and Droids made me think of you for some reason. :P

Also, two requests inspired by the same post in one community (no, really, same post):

1) Can we please stop this stupid association that "thin" = "healthy"? Thin people get heart disease, high cholesterol, and *gasp* diabetes too.

2) This idea that all pagans everywhere all around the world worship, revere, and seek to balance themselves with nature also needs to go. Not all of us focus on nature, okay? Please quit acting like I should, too. My path is not yours.

ETA: Adding this bit because it's totally related and hilarious:

[10:38:51] <JadeNSC> A pagan community of all places had a post about "ONOZ teh fatties!" and went on about being healthy and blah, blah, blah.
[10:39:22] <JadeNSC> I warned that it's dangerous to keep associating thinness with health. I can point to examples in my own family.
[10:47:57] <JadeNSC> She was all "OMG there are so many obese people in our community! Shouldn't we be talking about it?!?!"
[11:05:31] <WorkWeazel> lol. there's a weight-loss group thing at work, I keep asking my supervisor when those of us that are fat and happy about it get to take company-sponsored hour-long breaks. >_>
[11:05:51] <JadeNSC> rofl
[11:05:58] <JadeNSC> NO such thing as being fat and happy. <.<
[11:06:18] <WorkWeazel> madam every panda in the world begs to disagree. >_>
[11:06:27] <JadeNSC> rofl

I less-than-three him so much.

[20:14:06] <Gullwhacker> Just think of your puppies.
[20:14:30] <@JadeNSC> >.O Right as you said that, one of them just passed gas while sitting under my feet.
[20:17:33] <Gullwhacker> So, business as usual?
[20:17:39] <@JadeNSC> Yeah.

The kicker was that the dog responsible was Sasha. Usually it's Penny who runs me out of the room...

Random chat silliness:

* JadeNSC invents a device that conveys intention along with text over the internet.
<JadeNSC> * 4Chan disappears overnight.
<Serigo|sleep> ...MURDERER!

<Nevena> SHAME, SHAME!
<Newbie_X> I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ;_;
<Doman> hahahaha
<Newbie_X> It's all we have, I swear!

Random injury reports:

While opening a new package of the kiddo's underwear, the plastic container broke, and a piece of it shot into my face. I'm surprised it didn't leave a mark because it hurt like hell. When I die, it will be due to some freak accident that will never again be repeated in the history of man. It'll probably involve duct tape, and the story will not be told in polite company.

Random kiddo silliness:

He tried to convince me that Coco Puffs are a suitable dinner substitution. I'm not buying it.

Regarding this image someone linked to (SFW): http://pics.livejournal.com/mytimetoheal/pic/00039xh6

[22:10:30] <JadeNSC> lol at spiderman
[22:10:54] <Galen> And yes, that is an actual panel. I think from one of the She-Hulk comic series.
[22:11:25] <JadeNSC> ...
[22:11:53] <Galen> I think Spider-Man was suing JJJ for libel.
[22:12:25] <Galen> With Jennifer Walters, AKA She-Hulk, as his attorney.
[22:12:38] <Galen> It's a strange series.
[22:12:56] <NinjaWeazel> I like the Trial of Juggernaut.
[22:13:03] <JadeNSC> Wow. You just totally got your nerd on up in here.
[22:13:16] <Galen> Yes. Yes, I did.
[22:13:19] <JadeNSC> And what good timing that I come across this.
[22:13:20] <JadeNSC> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v704/GutterG33K/ummmm.jpg
[22:14:29] <Galen> ...is it sad that I know who that character is, too? ^_^;
[22:14:41] <JadeNSC> >.>
[22:14:47] <NinjaWeazel> neeeeerrrrrrrrd
[22:14:50] * JadeNSC will plead the fifth.
[22:14:51] <NinjaWeazel> :-p
[22:15:22] <Galen> Actually, technically, I should be pleading the fifth, since it would be incr -holy shit I'm doing it again. o_o
[22:15:22] <Galen> :p

My friends can cheer me up, even when they don't know I need it.

Background: Justin is playing a Summoner again and going with Ifrit for his first summon. While we were talking about certain "tells" he could have so people might be able to pick up on the fact his character isn't exactly a normal elf, I remembered the cab driver from American Gods and Justin read the scene (he just hasn't read the book yet).

[20:09:25] * N_X[Semi-AFK] thinks... you know, that thing with the Ifrit short-story did give some ideas. (...before you ask, no I was not thinking of suggesting that Dorian start his first change into Ifrit form after a late-night homosexual tryst with Ifrit. >_> )
[20:09:54] <JadeNSC> (Aw, but my campaign is lacking in yaoi. :( )

My campaign is still lacking in yaoi. :(

[15:42:32] <WorkWeazel> ... damn it. lol. I had a train of thought, completely lost it, and forgot what the hell I was going to say
[15:43:26] <WorkWeazel> I'm getting all senile and shit.
[15:44:47] * JadeNSC laughs.
[15:45:05] <JadeNSC> Time for me to trade you in for a newer model?
[15:45:06] <JadeNSC> :p
[15:45:33] * WorkWeazel chuckles. "Probably, but you won't."
[15:45:38] <WorkWeazel> :-p
[15:45:57] <JadeNSC> So confident. :p
[15:46:09] <WorkWeazel> you're like these people that call me up using Windows 98 'its a perfect good operating system. >:|'
[15:46:13] <WorkWeazel> :-p
[15:46:57] <WorkWeazel> god I'm such a geek. lol. I'm lucky you think it's hot.
[15:48:02] <JadeNSC> ...rofl

Of course, the fact that I laugh does not make it any less true.
