I loved it! Especially Kurt--i thought Tom Pelfry did an outstanding job playing him.

There is a grand total of one person with Nazi tattoos who deserves something other than being shunned and driven into the wilderness to die, and Platner ain't it.

I thought she had JFK's rib removed so he could suck her's.

I mean, I'd do my absolute best to convince the lawyers that I'd be objective, all while getting ready to scream "INNOCENT! INNOCENT! INNOCENT!" when the time came, but I'm not that convincing, it'd never work.

Getting twelve people together who would all say they were objective about the crime...impossible. Nobody's going to say that about the bodyguard.

I trust Dolly. Even in Burninator form.

Oh, geez. Yeah, if Dolly did a heel turn, what else could we do but say, "Oh, well done!"

Writing up some guidelines for the Mesopotamian game regarding an underemphasized aspect of divine beings: that while form follows function is true for architects, function follows form is true for divine beings, so that cat god in the shape of a big cat is going to be a sucker for catnip.

Here. Everything's awful, so let's take a moment to soak in the voices of these lovely men:

If Dolly were to give a press conference and announce she has a surprise, and then tear off her human skin to reveal herself as Trogdora the Burninator, about half of Bluesky (Yr Hmbl Crrspd't included) would immediately swear fealty to her and join whatever crusade she was leading.

Rather pay someone to do it--I can afford it, and I'm sure someone could use the money.

I am a moderately competent cook when given a decently worded recipe, but I am an utter and complete failure when it comes to anything involving dough.

Partly because I think freshly made bread tastes a bit better than bread made from frozen dough, partly because I'd like to do this for my wife during the day (while I'm at work), and partly because I want to pay someone rather than use frozen dough.

Aha! Thank you!

Yeah, that's kind of a deal killer for me.

And! Unlike just about every other bakery job I've ever heard of, I would *not* require the baker to get up at 2 am or whatever. Drop by the house around 10 or 11!

I'd rather pay a person.

Sadly a search for "freelance bakers houston" does not turn up any good candidates.

I've decided that what I need is for a baker to come to my house 2-3 times a week and bake either a loaf of bread or a pile of croissants or a some baguettes or some focaccia. Something that's going to fill my house with the smell of freshly baked bread.

I will pay for this. I need it.

And it's not like we writers of non-fiction can rely on lots of casual reviews or word-of-mouth or any of the other things writers of fiction can.

I'm probably going to end up putting more free material online for this game than anyone else ever has, but I've just got so much stuff written already that won't fit in a book, so I might as well just make it available for free.
