OOC III

[Zhym]

And we're thinking, what, high-level illusionist commanding hordes of kobolds?

[AleBelly]

Surely there is room for other villains. What about the fat evil ancient Dark Lord, Conrad Black, who monopolizes the scroll-scribing industry and spreads falsehoods that directly fill his coffers? Or the harpy variant SellineDyon? Her voice doesn't charm you, but makes you want to hammer iron spikes into your ears to make the sound stop (no saving throw).

[Zhym]

If we go with Canadian Tomb of Horrors, the big bad name suggests itself: Anorak.

[Zhym]

In fact, I think I have a name for the adventure: Toque of Horrors.

[onlyme]

As long as the taverns dont serve Canadian bacon... That would lead to too many game deaths.

[Zorroroaster]

How could I forget Conrad! Even his name is perfect.

Celine is a harpy in real life. True story.

[tkrexx]

Much like Hyde, I have no clue as to what's really going on here.

[Zorroroaster]

That's probably for the best.

Canadian Trivial Pursuit games are generally started, played and won within 10 minutes.

Seriously though. Where would your science fiction be without Shatner, Michael J Fox and Keanu? Your SNL without Lorne Michaels, Jim Carrey, Dan Akroyd, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, Martin. short, etc?

Hell, the creator of Superman was a Canuck, as was the writer of the novel that became Field of Dreams.

Secretly, y'all wanna be Canadians. Admit it.

[Zorroroaster]

Side note:

Shatner's costar James Doohan? Canadian.

Neo's Trinity? Canadian.

[Zhym]

I lived in Minnesota for 12 years. We're darn near junior Canadians.

Also: O Canada is an awesome national anthem that kicks the pants off of The Star Spangled Banner. There, I said it cause it's true.

[Keehnelf]

I'm from Maine and my mother's mother is Acadian.

When I was in college in upstate New York, folks from the Buffalo area would tease me about my Canadian accent

[enn.in.me]

Hey, I'm in Maine. Ayuh.

[Keehnelf]

Small world! You from Maine, or just residing there at the moment?

There's a nice Tim Sample bit about what it means to be from away that I was painfully reminded of as I typed that question

[enn.in.me]

From away. I started in Nebraska....

[AleBelly]

I'm headed back to my old stomping grounds - The Windy City - for a long weekend. I'm going to eat and drink my way through town so won't be too active over the next three days.

[enn.in.me]

I'll be in VT for CarnageCon, so ditto.

[onlyme]

You know, it's consistently the case that Ilfrien performs her best when facing off against the toughest possible enemy.

Just like Peyton Manning...

[Keehnelf]

Except that Ilfrien gave up on the prayer-before-battle thing early on...

[AleBelly]

Sorry everyone - strep throat made its way through our family this week after some travels. I'll send an update later today.

[Keehnelf]

Is anyone else seeing odd avatar switches besides me?

Also, be sure to save some of that healing for Ilfrien--we might need it when dealing with whatever's in that next room...
