How in the world, with all my internet savvy, did I ever manage to live in a world where I didn’t know about instructables.

Here is the full text of the Patton Oswalt Star Wars bit. It is hilarious but NSFW.

So I am dreaming,
and my girl is at my front door,
no reason,
it’s just a Tuesday
and she has the key,
to many things,
currently every thing I call home,
including her.

So I am awake
and she is sleeping,
after a long and winding talk,
from philosophy,
to Babylon 5 and more,
I have this quiet moment,
I realize,
I love it
when she softly snores.

I am both a book-keeper’s son, and I don’t want to be taken alive.

I don’t know about that hurting no one bit, I can think of a few people I would like to kick in the shins, or just generally beat up. I think, even though he is a boxer trained at whuppin’ midgets (i.e. people his size) I could take Uwe Boll.

In fact I throw the gauntlet down…I will fight you Uwe (as a rep of RevSF if they let me); and I will stomp you like a bug.

Also I would like to renew my combat card to fight Warren Ellis.

Kind of because he is an (entertaining) douchebag, and someone needs to have ridiculously challenged him to hand to hand combat as well.

So Joe send out the invites, I will fight both of those punks. I will even wear my luchador mask.

I just watched the Smallville season ender. The show ended in a cloud of meh. Several very predictable things happened, of which I thought the Lana voiceover vanishing act was the lamest. The show is frustrating to me on several levels. If Clark is being menaced on all fronts where the hell is his protector Martian Manhunter? Has his disappearance ever been explained? Plus I am getting really tired of the Kryptonian device deus ex machina. After all the coolness with the proto Justice League and so on for the show to spiral into this mess is really sad. Especially in light of shows like LOST that realize they are having some problems and turn around and fix them. Smallville better seriously get their act together when they come back for the next season.

My immediate response to a zombie uprising.

-Grab the Lorcin from the closet (sure it is a crap 9mm but it was cheap and
fun to plink rounds off, back off)

-Grab the ghurka and the survival pack and head for the car.

-go to brother Craig’s pad while calling zombie fighter chika one—Becky.

-Team up, run on the Walmart, kill anything that gets in our way.Stock up

-Head to the hills, kill all in way.

-Continue to kill all deadites.

Things I want to do to every celebrity I just read on the list of outrageous demands.

-Look them in the eye, constantly…agressively.

-Call them by name, often.

-If they have a ‘room schema’ give them the opposite.

-Spill drinks on them unapologetically.

-Kill the breakers during thier ‘ground breaking’ performance.

-Be finished with them, convince others to be finished with them and cut thier self importance off.

So many others need the money and resources these jackals devour.

Another post game night report. We started out with a round of fantasy Munchkin. We added the dungeon expansion into the mix. It added a fun goofy element to the game. I’m not sure I would want to use it all the time but it would be fun every now and then.

We then decided to play TCI’s Zombies!!! using every expansion but ‘The End’ and ‘School’s Out’. So we had some crazy card mixes, the Mall, the Subways and the Military Base at our disposal.

The city started small.

With the four players heading out in different directions.

The town quickly grew all over the place, it was a good thing we had built an even bigger game table.

There was a lot of back and forth and eventually all three (!) helipads were in play. I came close to winning a few times only to be killed back to town square as did pretty much everyone else.

The city got absolutely huge by the end of the game.

With me running for the pad in the mall, Phil and Becky zipping through the subway to fight over the city heliport and the team of Craig and Katie making a run on the army base helicopter.

After several reversals of fortune and some serious zombie stomping one victor snaged the last flight out of town. The lovely and resourceful Becky (note styling Team Cthulhu bowling shirt).

It was one of the most fun games of Zombies!!! I’ve played in a long time. If we had one or two more players it would have been absolute chaos.

I think next game night we are going to see a return to more RPG style fare. For those curious about our crew more informaion can be found over at teamcthulhu.org.

Today is Game Day!!!!

And I am whuppin’ up a big ol’ batch of blazin chili.

I believe on the agenda for tonight is Innsmouth Escape, maybe some Zombies!!!, and some other game TBD.

As always I will provide pictures.

I just mailed off my taxes. The queasiness has finally passed, I just wrote the largest check I have ever written in my entire life. While I understand a need to fund the infrastructure of society, the cheap scottish guy inside me hates to give away a dime to those people.

Well, at least it is finally over. Being self-employed is really great a lot of the time, this isn’t one of those.
