Ben with lotsa numbers

Not exactly how it was described on my report cards in elementary but the meaning is the same.

a man in a suit and tie is making a funny face and says `` aliens '' . ALT: a man in a suit and tie is making a funny face and says `` aliens '' .

I know who to blame.

For those who may be unsure as to my views on the matter...

Yes.
Language is a toy.

I seem to end up featured on that hash with regularity.

Yeeeeees?

So "The D" does not taste like cock erel...

Okay. Good to know.

A lot?

That's sparky work. Outside my scope.

How seized is this impeller?

Well....

My 220 lb. (100 kg) self is standing on one end of a 4 foot (1.2 m) cheater bar while my 190 lb. (86 kg) partner stands on a 6 foot (1.8m) cheater bar.

Heat and hydraulics are the next options.

A view behind the DM screen for a ladt minute 1 shot.

Let's roll some dice!

Wheeeeeeeee........

That is the mascot of the most Midwestern fast food chain on existence, Culver's.

That is Curdis the Curd Nerd.

A Culver's "Curdis the Curd Nerd" mascot plushie sits on the dash of my work van. Off to the right a bright green hard hat sits with a Tupac/Constantly Screaming sticker from Flight Risk Mushing visible.

How Midwest am I you ask?

Nothing terribly exciting.
He was all ready to have to encourage people to cover Wounded Tech's on-call week.

He brought it up, I said it was already handled, and he spent a few minutes sifting through his notes trying to catch his yrain of thought.

Heeeeeelllllllllll no.

I'd rather wrangle cats.

I did somewhat derail the bossman's agenda though.

You want to know the truly ironic thing?

We've got an all techs meeting tomorrow morning.

Because one of my coworkers is out for a few weeks with a broken arm after getting cross threaded with a 4 foot (1.2 meter) ladder.

Also...

I get why I'm the pack's Ask This Old House.

How did I become OSHA as well?

Were I a military man the knife hand would be up.

Now I fully accept that there is a sliding scale of risk vs. reward.

So if you would please...

Enlighten me as to what incredibly important thing justified such unmitigated fuckery?

Hashtag who's going to explain to the dogs why you're not there anymore.

Correct.

I was coming back from a call and they were heading out on one. Judging by the hustle it was almost had to be a confirmed/showing w/ possible entrapment.

If a truck company is running like that I'm staying out of their way.

Felt my van rock as they roared past and there was more than a lane between us.

Dang...

Watch out folks, DFD Truck 3 is moving with purpose tonight.

I'm on OT.
Argue away.
😉

Don't get me startedon .ushers and "front pants".

To expand:

Stacky pants: each pair of pants is wearing a single pair of pants, fully pulled up, with one leg down each leg hole.

Fractal pants: each pair of pants is wearing two, smaller pairs, as low socks.

Stacky is more correct.

Worn as intended by design spec but to absurd excess.

Pants are designed to be worn by things with two legs.

Pants, in turn, have two legs.

Fractal Pants are by design and definition incorrect.

And our table of 8 started last spring with 2 DMs.

We now have 4.

And a couple of the crew are talking about running other sorts of rpgs.

I caught one flipping through my Mothership booklets and Blades in the Dark and I know she loves film noir. That game intrigues me to no end.

You'll appreciate this as well...

He's decided thattrackong all the monsters is enough of a job for his first time behind the screen.

We will be drawing the map as he describes it. If nobody notices the hidden door, the suspicious bit of floor, the side passage it doesn't get drawn...
