@TiredEwok I love it. XD It tickles my inner kid.

@arkandel In one of the last campaigns I did for D&D, we had a drow in the party that taught everyone the Drow Hand Language. Like, we legit spent skill dots on it so we could have a nonverbal communication. We had a group chat that the DM was not in and used that as a means to convey quick nonverbal signals to one another.

@Aria said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

"Built-in shelf bras" in camisoles are a lie perpetuated by the patriarchy to make your boobs floppy and sore. Change my mind.

And there's never, NEVER any underwire. I'm sorry, but if I'm big enough to buy your 'XL' camisole, an extra layer of cotton and a band of elastic are NOT going to cover it!

@tinuviel TBF, its damn delicious no matter what they call it.

Bringing this thread back on course...

RIP Georgia Engel

Technically she died two days ago, but since the thread has been completely subsumed by the Notre Dame fire....

It's because Tinuviel was one part of Spider's crew of sycophants. He did some pretty terrible things as staff at her behest, then spent time trying to backtrack and cover for himself. In the end, he admitted his culpability and basically left MUSHing but for staying around MSB. In this case, Spider was the Wicked Witch of the West and Tinuviel was one of her many 'Flying Monkeys' on staff at... TR? I think it was still The Reach.

This was also many moons ago, and I for one, have long since stopped viewing him as some sort of mustache-twirling Snidely Whiplash caricature. I'll miss the guy.

Clearly none of you has seen Manos, Hands of Fate.

My nickname among my friends is Torgo.

The master would not approve!

You magnificent bastard. XD

@Sparks There is a distressing trend that's started growing in some areas of the country where an apartment complex will charge you not only a fee for breaking your lease early... but you will also owe them the 'remainder' of the rent on the lease. Which is really just disgusting since the main reason people break a lease early is because they can no longer afford the rent and have to move somewhere cheaper. This largely shows up in the low income/poor areas, too, making it doubly nasty as they're the people least likely to be able to afford such a penalty.

@Arkandel Pfft, you will go in there only to find that they have all been in there for three days without you knowing. They have managed to change the settings for the locks, the camera is set to motion capture only, and somehow the ten year supply of cat food is down to one.

The thing is... many of the tops stars from GoT either already had or have begun to have better careers already. Sophie Turner, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Iain Glen, Alfie Allen, Natalie Dormer, Jason Momoa.... they'll all done and been in blockbuster/cult classic movies in recent years (whether they are remembered or not) even Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Rose Leslie, and Rory McCann have been seen in major movies in the last few years. So I guess that leaves.. what.. Kit Harington, Isaac Hempstead, John Bradley? Maybe a few others? Shit, even Gwendolyn Christie has been in Star Wars now. Nathalie Emmanuel has been in both the Maze Runner trilogy and the Fast & the Furious franchise. Maybe Carice van Houten? She's got three movies in post-production for this year, though... Maisie has seen steady work since she started on GoT. She was in three movies and two shorts last year. They just hit post-production on The New Mutants, in which she plays Wolfsbane. She was also in a show called Gen: Lock this year. And she's currently filming a movie called The Owners.

Seems like most everyone has already received a fairly substantial boost to their career.

@Thenomain Peter Dinklage was just in Infinity Wars and Three Billboards, he's currently doing voicework for two animated films based on hot IP's (Angry Birds and The Croods), he's rumored to be doing The Wild Bunch, is in pre-production for The Thicket, and has been announced in The Dwarf. He's made his mark and is here to stay.

@insomniac7809 I wasn't saying that he hadn't been a known quantity before. He was in Elf in 2003, Lassie remake in 2005, Death at a Funeral in 2007, Chronicles of Narnia in 2008, the OTHER Death at a Funeral in 2010, also when he did Pete Smalls is Dead. Ice Age was 2012, but close enough. And my personal fave... Knights of Badassdom in 2013. I'm just saying, he's hit massive mainstream audiences by being in a Marvel movie.

@insomniac7809 Oh it was terrible, but I own it and I watch it like once a month. XD

@Wretched said in RL things I love:

@Too-Old-For-This 'I am at the main office is this right?' is coide for 'i didn't even try to read the delivery instruction s and instead of the no hassle delivery I wan'ted i now have to put on some fucking shoes and come after you like i was god damned Balto.

Oh no. Mama don't trek for food. If I'm paying a delivery fee PLUS tip? Your ass is coming to my HOUSE. Not the front of the park, not the main office, not three doors down on the wrong side of the street. MY HOUSE.

Godzilla King of Monsters was goddamn majestic and I will hear nothing against it! The human element was as thoroughly gone into as it needed to be to move their part of the plot along, which was just enough to remind us that yes, this is a kaiju world... but we still live in it too. And that's where it should be. Because its a fucking kaiju world we just live in it.

@Sparks Olives are gross. And oregano is the devil. Its an herb that easily overpowers everything it touches, yet its thrown about with casual abandon.

@Sparks The olives are just a personal preference. But yes, too many places spread oregano like its cheese.

These are a little pricier, but I use them on literally every window in my house, that's how well they work. Linked both curtains and rods because OMG the curved rod is the best for that evil 'side-sun' that glares at you from between curtain and window.

@Macha Lost Boys night it is. Raising a glass, Mr. Schumacher!

FUCK

@wretched And now I realize that yes, in fact, a trained monkey can do my job because I do my job... and I was trained.
