Umbrage? Oo-oo-oooh, someone's flirting with the Dark Side there, from what I know about that mumbo jumbo!

Pfft.  The Jedi want everyone to be emotionless robots.  Not exactly a grand way to live one's life.

A little bit of anger is a healthy thing.

[ At the mention of emotionless robots ]

*muttering* >> http://rimearth.net/wheely_nagnagbollocks.mp3

You want to figure I meant you, you obviously emotional robot, go right ahead...

Had some computer issues today, which basically chewed up all of my free time.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with stuff tomorrow.

I'm heading off on a business trip for a few days - I'll be back on Friday, though I expect my posting will be somewhat curtailed at that point.

:)

So... who is interested in a stroll around the area to try and find out more information?

Rhijans, Reldan, and Jihon are probably not the best volunteers here, since they each have a vehicle to take care of, which leaves Mark, Neary, Shard and Shisskurr... so who wants to stay with the truck, and who wants to go get in trouble do some reconnaissance?

You know...I'm going to be away from the 12th to the 18th, with little to zero chance of posting.

It might be better for Shard to stick with the truck. :(

I'm fine with babysitting the truck...and even keeping Shard with me.  She may come across as a bitter, cynical, burned out husk of a person, but that's kinda what I like about her...*grin*

I agree that I'm probably not the best volunteer, but I'm okay with either choice if it becomes necessary for me to leave.

[dryly] You're too kind.

.....

Backhanded compliments are better swallowed when offered with a drink.

:)

LOL
I only suggested the idea so that we'd have something to do.
Nothing drives a GM to tears more than having PC's that won't do an action :)

Now let me see if any of my skill set would be good for getting into trouble ;)

...you need skills for that?  *suspiciously*  Are you sure you're a player character?

I'll remember that next time we're in a bar.  I don't generally carry booze on my person--there's only so much space for gear, and rust remover whiskey has never really been a priority piece of my kit. *grin*

*scribbling*  ...more...free...booze...

Boo... boo... boo...

There's ya free booze - three boos, geddit?  *sigh*  My comic talent is wasted in this joint.

Okay... there are two new threads.  One for the scouting group, and one for the truck and its escorts.

I might not have a chance to post before I go.  :(  Might, might not.

If not, everyone have a good weekend and week!  See you later!  (Perhaps the 20th)

In reply to The Force (msg #191):

Tens of thousands of stand-up comics out of work around the world, and he starts making jokes...

*grin*

Asked for this, you did.  Mmmm...

Luke and Obi-Wan are in a Chinese restaurant and Luke's having trouble.
Finally, Obi-Wan says, "Use the forks, Luke."

Darth Vader and Luke are fighting.
Suddenly in the middle of the battle, Darth Vader pulls Luke to him, and whispers "I know what you're getting for Christmas!"
Luke exclaims "But how??!?"
"It's true Luke, *breath* I know what you're getting for Christmas."
Luke tries to ignore this, but tears himself free, screaming "How could you know this?!"
Vader replies, "I felt your presents."

Yoda and Obi-Wan walked into a bar and bought a 5 credit drink.
Yoda, seeing that he only had 4 dollars asked Obi-Wan, "Have a credit do you? A little short I am."

One day Luke gets fed up with life as a farmer so he goes to see Old Ben the local magician.
Luke: Ben I'm really fed up being a farmer can you turn me into something else?
Ben: Like what?
Luke: Well I guess it would be cool to be a Dewback.
Ben: Ok but only if you're sure.
Luke: I'm sure all right but let me go off and have one last drink as a human.
Luke goes off to have his drink.
Owen and Beru are getting worried so they go and see Old Ben to see if he knows where Luke is.
Owen: Hey, Ben, have you seen Luke today?
Ben: Yes. He's gone for a drink but he won't be Dewback until later.

ROLL CALL

Mark Jacobs is in the house :)


Did we lose Shisskurr?

Rhijans Thanus, sounding off (not to be confused with 'signing off') for the roll call.  (Of course, the observant have probably already figured out I was still around, so...)

I'm still here.  Well, in body.  Mind, occasionally not.

I'm still here.

And, no, we didn't lose Shisskurr.  Or Jihon Mogg, for that matter.
