(Ware...D&D geekiness incoming – Mr. Silver)
11:00 AM Mr. Yellow
So I was looking at a book on Waterdeep's noble families. From what I can tell this is going to be a bit costly for me as I will have to give 1% of my annual income to the city. But I so want the Lord title. And the manor, and the ability to have 70 armed troops in the city, a coat of arms and all my soldiers dressed up like musketeers with my crest on their tabards.
It is worth every penny.
11:03 AM Mr. Gray
LOL True!
11:04 AM Mr. Silver
Besides, as a lord, you are forgetting that the kickbacks, bribes, special considerations, social contacts and other fringe is going to be worth far more side income than the 1%.
11:04 AM Mr. Yellow
They had a better description of the Dung Sweepers guild as well. Wow! They are one of, if not the, poorest guilds. Good thing my father is also a cleric and got money from the church.
11:04 AM Mr. Yellow
I will have to throw a major party in my noble villa.
I get to meet with the lords as well, and I actually get to speak a bit and have my ideas considered. Well...I get to meet then when they are masked.
I do not necessary get to know who they are.
Hmm. Maybe I could even become one... nah, too much work.
11:13 AM Mr. Silver
Masked lords?
Just show up in a mask and talk anyway.
"Yeah, turns out I had a chance to pay 1% of my income a year for this thing, but I saw a kid in a shop trying one on for a copper piece, so..."
11:19 AM Mr. Yellow
Seriously, there are going to be some great parties going on. Might be a good way to start an adventure. I would have to invite all my old dear friends to come, and there is a temple of Gond in the district.
11:28 AM Mr. Silver
(Nobel at the party) "What ARE these cookies, Lord Derek? The brown chips...so strange but they're delightful!"
(Lord Derek) "Ah, well it's a gong farmer secret, of course, but I can tell you...the chips have a 'cookie-load' of sweetener in them to make them taste good...wink wink."
(Nobel) "Baaaaaaarfffff!"
(Derek) "Yes, that's why I don't eat them."
11:29 AM Mr. Yellow
LOL
12:24 PM Mr. Silver
Hehehe
12:26 PM Ms. Amethyst
Wow, must be nice!
12:27 PM Mr. Silver
Whatever will he do, only being able to fund a few Harvard educations a year?
12:28 PM Ms. Amethyst
A few? Try like 5-6.
12:28 PM Mr. Silver
Well he has to eat, too.
Note that he also implied he spends $200k a year on groceries.
That's only $547.57 cents a day!
12:43 PM Mr. Gray
OMG how can they survive?!
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
So apparently today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day
8:09 AM Ms. Amethyst
Haha! Oh really now?
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
And though it is a subject near and dear...
Honestly, I believe the privateer I was in a past life probably didn't talk like a Treasure Island fugitive.
8:13 AM Mr. Silver
I blame Disney...1950
8:13 AM Ms. Amethyst
And why is that?
8:14 AM Mr. Silver
Robert Newton's portrayal of "Long John Silver"
8:14 AM Ms. Amethyst
Ahh ok
8:18 AM Mr. Silver
"ARRR Jim lad! ARR! BY THUNDER ARRR!"
8:27 AM Mr. Silver
He's the "gargles with vinegar and gravel" pirate.
8:27 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
8:27 AM Mr. Silver
Charlton Heston's Silver was rather good, as I recall.
8:32 AM Ms. Amethyst
Never saw it.
8:54 AM Mr. Brown
Captain, we don't have any more cannon balls!
What should we do?
8:55 AM Mr. Brown
Well, Pete has a peg leg; shoot that at them!
lol
8:55 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
8:55 AM Mr. Brown
Then get all the utensils and shoot them too
8:55 AM Mr. Silver
heh
8:55 AM Mr. Brown
“What will we eat with later?”
“Our hands, idiot!”
8:56 AM Mr. Silver
AUGH! Grab anything left!
8:58 AM Mr. Brown
“Oh nooooooo! I've shot all the things!!!”
8:58 AM Ms. Amethyst
What are we gunna do!!!!
8:59 AM Mr. Brown
Well we still have the big stick that we use to put the stuff in the barrel right?
Shoot that too!
9:00 AM Ms. Amethyst
Nooooo we need that to stuff the stuff in the barrel
9:01 AM Mr. Brown
“Well do the smaller cannons fit in the bigger cannons?
9:02 AM Ms. Amethyst
Ummm, no
And if we shoot the little ones we have less cannons
9:09 AM Mr. Brown
How many musket balls do we have left?
9:09 AM Ms. Amethyst
UNO!!!!!!!!
9:14 AM Mr. Silver
"I am NOT loading a long nine with ONE musketball, sir!"
9:15 AM Mr. Brown
Well what kind of food do we have left?
Anything hard?
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
"The biscuit! Break out the biscuit boxes!"
That'd be an embarrassing loss...sunk by a broadside of hardtack
9:31 AM Mr. Brown
Ok, I think we got them! Move in close, we will board the ship!
9:36 AM Mr. Silver
"Uh...we shot all the cutlasses, knives, spare belaying pins, pistols, boarding axes and gaffs in the last few rounds of cannon fire, captain."
9:39 AM Mr. Silver
"Right...every man jack of you take two hands full of black powder, and when we board...punch your opponent as hard as you can."
9:54 AM Mr. Brown
I do not want to get stung by this.
9:56 AM Mr. Silver
Genus: Baddus Species: Assus
9:57 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
Yeah, I would say so
10:13 AM Mr. Silver
So has anyone tested this on a cow?
10:14 AM Mr. Silver
It's Texas...nobody tried it?
10:14 AM Ms. Amethyst
I doubt it
10:15 AM Mr. Silver
"That there's a cow killer, pard."
"They can kill a cow???"
"Don't rightly know."
"So why is it called a cow killer?"
"... ... ... uhhhhhh. Hmm...We just...kinda tip 'em round these parts. And throw their poop as a game."
10:16 AM Mr. Silver
Perhaps it's based on brain quality
"Clint was brought down hard by one of 'em, but he's smarter'n a cow, so he's ok."
10:20 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
10:24 AM Mr. Silver
No Texan was ever bored enough to shake one in a jar and drop it on a cow? Amazing.
I'm sending that one in to Mythbusters.
10:25 AM Ms. Amethyst
ok
Let me know how that turns out.
10:27 AM Mr. Silver
Probably have to dump it due to that whole "killing a cow" thing.
10:27 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
We wanna know if it actually kills a cow though.
10:30 AM Mr. Silver
You know how they go on that show though...by 40 minutes in, the voiceover will say "But we know the Mythbusters...they're nothing if not completists. So their next question is, 'Just how many Cow Killers does it take to kill a cow?'"
10:30 AM Ms. Amethyst
Exactly
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
"MOOOOO-OOO!!!"
(Jamie) "We're 30 stings in now and though our 'Myth-Cow' is foaming, she's still up and kicking."
(Adam) "Yeah. At this point I'm thinking she'll just beat herself to death, but I have the next set of 5 ready to dump on."
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Headlines: "Mythbusters Off Air Pending Animal Cruelty Trial"
Blurb lower "PETA takes all their clothes off in usual gesture again.
12:47 PM Mr. Silver
Back onto that topic...
I can just see the psychopathic endorsements.
"Finally a site that caters to ALL the things that turn me on."
12:49 PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
2:29 PM Mr. Yellow
Since I have been married I have watched more porn films all the way through instead of just 5 minute clips.
2:30 PM Mr. Silver
lol
Pre-marriage "...skip...skip...skip...backup...skip...skip..."
Post marriage "This dialogue and acting is awful."
