Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect

I always thought I'd have much too much fun with tabletop gaming. But everytime I visit a local lounge or game shop, but the smell usually scares me away.

Our ruler took down his works. This upsets me. To the point that I will put down scholarly pursuits for the night and make up random shit about another planet.

Can't wait to see the most silentest eagle.

I should probably qualify that, It's the best, in regards to "wow, that's random and ridiculous". Not the best because of the tragedy.

#Sorry #notsorry Her fingers brushed lightly across the multi-faceted carapace, while her own amber eyes studied the shifting colors lit by the fireplace. Segments of its body shivered under her touch. "Such colors..." She mused, "But, I don't know, are you even-I mean, what..." What was she trying to say? Why were words so hard to grasp? Her mind raced, as her fingers explored, without regard, the creature before her. "Him? Her?" The creature spoke, voice rasp. A chuckle escaped from the arthropod's maxilliped. "I am special among my kind. In your tongue, I am hermaphroditic." She blushed, straightening her skirt against the thick rug and tearing her gaze from the creature. Instead, she decided to watch the flames lick the stones of the fireplace, focusing, attempting to curb the own fire that burned within her. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up. I just-" What was this feeling? "-I was just curious, that's all..." Another raspy chuckle drifted to her ears. The arthropod moved, its numerous appendages bridging the gap between them as if it was nothing. a long, hard, claw deftly brushed her hair from her face. She looked up into his, or her, midnight-black eyes. "Your kind are so very curious. It is endearing. What else would you like to know?" Her words never formed. They fell silently and breathlessly from yearning lips. They fell, and she followed them, down to the creature's carapace and into waiting, gentle, and strong chelipeds.

As in, most ridiculous I've seen so far. And it's only 11 AM. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/01/us/anthony-stokes-heart-transplant-death/index.html Teen heart transplant recipient killed in police chase Story highlightsIn 2013, Anthony Stokes' family said a hospital refused him a heart due to his "history of noncompliance" Hospital eventually gave Stokes a heart; on Tuesday he carjacked someone, burglarized a home, police said Stokes shot at an elderly woman, hit a pedestrian with a stolen car and died in a police chase, authorities said (CNN)The story of Anthony Stokes was supposed to have a happy ending. Instead it ended Tuesday, police say, with the teen heart transplant recipient carjacking someone, burglarizing a home, shooting at an elderly woman, leading police on a high speed chase and then dying after his car hit a pole. In 2013, the teen's family told media that an Atlanta hospital rejected him for heart transplant surgery due to what the hospital described in a letter as Stokes' "history of non-compliance." At the time, Mark Bell was acting as a Stokes family spokesman. Bell told CNN that a doctor told the family that Anthony's low grades and time in juvenile detention factored into the hospital's decision to deny him a heart. "The doctor made the decision that he wasn't a good candidate because of that," Bell said then. "I guess he didn't think Anthony was going to be a productive citizen." About a week after Stokes' story made headlines, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta gave him a heart. On Tuesday, Stokes carjacked someone at a mall, kicked in the door of a home in Roswell, Georgia, and fired a shot at an elderly woman, who called 911, said Roswell police spokeswoman Lisa Holland. Stokes drove away in a black SUV, she said. Police spotted the car and ran its plates which showed it had been stolen. Police chased the vehicle. Stokes lost control of the car, hit a pedestrian and then a pole, Holland said. The vehicle was nearly halved, she said. The pedestrian is stable and in good condition, according to CNN affiliate WSB. Stokes died at a hospital, Holland said. In 2013, Stokes' family provided media with a letter they said was from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "Anthony is currently not a transplant candidate due to having a history of noncompliance, which is one of our center's contraindications to listing for heart transplant," it read. Assessing compliance for potential transplant recipients is important because if a patient doesn't strictly take all required medicines as directed, he or she could die within weeks of leaving the hospital, said Dr. Ryan Davies, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, told CNN. Davies was not involved with this case. When Stokes' family was trying to get him a heart, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference advocated for the teen. SCLC's the Rev. Samuel Mosteller told CNN that he was disappointed. "We got this young man a second chance in life," he said. SCLC referred the teenager to a mentor program in the Atlanta area, but Mosteller said that he wasn't sure if the teenager participated. "What happened between the time in 2013 to now, I don't really know," he said. "How much Anthony recognized the gravity of things and did what he needed to do to make himself a viable citizen, I don't know. But we tried." CNN's Lauren Leslie, Marylynn Ryan, Elizabeth Landau and Jacque Wilson contributed to this report. - My question is, who's heart did he end up getting? A renegade's, no doubt.

A lobster as big as a man? This breathes new life into my furry fanfiction idea.

Arguing with Nazis online is for chumps. Take it to the streets. Also, I tend to agree that the legislation is flawed. It certainly wasn't fleshed out, and at a meager 2.5 pages long, I don't feel that it covers any particular specifics. But that just leaves more to be argued in court, where precedence will be made. That's how the law will eventually be determined. I don't believe such laws should be in place to begin with. I am against the knee-jerk passage of laws these days. There are much better ways to solve social issues.

I hope Bele gets as excited over every social injustice as this one.

Which side, exactly? Which part of history are we comparing?

This is very good. I am happy to have watched this.

Booooooorrrriiiiing.

I didn't either. This business in Indiana is pretty interesting and a bit upsetting. And the bill they drafted... Well, I can't exactly find a huge beef with it. https://iga.in.gov/static-documents/9/2/b/a/92bab197/SB0101.05.ENRS.pdf A small business has the right to refuse service based on sexual orientation. That's fine. It's privately owned and operated. Whether I agree with it is irrelevant. Personally, I find that by doing so, you lop off part of your revenue. For a small business, that's silly. But they aren't my values, so I wont judge. So here's the speaking topic: Would you rather the government step in on behalf of the homosexual community and force small businesses to open their doors? And in not doing so, would result in a broken law on the business's behalf? Or rather, would you like to see small businesses given freedom to refuse service to whomever they choose?

It's been 3 hours and 15 minutes, Sturge of the East. What've you got for us?

It should be under your "program files" folder.

Isn't that a bit redundant?

Those are the first three. The fourth is being read/edited by some friends of mine. They are my first foray into writing something large-ish. I am eager to start my sci-fi bit, though.

Sturgis! You dog!

I've known great cops. I've seen shit cops. Cops are people. People given power. That can do different things to different people. Then mix in life-threatening situations. Some cops just want to make it home unscathed. Some cops are shit. Some cops are great. We see plenty of the shit ones thanks to this new wondrous age of instant information. And those stories get more readers/viewers/ad money than feel good stories of cops. I don't trust cops, but I don't hate them. They are employed by our tax dollars, and should be held accountable as employees of the state. But I do understand the stresses, and I'll never hold judgement until I've seen both sides of the story.

I'd love to see your grant proposal to the NIH. Or whatever your country's version of that is.

I have already written four shitty fantasy novels. They are so bad, sturgis-man refuses to read them. But I suspect that he secretly can't read...

I was never that good with words, but I do have an idea for a sci-fi novel rolling around the hard drive.

As a citizen of said country, I concur with the Sturgis-man.

You're not thinking about this correcrly, sturgis-man. Don't make rifles smaller. Make soldiers BIGGER.
