The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

News story I saw a little while ago. The upper federal executive (who shall go un-named for the sake of forum rules) is apparently trying to change the laws regarding how much water can be dispersed by our shower heads.


I kid you not. Google it, it's on the all the major feeds... *facedesk*

One point: Shower head (and Toilet, and dishwasher, and pretty much everything else water related) is restricted by EPA regulations, not by law. So he's not trying to change law, he's trying to change the EPA regulations.

Since the EPA is an executive branch department, which works for above mentioned executive branch head, he has every right to tell them to change the rules because he doesn't like them.

OKay, that was more than one point.

*Lifts face off desk*

*Concedes the technicality of "law" vs "regulation"*

Fair point.

you've got your commander in cheese, we've got our religious pandering for votes. pandering which has resulted in very violent riots in the past.

is there any country that doesn't completely stink, or which doesn't give its people comfy lives at the expense of outsourced cheap labour?


just... humanity's in trouble. higher power or not, the directions we're taking are having consequences now, which we have to deal with. forget nature, nature will be fine. it's us who're in the fire. and the honchos just seem to care about making more and more money.

I have a memory of my daughter sitting on my lap making selections from the Kobold Soundboard while we waited for Cove to open.

Kobold is dancer, kobold complain about posture to foreman! (her favorite)

How sweet! I honestly just love running around and collecting map pieces! XD

So THAT's where Maz disappeared to.

HAH HAH! No, it was a different aussiee. I know Maz would have liked that if I had offered.

She was a good friend and fun to teach as much as I knew before I left DDO.

Last I talked to her was during the Aussie fires. Was doing okay at that point.

Ha! That sounds epic.

Yeah, that's probably 6-7 years more recent than me.

I noticed she hasn't logged into the forums in awhile, about the timeline you're referencing with the fires.

I hope she got through them ok!

This is why a level 15 street urchin acrobat named Nat Gann is an excellent addition to any party, even if you have to hire him as an NPC. Flips, jumps, acrobatics -- just give him the magick item and he becomes the bomb and grease man that gets it where you need it.


*coughs* Ahem.

FREE NAT GANN!

Here's a fun one from Hobbit-side.

Had been running my Minstrel with the fam, keeping everyone alive. Wife logged out, so I hopped on my Hunter and went Deed slaying with my boy. At least an hour or more later, he stops by the Craft Hall and finds my Mini still standing where I logged out. I make my way to Bree expecting my ghost to blip out when I enter the instance. Obviously, that didn't happen. I couldn't see myself, but my boy took a screenie of me poking myself.

Kinduva nab, close enough.


The fish is his cosmo weapon. His shield is a Beer Mug, tho it doesn't show unless he's in combat.

Ya have to forgive him - his favorite song is playing Weird Al's Dare To Be Stupid on his drum.

He get's to beat people with a fish?! I am so jealous. And a beer mug shield?! Why don't we have that?

LOTRO was a little amazing on its impressiveness. Writing songs and playing them as a Ministrel/Bard was impressive alone.

I think the fish and tankard weaponry is fitting with the theme. Sam Gamgee was often using makeshift weapons for a good while and I believe other characters were known to wield tavern makeshift weapons frequently.

What was that even about? I've never seen someone in this thread being mean before. Old rivalries/past history?

I'll PM ya.

Sorry.

I know drama follows me due to not censoring my name. Hopefully it's not the same group cdbd3rd is PM'n about, but it wouldnt' surprise me. IN the MMORPG community there is always a group that takes the game beyond a game.
