SARGE

Now I want a trireme with a Corvus painted to look like a crow.

And I will definitely be referring to it as my ship's Corvid. Any time a newcomer tries to correct me, I'll just point to it and ask "You sure about that?"

Push workdays later into the day so a 9-5 becomes an 11-5.

FTFY

work can get fucked if they think I'm giving up my evenings. We should be pushing for shorter workdays, too. Not just push them back.

I've lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It's been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I'm paranoid about any online interactions.

I wouldn't even know where to start with VPNs.

Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?

I ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.

I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn't quite come out yet.

Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out.. I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I'm paying for streaming services ran out.

So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.

I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.

My wife thinks I'm obsessed too.

She's right, of course.

But she doesn't have to remind me of it...

Joke's on her, I turned her into a nerd. She bought the silmarillion.

I used to work demo tables at a convention every year, as the company would pay for people's convention costs in exchange for 14 hours of volunteer work over the course of 5 days.

I decided after the first year that I would be volunteering my time overnight, instead of during the day. They ran after-hours games until 2am, and I usually stayed until 4am to run some more. We usually had about 100-150 people at 10pm, dwindling to about 20 by 4am.

By the end of the night, the temperatures inside are around 60, and nobody is sweating. It's fantastic.

I also decided to start getting dollar store deodorants, the little travel size ones, and leaving them out with some baby wipes with a sign that says something along the lines of "NO JUDGEMENT, EVERYONE FORGETS SOME TIMES, TAKE ONE" With a little picture of "wipe pits, apply deodorant" underneath.

Every year, about half the deodorants have been claimed.

Sure it's like $20 extra if I get things on sale, but it's a small price to pay for not having to smell Convention Stank.

And when my job is literally to walk around a big circle of 10-30 people, most of whom have been walking around since before noon in a hot dealer hall, walking through a wall of "Cool Breeze" is so much less unpleasant than BO.

GONK

Look, if you have an aural processing issue I totally understand, but if you're just being racist against droids as some kind of hold-over from the clone wars, GTFO.

There's a massive difference between "GONK" and "GONK". They sound nothing alike.

Next you're going to tell me that ewoks could take on an imperial brigade...

I my experience, Christians don't know their own Bible and rarely, if ever, crack it open without someone telling them to, usually during a service.

As I said, non-fictional people tied together with a fictional story.

Deciding that I said one thing, when simply looking up and seeing I didn't say it means you are founding your reply on feelings instead of actual information.
