Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay for mild rent raises!
Every seminar I attended today referenced D&D, and I don't think any of the presenters knew Gygax had died. It's just that D&D is the forefather of computer gaming, which is the engine of emergent technologies.
I have my problems with Gygax's system, but damn, huge cultural impact.
Examples: Sun's Chief Gaming Officer (what a job) talked about how we are the first generation of gamers raising gamers.
The PMOG folks riffed that Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind would be immune to Daze and Magic Missile.
The MAKE magazine team talked about how to level up and increase your INT.

Oh, shoot! I forgot tomorrow is Character Day at the school I work at. Hmmm...wonder what I can create out of what I have at home. I really meant to plan something.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...I was with you right up until I saw a flying monkey, Raq. And then I wavered a little bit, before my sense of "Yeah, but - gross" reasserted itself.
But - winged monkey!

Winged monkey in fez!
Also, I kind of love the goth griffin being a pigeon.

I don't know the rules, actually. I didn't even know it was spirit week until I showed up in clothes on pajama day! So, I imagine any character would be fine, though, it's a religious school, so probably should be conservative in my choice!

I should add, the kids I work with are mostly little, so if I did something, it should be something they'd recognize. Maybe I should dress up as some sort of Webkinz! Or Hannah Montana.

Actually, that's what I told the kids I'd do. Except I don't have a gingham dress. Can you believe that?
