You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had a wood elf ranger (the cheesiest of all elf races) called V. B. Fiercecheese. The V. B. stood for "Venezuelan Beaver".
I also had a dwarven monk named Duncan Donitz. ...Ryan is probably lucky his mother had input into the naming process. And by input I mean "veto power".

On a couple servers I have a character named Laga Ratica. So that's cool. But most of my characters have silly names. See my wizard: Buffista Jones.

On to Tory's turn. Tory has moves to the President's Office and invoked her OPG. The top 5 Quorum cards are going out. Tory, when you're ready, send me back the order in which you would like to arrange them.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My gaming friends and I once had those 3am post-gaming conversations where everyone is a little bit slap-happy. We were discussing how dwarven sernames always seemed to have a stone or metal paired with another random verb or noun. Ie Thuderbarr Stonecrusher or Olaf Ironbeard.
We went on a riff on this for a while coming up with more and more ridiculous names before deciding the most dwarven of all dwarven names to be Chiseldick Rockhumper.
Ah, the "creativity" of teenage boys with too much caffeine and too little sleep.

Tory has stamped her authority on the Quorum, and retires to the President's Office for some well deserved R&R. However - well, this is awkward. It seems no one thought to clear the previous President out first. Hi, Zombie Zarek! How ya doin'? Tory's crisis is:
Unexpected Reunion
