This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Good grief, and I thought I had a lot of Brutes.

Omnis, I tried to send one of my own brutes to let Peeeeeeeev know that if you mess with one viper pilot, you mess with the whole Galactica, but I couldn't find him. Seems he decided to only use 8 of his 10 e's, and I was out of fights before I figured it out.

I can never remember how many e's. I don't try. But since you volunteered for a kicking: [link]

Well my 'fredIsWhiskey brute kicked his butt! Didn't hit her once!

Pffft. Bloody animals. They are crazy powerful. I once faced a bear that took 80 points of damage and was still standing. Really, WTF?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Good grief, and I thought I had a lot of Brutes.

There were a couple days where I wanted to keep fighting but I was out of brutes so I'd just keep making more.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I also have Evil-Laugh, Grr-Arghhh, and ZanyAlphaToddler. They're all at either 5 or 6, I think.

Oh, and Alterdude who is DH's.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My brutes are:

Billytea (it wasn't taken! Craziness!)
Duncan Donitz
Tachyglossus (my special needs brute)
Spiny Norman
Word Fails Me
Mother Farquhar
OhTheHumanitea

Your President has chosen the crisis:

Resistance
Skill Check 12 YGP

We shall, as ever, pause for interrupts (IC and SR). You can send me COs for the check itself too if you wish.

Baltar shall not interrupt. And I can help (surprise surprise) a little.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Boomer has no interupts, and can help a little.

Peeeeeeeeev just hit level 12 and got a strength boost. Like he needed it.

He managed to finish off a brute backed up by a bear with just a little knife. Good times.

move out and draw fire

a bear with just a little knife

Wait, they are giving the animals weapons now?

I also have Darth Nane, Darth Nocuous, and DePunch Mode. Sarcastica is the one to fight if you want to win...she'll just sit there with her daisy and her "Peace Out" sign singing Kumbaya.

I just discovered this:

And now we hear of the upcoming release of The BoardGameGeek Game. Being published by R&D Games, and designed by Richard Breese, the game sees you play as games publishers and gamers in a quest to attain GeekGold (the BoardGameGeek currency, don’tcha know).

And if you are interested, I saw this on DowntimeTown ( [link] ), which, despite the porkpie on the meeple, is not written by Yahtzee, but still funny.

Sorry, I didn't get the crisis card. What are the outcomes for success or failure? I'm not going to play an interrupt, and I can only help a little.
