Dammit Sean, when are you going to get the USB port linked directly to your inner ear? I thought you were running a Shadowrun campaign, fer cryin' out loud.

Yeah, he is such a slacker! Still, don't ask him about his Firewire port.

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

Rule 1 about Firewire Club: do not talk about Firewire Club! Rather, use the language of the gods, the language of mime.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"Warlock" is a gendered term.

Also, it doesn't mean "male witch" or whatever, it means "traitor" or "betrayer".

I think Aims would tell you I need no help whatsoever to be, in her words, "a pedantic ass."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

No, you don't help being one, however, new material with which to torture me and our friends would be nice. We get sick of the same old pedantry. We'd like some new and possibly improved pedantry.

All right, you got it from the Empress' very own mouth. If you win the lotto, I will be happy to accept a big ol' OED.

I've also been meaning to post a write up of the campaign session we had last Sunday. It felt like D&D used to feel to me. It was seriously kick ass.

Our wings are not tired

Kristin got to deal with my pedantry last night while watching a season three episode of CSI that featured a shot of a SPL meter and then had a faulty line of dialog referring to db SPL as well.
