I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The game could “foster an inmate’s obsession with escaping from the real-life correctional environment, fostering hostility, violence and escape behavior,” prison officials said in court.

Yeah, without D&D the inmates will be all, "This isn't quite optimal, but I guess I'll linger quietly for a bit."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tilda Swinton Would 'Absolutely' Play Conan (PHOTOS)

Oh, that Conan. I thought, initially, that she'd play the same Conan that Jason Momoa is playing.

She's good. She's not that good.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

See, the prison officials are thinking about it all wrong. What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.

So I read a magazine, drank a pot of caffeinated tea and proceeded to sleep 5 hours. Uhg.

Needed it blahblahblah, I hate sleeping all day. And I like sleep! I just feel so useless.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.

This is pretty much the plot of the novel I'm reading. (Glasshouse by Charles Stross)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to go jeans shopping this afternoon, since I have to be semi-near the Gap outlet anyway, but now I really don't want to! That's a bad frame of mind for jeans shopping, right? So I should just skip it?

Yeah, especially because for the future, I'll know the route.
