You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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

How do you get rid of a 2nd page in Word?

You can tweak the margins so it doesn't want to insert a page break. Take the bottom margin down from one inch to half an inch.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

shared that link, Hec. Most of the gamers I know are neither straight nor male.

Well, I sort of oneroused. I updated my resume, but once I got deeper into the job descriptions of the ones I was going to apply for, I realized I wasn't qualified after all.

I called my medical insurance co to find out why they hadn't paid for my last two appointments and got instructions on what to do. So there's that.

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

ita, I hope you've been able to find some relief.

Hec, that is a terrific letter. If I had a gaming console I'd totally buy Dragon Age 2, just to support the company with my money. (Plus it sounds kinda fun.)

I wonder if that dude realized you could go gay in the first Dragon Age.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I wonder if that dude realized you could go gay in the first Dragon Age.

Hee! Now I'm imagining gamers all over America hopping up and down in feather-trimmed chiffon robes like Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby: "I don't know! I've just gone gay all of a sudden!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now I want feather-trimmed robes for all my male characters.

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

I hope you've been able to find some relief.

No, none. I'm more than a little screwed here.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I'm not a videogamer (or tabletop except as thought exercises since the mid 90s), but you can bet BioWare is who I'll look to if I draw the name of a relative who games when the holidays roll around.
