    Scene: the girl I’m dating is laying on my bed and shuffling through all of the pieces of paper that I have carelessly left on the nightstand. Without me noticing, she picks one up and reads aloud, “You and Gretel are secretly lovers.”

    “What’s this?” she asks with a chuckle.

    Did I:

    a) break down and tell her the embarrassing truth?

    b) distract her quickly with my kisses?

    c) lie and tell her that I found the fractured fairytale cards in one of the rooms – along with the playboy

    d) a & b

    e) c & b

    You be the judge…

    didofoot, you are correct! well, only halfway. the complete answer is d and then f.

    congratulations, didofoot. for your creative, half-correct answer – you get to choose one of the mysterious prizes behind curtain 1, 2, or 3. What will it be?

    If it were me, I would have gone with:

    g) Put a towel on the floor by the two-inch gap under the door – now they can’t see you anymore. Check the locks so they can’t clock, but they can listen – there’ll be no bargin’ in and there’ll be no dissin’.

    But that’s just me.

    Shock G – thank you for acknowledging the reference. I thought it had been lost on this group altogether. =)

    Ms. Foot – I’ll remind you that my kisses come at a cost. Just ask your boyfriend! Or was it your son? Either way, he made me a rich lady. Will you?

    you could prob make a better ladder by combining things with meat paste (10 meat = 1 meat paste).

    i foolishly made a meat stack once, not knowing that i would then lose the meat forever to meatsmithing usability only.

    don’t buy the meatsmithing guide! don’t do it!

  6. michele

    snort. really though we’re only speedy and on the ball when we’ve run thru all the adventures on all 3 of our characters. if i was actually playing the game instead of talking smack about it, i would be totally absent from here.

  7. Dianna

    I made a meat stack too, AND bought the meatsmithing guide. That’s fine. I will be a meatsmith. I will be the best meatsmith in the land, but I won’t set up a shop and advertise it because then the authorities would come and nab me for those stolen accordions.

  8. didofoot

    i might have known you would gravitate towards meatsmithing. when we have a clan we will have our own meatsmith! neat! michele and i think we should name the clan cemeat horizon.

  9. michele

    i’ve got polka_dots the accordion playing mariachi now too. but again i have run out of adventures. has anyone completed the slug lord’s map yet? what the hell do you need to cover your nose with? and why don’t i have it?

  10. didofoot

    what will my place be in our clan, i wonder, thrown into existentialism by dianna’s enthusiastic pursuit of a career. i’m just a moxie’d-up disco bandit, one among thousands. what is my role? where do i fit in? nowhere! i am useless! KINGDOM OF LOATHING, YOU HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOATH MY VERY EXISTENCE!

  11. didofoot

    heh. i didn’t even bother to buy the pass. poo on gambling. maybe i can steal something really good and give it to the clan and be known as the girl who stole that really cool thing for us. dianna could make me a little plaque out of meat.

  12. Dianna

    God, you guys are so far ahead of me here. Stupid day with no time at all for adventuring. I’d just better as hell have 80 adventures waiting for me tomorrow when I sit down to seek my meat-fortune once again.

    I’m actually gravitating toward meatsmithing only because I felt like a sucker for buying the stupid guide and felt obligated to make something respectable out of my foolishness. Maybe you could take up cocktailcraft? I don’t know what good that does you, but it has to be good for something.

    Also, what are you guys doing with your extraneous crap? Like your old hats and weapons that aren’t very powerful so you’re not using them? Should I be stockpiling them? Selling them? Putting them in my colossal closet, which I’ve been avoiding doing because I like the message that tells me, “Even though your closet has no boundaries, it contains nothing.”?

  13. michele

    i think selling them for meat in the flea market might be good. i dunno. who would want the crap we have left to sell? shouldn’t everyone have it already? i don’t know. i haven’t tried to sell anything yet. maybe tomorrow.

  14. didofoot

    i usually sell everything but one of each equipment item. it never occured to me to put something in my closet. so THAT’S what that’s for. hm perhaps this explains the extreme disarray of my real life wardrobe as well.

  15. michele

    it’s only abuse if you abuse it. it’s not abuse if it’s more an abuse of yourself and your professionalism at work wherein you don’t do any work and instead play the game for 5 characters worth of adventure time.

  16. Dianna

    Gene, the rules actually say that the creators have no problem with people having multiple characters per se. It’s just a problem if you’re using them to earn meat or get items or whatnot for your main character.

    Dude, I can’t believe I’m correcting you about an online RPG. What’s this world coming to? I also corrected William about the gauge of something at Gottsi last week. Apparently I really do know it all.
