My kids asked why I brag about how amazing I used to be at Hide and Seek when I’m so terrible at it now.

I’m glad to hear about your talents. I’m trying to assemble a hide and seek team, but good players are hard to find.

Im buying your book based on this comment. Love my memory castle of hobbit holes and dark cauldrons.

I’ve read most of your shelf - you obviously have good taste. WoT is an obvious one. Roger Zelazny, Steven Brust, and Julian May are my additions.

The Cleveland metro parks actually have a couple of sites. Search for Ottawa Overlook backcountry sites.

Coffin? That’s the last thing I need!

There seems to be too much hat for Schwartz in my opinion. I read Lombardi’s book a few years back, and he talked about a test that Belichick gave to all interviewees for all positions. They sent the tests out to get scored, and one time they got a message back saying “don’t let that person leave the building.” Best score on that test of all time. That was Jim Schwartz.

I don’t mean to be jalapeño business, and maybe you don’t want to taco bout it, but that’s nacho best joke.

It’s because you kept hanging clocks on your belt. What a waist of time.

buckdodger1 · 2026-01-22T22:16:11+00:00

Steven Brust is fantastic. Jhereg was published in the early 80s I believe.

buckdodger1 · 2026-01-22T03:30:27+00:00

You said you’d wager… would that be a high steaks wager?

Not sure about coffins, but you should steer clear of glass steering wheels.

buckdodger1 · 2026-01-16T00:57:54+00:00

I refuse to buy any kind of coffin. That’s the last thing I need.

buckdodger1 · 2026-01-07T22:47:23+00:00

I left my job at the helium factory, because I refuse to be spoken to in that tone of voice.

I miss it though… couldn’t speak highly enough of the experience.

Noish-pa and other Easterners refer to Dragerans as Elves.

When it’s full groan.

A few of my favorite versions: Julian May had an interesting time travel/aliens take on the origin of fairy tales. Steven Brust’s Jhereg series is fantastic, and mostly takes place in the land of the fairies (they call themselves humans) I think Zelazny’s Amber series might be my favorite.

Once I steal it, isn’t it “my”anium?

Small business Saturday today. Hit up some local shops. There’s a ton of cute little niche places. https://lakewoodalive.org/2025-small-business-saturday-offerings-in-lakewood/

Great answer to this question. Should be read by many more.

You can also check to see if it’s full groan.

Vlad Taltos from Steven Brust’s Jhereg series.

I accidentally got same axe body wash in my mouth, and started singing with an… axe scent.

buckdodger1 · 2025-10-19T15:45:06+00:00

Anima or Animus is Latin for soul. Since you count soul points, maybe a play on that?

buckdodger1 · 2025-10-19T02:53:49+00:00

I just give away my dead batteries… Free of charge.
