Heard at ADB yesterday

Steve Cole: Jean, is the GURPS rulebook revision done yet?

Jean: I am going to go next door where it's quiet so I can work on a draft.

Steve Cole: fine, do that.

Steve Petrick: Uh, Steve, did you remember that next door is a bar?

Not to ruin the joke, such as it was, but I didn't think anyone at ADB drank.....

It just shows what one can be driven to do by another.

I just stumbled upon a show on the Hallmark channel called The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, about a crime-solving librarian.

Garth, that is a book series turned into a tv series. My better half has most, if not all of those books on audio for long car rides.

We both love mysteries.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Sunday, March 10, 2019 - 09:30 pm: Edit

I had never heard of it before. I watched a couple episodes .... it's not the best crime show but it's not bad.

I had to laugh at one scene. The heroine bashes the bad guy over the head with a dictionary and then says, "Should have used the 2010 edition; it's heavier." LOL. So that's where Jean gets it!

Hallmark has a bunch of amateur female detectives, six or seven of which Teagarden is one. We like the archeologist best, but the one who runs a newspaper is good too.

Just my opinion, but the books are definitely better than the TV Movies.

Books go into a lot more depth than you can see on screen.

I still get a kick out of Columbo just one more thing

Steve Petrick: Jean is out sick again. What should we do about that big press release she was supposed to send today?

Steve Cole: I'll write it the way I want it and put her name on it.

Steve Petrick: Should I run it by her before you release it?

Steve Cole: That seems like overkill to me.

Which probably will result in Jean over-killing SVC!

Is this when you publish the mini F&E scenario: 'HIDEOUS STORM: FRALLI MUST DIE!' ?

By Steve Cain (Stevecain) on Friday, March 15, 2019 - 01:51 pm: Edit

Could we get a topic under PD:Deckplan for random design questions. I am in the process of learning the how & why and I don't want to muddy existing treads like the FT or POL on things more like "I understand what X and Y are on this model; but what is Z? Is it full deck height...."

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, March 15, 2019 - 03:19 pm: Edit

The protocols and checklist topic is where such questions go.

OUCH!!

That gave me a concussion, and I wasn't even IN this discussion!

I just want to know what a person who is the basis for a Deian Bibliophile is so dedicated to hitting second Nirillars for their reaction to Nth Nirillars (Fralli) when the background says it is the way that second, third, etc. Nirillar behave around Nirillars is what makes Nirillars aggravated. I mean, the only way they could be uglier is if they were the Neandro-Fralli who's hair resembled a mound of snakes in size, texture, and behavior.

Psst… I even threw in the Oxford comma. :D

On a related note, is there any way to go through the list of Forum users with 0 posts and strip the "website" from their account? Basically, every one of them is a spam/whatever website that we should probably be making sure is stripped from the FC Forum.
