Operation Dice Drop for Zigggurat Con in Iraq
LandGator wrote with some information about the upcoming Ziggurat Con. Their catch phrase: "Where RPG isn't just a Rocket Propelled Grenade." This very special tabletop gaming event will be held on June 9th of this year ... at Camp Adder /Talil Airbase in Iraq. For nine hours on that day, gamers currently deployed to Iraq will be able to forget about the conflict by rolling dice and playing games. The con organizers are looking for willing folks to donate games and dice to the soldiers, as well as a little recognition for the d20-rolleres in harms way this year. "The Con's historical landmark 'mascot' -- the Ziggurat -- can be found on the post, and hails from the ancient city of Ur. Nearby is the house where it is believed that Abraham (a large figure in the Bible, the Koran and the Torah) was born. Cool digs for a Con -- if not for the fact that there's a war going on. [Convention organizer David] Amberson, however, emphasized the need for soldiers to relax and kick back with enjoyable activities from time to time."
I don't think so. Irony died with this administration. Pointless to demonstrate its lack of self-awareness when they consider self-awareness a disadvantage.

Hells yah man. L:es, more lies and even more lies. Does Bush lie to cover up the old lies? Or does lie about the new lies to lie about the even older lies? It must be very confusing to be him and his administration. What lies to do deny or admit? And yet he lies even more.....
