The Forge booth was awesome this year (full disclosure: I worked the Indie Press Revolution chunk of it, running sales). The main draw, as ever, is that half of the booth is taken up by demo space with 10-20 minute tasters of all the games on sale run by the game designers, and the booth is hopping all convention long.
Although alone among exhibitors to publish sales results, the idea that the Forge came in third after WW and WotC is alas, conjecture contested by Paizo and probably Palladium - although who knows for sure? What we can say for sure is that year-on-year, the market for creator-owned independently published roleplaying games is growing, and shows no sign of slowing down.
Friend of mine's brother-in-law burns things for a living. Every day he gets to burn something or blow some shit up and get paid for it. Now and then they'll go out into the desert, build a house, and burn it down.
Headbutts are consistently cut out of films and TV destined for child and young teen viewing in the UK - and for good reason. A Glasgow kiss is an excellent way to really hurt someone, and if you get it right, can be fatal. It's far easier to copy a headbutt and hurt your playmate than cause ABH with a Teenage Mutant Ninja death-blow or a Vulcan nerve-pinch.

Also, the games were fucking awesome this year - old and new. New titles like Burning Empires, 1001 Nights and Don't Rest Your Head sat deservedly proudly alongside the stalwarts of new gaming like Sorcerer, Dogs in the Vineyard and Breaking the Ice.

Not to complain too much, but check the date on Dobelle's website:

Nah. The last thing on your mind is your arse.
... lots.
Narcotics can be a viable alternative, but of variable legality.
Alcohol is probably your best bet, since it includes the excellent possibility of terminal self-immolation.
Failing that, go out and get a life
