So, the bastards think they can keep track of my porn collection, do they?
That was printed on the GM side of the screen just to remind me who was boss in the game.
My poor players never knew what they were in for when I ran that game. Hot fun and happy pills!
I always broke out Paranoia when my CoC or Champions players started getting a little too big for their britches with five hour character generations and rules lawyering.
This game was truly a masterpiece of catharsis for overworked gamemasters. I am so glad it's getting a rework, I could just implode with delight.
Thank you Greg! The computer is the bomb!
No wait! It's just an expression! I didn't really mean bomb! I just...ZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAPPP!

Thanks for giving this neat gadget for Christmas. I thought I'd send you this email from it to let you know how it's working out. As you can tell from the coordinates, I'm backpacking in the Alaskan wilderness. It's great here. Just me and nature. I've never done any camping this ambitious, but with this toy how can I go wrong?

It's 46 meters away now. I should probably go. I love you Dad. Tell Mom I lov...
It looks like the ABA is taking it's cue from that bastion of ethical responsiblity, Supreme Court Justice "Big Tony" Scalia.
Scalia insists his hunting trip with VP Cheney during the time that the Supreme Court was hearing a case involving Cheney is in no way improper and refuses to recuse himself from the case.
If our Supreme Court is this corrupt, it doesn't surprise me that our legal system is screwed from the top down.
For instance, when I was almost side-swiped by a semi truck, my car seat turned yellow.
Moments after seeing flashing red and blue lights in my rear-view window with a pound of a sticky, green, and illicit herb in my trunk, my seat turned a deep shade of brown.
The analog olfactory indicators were an added bonus.
Instead of billing the sender of bulk email, why can't the receiver bill the service provider who permitted the bulk email to be sent in the first place?
What you say? Microsoft would get huge bills because of the abusers of it's Hotmail service? That would be a pity, wouldn't it?
