Welcome, Michelle!

The Off Topic Tavern is a rather strange place on the forums. We talk about anything and everything here, and very little about D&D. If you're interested in Play by Post I suggest you check out our Edition War, a satire on the fights between 4E and 3E fans (currently on hiatus). If you need any help, feel free to post here (or you can PM me if you like).

Once again, welcome and enjoy your stay.

Hello Mrs. Duh. Peace of advice. Don't ever, under any circumstances, trust a word I say. You should probably just avoid reading my posts unless you want you be corrupted or some such.

Since when are you a furry, Pigknight?

Wait. Don't answer that. I just realized I don't want to know.

Oh, btw Michelle, don't expect any thread you make in this forum to last beyond page 1 without being horribly, hilariously (debatably) derailed.

Really? Huh. Well, there goes that theory.

As a side note, when all the furries I know talk about their sex parties at conventions, they seem to have something like a 10-to-1 male-to-female ratio. If it's girls that give you a funny feeling, you might want to find a different fetish.

... but that's enough about sexual deviants. Wait, who does that leave to talk about?

What theory? Do I want to know?

As for furries... Yeah, every single one of the ones I know is a gay male. Though, I think one of them might know a female furry. Maybe. I try not to pay attention when people talk about their kinks. Which reminds me; WHY IS THE FURRY FANDOM SO VOCAL ABOUT THEIR FETISH?! It gets to the point where they might as well end all their sentences with "and by the way, I am a furry".

Oh.

You know, it occurs to me that we should tone down the sex talk before the new person is hooked. Only after they've already decided they like us should we whip out1 the weird kinky sex stuff pig likes to talk about. Jah?

Anyway, I suppose I should introduce myself to the new person, on accuont of this being their thread and all.

Re: DmichelleD
Hello, I'm EscherEnigma, resident over-educated ivory tower elitist prick. See, it even says so in my sig! Anyway, this crowd tends to be fairly unrestrained in what we say, but we (as a group) are rarely malicious about it. So if someone says something offensive and/or stupid, feel free to call them on it.

It's is completely my doing. It wouldn't have happened so quickly if I didn't make the mention of pigknight. If only had I kept me trap shut it would have happened on page 2 or 3.

Me is dirtyfrank. I is a poster here. I R big smarts. I do big math. I also kill dragons in my free time but that's besides the point. I am the person that will eventually creep out all the regulars....except for Zombie_Babies. I don't thing I've creeped him out. I don't think I can creep him out cuz he's cool. Anyways, in my free time I go to college with hopes to someday become a physicist. I think they wear white lab coats or something. It makes them look important so that's what I want.

Why did everything slow down again?

It's possible. Although if there was a report then it would likely be an ORC and not webster. Plus webster does sometimes come buy for fun.

Ok, if we're going to run for it, we need to do this in proper fashion. Someone needs to start screaming as they run through the woods in the dark, one person needs to run through an office or school, trying to find a place to hide but finding every door locked, and another person is fleeing in a car, running red lights and nearly getting run over by semis.

I, of course, will sit in a hot tub with my shotgun. Ye won't catch me running.

No, you won't. The BANE OF ELVES has returned!! (the weather was interfering with my internet service)

As you can see in my sig, I am the Resident Jackass.

I kind of live here: all the regulars know me. Most don't like me. :D But I don't care.

I could also be called the resident psycho.

I think I'll go edit my sig now. That fits me better.

Anyways, if you like elves, I'm gonna kick you in teh krotch!!11!!1one!!

no, you didnt scare me off....like i said, i usually come to forums while im working so there are times when i wont be here. sad, true, but maybe for the best.

ive also been putting way too much time into my campaign. i need to take a break from D&D by talking about D&D. i checked out a few other forums here, very informative folks.
