Shane is also a cop so by the same logic should have known his. Otis was an EMT, so you'd think he would know his, and probably his wife's. I ruled out the doctor since even if he was a possible donor, you don't want him operating if he's a pint low, but as prepared as they otherwise were, I'd think he too would know his and the other woman's (his wife?).

I didn't see the latest episode yet because of the power outages in the northeast, but the recap I read said that Rick was going to donate more blood but the doctor wouldn't let him due to the risk of heart failure. Seems to me, that's a pretty dire situation.

I'll just chalk it up to sloppy writing and leave it at that. However, I am going to take a poll in my office tomorrow to see what percentage of say 20 people know what their blood type is. I'm betting it will be over 50%.

Two atoms are walking down the street. The first atom turns to the second and says, "Hold on a sec, I lost an electron." The second atom asks, "Are you sure?" The first atom replies, "I'm positive."


An Argon atom walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hit the road, pal, we don't serve noble gasses in here." The Argon atom doesn't react.


Two scientists walk into a bar... the first one says, "I'll have some H2O." The second one says, "I'll have some H2O, too." They drink a toast to their latest discovery and the second scientist dies.


Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, bud, you want a beer?" Descartes replies, "I think not," and disappears.


Heisenberg and Schroedinger are driving and get pulled over.
The cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Heisenberg says. "No, but I can tell you exactly where I was."
The cop thinks this answer is warrant for a search, and finds a dead cat in the trunk.
He asks, "Do you know you have a dead cat in the trunk?"
Schroedinger says, "Pft, well I do now."



Why do moon rocks taste better than Earth rocks?

Because they're a little meteor.

Correct. We'll actually be wrapping up around 8 PM CT.

From "How Stuff Works"...

Rhode Island has a special contest law. It requires companies to file a legal statement before they can run a contest in the state. In addition, the law requires the companies to pay $150 filing fee. If a company runs a contest in Rhode Island and fails to file a statement correctly, the company is actually breaking the law.

For companies that want to run national contests, the filing fee alone is a problem because no other state requires it. When you add to that the hassle of researching Rhode Island law in order to file the statement correctly and the penalty if you make a mistake, very few national companies are gonna bother.

You'd be wrong. I went to PAXEast the past two years, and NYCC last year primarily to get the codes. I didn't go to NYCC this year primarily because Paragon Studios wasn't there.

That's not to say I didn't do other things at PAXEast this year, or NYCC last year (PAXEast 2010 was sold out so I just went for the meet n' greet), but my primary reason for going was the NCSoft/Paragon Studios presence, and the collectible costume codes.

I'm glad to see that these are now available to people at large, but I would be interested to see how they sell. I was always of the opinion that many people only clamored for them because they couldn't get them.

I currently have all of them except the ones from PAX '11 and next months summit, and I'll probably buy those when they come out. I also have some extras from winning a Pocket D contest that'd I'd been saving to trade for west coast ones I couldn't get, but I guess now I can throw a costume contest and give those away as prizes.

You're lucky then. This morning I tried twice to change a character's costume through Trina in Pocket D. When I hit the final button not only did I still have the same costume, I'd lost the influence it would've cost to change it.

I know this because it was a low level character with very little influence, let's say 3000. The first change I tried to make would've cost 3200, so I backed off a few things and got the cost down to 2500. When the costume didn't change, I went back in to find that I now only had 500 influence. I tried to make a couple small changes that amounted to around 350, and they didn't take either. When I went back in the tird time I was down to 150 influence.

This experience makes me wonder if the glitch has anything to do with being close to running out of inf. None of the costumes had masks of any sort.

Right around 16-17, I believe.

We could get together and run the new Halloween arc and maybe do a little T-or-T'ing. Those would be two things we wouldn't have to worry about Shakeup missing out on since they'll be gone by the 3rd.

We could make it an abbreviated night, or we could take the week off. I'm available to play, but I'm also down with majority opinion.

The two to three appearances, tops, he makes every year?

[sarcasm]Yeah, it must be exhausting to sign for fans for an hour or three a couple times a year. And I'm sure the $30k-$50k he gets to do it each time doesn't make it at all worthwhile.[/sarcasm]

Honestly though, what do I know? It takes me an entire year to make what he pulls down in 2-3 convention appearances, so of course I'm not sympathetic. If he doesn't enjoy and doesn't need the money, then he should give it up.

Sometimes people don't have time to read a whole post. It probably wasn't even in the same paragraph as the one VoodooGirl was quoting.

Yes, I think the three zombies sitting quietly in the church points to something besides naked bloodlust going on in those rotten noggins of theirs.




I don't think that is what Dale was worried about. Remember when the cop sighted the first zombie through his scope and was about to shoot? He stopped when he saw the second one because he knew there might be others. Someone with a less cool head might have panicked and shot both of them, altering the whole herd to their presence before they had a chance to hide. I think that's what he was worried she might do.
