I normally enjoy the winter (or at least, I don't get depressed because of it), but I got totally drenched today while shopping. Twice.

I can't remember the last time I saw a $10 bill. For some reason, I only ever have 20s, 5s, and 1s. Probably why I forgot.

Urk'Gthurg eats all of the chalk, including the stuff that children draw with. Suddenly parents world-wide have crying youngsters on their hands!

He dies of dysentery, only to come back to life, be hailed as the Messiah, and brings about world peace while humanity explores the cosmos.

I wish I had a million dollar's worth of pennies.

Gah. Non-base 10 monetary systems are archaic. :P
Next thing you'll say a non-base 10 measurement system is silly

It's like you read my mind! :P
Do you have B1 squids? This thing costs B1.
Seems pricey. Couldn't I use this 32% coupon and get it for 54 squids and some change?  :P


Of course the American dollar is also known as the buck, greenback, clam, dead president, and bone.
Dead president has always been my favorite, even if it's not factually accurate where the $100 bill in concerned.

That's fine, as long as I can contribute to the prosperity of the fortress.

Just one request: When (if) he hits legendary at either brewing or cooking, give him a profession like Brewmaster or Iron Chef.

For a decade they were nibbling around the edges, but they've started really pushing the abortion restrictions at the state level in the past year.  It's important to remember that the typical republican who recently was elected to office for the first time is far more conservative then you would expect by comparing them to republican incumbents from similar districts or offices.  So even though the recent freshman congressman are on average from more competitive districts, on average they are to the right of the republican incumbents they joined.  The GOP took a really hard turn to the right over the past three years.

I haven't heard too much of this but I believe that it's probably happening, I know one state law passed recently that mandated that women seeking abortions have to look at the ultrasonic scans of the fetus before they can consent to the operation. I think it's legally baseless to implement a law like that because there is no real justification for it, I imagine it'll be overturned or repealed at some point.
Considering that the average abortion takes place when the "fetus" is little more than a blob, I can't see how effective this law will be. You're right, it will probably be overturned or simply unenforced before long.

Weird, I always thought that the Republicans never try to ban abortion because it can be seen as a "get another term free" card.

1: Promise to ban abortion
2: Get elected
3: Aside from the occasional sound-bite, make no attempt to ban abortion during your term
4: When election time rolls around, blame the evil liberals for not being able to ban abortion
5: Get re-elected

Repeat as needed. Of course, this won't work everywhere, but I'm pretty sure that stunts like this are how people like Bachman stay in office.

A veto isn't a permanent stop to a law. The law in question can go back to Congress, and with enough support (I vaguely recall a number around 75%, but that was from my government class which was six years ago) it can supersede the veto.

Name the woodcrafter "Cyrus" and train him in the art of brewery! He will make many fine drinks for the dwarves to enjoy!

Wtf? I know I saw an "over 9000" meme somewhere on this page. Where'd it go?

Same here. Was it retconned out of existence by The Great Toad?
Did it disappear? Or was it never there to begin with?
*dun-dun-DUUUUUNNN*
