Mounting Lions

If you're ever walking in an area where there may be mountain lions, you should not walk alone. You also should never bend over. =0 Kate and I were informed of this by a sign on some trail we explored.

I was quite disappointed that I didn't get to see any mountain lions, but not disappointed that I wasn't mounted by one. We did get to see a deer that looked like her neck was about to break under the weight of her gigantic ears though.

Today we're going to the beach, where we will hopefully have the opportunity to see some more mutated Californian wildlife. We still have plenty of daylight left. It's not even noon yet in Pacific time.

Diablo II

It happened while I was playing Diablo II today. I was leading my goofy looking barbarian up to the blacksmith to talk to him. He greeted me and said "What do you need?".

This offended me, so I responded in an annoyed tone: "Hey, I don't know what kind of third-world country you're from buddy, but this is America goddammit, and it's not about what I need, it's about what I want. And I want an enormous sword with a ten foot serrated blade made out of titanium... With motorized swinging action so I can obliterate my foes by just holding it near them without having to expend any energy... And a grenade launcher attachment... Oh yeah, and a padded italian leather hilt for comfort... And I want the extended warranty."

"Okay, that'll be 85 million GP", he replied sharply.

"85 million GP? That's more money than I've earned in my whole life!" I said, as I handed him my credit card. Then I took my mechanized sword and left, disgusted with the store's terrible customer service.
