Oh, I do it all the time, Mara. I crap on clichés, I mangle malapropisms, and mix metaphors - all poorly. I said "you're treading on thin waters". I really meant "you're treading on thin ice."
For example, I was publicly ridiculed the other day for saying: 'I want to attend that meeting, too, so I can get a feel out of it."
Groan. I just wanted to curl up and smell the music.
: Too funny. I already knew most librarians could walk on water. It's only a few, though, that can walk on thin water, lol.

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

So Temujin is the best game ever. If that doesn't draw the villagers with torches, what will?

What? You really think so? I just got tired of the CD swapping in Dark Side and could never get into it. I liked Temujin's setting better too and being a lover of history, it fit the bill for me. [smiley=thumbs.gif]

My issues with Temujin weren't setting or story - it was the buggy interface and poor acting. I thought that South Peak did a great job in reworking that interface for DSOTM.

Seriously though, every forum has good days and bad days. I think JA forum has done a good job of creating a community that engages and mostly thoughtful discussions and I would much rather have only 4 people here a day who post insightful or thoughtful remarks than 400 idiots like crapstorm with nasty attitudes or 100 members - like I've seen at some other adventure forums - who sit on the forum all day and do nothing but post smiley faces or other such inanity on every post just to raise their post count.

Yeah it was just an innocent chocolate-related accident, that's the ticket and besides, why the heck were you poking around my private hotel suite anyway Caroline?

Sorry. Once a year I have to flush this stuff out of the sewer of my brain.
Dyslexics wonder why there isn't a word that means the same thing as "cinnamon."

So... I avoid the "hot" forum for months to recover, and THIS is what it's come to?
(*sigh*)
Meanwhile, you all smell funny. Flame THAT. [smiley=furious.gif]
