Today’s Earworm

Today’s Earworm

Thought for the Day

Well, I am apparently the third and final resident of our home to come Down With The Sickness. I’m going to take some NyQuil and get Stupified. Hopefully, I’ll be able to drift off to sleep and enjoy the Sound of Silence. I really hope that I get some rest and am not Disturbed.

Thought for the Day

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Road Runner and Wiley Coyote On The Battlefield

Player – I fire my rpg.

DM – OK, roll to see if you hit the target.

Player – Darn, a 1

DM – OK, so, you have a misfire, but the projectile does clear the launcher. Roll again to see what it does.

Player – Wow, a 20.

DM – Hmm. OK, so you don’t hit the target in a normal fashion, but the warhead shoots out, hits the ground about 25 meters in front of you, then bounces three times before landing on the target and exploding.

Player – …..

Player – You mean….

DM – Yes, you catastrophically failed successfully.
