I remember when you had to be careful not to die running down the stairs too fast. 

The Planeshift crew has been busy.  It's been a few years since I've been in game and I can't even find my old stomping grounds.  So much new stuff.    I Love it.  I look forward to immersing myself in the RP magic that exists only in Yliakum. 

Good job, Dev's and GM's 

EDIT:

After about a week in-game, I'm over it. 

Hmm... where would Rock Music in America be since the 1970s if it hadn't been for the contribution made to it by Canadian musicians?

What would Rock Stars in America be without Pamela Anderson?

I googled one metaphor I remembered being funny, just to get it right.  Found it, and these others:

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up .

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.

Evidently, some or all of these are quotes from High School essays.

Any kind of 'religious' or 'cultural' clothing or accessories can and often will become a problem to someone.

Should that kid in Montreal be allowed to wear his kirpan to school?  There is a no knives policy surely. Canada's Supreme Court says it's ok. 

That Muslim English teacher in Britain who got suspended for refusing to take her full head veil around her male co-workers.  Could not seeing your co-worker/teacher's face hamper things at the school in some manner?

In Canada, it's been ruled that Sikh RCMP's (Police) can wear their turbins while on duty - rather than the traditional hat that everyone else on the force has to wear.

All tradition, be it secular or religious is sacred to someone.  Some flex with the times, others stay stead-fast to their roots. Some unfortunately choose out of convenience when to exercise their religious traditions. Evidently the Muslim British school teacher had gone to her job interview with no veil. (That's what I read, be that accurate or not I know of countless times I've seen people play the religious - or race - card when it suits their purpose ATM)   

Some places and groups allow for easier integration for the minority.  Others, not so much. I've heard that in some places in the Mid-East it's a big no-no for (western) women to walk around in public wearing the traditional no-veil of their home country. 

Me, I'm not predisposed to feel a certain way about religious fashion one way or another. 

Case by case, based on safety, respect and common sense.   We can't please everyone all the time. 

I'll recommend Dean Koontz... maybe James Patterson,  Dan Brown's Deception Point was quite a good read lately as well.   

Zorbels has requested that I enter our daughters art work signature for this contest. Here it is.
