Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:17am
Mr. Pumpy:

mariano. thanks. I'm not too bad myself, but this one was not really set up for editing. It is really an Excel sheet that got converted to a PDF and sent to me. Luckily I have the full Adobe reader through work. However, it's nuts because every little phrase is a new section and it basically just blows. I do have a version of the original Excel at this point, but I have to go back and redo all the changes. It's pretty cool though being it is full of dropdown boxes and such. I keep thinking this fella is going to kick it and I'll start over with the proper form. It's all Handy's fault! Ha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20am
Mr. Pumpy:

mariano, I do appreciate the offer, and will keep it in mind. Last week was the most insane six hours I ever experienced while gaming. We fought four arch-druids, and all involved, for 6 hours straight. Two of eight of us died. It was brutal as fuck. Great time! We did find a scroll with some reincarnation spells on it. But it only goes so far. Coming back a yeti or badger or some shite! I hope you join us again some day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22am
mariano:

Franco: I was loving the trip down memory lane! I was class of '87. A lot of the earlier playlist reminded me of pretty much all the dances I went to from 8-12th grade.

No worries, Mr. P - sounds like a complicated form, now I'm not gonna be able to stop thinking of how to make one, lol. Good job surviving the slog, I'll have to make a guest appearance as a badger someday!

Hubig Pie:

Late nite tune in, good vibes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:29am
Mr. Pumpy:

Funny you should say that. If one of the two that died roll to come back animal, we seem to be rooting for badger! All good for me whatever they are. The thing is, both characters that bit it last week, which are only the first and second death since I began with them in April (April? damn!), both players couldn't make it and someone else ran the characters. So it goes. Not much else could be done. Handy was relentless, or I should say the druids were. We rolled in our favor a few times or we'd be halved proper. Failed to gain initiative in the last round. If we had, we might all be breathing. Badger pride!

This reminds me a little bit of Agent Ribbons. they weren't around long. They have a could of records and 7"es. Good stuff. Not this, the Anna Calvi track. www.youtube.com...

Mr. Pumpy, my copy of Psychedelic Jungle is signed by Lux, Kid and Ivy. They came to Poobah Records in Pasadena one afternoon in the summer of 1981. It was real hot outside and they were wearing black leather. That's dedication!

Mr. Pumpy:

Alright all. I'm at my house for one of the last few times as it is basically sold and I'm looking after my pops these days at his place. It's been a while, glad to have put in some hours this evening/morning with the Woof Moo crew. My motor is running and I'm going to run out and grab some hot food being the fridge is empty here. I'll be listening in the car. Great set, Mon Amie!. Peace and love.
