  1. My manager just accidentally squirted a blob of hand sanitizer across the cube wall. It got me on the tip of the nose.
  2. There are definite risks. It's easy to break a tooth on those things. Not to mention the damage to your spiritweb...

    Hello!

    Thou art wise in the ways of the Shard, tiny newbie. Welcome to our domain!
  4. Right.
  5. In all honesty, I don't get on well with most of the Greek pantheon. Hades and Persephone are major exceptions, and most of the time Apollo is a relatively decent dude. But most of the rest of them...yeah. He sensed the mummified monster within!
  6. Horses are actually quite fragile, considering how strong they are. They're living, breathing creatures with limited stamina reserves. You run one that hard for that long, there's a 100% chance that horse is going to be dead or broken at the end, assuming it even makes the entire trip without collapsing. You don't want to be riding a horse when it collapses from exhaustion; it's a bad plan. For that matter, Sazed almost certainly made the trip faster than a horse could have. Also consider: to use speed in a combat situation safely would require a great deal of practice and fighting skill. Granted, Saze could strengthen himself with stored pewter as well, which makes him a more dangerous opponent than a straight Steelrunner, but he would have to have sufficient reserves of both attributes in order to be combat-effective, and even then the amount of strength he'd have to tap would increase his muscle size as to reduce his dexterity considerably. Shadows of Self spoilers:
  7. Woot! Sharder party! (OK, it'll be a tiny party, but still...) I've heard rumors of people in Mistborn cosplay flinging pennies at each other in the halls.
  8. I mean really, think about the scenario for a moment. You're Persephone. Sure, you're a young goddess, but that's only in comparison to everybody else. You're freakin' eternal, man, and yet your mother is a super-clingy type who wants to keep you in pigtails for at least the next millennium. And then one day you meet Hades. He's tall, dark, handsome, and has that whole Underworld dark lord thing going for him. Hell yes he is hot. So you run off with him. And Demeter blows a rusting gasket. You realize that while you thought maybe Mum would get used to it, she's not half as mature as you are and can't handle it. The world is going to suffer, and it's going to suffer hard unless you suck it up and play little girl again. But...you're in luuuurve. This won't do. So you eat the pomegranate seeds as a ploy to live your life in both worlds, and it pays off. Except Mum's still righteously pissed and tells her version of the story to everyone, and it's not like the humans are going to argue with the goddess who makes their fields grow. So you get your half-year with your husband, but now everyone thinks he's a jerk. Yep. Dresden Files fan. Amusingly enough, he lives in my metro area, and yet I've only ever seen him at Dragon*Con.
  9. When management "doesn't like it when you go straight to HR" that's a red flag. To me, that says that the KNOW they're doing bad things and want to discourage people from calling them out on it.
  10. But this hit my Facebook feed today, and it gives me warm fuzzies; https://www.facebook.com/924989640853165/photos/pcb.1148552501830210/1148547005164093/?type=3&theater
  11. Get thee to your HR rep!
  12. Yeah. Bunny Foo Foo is not a happy drunk.
  13. Actually, it's pouring Bailey's or Kahlua into the hollow chocolately goodness that gives them their distinct flavor. (What? Why else do you think that Bunny Foo Foo was foolish enough to defy the fairy's orders while sober, did you? Of course he was drunk.)
  14. There are books published as well as web pages with instructions on how to crochet amigurumi. You should check them out. All it takes is practice to get good; I've only been doing it for three months.
  15. I'm just gonna leave this thing that hit my Facebook feed right here...
  16. Or enjoy a delicious Bunny Foo Foo. (The Lindt gold bunnies are perfect for this; good, thick chocolate shells and a solid seal. Just poke them a bit to make sure you don't get a broken one.)
  17. Well, all right. But only 'cause it'll make you happy.
  18. Yeah, at least half of that is Voidus. Really tempted to go find a Hypnotoad gif.
  19. Oh, those halcyon days before the tech bubble burst, and companies could afford to send everyone free coasters!
