166: When Shall We Three Fuck Again?

[thefourthvine]

Recently, our household acquired a package of Pepperidge Farms Milano Cookies. Best Beloved read the package while I was eating the cookies (we have a fabulous division of labor in our household), and then sat bolt upright, totally riveted, and read me the following line of package text:

The perfect balance of two exquisite cookies embracing a

Yay threesomes!

Thank you! (I should have known that. How did I not know that?)

I love your recs beyond the telling of it (even for things I wouldn't read). This: But I totally buy that it would take two brilliant minds working in tandem to get him to figure out something he doesn't want to know. is just brilliant. As is the insight into the really big dice - see, I have learned something entirely new today, thanks to you!

[thefourthvine]

Thank you! Although, um. In all honesty, I have to tell you that knowledge of the many kinds of dice has never come in handy for me. But, well, maybe it will for you. Somehow. *hopeful look*

(And, really, John's repression and denial skills are second to none. He is the king of determined ignorance!)

I don't think I've ever commented on your recs before, but I wanted to tell you that quite often, I enjoy reading your recs as much as, and in some cases even more than, the fics.

And I don't mean anything negative about the fics. Your recs are just that great.

Hi! And thank you! (Both for saying hello and for saying nice things about me.)

*beams delightedly*

I can tell you humorous stories about various adventures that require a profound understanding of the alternate-rules third-edition system

I want to hear these! I could tell you about the time my barbarian (I can't believe they brought those back for 3rd edition) threw her two-handed sword at a magical disembodied head that was flying away and I rolled double 20s so she managed to impale it through the eye. Good times!

You know, the real tragedy was that when Best Beloved read this post, we began reminiscing about Campaigns of Old, and we both instantly went back to the one I ran where I had to fuck with the dice to keep my first-level party from getting killed by a deer. (They were, um. Spectacularly incompetent. Seriously, by the end of the night, they were hunting cows (actual quote: "And don't give us a healthy one, either! We want the lame and infirm!"), because the deer had totally bested them. And we had all hurt ourselves from laughing so hard.)

*sigh*

We are so uncool it's just amazing, but that's nothing compared to how uncool we used to be.

threw her two-handed sword at a magical disembodied head that was flying away and I rolled double 20s so she managed to impale it through the eye.Once, our DM was running us through that ancient three-module set of published adventures - the ones about giants? Anyway, my druid managed to throw her hammer and take out the giant leader/king guy, thus kind of ruining the big climactic fight of the

Heeee, the deer story is hilarious. I had a first level elven warrior I played for exactly three sessions. We got in roughly 10 battles during that time and she went to negative hit points in every one. Without fail. Didn't matter what we were fighting. She died when she accidentally jumped into a boiling lake of water. (She was standing right at the shore and I ASKED the GM whether there was anything strange about it and he said no. Don't you think she would've felt HEAT coming off of the surface? Not that I"m bitter still. *cough

::winces:: I had a first level psionicist get attacked by two third or fourth level fighters and their dog. We've been making jokes ever since about Mutt, Jeff, and the competent dog...

The cookies - longing for each other, staring at each other, thinking, god, so beautiful, so smooth and oval and golden. And they want to touch, but they can't. They can't. They're only cookies; how can they ever meet, when a cruel manufacturer has placed them in separate storage locations?

Have I mentioned that I love you? Because I do. Every time you post, it fills me with glee.

[thefourthvine]

Awww. I love you, too. *hugs you in a wildly inappropriate manner*
