RITA'S CXLVI: What's a Sweetheart Like You Doin' in a Dump Like This?

[Merey]

There are a bunch of signed scripts and such on Ebay.

There is also some Dragon Egg paperweights, or GoT related earrings?

A dragon egg paperweight would be fun and quirky. Sadly, I'm limited to Amazon due to the time constraints.

Dad had the electricity in the house upgraded last summer - last modernization was in the early 1950s, every bedroom still had just one ungrounded outlet - and they had to tear up some floorboards to get to the wiring. They found a bunch of ancient walnuts in the hallway floor and Dad remembered when his parents had a squirrel infestation in the 60s. No dusty skeletons, at least none we found, so apparently they managed to lock all of them out and not leave a squirrel stranded in the floor way back then.

I'm more worried about them being trapped outside. With no home!

Its a hat with a weapon theme. All the soul calibur swords.

I lovet that game. Just got the IOS version and am hooked.

Unicorn horn swords? Sparkly pepper spray? Spit balls?

I had to cancel my hunting trip for the weekend and am pissed. This was the one time we were gonna do the non lethal hunting.

What is non lethal hunting, and why would you want to terrorize poor little forest creatures?

Well, apparently (no confirmation yet), I'll be the first three weeks of January in Hamburg for a job. So if I suddenly disappear, I may have gotten that job ... or have been blown up by fireworks.

Is there no internet in Hamburg?

How could anyone miss the cold? That'd be like missing getting punched in the nuts, or brussels sprouts.

I would have agreed with you when I lived in Canada, and if I knew what it felt like to get punched in the nuts, or if I didn't LOVE brussels sprouts, but after living in Texas for 9 years, I crave the cold. And snow! I miss you snow.

Hmmmmm brussels sprouts.

They have been banned from my home because they make me fat. I miss you brussels sprouts!

Live in Arizona after growing up in the tri-state area. That will make you miss it.

See? worstblogever gets it!

I must have avoided CBR last night. Not banned and no PMs.

The real question is, what DID you do last night? I bet it involved peppermint. And ninjas!

Morning people.

Spent eight hours interviewing job candidates yesterday, on top of six hours of interviews Monday, and then 90 minutes coming to a decision...that is not an enjoyable experience. But now I am on vacation until January 2nd!

Hooray for vacation! Woo!

Good morning, nerds.

My husband says he's tired of me listening to the same 6 songs over and over. Also, clean out your fucking PM box! How on earth could you be that popular?



Good morning, CBRians! I'm sure you've already heard that I'm a winner! Which means you all lose. Woo!

yeah, I guess it was part of the season one collectors edition, too bad.

Fellow Nerds: Help!

So, my BFF's birthday is Friday and due to illness and whatnot, I'm behind the ball on getting her a birthday present. For birthdays we usually get one another something related to what the other is into at the moment. She is currently super into Game of Thrones. She's watched the show and read up through the third novel, but she's stopping there for now to savor it all for a bit longer. Anyway, can anyone recommend any related GoT/Song of Fire and Ice present? The best I've come up with is this board game which has decent reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-T...ame+of+Thrones

Art of Game of Thrones., but you have to buy them from the other sellers.

[Merey]

I went with the board game. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Now, can anyone think of something uniquely NY-ish (food-wise and sendable) that would make a good generic Christmas gift? As a New Yorker you'd think I would come up with something, but I'm just burnt-out with gift-buying, so all the ideas are a-drying-up!

Ah otherwise, I'd have suggested "Hedge Knight". One of the short stories that takes place in the same universe.

Foodwise, I have no idea.

I loved that fucking story.

Non lethal hunting is where you just sneak up behind the animal to touch it without scaring it off. It takes a lot of skill.

[Gryphon]

Ive started a series of threads on companies that give back to the people. The first is on WWE helping a boy with brain cancer meet his favourite wrestler and personal hero.

This is the best! Wait... you don't grab them and strangle them or anything, right? Just pet them, correct?

Would love to see some of those f***ng bear hunters try that.

[Athena Bast]

I have 19 pounds of cat currently asleep on my crotch.

No wait, 10 pounds are asleep, the other 9 has decided to groom the other 10. Omg the awkwardness.

[Gryphon]

This is the best! Wait... you don't grab them and strangle them or anything, right? Just pet them, correct?

Just lightly touch them and try not to scare them,

Would love to see some of those f***ng bear hunters try that.

Hunting bears isnt legal in canada anymore ( last I checked) I mainly hunt deer.

[Addams]

Oh, it's not like i have something against this activity, hunting wild boars is kind of a tradition where i live, but this particular hunt irks me.

You hunt for meat or population control. (which in the case of wild boars is serious business cause they can make quite a rampage on the fields if too numerous)

But to hunt other predators is plain useless.

Well the bear population in northern ontario is kinda getting out of control but nothing is being done about it.

Another member of my hunting club was invited to take part in the seal hunt along with some first nations groups. To the first nations canadians this was an important part of the year.
