So your saying while on the can you would not want to be able to reach and get some cake? or maybe some mountain dew and cheetos? It would make the crapper a lot more enjoyable


I tried eating on the throne, once. Nothing bad happened. But there really isn't anything worthwhile about doing it, either.

Okay, next time you step into the bathroom, take a good deep breath. You've just inhaled a microscopic quantity of your own excreta. Do you really want that getting on your food? Accumulating over time, more arriving every time the door is opened? It may not be much, but it's more than I'd put up with. There's technically no such thing as "clean" or "sterile" in this universe, but I at least like to make a vague effort in that direction.


But you are forgetting it is in a mini fridge. And besides if it's everywhere and nothing is clean anyway it isn't worse for your body then any other food. Okay lets stop talking about mini fridges in the bathroom

Sorry, your theory has been debunked for awhile now. The microscopic particles you are talking about are called something like Fecal Choloforms and tests have shown they are everywhere in your house and not in significantly greater numbers in your bathroom, probably due to the air currents moving constantly throughout your house, etc... So every time you are leaving something open on your kitchen counter, it is getting just as 'coated' as if you left it in your bathroom.
Yum!

Well being raised in the rural South and in the Bible belt no less learning how to play AD&D was a challenge. I started playing when I was 15, a friend had a band mate that was a little older than we were so he'd GM for us. We'd go spend the weekend at his house and we'd start playing at midnight.

Now, my father is a good man, a mechanic worked hard all his life. I watched once when he was trying to get a bus started putting gasoline in the carborator. The bottle caught on fire and he held it until he could be sure my deaf friend and I were clear before he got rid of it.

He never learned how to read, but he's never seemed to need to. When I admitted I was playing D&D he got really angry, worried I was going to Hell etc. So whenever I would buy a book he'd look it over, flip through all the pages and if he saw a dragon anywhere in the book I had to take it back into the shop.

One night we were sitting on the porch and he said, "Son, I hope you aren't upset I won't let you play that Dungeons and Demons game, but I love you and I just want you to be safe."

I said, "Dad, you raised me to know right from wrong, didn't you?" He said that he tried his best. I then said, "Then why are you doubting I learned it?"

That's when he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Well tomorrow let's go get you some of those books you keep trying to buy."


This one touched me, too.

Well whatever. I knew the world was a s****y place anyway. I still think eating in the john's too gross for words. I ain't ever taking a book in there either.

As far as the benefit of the rest of Magic is concerned, gold cards in Legends were executed perfectly. They got all the excitement a designer could hope out of a splashy new mechanic without using up any of the valuable design space. Truly amazing.

Okay when I was about 13 I stumbled onto roleplaying while going to a local comic shop. In any case I made up my own rules and DMed very loose versions of what I supposed the game to be with my school chums (it wasn't real D&D but we had fun, so win). We would play during lunch and one time the shop teacher happened to be passing, overheard us, and realized we were roleplaying. He was very nice and told us it's the devil's game, that Satanists teach it to their children as some form of numerology (communion with dark forces, so to speak). But we never held it against him. That was just all he knew about the game. And frankly he was the only teacher at that school who I thought actually cared about kids.

Anyway, this was a revelation to me and my friends, and one that added an entirely new dimension to the experience. When he left us I said to me friends, "So we're going to hell?" and everyone said "Cool. :D"
Now it was extra cool to play because it might have something to do with supernatural forces that were malevolent to society, and therefore a possible power that could be harnessed, against bullies for example. When I got older and stopped believing role playing had supernatural power, the games lost a lot of the mystique. But it's still fun to pretend :D

But all Witchaloks are hermaphroditic androgynites!
