What's the silliest thing you've done this week?

[Omnius]

^ Details, please!

It's been ages since I last roleplayed and I want to remember what it was like.

His name is Gabriel Frost. He used to be a 3.5 edition character, but our group wanted to play in the Eberron Campaign Setting again, so I decided to "upgrade" my old character to 4th edition.
Gabriel is a half-elf bard (actually 8 levels bard, and 3 levels ranger so I can stand my ground in combat). Bards mostly excel in charisma and are quite keen in gathering intelligence, intimidation, diplomacy, bluffing etc. Back in the day he wanted to become a Master Inquisitor, solve crime and stuff, but he decided to go into adventuring. He used his talent in the dungeoneering business and made his fortune.
On his last adventure though one of his companions, "Flash the pink warforged" (dont ask), was lost in time & space after attempted to vanquish a demon, so Gabriel decided to take it easy for a while, and recently decided to get back in business.

Role playing Gabriel is quite a blast, my own singing qualities are somewhat lacking, but I don't really care, as long as my dice rolls are high enough. And really my companions shouldn't complain when my singing helps them by giving them a +2 on attack and damage rolls!

I walked behind kiddo on his tri-cycle with a rope to hold onto him so he wouldn't scoot down the hills. Felt like I was taking the dog out on a leash

 

[Aurian]

^ And then you sat down on the basket and hitched a ride

 

[Angry Angel]

I might be silly, but I'm not stupid! I pushed him up the damned hills to begin with! I deserved a ride.

 

[Warp Coil]

Called in sick at work (something I never do) so that I can work on a paper for school, but in reality I spent very little time on it and watched my BSG 4.5 DVDs instead.

Both of you still got your front teeth?

The silliest thing I did today was get totally and utterly addicted to Fat Princess on PS3. Hungryyyyyyyyy!

 

[An Officer]

I picked up a salad, instead of the McD's quarter pounder meal I really wanted. Now, I'm hungry and I'm pissed.

 

[Dr. Horrible]

I spent yesterday doing everything in the form of mime.

And everyone let you live??

He wasn't even punched. That, in the mime industry, can be considered a victory.

The checkout lady in Waitrose did look a bit annoyed, but she didn't call security. Me waving my credit card and pointing at the card machine did the trick. She did make an interesting gesture back, but I assumed she was joking.

Everyone loves an amateur mime. It's the professional ones that piss people off. In my opinion.

Don't Maccie D's burgers have lettuce in them? Best of both worlds, surely.

Maybe I'm thinking of gherkins. That's not so good.

 

[An Officer]

Did you give the checkout lady the two finger sign for double-bagging?

Damn! Lettuce - that's right, then there's the crushed tomatoes in the ketchup, and of course the lovely calcium in the cheese... I just don't reason these things out enough at the actual time.

The silliest thing I did this week was taking my nephew to the local arcade and racing the "go carts" there with a bunch of 11-13 year olds.

Also, Hubby and I sang along, at the top of our lungs, to 80s hits in the car, while my nephew did a lot of eye rolling in the back seat.

Those things can be death traps, especially when two, three people decide to bang you from all sides consecutively. Every sadistic little boy in the lot seems to make a beeline for me. I'm sure I've suffered whiplash on those contraptions.

I meant "bumper cars". I probably wouldn't be here to tell the tale if that happened with go carts.

 

[Dr. Horrible]

Did you give the checkout lady the two finger sign for double-bagging?

No. Double bagging sounds rude, and I wouldn't be rude to the lovely old dear behind the till.

Besides, I'm a good environmentalist - I bring my own bags. I take great pleasure in going to Waitrose with a Sainsbury's bag. And vice-versa.

Indeed - at face value, a Maccie D's is a healthy meal in itself.

My Dad used to do that to me and my Sister when we were younger. Sadly, he's still alive and still does it at every opportunity.

Aww, I miss role playing! Gabriel sounds fun.

I used to play quite unprofessionally with a close knit group of friends. I remember being a dwarf, but must admit to having forgotten the name.

 

[Dr. Horrible]

^Galadriel?

 

[Me-Ike]

^ Name my dwarf after an elf! Blasphemy!
No, no. I'm sure it was something fierce and dwarf-like ... Bobo, or something.

 

[Dr. Horrible]

^I'm not good with dwarfs. They all look the same to me.

Elfs clearly have Dwarvish names. They're just tall Dwarfs, after all.

Don't you realize that parents do that *on purpose*? The more embarrassed you get at something, the more we'll do it!

The silliest thing I did was throw my 9 year old son into the pool fully clothed. When I picked him up, both he and my wife thought I was joking and would stop just before!

Blasphemy!


This week I went to the music store to pick up some strings. There was a guy there who had an amp up to 10 and was trying to shred. He was awful.

So I found a guitar, an amp, and turned her up to 11 and played Stairway to Heaven.

 

[Me-Ike]

^ That's not silly, that's showing-off. A synonym for awesome.

As a close virtual friend, deeply interested in your well-being, I advise you to not take that cruise to Moria.
