Interesting how this thread has turned into a live blog...surprised Al didn't just blog his entire run or something.....

This is the 'burbs....no muggings or shootings. Jerry Jones wouldn't allow it so close to his new stadium. However, we will drive across Dallas tomorrow, so we'll pack some heat and roll up the car windows...

Don't forget to fine tune the suspension and hydraulics so you can hip-hop your grill, dawg.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

It seems I may have a spot or two open on Fri. night; are the British Isles ready for old school dungeoneering? Not that I want to put too much pressure on you, representing the UK and all.

Never mind. I see you are in for Sat.

I've only ever played 1st ed AD&D, so should cope!

But distance prevents... maybe another year!

Al, when in doubt, just say "How 'bout them Cowboys!" to anyone you might meet. White, black, tall, short, male, female, it doesn't matter: it's their language down there.

Just in case you weren't sure, when someone wants to 'hep' you, it has nothing to do with hepatitis (well most of the time anyway), they're just being friendly.

"And them" works in many parts of the South and Southwest, too.

As in: "What are BadMike and them doing for lunch?"

Remember that "pen" has two syllables in Texas.

(And it could be fountain, ballpoint, straight, or safety.)
