    John Finnegan - The Best of Us All - Rest in Peace

    Coming up on 6 years of JTF's passing. I'm blown away that this thread is still going...the last post being just over 5 years after his death. Speaks volumes of the man and the people who loved him. It reminds me, again, of one of the last things he had ever said to me, right after his...

    John Finnegan - The Best of Us All - Rest in Peace

    "Miss you, pal." Last thing John ever said to me. I return the sentiment ten fold. It's been 3 years, John, so you had better have one heck of a LARP event waiting for us on the other side.

    John Finnegan - The Best of Us All - Rest in Peace

    Amen. It really says what kind of wonderful person John was that, nearly 3 years since his death, time has not quite healed all of our wounds yet. That's what kind of presence he had and the impact he made in our lives...even if one only knew him for a short time.

    How to Convince People I Am Not Crazy...

    Lol. I never understood that. Why not use playing cards instead? Anything's better than the visual of black clad vampires resolving conflicts with Rock, Paper, Scissors. :lol:

    How to Convince People I Am Not Crazy...

    What I find odd is that I've met d&d table top gamers who think LARPing is goofy. Which seems strange to me that, of all people, they'd be the most likely to be open to it, since LARPs are basically an extension of the table top game.

    Favorite Movie Sequence

    Mine will always be towards the end of the Return of the Jedi...having the great fortune of being a part of the original kid generation of Star Wars fans, when the phenomenon was still just exploding into pop culture, I got to see it in the theaters when it debuted. When the Emperor was zapping...

    How to Convince People I Am Not Crazy...

    I've been doing this for a long time (since 1996), so, over that period, I've found some workable explanations. I usually tell them that it's kind of like Paintball, but with padded swords, meets the Ren Faire. For more lengthy discussions, especially with people skeptical of the idea...I...

    Barbarians, take heed!

    Grim, Your merry tone is in contrast with your name, like the burning touch of ice upon flesh. It can confuse people. I like that. -Bijorgrin the Jotun-Trickster -------------------------------

    Hail, good people! I believe in redemption for past crimes! Magistrate, let them say that they are sorry and forgive them! It worked wonders for me! I have been a greater villain than the Black Forest will ever be (whether blamed or otherwise)--and I was a great hero, before that--and yet I...

    Medical Certifications

    Re: Fire Extinguishers I could design a suggested layout for fire supression, depending on water supply hose (if any) or how many fire extinguishers we have.
