Having finished "fun" reading for the next few years ;) , I'm back to "work" reading, so y'all probably won't hear much of me in this thread for a while. :(

(By "work" I mean things like Prof. Ilaria Ramelli's recently released 850 page supplement to Vigiliae Christianae, The Christian Doctrine of Apokatastasis, assessing five or six hundred years worth of patristic documents on the topic. Which is what I'm chugging through now at 85ish pages a day. I'm halfway through.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Keeping in mind, the non-illustrated version already costs north of $350...!  ;)

(Not joking about the actual cost, thus why it's so funny for me to read that.  :o ;D )

lol - what mind altering drugs have you taken this morning Jason

what costs £350??

bob48

$350 Geek not £££, and I suspect Jason is referring to a copy of his own book, and nothing as tasteless sublime as geordies and pease pudding.

Indeed, it's one of those tomes NEVER MEANT FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC BUT ONLY FOR SAD ELITE SCHOLARS WITH NO LIVES THE TIME AND TALENT CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING! And also for university libraries.  :D

That book cost me ten good videogames not on sale. But an argument could be made that +$350 of pease pudding would be more immediately useful. :)

(Reference research titles of this size are regularly priced super-high due to low demand and high production costs. It's normal enough in academia, and a main reason why university libraries exist. Unfortunately, where I live, I have to build my own collection of reference materials for writing papers and other ultra-geeky tasks, although the internet helps a lot nowadays.)

Finished whatever frothy romance I'd been reading, and read Fundraising Habits of Supremely Successful Boards on Saturday while the kiddos were at an event at the library, and have since started The Woman Who Fell from the Sky, which is about an American female journalist working in Yemen.

frothy???   ???
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

1.  I was kidding.  Being ironic.  Facetious.  I tried to read a trashy romance novel once.  I actually made it halfway through, but then became bored.
 
2.  You guys really need to get out more.
