What's the freaking problem I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism and turn whoever into a real beautiful woman. [even the furries]
I meditate to regain my mana, before casting Lvl. 8 Cock of the Infinite. [even the toughest chainmail cannot withstand its Infinite might, and hense it's name]
Then I spend my mana reserves to cast Mighty F*ck of the Beyondness. [anyone got a cigarette, you can pass it through the bottom of the mattress, babe.]

Proof that donning a robe and wizard's hat = +100d100% chance at sex. [-50% for the undead, unless necro is a specialty feat]

1. Live Action Role Playing
Public Humiliation: 100%
Live action role playing, or LARP, is a nerd?s parent?s worst fears come true: Dungeons and Dragons has finally made their child go crazy. These people dress up like fantasy characters and go on adventures where other nerds play the parts of enemy monsters, which would be fine if the participants were in the second grade. When adults do it, it?s like a renaissance faire and backyard wrestling met, had demonic babies, and gave them weapons.
Damage to Sex Life: 100%
If you and your team of paladins are thinking about leaving your mom?s basement to move your fantasy quests into society, you might as well leave your genitals behind.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Aside from the barbarian clothes and giant monster heads, it?s impossible to know who might be LARPing. The only way to be sure is when they throw make-believe fireballs at you from their very fingertips, but by then... it?s already too late.


:D LOL!! :D

Distinguishing Characteristics: Overweight, casually strolling into the center of the room, and then when you least expect it, bursting into a blinding Jedi combat storm with a golf ball retriever.

Ahhhh SWK...

4. Everquest
Damage to Sex Life: 99.8%
While other geek hobbies act as intercourse repellent, this game is so addicting to its users that it will actually destroy any sex life they might have, through some kind of groin miracle. And with all the male players pretending to be girls to get magical gifts, no one?s inter-gender social skills are going to be finely tuned when or if they ever pull themselves away from imaginary adventuring.

I've seen it happen. One day he's talking about how he was headed over this girl's house that evening - and the next he was talking about how his cleric will be level 60 in a month if he can keep up the productivity that he had last night. When I asked what happened with the chick, he just says "Oops. I forgot."

And now he plays magic cards and I keep my distance.

I, on the other hand, know how to have sex appeal and still be a nerd - show off my immense finger skills by dicking around with random computer hardware and typing 300WPM on ATOT. Oh, and I also help cheerleaders mix their godawful performance tracks. But that's no fun. I think I managed to transfer that wonderful responsibility to a freshman this year, or maybe we don't have cheerleaders. I don't know.

No, wait, we definitely have cheerleaders *drool*. Heh. I guess I *DID* manage to con a freshman into doing that. I could never get any off those dumb slvts anyway.

That's pretty fooking cool, really. Do you build anything to make use of these engines?

LOL the funny thing about LARP, is that anybody who's ever been to one, knows that there's a lot of swinging going on at those places (losers amongsts losers though). Especially if you attend the gothic/vampiric LARPs.

Let's hope none of them breed.

I haven't, although I would like to..

I actually haven't been very active in the hobby lately.. It's more of a winter thing. It's fun to go out to a nice warm shop on a short, cold winter day and build an engine up. :)

My oldest (and only that I've truely restored so far) is a Briggs and Stratton Model Y built in Febuary 1931. In its previous life, it served as a humble washing machine engine.

It was in pretty good shape when I got it. Just needed to be freshened up. Whoever owned it before took good care of it, and it saw a lot of use. Cylinder wear was .005! Compression was only ~45 due to that an a very worn exhaust valve. It still started and ran good, though it smoked bad.

The plain bearings' babbit was completely gone on the PTO bearing. Locating a replacement bushing was a PITA. Heh..
