Post a random fact about yourself.

I'm not even 30 yet, and I'm turning grey big time already.
Also, too lazy to dye it.

@Lyly

I've got one to make you chipper. I'm 50+ and as long as I shave regularly, you can barely see any grays at all. ;)
Oh yea, I wear a high and tight haircut all the time so it is almost skin tight on the sides and back too. But the top of my head is still covered in dark brown hair. My sister on the other hand had your problem at thirty and dyed it regularly.

At least zero of my favorite television shows are animated.

Spearhead in the Gap; A WWIII war game (1985)

The lead reconnaissance company knew they were coming close. The right platoon, containing the 2nd and 4th Recce sections climbed the hill ahead of them to get a better look at their front. The BMP section went a little higher on the ridge while the BRDM section remained closer to the road. The left platoon continued along the road west of Altfeld until they began hearing spot reports from the other platoon. Then the platoon leader ordered the platoon into the high ground, heading for the woods for concealment.

The reconnaissance company spotted several enemy Abrams platoons and a few Bradley platoons in the hills to their front. They all began reporting these sightings back to higher headquarters.

Meanwhile A Company, 1st battalion, 91st Panzer regiment headed through the valley to their front prepared to attack into the enemy positions they had previously spotted. The first two platoon spotted the armor platoon at the far north end of the enemy position. They attempted to fire on the dug in position and missed all shots.

The Americans returned fire up and down the line with cannon fire and missiles. Although the range was still near the extreme range, the 4th Recce section was eliminated by a combination of mortar and cannon fire. Also, the 2nd platoon, A Company was fired upon by Bradleys using TOW missiles which destroyed three T-80 Main Battle Tanks in the middle of the priority road.

Oberstleutnant Heinrich was prepared to take a few losses. HE was not about to give up. He ordered the remainder of his unit to continue forward and prepare for a general assault into the enemy positions.

Phineas became uncomfortable with the religious conversation, refusing to comment. He came from a very religious catholic family from north of Boston and knew everyone was a sinner and that he need only confess his sins to his pastor, and attend regular mass in order to receive Mary’s graces to get into heaven. He had always tried to live a life free from sin, but this world was very different. It was more like Satan’s temptations of Jesus in the desert out here in the… desert.

Billy did not want to go on about religion with Misthikoman too, his Baptist teachings were not sufficient enough to continue. He could talk about the bible, but didn’t want to continue that conversation. Then he noticed most of the people Grainger hired back in Sweetwater were fixed on the little boy. At first Billy didn’t understand why, then understood when the rebel asked the boy where his momma or poppa were. “Hey boy! You might be right,” Billy intoned. “No one is the boss a’ you, but where are yer momma and poppa?” It seemed as everyone was now curious about the boy. Even Finney picked up on it, looking at the boy.

Yup, Grimm remains one of my favorite urban fantasy shows to date :)

@StormWolf

Speaking of Grimm. ;) I was contemplating doing a RolePlay on "The Dragon's Tongue" which is the Japanese Royal family version of the Verrat. I was looking at having them in some association with the Japanese Yakuza. I haven't come up with a plotline I would wish to follow yet. One twist I have is the player characters would have achieved some form of immortality during the Edo Period. They held an occupation that suits the Yakuza; gambling, money lending, racketeering or flesh market. This means they would not be Samurai or Ronin. That does not mean they would be unskilled in the martial arts. quite the opposite actually, since they would have hundreds of years of training under their belts.

I enjoy running.
I spent 21 years in the military. Running was a condition of employment.
You have two choices. You can either love it or hate it.
I found it best to love it rather than hate it. It does make life more enjoyable. :)

@The Harbinger of Ferocity
Oh, definitely. Supernatural communities are expected to police themselves, and they will of course pursue their own interests, and that manner of political maneuvering is 100% viable.

@StormWolf

The act of policing ones own supernatural community was explored in depth in the Television show, "Grimm". They had the Wesen Council as well as the seven royal families who in turn had their own security forces; all of whom were of some supernatural species.

I hate the song “Take On Me” and I can’t stand hearing it all the time at work. It genuinely irritates me.

@nyoom

Loved that song in 1985 when I saw the video on MTV.
