Bread and circuses

[jazzfish]

The Story of Bread: This is far too funny. I laughed out loud for the five minutes or so it took me to read it.

Origins. I laughed, I cried, I fell down, it changed my life. (Bonus points to people who recognise that and aren't vond.) Overall, good. Met up with chaosnymph, rikchik[1], sirleebutler, subbes, the_radix, ts52, ubiquity, and zyxwvut, plus a bunch of the LJless. Sadly missing from last year were cthulhia, elphie, mnemex, prog, queue, and Zarf. Real update coming tomorrow, as today was decreed to be a Vacation.

[1] I'm assuming that rikchik == dmm. Can someone confirm or deny?

Confirm.

[jazzfish]

Thanks much.
Where did the Rikchik originate?

[jazzfish]

*blink* Well, yes. More specifically: where did the idea for rikchik(s) come from? Or should I just ask him?

[queue.livejournal.com]

You know, I've never thought to ask. Asking him directly would probably be the way to go.

[1] yes

[cthulhia]

heck, I know Zarf's LJ name.

Re: [1] yes

[jazzfish]

[1]: thanks muchly.

I bow to your superior knowledge of Zarfness, and humbly plead that you divulge this information. (Although if you're talking about the RSS feed of LFLR, I recognise it by name.)

Saw no one :(

That settles it, next year I'm wearing kitty ears or something so that someone I know from LJ *might* see me across a crowded tournament hall and say hi.

If it's anything like this year, I'll be easy to find. Just look for the geek trapped behind a laptop in the WizKids tournament booth 'cause he accidentally revealed that he knew databases pretty well. :)

Sorry dude, I didn't notice you. There were a bunch of other people I didn't notice either :(

If you saw person wearing chainmail dress over corset, it might have been me.

'Salright... I wouldn't have had much time to socialize anyway. We were very well compensated for our weekend of work, I can't complain about that, but I sure didn't see any of the con.

Saw chainmail three times: once on a guy, once in a loose web worn as an overdress, and once as a bikini top; so I doubt those you.

I'm sorry I didn't get to go by Looney Labs, though. We need the new version of Fluxx.

Re: Saw no one :(

[jazzfish]

*laugh* Maybe. I scurried past the WizKids booth most of the time, to avoid being sucked into blowing my entire budget on MW and then bitching later about how I had no money and hadn't bought anything I meant to at Origins, so it's doubtful I would have noticed you even if you were wearing whole cats on your head.

Fluxx 3.0 is a substantial improvement on 2.1. The bonuses are actually useful now, for one thing, and the game just seems to go a lot smoother. (Except for the horrible hurting that is X=X+1 and the increased randomness that is First Card Random.)

DUDE

[jazzfish]

*checks shorts* Yep.

I'm sorry we failed to catch up with you again Sunday afternoon. Here's hoping I run into you sooner than next Origins.
