Yes, it's been a busy couple of months for me...

I'm leaving for the next 4 days for a Leadership Retreat for my stint as an
officer in our college's Campus Activities Board. Lucky me :]

So I get to spend several days with no computer access... :]

Try not to miss me too much, and anyone who brings up the damned Woodchuck
while I'm gone dies a slow, painful, agonizing death (Probably from Spike
or the others long before I get back :)).

Woodchucks... Hmm. That reminds me, there was a question I've bee=

meaning to ask, and I hear that the ShadowRN list was the best place to a=
sk
it.

*Why* would a woodchuck chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck woo=
d?




Is it just me, or has a fresh fish market moved next door?

I recommend immediate removal from the list for any mention of that
cursed beast.

Meanwhile, back in the Gurthcave errr. Stairs..., Spike hacks into the
itribe server and puts a total block on the name Tarek Okail, which will
only be removed when it detects a blockable mail babbling appologies....

Hm...to build a nest? Or to impress its partner? Oh, well, the ways of the
woodchuck are unfathomable...

Or wait... THE WOODCHUCK TOTEM:

Preferred Environment : The ShadowRN list
Advantages :
+1 die Manipulation (because it makes people post OT threads involuntary :) )
and Combat spells (people get angry just by looking at it...so it has to
defend itself!),
+1 die to conjuring Spirits of Man
Disadvantages :
-1 to Detection spells (Once a woodchuck is between your emails you aren't
able to look at something else - until you delete it.)
