I didn't hear anything about rampaging radioactive lizards today...then again, apparently there was a football game and I didn't hear anything about it either, so.

Godzilla attack.

Godzilla's losing it if that's all the damage it managed to do.

She's old. What more do you want from a pensioner?

Grandkids?

Saw such a ridiculously nasty wreck today that I'm still wondering just what went down. It was a box truck (not a tractor-trailer like what I drive), apparently flipped upside down and appearing slightly flattened, closing down three of the five lanes of freeway, and among the numerous emergency vehicles and heavy-duty tow trucks I saw a vehicle with the words "HazMat Response" on it. This was a fairly smooth, flat, straight section of freeway and there were no other wrecked vehicles that I could see, so what the hell happened?

Where, exactly?

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW?!

...Eastbound I-580, near Vasco Road I think it was. It's a pretty busy area at the best of times but having so many lanes closed just made everything worse.

I just found out halflings are basically hobbits.

*  Cmega3 looks at Bilbo Baggins

Wat?

That's not actually a surprise [...or a WTF either >_>] (halfling==hobbit) if you read the lore behind the story.

[RedWarrior0]

Halfling is a name for hobbit in LotR. Also, they were initially hobbits in the game, and then they changed it for IP reasons.

[miauw62]

Pretty much.
Halfling is a different name for Hobbits, even in the LOTR universe. (But in many other universes (mainly roguelikes) too)

Had the odd realization this morning that despite the years I've been on this board, I haven't actually made any friends on it. Lots of friendly acquaintances, but no friends. Might just be because I have a lot of RL friends and haven't ever felt the need to cultivate more friendships.

But it still struck me as kind of odd.

I really want to know what on earth was going through his mind when he did that

Well it's not too strange... There's hardly any one-on-one communication here, and it lacks real-time chemistry. Friend-making is IRL business, or at the very least requires direct feedback (like chat).

Boar Head Update:
It's rotting now, and (according to my brother) is covered in maggots.

It also stinks to all hell.

[Bauglir]

So, it's... outside, and fairly far away from the house, right? .... Right?

[SOLDIER First]

actually it's in his room yes, it is, thankfully.
