1 in LCS is probably realistically about eight, as in the lowest a normal person can get, (or maybe lower, I don't know LCS very well, 1 might be lower then a person can naturally get without brainwashing or gaining juice?) by the same token if 9 is the highest in LCS then it's probably equivalent to a 13.

Ah whut? The standard range in D&D is 3-18 for an un-modified stat (3D6). So just times the Wisdom in LCS by 2 and add one for the effective range in D&D

I dunno, walking up to someone and demanding to know when they're getting married is pretty rude in any language :P

You could roll stats, but in reality you don't, 95% of a D&D world is built on the non elite array, which is 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11. D&D will never directly translate to LCS because as I understand it the heroes and important people in LCS start with the same stats as the unimportant people, indeed even animals have the same stats. which is not the case in D&D. Also x2+1 isn't even consistent on it's face, since that would make the max 19.

I dunno, walking up to someone and demanding to know when they're getting married is pretty rude in any language :P
Regardless, it sounds like a sexual euphamism.

Isn't another phrase 'He left like a fart through hemp trousers' or something to that effect?

This doesn't seem like a strange phrase to me. Nor does the noodle thing.

Googled the word "work" and up came a box saying:

Where is work?
And then a prompt to enter my work address.

I mean, gee, I know we've been together for a while but I don't want you prying into my personal life like that Google.

That's ok, after checking the bus schedule around the same time enough days and commuting to work, google figured it out on it's own...

when I drive to work frequently enough, it gives me a 10 minute warning saying "you need to leave in 10 minutes to get to work on time"...

Coworker decided to take me to a mortgage loan closing, today.

That means sitting in a conference room twiddling thumbs for upwards of  FOUR HOURS. Still no end in sight

I feel like this is a clever pop-culture reference. I do not get it. But I appreciate the cleverness of your reference nonetheless.

It's a reference to WarGames, a film where an AI misunderstands a teenager and ends up almost nuking everywhere.
