pork chop sandwiches, football and pie in the face

i have to say the first DAY OF THE CHAD was a great one. each year  should get better and more popular as the Chads of the world find out

now it is coming to Fantasy football play offs...looks like my gambles did not pay off yet again. so i will not be getting any money..again. next year it is auto pick

at least my packers are doing well (so far). Moving Clay Mathews all over seems to have really helped. We will see sunday Vs New England

I have no gamer conventions until April (WHOSYERCON)
http://whosyergamers.org/


that will be the weekend before I open up the pool..so i will be rooting for April to arrive as soon as football is over

last week ish
i was in South Carolina.  I had a bet with my good friend jen that our friend Brian would see her first(photo bombing me)

she chose Heather seeing it first
well you can decide who won the bet

for the record, i let her chose first...so that is all her fault

it is best not to bet against me

now you know and knowing is half the battle

pork chop sandwiches

my fav starts at 2:31

Day of The Chad

i like day of The Chad, better.
so Wednesday before thanksgiving has been decided to be day of The Chad.  So it will easily be remembered.
A group of us Chads got together (it is 2015 so it was a quick Facebook post) and came up with a day.
This was the day it was going to be. That way the day changes every year.(other than being the day before thanksgiving

since I came up with Day of The Chad..I have decided (i took a vote and it was 1 to nothing) that I should be president of The Chad chapter
now some of you are asking why is there a chad day

well let me tell you why
#1 we decided..so it shall be

B. we wanted to be first..so the Taras of the world can copy us..we win

#5 we have a freaking country named after us...it may be 3rd world, but it counts..so suck it trebek

K.why the hell not. there is a day for everything else. we have people who are not pirates and walking around thinking they are on national pirate day..posers


so while the rest of you are getting ready for family crap. The Chads of the world will be taking a moment (at minimum ) or the whole freaking day and being Happy we are one of the Chads.
Day of the Chad 2016 will have Tshirts and stuff. We have to get the word out.

best things in life are

so I was sick as hell all last week and last weekend. Thanks Nerd-ebola
well i had to do manly outdoor things when I was sick as hell.
we had a snow storm coming in so stuff had to get done. I chopped wood for the fire place.

then it slowly started adding up

then finally all nice and neatly stacked

i ended up with 2 (completely split) 5 foot high, 1 foot deep and 6 foot long stacks of fire wood. i am pretty bad ass

so next
Put away all fall items and put together my snow blower and make sure it would run

then had to shovel(snow blow) the 0.25 mile drive way

so last weekend was a busy weekend
so as for my title..the best things in life are not free...they are the ones you have to work your behind off for

this weekend i went away for a mini work trip..i may post about that later

gamehole con day 2 part 2

so after the game, we ate at the hotel bar then prepared for the WORLDS worst dungeon crawl with you guessed it

hosting/dming the event
there were 4 seats sold at $50 each(none of us got those)
2 seats would have a roll off for $20 donation ...note the money for this event went to the  Madisonharvest food bank(which they raised over $1000 for)
Paul, Cory, Brando and I all donated. and got into the roll off(i big foam 20 sided die)
 of course I roll a 9, Paul rolls a 9, Brando rolls a 19, Cory rolls a 20..there were a bunch of other rollers too.
Cory was automatically in, Brando tied with the Gamehole con founder...so they had to roll again
brando rolled a 9..the other a 3

so brando won.

i was too busy laughing to pay attention to what happened in the first half..they all survived

the second half I was annoyed by a late arrival(to the audience )..he thought he was the funniest person ever...I did not laugh once..although, i almost punched him in the face once

long story short(too late)
the dungeon ended on a dream with the Dungeon Bastard kissing Brando on the cheek (he was roll playing as a princess) and Brando's character awoke in jail..the whole adventure never happened

side note
i finally got the post convention cold
I have Nerdebola

it sucks. trying to get well

gamehole con day 2 part 1

So saturday started off with Breakfast at Original pancake house in Madison(one of my favorites)

we loaded up on omelets and hash browns

we needed the energy.

Paul went off to play board games and Sesame street vs Cthulhu (he said it was awesome)

while Cory, Brando and I sat around and discussed a game Brando was running and helped him with some Dm ideas

Then it was time for our 6 hour marathon game with Luke Gygax

The Blighted Lands: Tower of Akbaba

a module Luke wrote and will be kick starting soon
we started off picking our characters I was a thief, Brando was fighter thief, Steve was some kind of archer, and Cory was a Cleric. the other guys were fighters etc
i was going to play a cleric /thief and I asked if i could change a spell to acid arrow(being me and being funny)
most of you wont get that joke..Luke Gygax if known also as Melf (Melf's acid arrow) by me not calling it that was a nice Ice breaker...plus Luke is a Bears fan and I was wearing my Packer Jersey
i ended up going with the regular thief

our group was given a map and a save the princess mission.
so we followed the map into the sewers
we had some mini battles along the way. spiders, dire rats, acid mold and some other things.
my character(being out front) took some damage along the way
we all made it to the tower and started our way up
first step was a trap..which we stepped over. brando was first and didnt see the trap on step7
to which he took fire damage and then rolled down the steps and landed on step one...and he took falling rock damage..which killed him
so we looted the body and finished the tower.

that was end of part one of the adventure
we didnt take many pics(none)
rapid sum of part 2

we had 6 rooms to go into to get us items to help with final battle
few arrows of dragon slaying. potions fire resistance etc
then we went up steps to free the princess...who was guarded by a dragon
so we potion up..i stupidly took 2 potions which on the roll chart canceled each other out

then spread out..fighters died with fire breath..
the 2 thieves tried to pick lock off cuffs to free the princess, could do it. magical locks...so they decided to cut her hands off...which got her away. the other thief took off and died.
so it was my halfling thief, leading the princess and dragon left. i took damage and made it to the stairs and down with 2 points left

the guy who hired us , showed up and said we failed..and killed me







part 2 is coming for the worlds worst dungeon crawl

gamehole con day 1

it was a great birth day
so we started out by eating blueberry doughnuts (great bday breakfast)
next we all got our badges, dice etc and headed out

we arrived at the con at 9 am ..1 hour early before cory started his He-man game (shadows over eternia )

HE-MAN vs Cthulhu!

I played awesome.
because I played  Orko

Paul played Skeletor(who i previously played at Scan Con 2014)

Paul totally avoided the second combat by casting cloud kill on  man e faces and his followers.(worse than Ebola)

that sped things up to which I had to bow out because I had a second game to go play and Steve took over Orko and played him well(ie he survived Cthulhu)
i asked Cory after, how it turned out. He-man punched Cthulhu 2 times and then chopped him down with his sword

game #2

I left early to go play Beastmasters of Yagga-Mor with the dungeon bastard

the game began on a cliff hanger from last time( we made up the cliff hanger)

and ended on one too...that is how the game is designed..based off of danger patrol game rules

to put it simply, it was an improv RPG..we made it up as we went along..created good and bad things to happen to us

my character was a mutant red ninja (think deadpool)

yes that was the name i chose

my pick of mutant power was..I could control all automated doors

the big turning point was we I announced i had had relations with ghoul queen and she gave me a STD(which was nanoites in my brain that was a bomb, which i learned from my friend Sudafed Cialis via holographic phone call)

we didnt die, but the cliff hanger we ended on was , i killed the queen(former lover) her husband wanted me now(because I was disguised as the queen to fool the guards)

 it was another great game.

cory had me do some trolling on the dungeon bastard

 I was wearing a Josh Carlson shirt (he is a friend of Cory, and old next door neighbor of the dungeon bastard)

half way through the game, the Dungeon bastard noticed it and asked about it.

I said I was in LA 2 weeks a go and saw him preform stand-up at a club...so he shook it off after he asked if I was trolling him...I said it all with a straight face

 Later Cory came up and told him..it made for a great memory 

i will work on day 2 later

played a game run by Melf(yes Melf's acid arrows melf)
