Walks Like a Woman, Talks Like a Man

I could be wrong about this …

Lola

… but I’m gonna guess the guild tag is fitting.

Here’s some more examples of the loving, supportive community in Guild Wars:

I love you too

Tard

Only Twice

(he’s a bigger person than me … I’ll only admit to one dumass mistake per day MAXIMUM)

***

Choosing this name was his second mistake …

Sigh

… the first was not reading the AFK Gamer rules for character names. *sigh*

I kind of like this name:

Boy Oh Boy Ardee!

I’m not a fan of canned pasta products, but I’d like him in the guild just so we could sing “Boy oh boy ardee” in TeamSpeak … would make a great battlecry too. (And a welcome change of pace from the current battlecry of “LEEEEROYYY” that everyone and his mother is doing nowadays.)

I don’t even know why people ask me anything about GW anymore.

Hell if I know

That’s pretty much my standard answer to everything. Isn’t it clear by now that I know nothing? (Ya. Ya, it is.)

Speaking of evil, and I usually am, AFK Gamer had the mark of the beast over the weekend.

Mark of the Beast

I didn’t want to point it out at the time — widespread panic and all that. Stand down, fundamentalists! The Lucifer Alert Level is back to the usual yellow.

Few months ago, one of my coworkers was picking up the tab at Starbucks and the total was $6.66. He bought some Starbucks gum to change the total. Seriously.

(Starbucks has gum? People buy extra to avoid $6.66? Jesus, kill me now, this world has nothing to offer me anymore.)

I asked if he always did that when a bill came to $6.66. According to him, that was his first time.

He has never again suggested we get coffee.

  1. Odd that you mention the Mark o’ the Beast – I’ve bumped into this phenomenon too, where an otherwise normal-looking acquaintance simply MUST add or remove something from their total to avoid the dreaded 666. I’ve heard the same fuss raised over some random license plate numbers (but this was a *long* time ago).

  2. A friend of mine was born 06/06/1966, we keep an eye on him from time to time just in case…

  3. Is his name Damien? I’m a little rusty on my Omen lore, but I think the spawn of Satan has to be staked in the heart while in a church or on other hallowed ground.

    Good luck with all of that. The fate of humanity is in your hands.

  4. When I worked as a cashier back in the day it was pretty common to ring up someone for $6.66. I’d say a good %90 of people would buy something extra. It feels good to outsmart the Devil.

  5. The way I see it, he’s been wandering this earth for 40 years now and nothing untoward has happened so far. What harm can it cause?

  8. Once when I was shopping, someone was on the intercom saying stuff like “could I have a team member in house-wares dial (then they lowered their voice demonically) SIX SIX SIX, And ‘Clean-up on aisle SIX SIX SIX.’ And other such common store intercom messages with ‘six six six’ inserted in. My friends and I thought this was pretty funny, imaging some bored employee who maybe told the intercom access code to some friends for a good laugh.

    THEN, when we checked out, our total was $6.66.
