Re: In other news...
I used the word 'melee' in an official report. I took some flak over it, until the Sheriff said it was a good descriptive.

Melee is okay, but if you use "hit points" or "saving throw" in the same report, things will probably degrade from that point.

I have used the term "buggered" in official documents before... As in the "situation got more buggered up after that..."

What gives me a good if painful laugh every time I think of it, and probably will forever, is thinking how well the American Irish mob has assimilated with the descendants of Cromwell's mob. Yeah, the regicidal theocratic murderous former Communists and ancestors of Progressives. Same ones that certain people here have argued as religious authorities.....

I spent a week in Boston one night. The only thing that would set me off is knowing that I couldn't leave.

I like Boston and surroundings, or at least I used to. Lived there a while, wouldn't mind visiting wouldn't want to stay. Mostly it would be a sightseeing comfort food crawl. I have family about an hour south and west, that's the closest I'd stay.
