The party found a luxurious room in the dungeon and went to ransack the place, ignoring the DM's description. There was supposed to be a giant bear in the place (acting like a rug or something) but no one noticed. A bit peeved, the DM had this bear attack the lot of us from out of nowhere, and by surprise.
 "Wait a minute! You never said there was a monster here!"
 "Sure I did. [reads] 'In the room there is a chair, bear, table...'"
Later the DM tried it again:
 "You see a chest, dragon, flagon..."
He didn't get any farther.

Me: OK, I know this bid went horribly wrong for you last hand, but Two No Trump.
LHO: Pass.
Part: Pass.
RHO: Double.
Me: ...wait, is this the hand we just played?
All: *sigh*

I don't know, but it's a full round spell, so it's probably bad. Let me rephrase, "The unarmed woman! Shoot the unarmed woman!"

DM: *rolls* Okay, the anitmatter grenade sails in a perfect arc into the creatures mouth and it swallows it. I'm wondering why you left the grenade unprimed.
Fighter:*grins* Those digestive juices? What'll be the first part of the grenade that fails?
DM: The casing, I gue...*comprehension* *facepalm* You are all okay, because you're shielded by the neutronium armor.
DM: Great game, guys.
DM: But now I have to revise my notes significantly.

Rickrolled. Being rickrolled is when a hapless internet surfer clicks on a video link, but instead is brought to a music video of the 80's pop star Rick Astley. A video tutorial of how not to be rickrolled can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSsJ19sy3JI

I feel that this book started out well but lacked something of an ending. The writing styles change intermittedly and seem to lack something of a finesse, blatantly stating things that cannot be taken literally or figuratively well enough to purvey a superior understanding of the text.

Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration.

Come to think of it, anyone with snapshot previews will actually see that link. [looks] Yep, that's what I assumed. I don't know if that makes the quote funnier or less funy :)

...and indeed http://en.wikipedia.org/Rickroll

Oh, whoops, apparently I got the attribution wrong. Sorry everyone, edited. That quote was from cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com, no, wait wiki.answers.com or rickrolled.com.

In a random small-world moment, I have a strong suspicion that I know the recipient of the commuting-suitable unicycle, but not the lender...

[captain-aj.livejournal.com]

I loaned it to a guy called Alan (who had just had his bike nicked). Does this match up? :-)

Indeed!

[alextfish.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's precisely the man! Alan used to share my flat, and I still see him reasonably often. (Though I won't when he moves out of Cambridge :( ) Are you his unicycling partner in crime, races, and goodness knows what else? :)
