I have never for the life of me understood putting mayonnaise on a burger. I hadn't even heard of such a thing until we got stationed in California, and apparently that's the default there (as I found out the first time I ordered a burger in a restaurant and nearly choked on the unexpected...

A version of the Hellfire Club also featured in an episode of "The Avengers" (during the Mrs. Peel years) called "A Touch of Brimstone." And, of course, there's also the Hellfire Club made up of mutant villains that appear in the "X-Men" comics. Johnathan

Some 3.5 templates grant the PC wings: half-celestial (feathered), half-dragon (draconic, but requiring a creature of Large or larger size), and half-fiend (bat wings). But Goodman Games' The Book of Templates has what you're probably looking for: the Flying template, which adds flight via...

I agree with Whizbang Dustyboots...but I also really do like big rubber suit monsters, Western and Japanese. Johnathan

When I was stationed in Maryland, the barber I frequented not only cut my hair to my specifications, but told me all about my aura - specifically, what color it was that day and whet that usually meant. He was decent old guy, but I kept going back to him because he was a good barber, and all of...

I'm now reading Burn to Shine, the last (so far) novel in the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry...which means when I finish this one, I'll have to go read somebody else for awhile until he comes out with a new one. But this is almost a direct continuation of the previous book, Cave 13...

There's a place by us - Sickie's Garage - that serves a cheeseburger where each of the buns (top and bottom) is a full-fledged grilled cheese sandwich (on white bread). I tried it once on a whim and it was okay, but I doubt I'll ever need to eat a second one. Johnathan

Nothing too fancy: burgers cooked at home, on regular old hamburger buns, topped with cheese (American, Swiss, or Cheddar, take your pick), bacon, sweet pickles, mustard, and ketchup, plus lettuce if it's available - it's the least essential component of our burgers, and generally isn't missed...

Stopped formian incursion, rescued modron. Johnathan

If you did, given those fingerprints, I guess you'd be a "smooth criminal." Johnathan

I remember enjoying the Justicar and Estrella novels: White Plume Mountain, Decent into the Depths of the Earth, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits. They featured a male ranger, a female pixie, and a sentient hell hound pelt, of all things - not your standard D&D party. But they went through the...

If you really want to break your brain, throw some nilbogs into the battle.... Johnathan

I like touching grass more than you like touching grass. Like, way more. Johnathan

Years ago, I took my little nephew to go see a "Thomas the Tank Engine" movie - "Misty Island Rescue," I think it was. After the movie was over, as we were walking down the stairs in the theater, some other little kid pointed at my nephew and announced, "I like Thomas more than he does." His...
