ijuin

The imp had an attack of three, and thus took three points of health per turn.

Well, no, that was the point of what the card does and what ijuin explained. The imp ally damages your opponent, not you. But it is a minor amount of damage, and you can't stop it. Hope can follow up with a card that triggers on attack and will consume your subsequent turns. It's all about control, not damage.

The imp is forcing Sarah into aggression—it has sealed off any possible moves by Sarah that would require her to complete a turn without making an attack (e.g. Hope could play a trap card that Sarah would have no choice but to trigger immediately).

She does at that.  The fact that she normally sleeps with me at night is an indication of that.

Although I have never comprehended how whiskey is in any way a desirable thing, I congratulate you on your purchase.

For some reason it hit me that a good shortened form of a cop pickup would be a cockup.

Not annoying

Lindburg delivers for free, plus the price on lamitcal went down by 25 bucks.  Getting my drugs this time was painless.  One phone call to Lindburg and that was it.  The even have my card on file so I didn't have to dig out the card and read off numbers.  I'm gruntled by this.

I keep misreading it as Tax avoidance thread.

Oh, since Leonard Nimoy was brought up on the Listening thread, I thought I would mention that Nimoy provides all of the narration for Civilization IV.

Added irony, the bear thought he needed fiber in his diet, and viewed the running shoes as an extra treat.

Dame Maggie Smith died this past Friday. I haven't seen much of her work, but her portrayal of Professor McGonagall was really well done (in fact I suspect I like the character better because of her).

So you get bonus points for going medieval on your opponents' asses?
