I nearly sacrificed a processor this weekend, building a new system for Tairis'nadur to run it's next server on. Damn thing was running at 89 C!

Sent that one back for a replacement, heh.

I was just passed a note by a tall man in black, with a strange spiky helm.

The note states: This night a sacrifice will be made at Fort Karr to propitiate the Spirits of the Ether, hoping to aid in this great cause.

Apparently the Malekites have all agreed to fall on their swords/sycthes/sharp-stabby-things on the stroke of midnight (Eastern of course).
Bring your character in Greater Sanctuary (I don't trust those guys any farther than I can throw them) and bring some popcorn. Should be fun to watch.

Double negitives, so what? I feel sorry if ya'll ever come on down to Texas.

I've made my contribution. Don't ask me what it is. Let's just say that it's a good luck ritual that I use before every major event. Does it work? Well, everytime I've done it before a football game, we win with a score around 50-0 to 70-0.

Sacrificed my very First Western Digital 70-friggin-Megabytes Hard drive, down the hill to the Avenue, on my kid brother's skateboard (his first one !)

The God of Car Crash has been propitiated as well by the deed, or so I have been told.
