Bowmore put up a recruitment post in the TG main recruitment thread, which was a good idea. I didn't realize we could do that, there used to be some weird rules about where you could post mafia stuff.

There's no rule about it in the Recruitment first post, FYI. It doesn't come off as weird or anything - it's just another play-by-post game.

I have a rule now to not trust the pictures of anyone online who don't show their teeth.

I mean it's one thing to be snobby about food, but it's another to be ok with eating at a place like CF or Applebee's. Have some self-respect. You're a human being, a biological marvel, and a temple to God.

I'd rather eat at a McDonald's than an Applebees. At least I'd have an appropriate expectation of quality. Every single time I've gotten a salad at an Applebees/Chili's/TGI Friday's it's been swimming in either water or outlandishly thin dressing.

If I don't get enough people for my game I guess I can shelve it for later.

Speaking of: Mega Man Mafia (M3) is ready for sign-ups. I read the previous two Mega Man Mafia games and I think this one will be different enough to interest players.

I grew up with my grandpa as the Father Figure. This was okay, 'cause he was hard working and loved me a lot, and he always wanted a son anyways. The problem is that mom and I lived with him and my grandma for most of my life, and my aunt was around a lot and we're pretty buddy-buddy, so my grandpa frequently referred to my mom and aunt as "your sister". This eventually spread to my grandma, and then my mom/aunt through repetition. So at least once I had to explain to a friend that I was not the product of incest.

I hate my dad.

This might be crazy but some part of me always likes to think 'yeah so what, everyone has a partially hosed up dad, mine is just moreso', and I hate all of you for actually having such great stories. It just irks me because I know I can't hold that belief and reconcile it with 'and of a random sampling of 20 random people I met on mafia threads, all 20 said they liked their dads'.

It's not so much that I want a do over and a new dad who gets things right, it's just that part of me feels like I have to carry a loving horrifying burden with me considering the damage he's caused in my life and others, and I always like to think that people can easily understand if I open that :can:, but no, not really, they can't, and I don't feel the least bit normal socially when people talk about how much family means to them, or the fond memories they have with family.

There's my DADS story, mafia thread.

I got both a lovely non-existent dad and a lovely stepdad, so I feel you. I take comfort in dads like Little Mac's though. Maybe someday I can be a decent dad, or maybe even a good one.

I have a pair of leather Chuck Taylor boots that I adore. Also a few canvas pairs floating around (I have those double-walled ones, which are pretty rad). Other than that it's hiking boots. Much like cpig, a shoe that doesn't hit at least mid-ankle feels like it's gonna slide off if I mode faster than a sedate walk.

Chuck Taylors are formal wear, and I won't hear a single word against this opinion.

When I was picking up a tux for a wedding, the Men's Wearhouse I was at had some shiny black leather Chuck Taylors on display as an alternative to glossy dress shoes. I kind of wanted them, badly.
