Dungeons & Dragons Gamemaster. I kick it old school - to the max. I get medieval, man.

[King Vino]

Dungeons & Dragons Gamemaster

I believe the term is Dungeon Master when playing AD&D Yeh, Now that would be cool to be a paid professional GM. Personally anyone who could deal with FASA's targeting numbers would need to have a friggen' degree in mathematics (Damn Shadowrun) :p My old room mate, Squid, was a die hard gamers, now he just sits in him mom's house painting War Hammer minitures and collecting porn at anime cons.

[isoscelesjones]

Oh well, I tried. At least I spelled "dungeons" and "medieval" right. :o

Erika, what is that a cockpit of?

[Davey-boi]

An airplane King! Geeeeeeze :frog: !!!

[King Vino]

An airplane King! Geeeeeeze :frog: !!!

Don't be a smart ass. :naught:

[XPS1210]

It's not a "cockpit"

It's a "flight deck" lets be politically correct! LOL!

[Aviatrixie]

Now boys... let's play nice! LOL

KV... that's my fav jet to fly of all... a MaDonald Douglas DC-9. It's fast, has a super quiet cockpit and hand flies like a fighter... which make sense since MD makes fighters for the military while Boeing makes bombers and tankers. I fly a Boeing now and it drives like a truck compared to the 9. That being said, the 9 was a harder jet to get consistently smooth landings out of. If I try I can consistantly grease the B-737 on but the 9... it kept me humble.

I used to fly the Airbus A-330 when I was doing intenational. It was huge and was fly by wire with a glass cockpit. Felt more like a computer game than a jet. But then, I'm old school. LOL

[XPS1210]

btw... I was joking... that's the "new politically correct" Air force talkin...

[Aviatrixie]

LOL Yes... we're supposed to refer to it as the flight deck too... and do in formal discussion. But after 30 years I still call it a cockpit in informal conversation.

Which reminds me of an old joke... but we won't go there. ;)

btw... I was joking... that's the "new politically correct" Air force talkin...

[PiaggioGal]

What a varied group on here, cool!

I am a new business owner, I own a tea lounge in NorCal.

[XPS1210]

my wife wants to start a coffee shop... just haven't yet as we move soon...

[PiaggioGal]

She should definitly start one up...a ton of work goes into it, but its really rewarding in the end when you see customers enjoying themselves in YOUR shop. :)
If you have any questions, feel free to IM me.

[XPS1210]

It won't be till way after august... and then it depends on where we get moved too... so... who knows!

[florida derbi rocket]

Rachel...when you are doing well...expand into a scooter/Tea shop!! ...."Ah yes..I'll take a Green tea and that Speed clutch thank you.". :p John

Then I realized that I could not get out of tight situations and that they only went 27 on a good day. I then bought my lovely 2001 ZUMA! I love that thing and probably will never sell it.

Hey, that's how I got MY scooter!

A friend had to move and asked me to sell his 2006 Kymco People for me. (I was driving a 650cc motorcycle.)

Well, I took the scooter out a couple of times to keep her running good while I had her listed for sale and ended up selling the motorcycle and buying the scooter!

And I'm SO glad I did! It's a blast! (My summer goal is to drive her up to the top of Pike's Peak here in Colorado Springs and, yes, I'll take lots of photos at the top!)
