True, but when I take the hearing aids out, I don't hear anything, anyway...win, win...just don't tell the wife...that's my secret to peace-of-mind. I just smile and say "Yes, dear"!

Why does your attic have a dungeon (see door to the left).It's what else is up in the attic that's a bit more worrisome

I think that’s where the dragon lives.
Hey, be nice to Morrighan!
Ain't doin' nuthin' musically. Daughter and I went to a preseason hockey game tonight. We have tickets to a baseball game Saturday night. Band has a gig(originally booked for 9/14). I had told the rest of the group I was not available for 9/21. Venue changed us about 3 weeks ago. We've had tickets for 3 months. I'll be at the game(Red Sox @ Devil Rays). Group will either do it as a trio or have an old co-worker fill my spot. Don't really care which.Hey, be nice to Morrighan!

Doesn’t every game player have a dragon familiar?
In the past, castle owners kept their dragons in a moat. Today an an economic moat serves the same purpose. Money managers are the dragons, they ward off interlopers and protect the value of the paper.

Some basses have a lot in common with baseball bats.
John Fogerty can make a bat sound good.

What I had in mind when I searched is a Charles Aadams cartoon, from which the set is re-rendered in the illustration. IIRC by the time the Aadams Family made the teevee (followed closely by The Munsters), I was already versed in Chas Aadams from book collections.

My avatar on her Time Lost Protodrake over Stormwind. I stepped down as guild master a couple years ago and hold the title emeritus now. The robe is a raid piece, well everything my avatar wears, are raid pieces. When raids were serious affairs .... oh couldn't even begin to tell you what we did but it is epic.

The Time Lost Protodrake is an exceedingly rare mount. So basically a raid is like a virtual gig where a lot of people need to be relied upon to do their job. The difference is if in the raid we fail, we all die. The good news is we get back on the horse that threw us and do it again. And again. Until we get it right. Everyone has a job to do in a raid ... a bit like a band except there's latency. The players are certainly not playing at the same latency you believe you are. Where we are in time to each other is all very relative ....
On a proper GOF note, Friday evening I needed to adjust a knob I couldn't see. Reached for a flashlight, set the knob and thought it's a good idea to keep a flashlight in the gig bag. And a few fired neurons later realize there's a flashlight app in your sm*rtphone that you always have anyway. (And a tuner app.) I suppose there are bass player apps.
I have this: No apps.(even my phone's an OF, Grumpy? yeah, sometimes)

I've never gotten into gaming, so I am completely lost within these discussions about them. Being killed and then put back onto your horse alive is an interesting concept, however. 
Flashlights (real ones) don't need to have their apps updated constantly; just the battery, and sometimes, bulb, replaced, occasionally.
