Are you referring to the postal service, or Canadians in general?

We are a chaotic evil lot...

Hey deimos, just because you guys drink a ton of beer and say "eh" a lot does not make you chaotic evil (kind of like a bunch of dwarves if you ask me) :P . Maybe with the hockey season being cancelled, I would say you all are probably "neutral with evil tendancies" :twisted: right now, but as soon as the lockout ends I give you guys at worst a Lawful Neutral :wink:

Shit...IMO ALL people in entertainment are WAY overpaid...look at Jackson (er...from LOTR fame...not from kiddie porn fame). He is suing NewLine for more cash!!!

Of course, I also believe that the owners/management are making WAY WAY WAY too much cash...then again, if the upper class and the free market are removed..we are left with communism/socialism...

May Eru's light shine upon you always.

You guys are not going to believe this one.

Ships ONLY to the UK!!

Sorry was going through all kinds of emotions when I read that notice on the listings. Read below to see why....

Take a close look at some of the loose items in the red folder

"A folder full of home made adventures, maps and manuscripts"

and check out the lower right picture showing a yellowish colored item in particular!!

(loose photocopied pages in a ziplock bag) he says.... :lol:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... Track=true

There are several other rare and tasty morsels as well.

Lot also includes a nice looking White Dwarf 2, a White Dwarf 6, a Coverless Jade Hare, and a Tegel Manor!! :cry:

If it is those sheets in the eighth photo, looks like someone has re-typed it. *jk*.

Didn't think anyone was bidding on the basis of it even being genuine, yet... ^^

Check out his answered questions now; apparantly he's willing to ship to the US. I bet if you are high bidder you can convince him to ship across the ocean.

I was bored/busy and a little drunk last night; I also was working on a paper for english class thats one huge mess.

Trying to make a little room in my basement, wanted to take advantage of the free BIN lol

I might edit the stuff later, add some detail but most that stuff is low quality, the Deities & Demigods in that one lot is trashed, well the cover is but hey still then 144 page good for ref.
