OK, I'm probably the only one who didn't know this, but I just figured out who the portrait is that FormCritic uses.

Robert E. Howard... :oops:

You would be only the fourth person to recognize REH's picture and mention it.

I used to have a quote from REH. I liked the Lake of Tears line (from Forever Autumn) so much that I decided to use it.

I was put onto Lake of Tears by Winterwords, here on the Acaeum. I now have several of their CD's: Forever Autumn, Black Brick Road and Crimson Cosmos.

They are simple and charming...with their Finnish accents and all. Over-produced and melodramatic...much like any product D&D players might make or like.

I have never met another person who even knows who they are.

Isn't RE Howard the Scientology fella? (j/k!)

My second favorite thing about the world wide web is the music one can find. (The first being the Acaeum, of course :wink:

) Even if I don't understand the language, the music and emotion comes through. Or not, depending on the source.

That would be L. Ron Hubbard. Howard is most famous for Conan.

Conan - didn't he write Sherlock Holmes?

Holmes? He edited Basic D&D, right?
So D&D is related to Scientology!

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Is that what that was. My old eyes can't see a font that small. I thought it was a messed up smiley.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one, I copied it and then increased the font size until I could read it...

A Wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Holmes Basic? - you could even say 'Elementary'!

(I'm probably going to stop now!)

Though it is 'clear' that D&D is probably not related to Scienology!

Wasn't there a guy called L. Ron in Lord of the Rings? Scientology is really into FRP, eh?

Argh! I bow to your superior punning abilities :roll:

D&D and scientology would be a tenuous connection at best.

(D&D has Vin Diesel and Scientology has Tom Cruise - talk about a rock and a hard place?)
