Up to six, but i also read 14 & 15 because the Kindle gave them to me out of order. Got half a chapter in, realized they were ahead, but kept going because they're that good

Quick and easy Shepherd's Pie. 2 lbs beef, brown gravy mix, peas, instant mashed potatoes, and a pie crust. Brown the beef, add the gravy, make 4 servings of the spuds. Layer the crust, beef, peas, and top with the potatoes.

I sometimes add onion, garlic, and/or mushrooms to the meat mix. The instant potatoes, I can add cheese or bacon to depending on mood. :-)

"Less-lethal takedowns and their  pros and cons"

Chloroform, tazer, blow to the head, chokehold, etc.

So I found a website here at work that offers room discounts for friends and family. If there's anyone still looking for rooms, I got a bit of a hook-up.

Message me and I'll share the link. Won't be as good as my personal discount, but I ought to be able to work my purple power

So in the spirit of sharing quick, easy, delicious dishes I have to share tonight's meal.

Meatloaf consisting of 1lb ground beef, 1lb pork sausage, 3/4 cup of crushed-to-crumbs Ritz crackers, 3/4 cup water, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup ketchup, and garlic, onion, & paprika for flavor.  Threw all that in that order into my Kitchenaid mixer, then it went into the meatloaf pan on top of 2 pieces of Texas toast (it absorbs the grease while it cooks)

Lipton Onion Soup potatoes (recipe on the box) and microwaved corn with a little butter to go with it.  Prep time 15 minutes, cook time 1 hour.

Mitchum pulls the Thompson out of a trash can in NYC, but he definitely doesn't plant it her before getting picked up - he makes a point of saying he has it her with him when he goes to the restaurant.

Other than the occasional incorrect pronoun, I applaud your research and dedication.  Lucille's no mere Thompson, she's Mitchum's Lady.  He's quick to correct anyone who refers to her as "it."

Good? Bad? I am the guy with Lucille.

"No, definitely bad.  Lucille won't dance with no damn goody-two-shoes."

The live-posting of The Lord of The Peaks and Ross' Elder Godlike, I believe, games were pretty great!

Also, I can't wait to play Mad Quao with David again. I don't think I've ever seen somebody turn that red from laughter before.

See, you say stuff like this, and now Bill's gonna try to make a public Daneurysm happen.

Mad Quao's coming with me, and I'm even contemplating a paper tiara for Quao.
As to the public Daneurysm...

Wonder what the mean time from donning to arrest a shirt that said "Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?" would have?

"Oooh, my new shirt arrived!  Oh, hello officer... yeah, I know my rights.  I'll get in the back."

That sounds like a good idea. What's a weird denomination that would be fitting for an arbitrary measurement?

"There's at least half a McDuck's worth of gold in there!"
"I don't want to be rich, I just want to never have to think twice whether I want extra guac."

"That's not just worth a money unit, that's worth ALL the money units!"

Just a few off the top of my head.    Granted two of those were the same game

Man, I'm looking forward to seeing them in person!

Likewise!

So in preparation to Gencon 2015 (I know it's months away), should I do a 2015 update to the Money Unit? And if so, suggestions?

I was thinking of adding new quotes, new images for the back, stuff like that.

Only suggestions I have are that this one ought to be worth some fraction of a McDuck, and if there's a possibility of working The Lady Lucille in there somewhere...

3. A warning sign: DO NOT PUNCH THE DOGS

At this point, we almost need a bulleted list.

Do not punch:
-Dogs
-Monks
-Sharks
-Undead Samurai

I was considering ways around the housing problem and that one had occurred to me. I was also considering finding a large lot near the convention center and creating a gamer tent city.

Please tell me we would name it BorderBarter Town?

Dan, I don't think I can pull off the Tina look.  I mean, i've got the legs, but those shoulderpads would KILL after an hour or two...
On the other hand, gotta admit I would rock the fuck outta the heels
