Yeah, Right, Whatever

Since I'm a bit of a science geek (and sci-fi, but nowhere near hard core), people often mistakenly assume that I'm also a gamer geek. I'm not a gamer geek, but it seems that I live with some, and that gives me a unique opportunity that I don't take advantage of nearly enough- I can observe gamer geeks in their natural habitat and mock them mercilessly.

My kids learned (quickly- after all, they are smart skulls full of mush) that my eyes would roll back in my head and I would begin twitching uncontrollably at the mere mention of hit points, XP, armor class, orcs or which weapons work best when fighting a half shadow gold dragon. They never could figure out why I really never could muster up the desire to join in their hours of magical mystical fun.

I've been told that I'd like it ... if I really tried. I'm not so sure... especially if I'd have to deal with these. If you're afraid to click the link, it's an article on the goofiest monsters D&D has been able to come up with.

Here. I'll give you a few examples. First, we have the MonkeyBee.

Next, we have the evil gelatinous cube.

And we can't forget the vile giant vampire frog.

I guess if the lime jello doesn't get you, the evil garden creatures just might.

It really is a funny article (for gamer geeks and normal people alike).
