I write a blog called theseoldgames.com. My favorite games are Dungeons and Dragons, Star Frontiers, and an old programmed adventure called Star Smuggler.
Sometimes, I post about a giant rabbit named Fiver. He is 32+ inches tall and close to 28 lbs.

Alright, I haven't posted an image of Fiver in a while. Have you seen a rabbit fail a hide check?
He looks a bit feral since he ate his brush. #GiantRabbit

Frickin' lasers, tonight. I worked on two different woodcut projects: a Commander Deck Box and Dungeon Tiles. I really enjoyed both.

Dear Channel 2, your priorities are jacked. The Kazoo factory should not be the first closure on your list.

Coining new phrase: "Buffalo Schadenfreude". This is when the Bills get screwed by a call then something bad happens to the opposing team's player. You know Bo Nix had nothing to do with the call, he had nothing to do with the way the Bills played... But you still smirk at what happened. #nfl

Tori has been whining and barking since the start of the game. I think she is concerned about the ratio of people to touchdown cheese.

Patient - What's the cure?
Doctor - It's an 80s rock band fronted by Robert Smith, but let's try to stay focused.

Well, I was mad the Sabres lost... Until I released they just pulled off 10 wins in a row and now have a playoff chance. It'll take some more hard work to get there, it is possible. They didn't have that chance 11 games ago.

I think I know why I like Stranger Things so much. They introduced so many characters with the boys families, it always stays fresh as the younger kids age up. Erica is my favorite anti-villain.

My daughter has my sense of humor.... And my wife does not.
My wife complained that our daughter isn't a little princess anymore.
I complained, "Damn. I was going to marry her off for a stronger alliance with Poland."
My wife didn't get it but Catherine and I laughed and laughed.
