I suspect this will make more sense when the news post is up, but that last panel acually made me laugh out loud.
 
Matlock: I'll just assume that you were planning to make a witty post, but in the process vital sections of your brain went numb and that was the result.

I was of course, insinuating that you have a small penis.

Having played with people varying from really casual to zealously fanatic, I've definitely seen some jokes like this. And I make sure to slap them for saying them in publically. "You would've known I was joking, but you failed your sense motive check, nyeh-eh." or "You can't find the remote because it rolled a high Hide check, nyeh-ehehehe."
 
The other day, I was the GM at a new MERP game. Players started rolling their stats, natural 100, 60-something, natural 100. I was, WTF, let me see those dice!

Even though that player had godly stats, it didn't help much against the three orc archers he tried to charged ;)

If you've never played a D20 game before, you really wouldn't get it. So don't feel bad.

Yeah, it probably means that you get laid at least twice as much as the people who do get "it".

My wife and I play D&D a couple times a month. With 3 other married couples. Stereotype much? :)
 
This is beautiful:

This year we had a couple different PR companies offer to help us spread the word about Child’s Play. They get us interviews on radio stations and in newspapers all over the country. Since Tycho is generally much better at that sort of thing it became his job to take all these interview requests. He’s been doing one or two of these a day practically for nearly a month and so I figured I should step up and take the next one. The next one as it turns out was with a Seattle radio station 100.7 the BUZZ on the BJ Shea show.

Apparently the place that set this up for us made the interview for noon but then forgot to call us until a few minutes after 12:00. So they called us and said someone needed to call the BJ Shea show right away which I happily did. A guy picked up the phone and I said, “Hi my name’s Mike and I’m with the Child’s Play charity. I understand someone there wanted to talk with us on the air about what we’re doing this year.” Then this is what the guy says to me. “NO! You wanted to talk to us! And your twelve minutes late!” I could see that things we’re not off to a good start. I apologized and told him that someone on my end dropped the ball. I said I understand if it’s too late to do the interview but I was just told to call and I didn’t realize it had been scheduled for noon. He told me that the host was super pissed off and he wanted to know why I was calling so late. I really didn’t know what to tell him besides what I’d already said. I explained again that someone on my end must have screwed up and I said I’d find out who it was and speak with them. It was apparently too late to do the interview so I hung up and figured that was the end of it.

Later in the afternoon Tycho got a call from a friend of his who happens to listen to the BJ Shea show. Apparently BJ talked for 45 minutes about video game playing bums who are too lazy to get off their asses and do what they’re supposed to do. He even made it the topic for the call in portion of his show.

So I just want to say to Mr. Shea that last night about two hundred video game playing bums got off their lazy asses and raised $17,000 for the Children’s Hospital, and they did it in the space of three hours. In other words, we really don’t need to take any shit from some guy who was too ugly to get on TV.

Since the stick is closed (due to user stupidity), I have a question about this. Is it okay to warn guys after they post something like that to edit it out before the mods come and get'em? I don't want to spark the banstick by trying to help out some clueless soul.
 
I heard that they were playing the BJ show from yesterday again this morning so I went down to my car to listen to it. They actually lied about how our phone conversation went. His producer claimed that he asked me what went wrong and I just babbled that I didn’t know what happened and refused to take responsibility. The truth is I told him that we dropped the ball and I apologized. I honestly don’t know what more I could have said. It was a mistake and I said I was sorry.

I listened to part of his show and BJ was certainly pissed off. He said that I was not honorable because I didn’t keep my word. He said that people like me are losers and unsuccessful. He said the way I behaved was representative of guys all over Seattle who eat granola, wear fleece and play too much X Box. What a fucking ego on this guy. I mean, he’s on in the middle of the Goddamn day on a station that my auto seek skips right over.

Okay, so I was just on the BJ show. We yelled at each other for a couple minutes and then he hung up on me. That was super fun.

I don't think so. I actually thought they were going to give people like a one-week grace period to read about the new rules, but I guess that didn't work out.
