All I need to know about life I learned from Dungeons & Dragons

This is a sweet rebuttal to my mother, who thought that I was wasting my time with “that fantasy game Dragons and Dungeons crap.” She never understood why I wanted “an Intendo” and also disliked my love of “Married With Children” and Stephen King. She later came around on sitcoms when she happened across an episode of “Roseanne” that gave her a snarky comeback, which she promptly appropriated.

Anyway, I never actually played Dungeons & Dragons — I played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, which I guess makes me advanced at life. Also, I got pretty good at spinning dice. I once spun a four-sided die, no lie.

    You are damn impressive, my friend. Never was any good at spinning dice. And a four-sided!

      Total fluke — I only did it once, though I *almost* did it a few more times. It’s kind of freaky to see it balanced on its point like that, but it’s not very stable. Six-sided can be a challenge, but anything more than that should be fairly achievable for just about anyone.

      Wow, I haven’t thought about spinning dice for a dog’s age, and now I want to go over to my parents’ house, root through my old room, and fire up a video post :P
