  • I’m 50 and fairly set in my ways.

    My wife and I took in a trans person in need almost a year ago.

    I’d never known a trans person before, not personally. It took me maybe two weeks to get used to pronouns. Now it’s second nature.

    You’re nothing but a fucking bigot if you can’t try to change just a little bit to make others comfortable.

    To keep making this an issue just makes it even clearer. You aren’t interested in being inclusive. You refuse to try. Fuck off and retire, Carville.





  • John Hodgman wrote the book The Areas of My Expertise, which has a list of hobo names for some bizarre reason.

    Kingdom of Loathing, in making a multi-player clan hobo dungeon, used that list of names as a random hobo name generator, and then named the boss of the whole place Hodgman, the Hoboverlord.

    I went to a standup show where Hodgman was supposed to do a set and he had cancelled, replaced with Brian Posehn. Brian was also awesome but I really wanted to tell John Hodgman how he inadvertently saved my life.

    Now the details of how you get that specific item are even weirder but I’m done phone typing.


  • I once helped someone get a Hodgman’s Imaginary Hamster and in return he gifted me a few IRL pot plants (Super Lemon Haze, a damn good strain) that I used to pull myself and my Dad out of a pit.

    Game inadvertently saved our lives, and I still haven’t gotten to thank John Hodgman.

    (Yes, the game is that insane and silly. Getting that damn hamster requires at least 10 people working together.)
