D&D week 2

October 8th, 2008 32 comments

Last night in D&D:

  • Our party discovered we’d been systematically pickpocketed by our hired help.
  • We rescued some Dwarven miners and then accidentally set them on fire.
  • I inadvertently tied myself to an oiled miner. A party member stabbed me trying to cut the rope.
  • It took us three hours to open a door behind which another party member languished.
  • My Dwarf’s beard was shot off by a fellow party member.

So all in all, a good night for us.

Man, do we suck.

1942 French’s mustard

1942 French's mustard ad

From Sept 1942 Better Homes and Gardens. “A hit with the menfolks.” Features mascot Hot Dan the Mustard Man, who seems to have been the French’s mascot in the 30s and 40s. Sounds like an exclamation you say when something good happens. “You’ve got tickets to the sock hop? Well, Hot Dan the Mustard Man! We’re going to have a swell time!”

If the opportunity arises, I’m working this into conversation at tonight’s Books-A-Million knit night.
