I was literally laughing out loud at work. Most colleagues didn't get why, but there's something side-splittingly hilarious about "no matter how high I roll, a squirrel can't conceal a rider and horse at full tilt".

I had to look up the references to some things. Call me strange, but I didn't know the weird word for "exotic dancer". Somehow, it never seems to be part of everyday conversation. (I almost said "it never comes up",  but wanted to avoid the double-meanings and sophmoric jokes) 
Some jokes are hillarious.
Some refer to games I'm not familiar with. 
Thank you. 
You brought smiles to a depressed day.

I'm just trying to envision a group of Joe Pesci like R2 units.

Finally finished reading the list.
Someone has had a long career with RPGs...
I'd say much longer than mine.

I have been barred from characters who speak in odd gramatical fashions.
This after one character always had "To be" at the beginning of every sentence with a present participle at the end. The character of split infinitives.
"To be the guards pocket picking." "To be at the Stormtroopers my blaster firing." "To be from the enemy away running." 
I thought it was cute. The other players hated it. One of them was outright cranky.
Hey, it was better than Yoda-speak or ewok.

I am not allowed to quote from Blake's 7, Galaxy Quest, SpaceBalls (not that I'd want to), Indianna Jones, Unnamable, Warlock, Red Dwarf or Kleines Arschloch.

That was probably the best thing I've read all week! I laughed till I got tears in my eyes.

Even if there is no alignment in Traveller, giving feuding TL1 tribes TL12 weapons and putting the results on PPV is just wrong.
I would think AT-ST Soccer would be a good training excercise for the pilots (just have to remember to disarm the weapons consoles first)
Making an educational video during a black ops could also be good for training future Black Ops

No one is allowed to buzz low-tech worlds and make crop circles using tractor beams or "buzz" the natives (see HHGttG for definition of "buzz").
Not on their official list, but one I've had to create in my games.
I'd like to see the list organized a bit... maybe by theme or by game.
