For most of my life, I had no idea where the name "Surbrook" came from. Recently, I found a website that tells me: zur Brügg means "at the bridge" in Swiss German. This became the surname Zurbrügg.

@kurtbusiek.bsky.social -- I wandered into my local thrift store and saw this. Priced at $60, but the color code for the day ment it was 1/2 off, so... yeah, I paid all of $30 for 1024 pages of Conan goodness.

I've paid off three credit cards with annual fees and the worst interest rates. Three more credit accounts to go to pay off so the debt I got paying medical expenses out of pocket last year when I was just out of the hospital and had no insurance.

As it will soon be Spring Training: "I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep,” [Sparky] Anderson said afterwards. “If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.” Apparently the way to pitch to Hank Aaron was to make sure no one else was on base.

"Such a day; rum all out. Our company somewhat sober; a damned confusion amongst us! Rogues a plotting. Talk of separation. So I looked sharp for a prize [and] took one with a great deal of liquor aboard. So kept the company hot, damned hot, then all things went well again."

Phenomenal game session tonight. PCs were split into multiple groups, I swapped between them frequently, and made decisions based on "what monkey wrench can I throw in now?" I was told that it was the best session so far.

This has just been rereleased, and I highly recommend it. It's accurate to say that without this book, there might not have been any ASTRO CITY. That's true of other books, too, but it's very much true of this one.

Psst. This is a lightning bolt. On fucking Jupiter.
A view from above of a large cyclonic storm that is mainly a grey colour, set against a swirling backdrop of more bluish smaller storms. At the 12 o'clock position in the large storm is a small point of green light, which is a lightning bolt. This scene is on Jupiter.

Fictional characters aren’t interesting in and of themselves. What makes them interesting is what’s on the page. Or stage, or screen, or whatever. If you want an audience to find the characters you’re portraying interesting, you have to put what’s interesting about them into your portrayal.
