I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We watched Shawshank Redemption last night, so I really get where you're coming from.

I can't stop laughing at this. Trag, I know what you're getting at here but fuck if this isn't one of the most unintentionally funny posts I've ever read.

It was intentionally funny. Mission accomplished!

Spoiler: show

But we did actually watch Shawshank last night, 'coz Mrs. Trag had never seen it.

Oh!

Sorry. Outstanding post, then, sir.

I'm slowly coming to a place on RM where I can let the earnestness go for wee stretches at a time.

I love it, man.

But, if it's all the same to you, when I retell the story of this post, I'll tell them about how earnest you are and I'll tell them that your post was dead serious. If that's okay with you.

I've made my own bed then, haven't I?

This is one of my favorites. I really hope we get to hear more bonus episodes with Travis as DM.
