New career path

[Marlin]

I want to be a Barbarian. Yeah, I know the foot and knees might cut down a little on the looting and such. I do believe it is My true calling though.

[HunterCO]

Be sure to get one of those spiked collars for the yellow dog of death. [LOL]

[roman gnome]

So, would that be like a union gig? 401k? Dental plan?

Yellow Dog of Death! [Coffee]

Dozztila the Hun!

[Marlin]

Spiked collar, Hmmmm, doable.

Not sure about union, I'm sure in a way, there is a 401k, If done properly anyway. Dental I'll have to look into. Did look like there were a whole lot of other bennies that just might make it worthwhile.

[WillysWagon]

Make sure to bring the 'Barbarian Hoard' to one of the shoots. Whats the dress code? Would Viking helmets be ok or over the top? [Beer]

[vim]

What kinda barbarian?

The traditional "loping through the steppes" type a la Conan the Barbarian, or just a guy a little rough around the edges who likes big 40+ ounce steaks? [Wiggle]

If the first, medical is often overlooked. Sword wounds will commonly fester if not treated properly, and you'll want to be diligent about keeping your teeth clean even during busy campaigns against villages: gingivitis is no joke!

[Marlin]

I think a Vandel, Sacking Rome just appeals to Me somehow, Besides I never did get a chance to go to Italy. Festering, After the foot thing I laugh at Festering things[LOL] OK, Maybe not. But that's what magic potions and herbs are for. Of course, They may not charge as much as the Hospital. I think they gave Me the same stuff anyway.

I see a little independent band of minons, You know, Defensive in posture, Just in case Rome counter attacks, Threatening, I don't know, The English channel or something. While the main force kept the Romans occupied, We could run in, grab loot and some wenches and get back to our defensive postion before anybody knew.

[roman gnome]

Hey, I'm in!

If somebody can come up with a cart for say, eight wench seating I'll bring a wagon for the stuff that is pillaged and plundered.

[Roger]

Please watch all the appropriate arnold schwarzenager movies and report back.

[Marlin]

Yes I have done an in depth study of those documentries. However, I do believe, that instead of Sacking Rome, instead I shall be Sacking Tahiti. I'm just saying.

[Ripper]

Would we get weekends off? [Viking]

[Marlin]

Depends on how the sacking goes, I'm sure We can work out a decent schedule, Gotta enjoy the sackage sometime.

[7idl]

is this strictly a 'barbarian' thing, or can we participate as [Pirat1]pirates[Pirate]???

[Marlin]

Sure, EOE.

[roman gnome]

Barbarians, pirates, marauding horde...

as long as the battle axe is standard issue, it's all good!

Oooo, maybe some mace balls!

[vim]

Okay, you have my interest with this latest development.

I'm a little too scrawny to have success as a barbarian, but a pirate? Could be.

You other married guys have any advice how to deal with the "pirate wenches" issue with your wife? I'm not sure about this one . . .

Uh, no.. you're just flat out hosed unless the Wench in question gives permission..

I'm down for the Barbaric Pirate cross over.

[chrisguy]

Hmm, I have a kilt already... various blades... splitting maul/sledge (bright yellow handle but it works just fine)... and the required flask or three. I'm in!!

[Viking]

[vim]

I dunno about this, then.

If there's no wenches, and I get bad hangovers from drinking -- and I don't like rum anyway -- I mean, what's the point?

The captain's gonna keep most of the gold, and if I help carry the treasure to its hiding spot I'll likely take a bullet to my skull as a thank-you.

And I get seasick.

I need to think about this some more.

[vim]

Okay, back to the barbarian thing.

Would steroids bulk me up enough to be a barbarian? And they won't mess with my liver, right? -- because I don't want to mess up my liver.

And I can't do the long-hair thing. I could do it on the sides, but not in the middle, not anymore.

And the gingivitis worries me.

[HunterCO]

I am single so all your wenches are mine. [LOL]

OK you're seriously over thinking this.. you might be too intellectual for the Hoard

[vim]

Dang it! I hate when that happens.

Okay, I'm thinking that-- NO! I'm FEELING that I can "hang with you dogs" and be rough.

I can be really boorish and ill-mannered. Watch:

"You LOUT! You . . . DIRTY LOUT!"

See, I can be really brutal.

What do you think? Am I in?
