confirming blahs

i love listening to the hearings at work, even though sometimes i have to stifle a 'you f*%@ing b@st&rd!!' here and there.

and we zoom in on the hearings now…

mr. ali-to, you are a great man. you have answered lots and lots of questions! your percentage is great. that aside, lemme ask you lots of quick questions to continue to boost your stats!! ::checks random encounter reference table::

ok, mr. ali-to. you pause after your last response and hear me say "mr. ali-to, are you retarded?".

ali-to tries to answer 'no'.

ok, roll this and i'll account for your charisma bonus..erm, penalty.

::ali-to rolls d20, comes up with a 5; a passing cloud of consternation darkens his demeanor as he realizes this is a crap roll::

hmmm, ok. well, obviously, umm. well, you just answered that yes in fact you are retarded. but it's ok, because you still were able to answer the question even at all!! mark that on our chart, johnson!

::some time passes, and a 'crat gets to ask some questions::

ok. mr ali-to. i am not happy. i want to know how you feel about ]bleep![. do you think that roe is important, that it should be overturned, that you are a good judge, that the sky is in fact cloudy? well, do you??

::ali-to checks to see if he should roll to try and answer; the dm, erm, chairman seems to be whistling and staring off into the distance::

what's that? you think you are a solid judge and that yes it appears to be cloudy outside but you can only speak for yourself? you have not answered my…

yes he did! he answered your question!! that counts!! ::publican marks another one on the chart::

we leave our heroes and return to the real world…
