I wrote the review yesterday, but don't have the file on my work computer. I need to look it over again because it may have organizational issues. I intend to get it to you by tonight, probably right about  AS time.

Iscariot.  Perhaps I didn't enunciate clearly earlier.

He was the apostle who betrayed Christ.  The exclamation 'Judas Iscariot!' is basically the watered down version of taking the Lord's name in vain.  It's like saying "crap" instead of "s***".

Really, it's not an exclamation I should be making, but there you go.

really. How did you get through a year  of college and 13 years of public education in the US without knowing who Judas is? Man, I fear for our educational system.

anyway, it's an ironic exclamation too. because calling it out is hardly blaspheming anything holy.

My response was SUPPOSED to be funny. in that I emphasized "Judas" specifically. As if there were another, more holy person with the surnamed "Iscariot" that we should all be familiar with.

Next time I make a joke, I'll be sure to over explain that one too.

I just didn't recognize the last name. Because they always taught it as Judas Iscariot.  :P

I always read his name as 'Judas IsChariot'.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Thanks to all of you we're going to have a lot of good articles for monday,Jeffe and mustard are still working on projects and I know they are going to be very cool.

Now is the time to start think up June's theme.  I'm thinking it should be a fantasy theme of some type or a deparmnt theme.  Deparment themes are something I was thinking of doing that could be very cool.  They would rely on mostly non-review articles (probaly only one review).  So for example if we do an RPG theme day we would have one product reveiw and lots of artilces on RPG, like how to put the Epic into your campaign, how to start of adventures, what setting/system is right for you, etc....  But feel free to suggest what ever you want.

So lets get to decideing since we only have a month!

I'd say rather than do a department day, which is a little broad, do a theme within it - such as Fantasy RPGs, or Universal genre RPGs or something. Just doign a department, while cool, seems a bit run of the mill and not really exciting.
Go go super JP newbie slapdown force! - Entropy

The point of them is to get non review articles, but I see your point.  Maybe haveing them be things like "How to run campaings"  or "how to create your own setting".
