I only get lost in google when I am looking for something that is
fairly obscure in the first place.  (Or when all of the transcripts
of HHGTTG get swamped out by hundreds of pages mouring the death
of Douglas Adams :(  ).  *And* (now where did I put that special-
ability card? Ah, here it is): "Special ability: Guilelessness.  You
can tell by looking at this person just once that she is incapable
of lying."

If you don't know what a special-ability card is, you haven't LARPed
enough.  If you you've never LARPed, you really really should try
it sometime.

I have to agree with that one.  If I had the time to read all of the
posts including ones that aren't responding to the questions I ask,
I'd never post.  Oh wait...
