Taco! Who's this Short, Old Guy you call Shepherd? I'm the only Shepherd around here, got it! Now I have to go find my sheep.

Okay, as for the list, here's the one that happend to me tonight at work.

*When you're driving around on the job thinking about building a spear, thinking about a park for fool's raid, texting your adunakhor and peeping at the forum on your cell phone....and then realize you forgot a pick up and have to go back and end up a half an hour late back at the lab and nearly missing lunch! You're Dagged then!

*Also when you talk to your supervisors at work and mention that a foam weapon to the head will make them listen.

and

*When your supervisor says he wants to come out and watch you fight, so you mention fool's raid and having to find a nice place to fight, and he says "go out in the desert and call it a Crusade."

Now that's Dag.

Konradr, the gnarly old short shepherd.
