I'm at the Diesel Cafe tonight, getting a cuppa joe when one of the guys there tells me a story.

Apparently, every Tuesday night, a polyamorous club meets up there. (I'd seen them before, not buying drinks and stuff but had no clue that they had clubs, the poly folk.) A schism has torn the group apart, though! They now sit at different tables! The reason for this is that there is a group of polyamorous-people-who-play-RPGs and then there's a group of polyamorous-people-who-do-not-play-RPGs and this is causing havoc. My personal theory is that this is really a very complex meta-game they are playing to get other people interested in their top secret polyamorous society. The big difference is that they're now sitting at separate tables.

I've also come up with an extremely nerdy way of telling your Hobbits in Lord Of The Rings apart. Sam and Frodo are easy enough, but remember - Pippin looks like Wedge. Think about it.
