Dang, I was hoping I’d level up into an Aquarian. Why I bet I’d get full BAB and 12 sided hit dice, too.

For you non drinkers that want to kill some brain cells there’s this shit. I read half of “The Mayan Factor” years ago. This guy owes me two days.

I had a photon belt, once, with a really cool white brass buckle with the face of Bacchus. Then I gained some weight, and I gave the belt to Goodwill. I kept the buckle, though. So, now, some Wal_Mart greeter is wearing my old photon belt. That’s the way it goes. One day, you’re wearing the fate of the world around your waist, the next phase it’s, "Welcome to Wal_Mart sir, would you like an apocalypse?"

You never know the impact you might have.
