Woo! NJ Rules! I'm proud!

Thank you thegreyeminence for enlightening my ignorant ass.

Today the New Jersey state legislature created same-sex civil unions with the same privileges as hetero marriages (Assembly bill #3787). Summed up in two sentences:

“Civil union” means the legally recognized union of two eligible individuals of the same sex established pursuant to this act. Parties to a civil union shall receive the same benefits and protections and be subject to the same responsibilities as spouses in a marriage.

For an encore, they went on to fund stem cell research centers in New Brunswick, Camden, and Newark.

I love my blue state.

Also, fuck all you haters.

I'm totally envisioning Scooter, Bunsen, Beaker, Robin, Rolf, and Fozzie trying to play D&D--and being broken up by Sam the Eagle.

Scooter is trying to DM, and failing miserably, Robin is playing a bard and getting a hard time from everyone because he has no useful combat abilities, Bunsen is playing a sorceror with some ridiculous combination of kits and feats that results in a character that shouldn't be in any way possible, Fozzie is playing a thief and making horrible "backstab" jokes, Rolf got roped into this because they needed a sixth and has no idea what's going on, and no one knows what the hell Beaker is doing.

"and no one knows what the hell Beaker is doing."--But whatever it is, somehow it's simultaneously felling orcs and doing bashing damage to him (have I got my games crossed?)

If you have, it's okay, I'm pretty sure I threw random stuff from several different editions of D&D in there.

Three guesses what Sam would have to say about a muppet D&D game.

I miss hearing you say it!
