History Tropers / Exaggeration17A

* DungeonsAndDragons [[hottip:Details you probably don't care about...:I run 3.5 edition games with a few house rules inspired by 4th edition, such as combining the "spot" and "listen" skills to form "perception". The game world I use assumes that the Greyhawk and Points of Light campaign settings are actually the same place, and since my games are kind of between versions, I usually have a storyline focused on the transition that would have taken place between the two settings. This usually includes the Dragonborn/Tiefling war as a central element.]]

[=Exaggeration17A=] is a male troper in his late 20's who [[strike:currently lives in Vermont]] will soon be living in Maryland! His username is derived in part from being nicknamed after title 17-A of Maine state law. Sounds strange, but truth is sometimes FreakierThanFiction.\\
He's also married and has a son, so he now knows more than he ever cared to about the Disney Channel's morning block of kids' shows. He insists that he should get his son hooked on something more interesting, like {{Firefly}}, but his wife thinks a show where a man gets kicked into a spaceship's running engine is not "age appropriate".\\
He may or may not work for TheGovernment. If he did, it's quite possible that he wouldn't be at liberty to confirm or deny that fact. It's also possible that he doesn't, and is just messing with everyone by propogating this rumor. What an asshole!

* CatchPhrase: I took several college classes in which the professor had the students introduce themselves, one at a time. It was boring, so I decided to spice things up by saying, "hi, I'm Patrick, but my friends call me creepy." [[{{Unfunny}} Every. Single. Time.]]

** I'm suspicious as to whether or not there's anything ''besides'' coffee in this flask. And, I'm totally going to drink it anyway.

* I hereby vandalise this page in the name of [[MustHaveCaffeine the holy alkaloid!]]. Coffee? *holds out flask* - @/{{Bisected8}}

!!This Troper provides examples of:
[[index]]
* {{Gratuitous Spanish}} - When I was cramming for Spanish exams in college, I would speak it in my sleep (and confuse the hell out of my girlfriend when doing so woke her up).
* {{Knight in Sour Armor}} - I chose a career in public service because my private sector jobs were all greed-driven.
* {{LARP}} - Not lame when done correctly. Replacing duct tape with latex foam weapons is a step in the right direction.
* {{Phone in Detective}} - Law enforcement support counts, dammit!
* {{Pungeon Master}} - I'm coronating myself. You got a problem with that? Because I'm not afraid to unleash something worse than the Hokey Pokey story....

* {{Bilingual Bonus}} - ''Yo pasé diez años estudiando español, y vivo en el noreste de los Estados Unidos, lejos del mundo hispanohablante. Desgraciadamente, no uso mucho la lengua por esa razón... pero significa que mi experiencia puede ser muy útil, porque soy un de pocos personas en este parte del país que pueden hablarla.''
* {{Gratuitous Spanish}} - See above. Also, when I was cramming for Spanish exams in college, I would speak it in my sleep (and confuse the hell out of my girlfriend).
* {{Intelligence Equals Isolation}} - This trope was high school in a nutshell for me.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=70vpeqxlmywxc26l6btu4ag0&page=1 Fable II]] - Main quest storyline completed on 8/21/10! There might be some sporadic updates regarding sidequests in the future... haven't decided yet.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=70vpeqxlmywxc26l6btu4ag0&page=1 Fable II]] - Going strong as of 08/19/10!

Any fellow tropers who wish to leave friendly and/or snarky comments may feel free to do so in this space. Or, if you prefer not to feel free, that's fine. The state of New Hampshire may have issued an authoritarian ultimatum on that point, but I'm certainly not going to.
