Funny stuff (I saw it before), although these guys are not French but rather French-speaking Canadians...

I've seen that before too. I like how the two regulars are all smug and full of themselves. Too true, too true.

Eeeww...I'll never look at thieves the same thanks. I guess the old saying is true....never trust a thief, he'll screw you in the end.

A thief? Or a pirate lusting after booty?

Every Paladin I've played doesn't see the humor...... Every thief is laughing his ...... of!

To funny. Let that be a lesson, never turn down free beer, it will bite you in the end!

Ya.. you better... or else.. or else... mheh... too far lol

Hey were not like that .. well.. not all of us... Some of my players are like the thief and some like the other geeks... but in general we're kinda like in the middle.. We do drink beer.. we do take it seriously (not too seriously) and I do use the quote "This is D&D man.. anything is possible".

I prefer my good old Quebec vs Ontario hostilities to be more in the spirit of an Habs vs Leafs game.

My favorite line of the vid is when the guy playing a thief says "j'utilise mes yeux de voleur" when he wants to loot the bodies for magic items. The translation isn't funny but it sounds so ridiculously cheesy in French that I can't help but think of it when one of my players now mentions that he wants to loot bodies...

It was so close to happening in 93... I was at the game when the Habs won the cup that year. 8) Don't worry, I won't even start teasing with the Leafs' 40 years drought (curse).
