    I need to reread this series. It's a balm for difficult times.

    Absolutely true! I've read them all, but now I'm listening to the audiobooks, getting them from the library in as close to correct order as I can. The narrator is fantastic.

    The second funniest line in English literature.

    Nope. The funniest line is "He who would pun would pick a pocket." I quote it all the time, then have to explain where it came from. (The lesser of two weevils!)

    No love for "Jack, you have debauched my sloth"?

    Note I said the second funniest line. The two quotes above are both in the top 3 as well.

    Humza wins, Torah Cottrill. It's the debauched sloth. But lesser of two weevils is right there. Also the "dog watches are cur-tailed" or at least Jack telling that joke and trying not to mess it up.

    the pun quote is the most useful in actual conversation, as you noted.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
