Tastee (del.icio.us) links! (December 18th)
Links for December 18th from 10:07 to 10:07: The Escapist : Forums : The News Room : Quit Smoking With MC Frontalot's D&D Ruleset – MC Frontalot is rather awesome.

I wish I were sneezing instead

He was thinking it might be an allergy to something he ate, and mentioned changing his spinach brand recent. …And then I realized that I’ve been having the same problem recently, and have been shrugging it off. For the last couple of months, after some meals, my throat would be tight and I’d have trouble swallowing. I’d chalked it up to my “assmar” initially, but my chest wasn’t tight and inhalers didn’t affect the symptoms. I’d also thought it could just be some rampant sinus thing, so I…
