…cross country, full speed ahead
Yeah, I had a dream that Spike Y Jones and I were one of several teams involved in a cross country race from San Francisco to GenCon Indy. I don’t know who won, but just before I woke up Spike and I were 2 hours ahead and just leaving St. Louis.
I’m gonna post today’s character, then go tend to gardening chores before joining My Sweet Little Spinning Dolphin Of Love on a quest to buy stuff for the Hawaii trip.
About this character: Ya know that cranky old neighbor man who always yells at kids who walk past his house? Well, here is Oak Hill’s version of him.
The Doclopedia #32: Grug the Goblin
STR: 7
CON: 8
DEX: 7
INT: 10
WIS: 12
CHA: 6
Grug, or “Ol’ Man Grug” as the neighborhood kids like to call him, lives in a modest little house on 120 Ochre Jelly Street. He lives with his wife, Mokli (a very pleasant goblin lady, by all accounts) and their pet blink dog, Blinky.
Grug spends most of his time tending his garden, mowing his lawn and yelling at any neighbor kids who get withing 20 feet of his property. Sometimes you can find him in the back yard fixing things or picking zapples from his zapple tree, but mostly, he’s out front on Kid Lookout.
In his spare time (which is generally after dark when the kids are in their homes) Grug enjoys playing checkers, drinking hard zapple cider, talking about “the good old days” and generally being a cantankerous old fart.

Have you been watching Cannonball Run again?
I saw most of it when it first came out. (Missed part of it due to making out with the young lady I was dating) Haven’t seen it since.
Too bad, I wanna be Captain Chaos!
Seriously funny. As in the milk turned ‘funny’.

P.S. By any chance is “Ol’ Man Grug” modeled on you?
Perhaps a bit in the general cantankerous old fartishness, but otherwise, no. I like kids, have no lawn to mow, hate hard cider and seldom refer to the “good old days”.
