Ienjoypaste, better known as Seth Williams (or, occasionally, The Goddamn Duck) is a student in Pensacola, Florida. He likes webcomics of all sorts, writing, and cooking.
His only published works so far have been in KnightsOfTheDinnerTable magazine and Dragon, the former a game review, the latter a collection of rules for card games within DungeonsAndDragons - yes, he created the rules for the official D&D variant of poker.
He tends to avoid TakeThat posting, preferring to find tropes not yet on the page, or to elaborate on the ones that are... but SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped, hence why the D&D page now has an entry for ScrewedByTheNetwork. To be fair, though, there was already D&D content on the SBTN page... it was just a one-way linkage, if that makes any sense.
Tropes that Ienjoypaste is an example of include:
* {{Badass}}: [[BlatantLies Possibly the Most Triumphant Example. Really.]]
* DisabilitySuperpower: Having 16 kidney stones has made him ''immune to pain''. Okay, not really, but resistant. And he can tell exactly which painkiller you've injected him with within 30 seconds.
* ExpansionPackPast: Student, amusement park rep, massage therapist, freelance game designer, antique store owner, chicken salesman, radio board op/production assistant, [[FinalDestination moving scenery]], and oil spill cleanup thus far. Oh, and he's working on a novel. Or so he says.
* LargeHam: Frequently.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: Hence why he edits his own Troper page. That and the fact that he's just that bored.
* ThrowItIn: "IEnjoyPaste" was a typed outburst after 22 other e-mail addresses were taken. After the weird address wasn't taken, he decided to just go with it - and has kept it since, mostly due to laziness.

Speaking at a Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors event last night, Hillary Clinton decided to talk about Alexis de Tocqueville. The problem? She got it wrong -- by about a hundred years.
"There's a wonderful phrase that was first used by Alexis de Tocqueville, who came to the United States in the very early 1930s and traveled around our country," said Hillary Clinton, a probable 2016 presidential candidate. "And he was so amazed at how Americans organized themselves -- you know, coming from aristocratic Europe, which was totally top-down and hierarchical -- he couldn't believe how many of us were joiners. But it was not only because individually going that far back we saw that as something we wanted to do for ourselves, but because we knew together we could do so much more. You know, at a time, when sometimes we seem divided and people seem to be arguing all the time, we really have to take stock of how blessed we are, be grateful for the men and women who serve us, and be thankful that we have through all of our ups and our downs and our challenges continue to stand for the values that unite us: freedom and democracy and opportunity."
Tocqueville died in 1859, well before the 1930s. Indeed, the French man came to America in the 1830s, meaning Clinton got her history wrong by a hundred years.

The United States entered the Great War with its eyes wide open. The mechanical slaughter in Europe had already left millions dead. In the trenches, men had to contend with lice, rats, sickness, mud, extreme temperatures, human waste, rotting corpses, and boredom as well as the threats of poison gas, explosive shells, and being buried alive. In 1914, Europe went to war with only the dimmest awareness of the horrors to come. Yet Congress voted overwhelmingly for a declaration of war in the absence of any direct threat to U.S.
Martin Kramer, writing for Mosaic:
The death of Fouad Ajami this weekend, at the age of 68, deprived this country and the world of a uniquely powerful voice – one that is at the same time both Arab and American – that could have helped guide us, as he has in the past, through the hazards and complications of his native Middle East.
T.S. Eliot thought that the first requisite for being a literary critic is to be very intelligent. The second, I should say, is to have a well-stocked mind, which means having knowledge of literatures and literary traditions other than that into which one was born; possessing several languages; and acquiring a more than nodding acquaintance with history, philosophy, and theology—to be, in brief, learned. To be both highly intelligent and learned is not all that common. Eliot claimed for himself—and this by implication, for he was a modest man—only the former.
During a celebration of African-American History Month, Vice President Joe Biden said, "I may be a white boy, but I can jump." The comments were made at Biden's home, the Naval Observatory.
Via the pool report:
Mr. Vladimir Putin intends that the current Olympic games be forever stamped with his glory. Sochi is being protected by a "Ring of Steel." Thus has spoken Russia's current Man of Steel, who sees himself as the rightful descendant of the original, although Mr.
President Obama traveled to Wisconsin yesterday and engaged in a tasteless bit of anti-intellectualism.
Ariel Sharon—a man whose deeds as soldier, general, cabinet minister, and prime minister were decisive in the history of modern Israel, a soldier-statesman of true historical significance, a larger-than-life figure whose like we're unlikely to see again—dies, and Barack Obama issues a statement that would be appropriate if one were recognizing the death of a pedestrian functionary who had routinely served as the insignificant leader of a random country.
Two hundred and forty years ago this month, a gang of Bostonians dressed as Indians boarded the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver and dumped 90,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. That fateful action on December 16, 1773, and Parliament's inflammatory response—closing the Port of Boston, altering the colony's charter, radically limiting popular government in Massachusetts, allowing the quartering of troops in private houses, among other arbitrary measures—precipitated the American Revolution.
At the start of last month's government shutdown, a mostly overlooked message emanated from the Twitter account of Michelle Obama, informing her followers: "Due to Congress's failure to pass legislation to fund the government, updates to this account will be limited." The conventions of American governance typically exclude the first lady from the rough-and-tumble of politics, yet it does raise an important question: Why is America paying a staffer good money to publish Tweets under Michelle Obama's name?
There is a genre of books about politics written by ideologues on both sides of the divide. Their aim is to inform their fellow partisans about the misinformation, misdeeds, and malign intentions of the people on the other side, offering talking points to rally the troops for the next confrontation. The authors are often prominent media figures—Glenn Beck, for example.
In the six presidential elections between 1992 and 2012, the Democratic party has regained the solid popular vote majority it enjoyed during the New Deal/Great Society era (1932-64) but relinquished in the six elections between 1968 and 1988.

Oxford Textured Leather Chair
Red Oxford Chair
I bought this to put in my bedroom, but it is still in my living room! It is very comfortable and fits me well. Several of my guests at Christmas commented on the color(same as pictured) and how comfortable it was to sit in. As some other reviewers mentioned, it is more like "pleather" than leather. However, the color is beautiful and it fits nicely in a small space. I would buy this chair again.

Fireside Perfection
Love my new cayenne pepper Oxford Textured Leather Chair from Grandinroad. It's a perfect fit for limited space beside my kiva fireplace, yet isn't overwhelmed by a larger sofa and chair in my living room. A great price, too!

always wanted a red leather chair
Finally found one I could afford. What you see is what you get. A well constructed, butter soft leather, very comfortable chair; delivered in a flash! Thanks Grandinroad, I will be back
August 14, 2014
Loved these chairs in the picture, but they are very small and extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Would like to send them back but original shipping cost along with additional return shipping would make it not very practical. Lesson learned.
August 12, 2014
It is the perfect chair for a small space. I could have purchased something cheaper for an accent chair. Good wood frame and real leather. It will last a long time. Can be handed down to next generation. Besides, I fell in love with the design.

Oxford Textured Leather Chair
Love the Red Color, much better in person than catalog, Perfect for small scale rooms... Bought mine for out door covered patio, very happy, much more comfortable than one would think for a small chair; No Regrets on any item I bought in this line

Great Value!
I requested sample colors and they were mailed to me within a week free of charge. My order was delivered promptly and assembly could not have been any easier. I love the more petite size but still get the look I want for our office. great value! thank you.

What kind of padding is used and how much padding is there in this product?
I received an answer to the first of 2 questions regarding padding in this chair and accompanying love seat. "There is padding."
However, my follow-up question was of what kind and how much? Can anyone say, please?
I like the idea of a firm chair and loveseat, but want some amount of comfort.

Thank you for your interest in the Oxford Textured Leather Chair. Firmness vs comfort is a very subject opinion. We are looking into getting additional information on the thickness and material used for padding and will update you as soon as we get more information.9 months ago
The Oxford textured Leather Chair features foam padding. The manufacturer was not able to give a specific amount or depth. The seat does sit firm at 18.5"H.8 months ago
The description indicates 100% leather over a solid wood frame. Many reviews say that the chair & loveseat are very firm. Is there any padding at all? If so, what kind & how much?

Advice to ManagementAdviceThe mangement of Steiner are the worst low life ever. They mistreat and use their employees to get revenue and sales.. they are disgustingly form of unethical modern day slavery if you are thinking about joining Steiner dont do it!! There is nothing about health and beauty other than the loads of makeup us employees are forced to wear. They should open Onboard Steiner Products shops instead of manipulaing great therapist in need of money and jobs into selling their products. Being there i jeopardized my own health by standing up 12 hrs promoting their supposed health.. felt my feet throbbing off poor circulation for standing up so many hours. If you have nothing to offer to people.. dont lie and cheat them out of their great lives!!!! There should be a stop to this ridiculous Company.. Spa is not what they make of it and Health certainly isnt as well. !!!!!

Oil rebounds in Asian trade but prices tipped to face downward pressure
Published on Jan 6, 2014 12:04 PM
SINGAPORE (AFP) - Oil prices rebounded in Asian trade Monday on bargain hunting and concerns over Iraqi exports after militants bombed a major pipeline north of the country.
However, analysts said prices still faced downward pressure due to easing demand and the return of normal Libyan oil production that would bolster supplies.
New York's main contract West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for February delivery was up 17 US cents at US$94.13 in mid-morning trade, while Brent North crude also for February rose 24 US cents to US$107.13.
WTI fell US$1.48 on Friday, ending the week down more than US$6.

The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - Gov. Peter Shumlin is marking the start of construction of what will become the home of the Vermont Agency of Human Services at the Waterbury office complex, most of which had to be abandoned after it was damaged by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
The governor on Tuesday ceremoniously helped construction crews pour one of the first concrete footings on what will become the new state office building.
The $125 million Waterbury state office project is the largest state capital construction project in state history.
Construction is due to be completed by the end of 2015. Once that is done, it will become home to about 900 employees of the Agency of Human Services.
The new site is designed to survive the next big storm.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

This old artwork is kept rolled up and hidden, as are its brothers and sisters. Why?
The Totem of Nehual is something of a Maltese Falcon. Many have spent long periods of their life searching for it, spending vast sums of money, and in the end never finding it, or only finding it long enough to lose it.
The warrior's footfalls echoed on the cobbles. His breath steamed in the cold, frosty air. He heard the frantic movement of assailants in the shadowed alley shuffling to surround him.
The warrior laughed. It was a bitter, dry laugh. "It won't do you any good. I feel no pain. Prepare to meet Balor."
Made for a brave adventurer by a spurned lover, every chain was lovingly crafted with iron and locks of her hair. The finished armor was polished with tears and blood till her final days...
BEWARE all who dare wear this chainmail...
A common tool of necromancers, nether mages, and others who are privvy to the arts of the dead and undead
Just as the Dimensional Engine supplanted the fission reactor, the DTR will eventually replace the D-Engine. Once they iron out the little bugs.
The CogNet might be policed by sentient programs and controlled by artificially intelligent super computers, but it is built on top of millions of organic memory cores that function as its host.
One man's ultimate demise could prove another's treasure...Or curse.
Gotta have dat juice!
Golgotha, Shadowrunner and notorious Juicer
A tiny marble cherry with an amber heart inlaid. One of the Lolliful Avenger's most devastatingly effective weapons.
Once upon a time this sword may have been a sight to behold, but no more. Rust and decay now tarnish the metal of this forgotten relic, and those who stumble upon it are more likely to toss it than use it.
Based off of the Rubik's Cube, the Emote Cube is a banned piece of arcanotechnology
Ah, you are awake now I see. Wondrous news. I realized that you have no idea what is transpiring so I will be blunt so you may understand it. It is rumored that you are one of the best jewelers and metalsmiths in the region and for that you are lucky enough to have been chosen to create an item that will change the world. And afterwards, you shall be set free. My word on it.
Decanus Kormak
I watched in horror as the final pieces were infused together with dark magics granted to the mighty Kormak by Shivenhusk Himself. The head from Lord King Vyrkril was placed on a base of blacked bone and thrust into the cold burning fire. I swear I hear it scream in agony. Decnus Kormak smiled at his late king and when he pulled the chalice from the blue flame bare handed, he clutched it covetously. That alone made me afraid.
Tis but a scratch, send the guards and make sure they capture that joke of an assassin
"You will all die for what you have done to me!" Van Torxes hissed. As his face reddened with anger, he stormed out of the room towards his chambers.
"The gods must have truly wanted the king to drown, to make him meet such an end in a mud puddle, most unfortunate indeed. Then again we all knew he was unsteady on his feet, a pity that cane his son gave him for his 85th birthday didn't serve him better..."
A magically cursed walking stick, often gifted to those who have been on the throne a little too long. Suitable for use in any magical fantasy setting and easily adapted to higher tech magical settings.
It is said by the village gray beards Of Breen, that the band of human exiles who founded their prosperous farming settelment almost a century ago,had to fight a long,savage struggle with the original inhabitants of the fertile valley;monstrous trolls that saw the new arrivals as meals, rather than as potential neighbours.After 5 long years, the humans with their superior steel weapons, drove the troll tribe into the bleak highlands and hills sourounding the valley.But as time passed, the old tale begun to become legend, rather than history and is regarded by most, as a mere story used by parents to frighten disobediant children.And yet the village leaders have always forbidden their people from wandering the hills....

Definition of Body odorBody odor: An unpleasant smell produced after perspiration. Body odor occurs when sweat contacts bacteria that normally reside on the skin. Sweat itself is almost odorless, but the combination of sweat with skin bacteria can produce an offensive odor. Good hygiene and antiperspirant or deodorant products can be used to manage the condition. In some unusually severe cases, prescription strength deodorants or antiperspirants may be required. Also known as "B.O."

TVA hires new communications head
TVA hires new communications head
The Tennessee Valley Authority announced today it has named a new head of communications, bringing aboard Janet Brewer, who formerly headed communications for technology company NCR Corp.
Brewer is vice president of communications for TVA with a salary of $235,000 a year and will be based at the federal utility's Knoxville headquarters. She replaces David Mould, who left TVA as senior vice president of communications in June.
At NCR, Brewer served as director of community relations, vice president of change management and communications for continuous improvement and vice president of corporate communications. NCR is a $5.4 billion global technology company based in Atlanta.
Before NCR, Brewer led corporate communications teams at LexisNexis, a provider of online support information, and The Reynolds and Reynolds Co., an information management company for the automotive industry. She is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University with a bachelor's in journalism.
"We recognize the importance of communications and brand management as work toward TVA's vision to be one of the nation's leaders in providing low-cost, reliable and cleaner energy," Joe Hoagland, TVA senior vice president for policy and oversight, said in a prepared statement. "Janet brings excellent experience that will help TVA achieve that vision."
Since Mould's departure, Kim Greene, TVA group president for strategy and external relations, had headed communications. TVA announced June 15 that Mould, who had held his post since 2009, was leaving TVA, although neither he nor TVA gave a reason. At the time, TVA also contracted with Tom Griscom, former Chattanooga Times Free Press executive editor and member of Gov. Bill Haslam's transition team, to help with communications.

Tom Brady and Gisele Celebrate Fenway's 100th With Kisses in Boston
Tom Brady planted a sweet kiss on his wife, Gisele Bundchen, as they enjoyed the Fenway Park 100th anniversary celebration in Boston on Friday. Since Tom is the star QB of the New England Patriots, he and Gisele have joined the ranks of other celebrity Red Sox fans including Massachusetts natives Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg. Legendary Red Sox players took the field for the ceremony, but unfortunately the team ultimately lost the evening's game to the New York Yankees. While in town, Gisele was spotted out with her adorable son Ben, and she also hit up the opening of the new Rag and Bone store on Newbury Street. By Saturday, Tom, Gisele, and Ben headed back to California, where their LA mansion construction project is close to completion.
