In light of the recent editorial takeover, I have chosen to repost this classic from waaay back in aught-six. Take away what you will.

I have been changing diapers for just over nine months. And like so many, I’m sure in the years to come I will have achieved an unappreciated master status, of sorts, in the day-to-day battles against the devious dirty diaper. I remember those carefree days with so much free time to sit around with video games, D+D, WoW, EVE, and the like. Now, at least for the mean time, those days are diminished.

However, for those of you in my storm battered boat, I’ve come to impart my accumulated knowledge and strategy for dealing with the beastie little diapers. I must begin by saying, know your enemy! Diapers, in fact , have a deadly attack if unheeded, but are quite low in hit points and can be mastered with proper resources and planning. Here is a picture of a particularly nasty, snarling creature I recently dispatched

From the desk of Earl B Morris

Last year I wrote an open letter to William Katt detailing complaints I had regarding his lack of communication with our Murfreesboro chapter of his fan club.  Via the miracle of the world widening of the web based telecommunications called "Netting" among those in the know, I recieved a missive from Mr. Katt in which he apologized for his lateness in responding, and agreed to answer a few questions for his fans.

The interview follows:

Earl B Morris: In a recent meeting of our local Murfreesboro chapter of the The Katillacs, our Greatest American Hero fan club, a bit of a tête-à-tête ensued regarding my uniform.
Some members claimed that my “packing” my costume in order to compensate for areas where nature had failed to provide was immoral and probably illegal, to which I responded that this was a common technique among actors and jazz dancers, and in no way undermined the efficacy of the costume. Will you help to settle this unrest?

 
William Katt: Certainly didn’t get in the way of Errol Flynn or more recently Jack Black for that matter.
Hell… if the network wasn’t so prudish when I was doing Greatest American Hero I’m sure the show would have run another 3 or 4 seasons. If boots were made for walking then tights were made for stretching.

How To Change a Diaper

I have been changing diapers for just over nine months. And like so many, I’m sure in the years to come I will have achieved an unappreciated master status, of sorts, in the day-to-day battles against the devious dirty diaper. I remember those carefree days with so much free time to sit around with video games, D+D, WoW, EVE, and the like. Now, at least for the mean time, those days are dimenished.
However, for those of you in my storm battered boat, I’ve come to impart my accumulated knowledge and strategy for dealing with the beastie little diapers. I must begin by saying, know your enemy! Diapers, in fact , have a deadly attack if unheeded, but are quite low in hit points and can be mastered with proper resources and planning. Here is a picture of a particularly nasty, snarling creature I recently dispatched.
Firstly, bring up your magic user. I suggest a stout ‘protection from evil’ spell, although, a simple ’shield’ will work in a pinch. Any wizard worth his salt should have no problem with enough range and duration to complete the job. Back him off! But , have him waiting in the wings with a ‘fireball’ at the ready should things get out of hand.

Next, send in the thief. The ‘open locks’ ability is not so important as their ‘move silently’ and ‘find/remove traps’ prowess. Many a party rue the day they sent forth an incompetent thief!

Now for the big gun. Unleash the barbarian!

Now is not the time for squeamish dandies. Send in the brute heavily armed and ready for business. High constitution a definite plus. In many cases an entire party will need to save vs. poison , but your fighter is particularly vulnerable. With any luck, however, he’ll slay the beast out of sight and mind before it can focus its deadly attack!

With the worst over, it is a time for healing. Hence, the cleric.

Go to the afflicted area where the creature made its lair and ‘cure light wounds’ with a laying on of hands. Or at the very least, with one index finger dipped in medicinal salve. Wash thoroughly with holy water afterwards.

After slaying these beasts time and again, not only will you gain valuble experience, but towns-people far and wide are sure to shower you with praise and treasures.
