Monk

A monk (from Greek: μοναχός, monachos, "single, solitary" and Latin monachus) is a person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings, or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and in philosophy.

In the Greek language the term can apply to women, but in modern English it is mainly in use for men. The word nun is typically used for female monastics.

Although the term monachos is of Christian origin, in the English language "monk" tends to be used loosely also for both male and female ascetics from other religious or philosophical backgrounds. However, being generic, it is not interchangeable with terms that denote particular kinds of monk, such as friar, cenobite, hermit, anchorite, hesychast, or solitary.

Heroscape

Heroscape (stylized as "heroScape" or "HeroScape") is an expandable turn-based miniature wargaming system originally manufactured by Milton Bradley Company, and later by Wizards of the Coast, both subsidiaries of Hasbro, Inc., and discontinued by Hasbro in November 2010. The game is played using pre-painted miniature figures on a board made from interlocking hexagonal tiles that allow for construction of a large variety of 3D playing boards. The game is often noted and lauded by fans for the relatively high production quality of the game materials, in particular the pre-painted miniature figures as well as its interchangeable and variable landscape system.

History

Heroscape was released in 2004. The game designers are Craig Van Ness, Rob Daviau, and Stephen Baker at Hasbro Games. Hasbro's subsidiary, Milton Bradley, also developed HeroQuest and Battle Masters. Heroscape is designed for 2 or more players ages 8 and older, although it can easily be adapted to more players, particularly if more than one master set and expansion sets are used. There are additional expansion sets that can be purchased (see: Master Sets and Expansion Sets, below).

    I Ain't Gettin' Any

    by: Monks

    Girls, they're just a waste of time
    I buy them drinks all night
    But just get out my mind
    Everytime I take one home
    They only use my phone
    I ain't got one my own
    Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
    Even when you're good looking like me
    I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
    No, not many
    'Cause I ain't gettin' any
    Joe, he ain't no Romeo
    Thease dollies come and go
    What's he got, I don't know
    Once I brought this tasty chick
    I thought, "Now this is it"
    She said, "I'm feeling sick."
    Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
    Even when you're good looking like me
    I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
    No, not many
    'Cause I ain't gettin' any
    Aurrgh, I think I'll play some guitar...
    Sounds good, doesn't it.
    Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
    Even when you're good looking like me
    I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
    No, not many
    'Cause I ain't gettin' any
    Bought myself this flash coupé
    I cruised around all day
    And it got towed away
    Took this bird out to a show
    We had the whole back row
    She kept on sayin' no, no, NO!
    Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
    Even when you're good looking like me
    I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
    No, not many
    'Cause I ain't gettin' any
    I ain't gettin' much
    I ain't gettin' any
    I ain't gettin' much
    I ain't gettin' any
    I ain't gettin' much
