It's come up twice lately, so I'll let everyone know that yes, I'm in
Seattle. There are indeed Gloranthan campaigns running here (tho summer
makes it hard to schedule).

That's the way I'm playing our stead leader, but it's 1) a constant reminder to the other characters that we need to make sure we get a crop; 2) an annoyance to the GM who expects us to act like adventurers. I think the answer to both of these is to relax time a bit -- it's unreasonable for normal people to have the adventure density of typical play, but not so unusual to have one or two interesting events each year.

Sure! In Jonas Schiott's/my East Ralios, people yell "Arkat!" when they stub their toe or discover that their cows have been stolen. Unfortunately, like your example, this requires a knowledge of Glorantha to be meaningful -- it's not the sort of color you can use to lure people in. At least with "You son-of-a-broo" the outsider has a clue what we're saying.
Sandy, never get into an argument with someone who claims for himself the title of "Most Obnoxious Pedant." I suspect not even Storm Bulls get into obnoxiousness contests.
