Hahaha. Growing up, my family would sit down as the bar and give dollar bills to the strippers... oh wait, that's how you and me spend Christmas.

Why don't you give me a call tomorrow about 1:30, we'll meet up, drink to make the pain go away.

Oh and watch this Justin Timberlake skit from SNL. Hilarious.
Baby Jesus, the family z-mas party is outta the way.

Growing up, every night for dinner my family would sit down to eat... in different parts of the house. That's just how I grew up, and that's how I like it. But holiday gatherings where yer expected to sit TOGETHER for a whole meal WITH A BUNCH OF STRANGERS THROWN IN (ie, family and friends) - ugh. Drives me nuts. But, it's over. Drank a lot and ate a lot and now I'm free again (ie, alone in my room rubbing one off to a youtube booty video.) Ok, the last part is a lie. Just got home! Gotta work up some christ-mass steam!

PEE-ESS: I'll try and make it tomorrow Jon. I'll try calling you or something tomorrow. I'm playing "Teh Longest Journey" right now - never played it, but it gets lots of kudos for being an awesome adventure game. 2.5gigs, better be good! So far, not too bad. I complained about all the dialoge in Broken Sword 2, but this game is just MAD with talking. At first it was pretty depressing but once you get the initial 30 minute conversations outta the way it starts to have a puzzle or two. Slow start, but I'm starting to enjoy it. Then I can get that new sequel, Dreamfall.

Saturday night for me, assboat!

Dive Into The Holidays

So as usual, y'all are invited to the Christmas Eve's afternoon get-together at the Poop Deck/Mermaid. We generally go to the Poop Deck around 2-3:00 and have some cheapass beer, then move on to the Mermaid and have some snacks and mixed drinks before saying adios around 5:30-6:00 and moving on to our respective destinations. It is tons of fun, a surprisingly fun way to spend the early hours of Xmas Eve, and, as usual, is utterly futile for me to even mention, because none of you guys will show up! Be there or be square!

I'd also love it if we could get together for an Action Team game session Tuesday or Wednesday... either of those days are fine with me. Anyone interested?
so when do u cocksuckers start showing up in town already!?!
I <3 butts

Ry, that website is priceless. Uggg... Every time I make it back down there I get so bummed out that Manhattan and Hermosa are nothing like when I was younger. I know part of that is viewing things through the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia, but I know a lot of the difference lies in the flood of money.

Booo...
I <3 Teh Tree Section

This tool lives around the corner from us and he has those stickers all over his cars. I have decided that I don't want to work with him because his vanity plate says "PAY" on it. I assume these are his initials, but still, for some reason I don't want wanna deal with an agent with that on his plates.

BTW, the plate is on a sweet Chrysler Le Baron. Another reason I would NEVER work with him, I'm snooty like that!
Hey Eric... did you guys check out this website before you bought your current house? More importantly, have you checked it out before you have decided to move away? Just wondering... there's still time to decide to stay!!!

ADDED:
As my adventure-game reintroduction slowly comes to an end (Broken Sword 2 is kinda weaksauce - I can't take all the dialoge) I found Ron Gilbert's blog - he made the Monkey Island games and like maybe Maniac Mansion (I'm already forgetting what I learned 3 minutes ago). Anyways way back when he gave his impressions on WoW. Man, what a globall game. I remember when I first played it too - I remember the early days when we were all sitting around that big log under the dock in Darkshore just shootin the shit. The good 'ol days. Ohh, and here's a really interesting podcast with this dude.

Working a desk job with a 98% (self-induced) downtime, I've discovered the joys and pains of the web wide world. Anyways, I've gone back to a daily dose of Something Awful - I can usually get a few genuine giggles out of it. If you guys haven't seen this brilliant bit, CLiCK! - Its the newspaper clippings (under the "What The" heading there.) Brilliant. Some of the best stuff is the non-circled ads. They've got a few really good and funny writers.

This is a pointless observation that I noticed while I was cooking up some eggs this morning...

Did you notice that some of the eggs are fertilized? It's wierd thinking that I am inadvertently eating some chicken spew. Meh.

My friend got one of those epson personal photo printers for Xmas. It's really cool. I have to say digital printers have come a long way and the pictures are of the same quality as those you would develop at the store. (one of thos 5x8 photos (standard)

Picture this

This models discont, but used to retail for under 100 i think.

This particular liunk worked well for me - good if you are just using em as backups ya know. Errr... Yeah, finished "The Dig" - it was good! Not the best, but definately had some cool puzzles in it. There was one STUPIDLY hard puzzle I had to lookup on the internet for. Other than that, just about as hard as other games of that era. Next up, I dunno - maybe Broken Sword 2 or something.
>>Hei dude
>>You Love Big tits? But Girls love big weenie!
>>If you don't have one - GET ONE!
>>Not only a larger meat will make you feel better, it will make you look better!

I love spam, it makes me laugh.

Rude - cool find! I've downloaded ScummVM, now trying to find my old games to play... why were they some much better back then. (God we sound old.)

I'll be even older on Monday - boo!
