Out of the Blue

Last year I recall a couple of occasions where rain storms failed to put a dent in the snow piles, but yesterday was the opposite... one good day of rain eliminated about every flake that had previously accumulated.

Thanks to those with advice on hosting a network game behind NAT... I haven't gotten to try this out yet, but it's reassuring to know that there's a method to properly tunnel through to my machine.

That New Zealand accidental prohibition story of the day from yesterday was actually from a couple of years ago, so please just consider that the nostalgia link of the day.

Play Time: Mad Shark. Thanks Nick.
Are You Grammatically Incorrect? Thanks Ant. Damn subjunctive mood ruined my perfect score.
Link of the Day: Pacelman. Pacman for Excel. Thanks Bronco.

But driving 120+mph at on-coming traffic is fun. Not to mention racking up 20+ "near misses" in a row!

Did you every try the Burnout series?

It is a fun game

Yes it is. The Plain ole' racing is boring. But driving 120+mph at on-coming traffic is fun. Not to mention racking up 20+ "near misses" in a row! That is the redeeming feature of racing. But the drift racing is fun....at first. But god do I love how they did the drag racing! woot! I still can not believe though, that you do not get extra style points for jumping over another car! Bah!

It is a fun game, the rice is built in to help your score unfortunately, but after you finish the game you can max out a sleeper looking car to play online.

But damn am I having fun playing NFS:Underground, and ricing out my car. Everytime I race, I think god that looks ugly as Paula Jones that has been pooped out of a bear, but yet it is still fun!

I feel like a "unwashed" heathen!

Bronco, where ya been? Everything ok?

Work has bodyslammed me for the past week.

No big deal, usual end of year stuff. Four jobs went to bid in the past 6 days, year end close out of books, HR year end stuff. Plus all the stuff I normally do. Plus the house. Plus shopping for Christmas. Plus an hour a night for BGII.

In other words:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!1

It's a good thing English is not my first language.

So, what is your first language?

Bah, 7/10. The me/I, laid/lay, and bad/badly questions screwed me up. My junior English teacher (who was a British grammar Nazi of the highest caliber) would be furious %).

Bah, I missed the "I" question as well. I also missed the lay vs lied question... I never could grasp that in elementary school. I think I got it now though, some 20 years later. Or, should I say late?

the best part about life is knowing you put it together
