'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hil's tag variation sounds a bit like what "circle of friends" is supposed to be, if I understand the game right. But I can't remember what other variations of tag there are. Freeze tag, right? What was TV tag?
I want PE at work. Just to run around and tackle people in the middle of the day.
new color faceplates for my cellphone are ordered. YAY.
Seriously, which is why I prefaced that it was a un-PC name.
Oh, I did see that, Frank. I didn't mean anything against anyone talking about it. I just--seeing it today--I've flinched every time I've read it. Ben and friends were playing a game called Suicide (you throw a tennis ball at someone, or against the wall, but at someone--I don't know, I got a convoluted explanation of it from him). I nearly freaked the first time he told me he and his friends were playing suicide. Gah.
Depending on the context (whether it was an adjective or a noun), back in those days queer=stupid, or queer=a stupid jerk, etc.

What was TV tag?
If you're about to be tagged, you can sit down and shout out the name of a TV show, and you're safe. We generally said that it was only fair to sit if the tagger was pretty close by (pretty much, if one more step would put you within arm's reach), and that if you said a show that someone had already used during that game, you were it.
Can someone explain to me how tax cuts are going to reduce the deficit?
Smear the queer is the worst name, ever. I don't think I've ever heard that before today. I'm still cringing every time I read it.
Same here. I'm also planning on forgetting it.
Yesterday would have been our 23rd anniversary, so it got me in a googling mood. Glad he's doing well. Even more glad we're not together anymore.
Today would have been my 32nd anniversary with DH#1. I feel exactly the same way.
Upon closer examination of an e-mail I received this morning, I realized that he wants me "writhe" some stuff to CD. I'm not sure I'm comfortable doing that for a coworker...

Could be a whole new line on your resume.

It helps the economy, see....

Sure, let me just grab this cocktail napkin...
