That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My mouse doesn't like that game. It keeps getting hung up and I die.

Because books.

Don't click the link if you're planning on getting any work done today.

It's like Pong!

If I only had a brain...

It would be tacky to start handing out Hell Dollars on this, my last day at work, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

On your last day at work, there is no such thing as tacky.

It IS like pong! Like pong on crack! I think I should maybe take a break from it.

As soon as I finish this level.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What are Hell Dollars?

I never played Pong (we weren't that cutting edge), but this game is reminds me of Breakout on the Atari 2600, which I played for hours and hours.

Congratulations JonB and FAQ Girl!

I miss Jack-in-the-Box. That's quality fast food. I had egg salad sandwich for lunch and it was to die. Was there ever a finer invention than mayonnaise?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Is this why you want a second freezer in the basement?

There is just too much evil I have had to refrain from because of my lack of basement space.

Finally, I can become the guy that Tom Waits is singing about. "What's he building in there? What the hell is he building in there?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love how the speed at which the bat is moving when it hits the ball affects the speed of the ball. I'm unduly charmed by the whole thing.

Hell dollars are what you bring to a traditional Chinese funeral and burn so that the deceased will have money in the afterlife.
