Joins Theodosia in signmaking, at least until Friday when I'll have an entire weekend to devote to it, if need be (and it sounds like I'll need it!).

I came into work early to get some things done before I have to leave to go to my eye doctor's appointment at 10. I didn't get new glasses after last year's appointment like I should have, so now I've been squinting at everything. I'll still have to wait until after Xmas to get new lenses unless I can talk my dad into giving me new glasses for my Xmas present. I was going to ask him for an exercise bike, but I think I need to see more.

The puzzle has eaten my brain to such an extent that I am (a) trolling for puzzle spoilers on the thousand other boards that have been consumed by it and (b) incredibly amused to have found a Belgian adult site doing it in Flemish.

This is the internet's secret sauce, isn't it?

Narrator, the evil puzzle that ate Natter is here. See the header "Puzzles"? This puzzle is the second link: Funny Farm.

sumi, what is a baseball game played on ? and what do you do with the ball? and what do you eat at a game ?

msbelle - 3rd hint: I have bat, I tried catch, throw and pitch. Not working.

sumi - with the bat you BLANK the ball .

sumi - think of a shape and a classic food item .

I am still stuck on the link between Penn & Teller and Las Vegas.

I've done all my work, resolved some printer problems in Minnesota for my supervisor who hasn't arrived yet, and sorted through all the spam that gets sent to our fax machine. I've only been at work for an hour.

Is this what things used to be like before the internets?

suzi - I have kinda just given up on that one.

Hmm, suzyq - your clue isn't helping me.

And I can't get that connection in the magicians box either. I clearly don't know enough about magicians!

Is this what things used to be like before the internets?

Or, at least, before the puzzle thingy took over Natter.
