I want to read the essay!
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Megan, I only know about the last of your three questions. a) What kind of games are there, other than board games ?
The other ones are harder to clue- can I just tell you?

Don't feel you're alone in Dessert Disaster '07, Cindy. My mom destroyed 2 pumpkin pies (one homemade, one store-bought) that she was making for the family Thanksgiving, and my créme de menthe brownies ended up like pumice covered with mint pudding.

Also, in the cocktail box, does anyone have the one that connects only to Zombie, and the one on the border that connects to the two flaming drinks?

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

Lee,
I was talking about the automobile square. Do the spaces between train and go-karts have to do with games?
And, yes please, tell me the others!

Lee, your cocktail box one is an action and a song title related to the adjectives below

Thanks ita!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
For the past two weeks, high school nurse Colleen Kahler has been on high alert. Her office, which typically treats routine ailments such as sore throats, stomach aches and pulled muscles, has been transformed into a screening center for an unlikely disease with a name that recalls a bygone era -- whooping cough.
New Trier had 26 confirmed cases of pertussis by November 16, or one third of all those reported in suburban Cook County. The school's first case was detected in late August when students returned from summer break. There have also been reports of sporadic cases at other high schools in the area.
Hm. A couple of weeks ago I was working with kids from New Trier. Now I'm all paranoid any time I cough.
