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.
I am really bad at spotting photo manipulation, so I am guessing lots just do not see it/think about it.
ION - mac is DYING for a handheld game player. I think he is going to have to wait for next Christmas, but do people have strong feelings about certain ones? Most of the kids he knows have DS, but I think that is because of price.
Tom has a DS and has gotten our 5 year old nephew addicted to it, so we are on the hook to buy him one for his 6th birthday, heh. But Tom and Nephew Sean seem to love it!

Bwah! That's what I was going to say! It's the only time I ever loved (or even vaguely understood) football.
I'm not sure I ever understood football, but I did understand the little bleep-bleep-bleeping red dots.
Oh, man, I kicked ass at that football game.
My brother and I both got really good at it. When playing against each other, we developed the strategy of taking an entire half to score a touchdown, waiting until time had run out on the clock to do so. That way the other player could not score in the same half.
We ended up with a lot of tied games.
Anyone have that Battlestar Galactica game? The first Cylon always came straight up the middle, so you just kept the firing thing in the middle and fired as soon as the game started, and you were guaranteed a 6 (or whatever) for killing the first Cylon.
I'm never going to understand why anyone would adulterate perfectly good banana bread with chocolate chips.
Because it tastes better that way. And far better than it tastes when filled with nuts or t ack! ptui! ruined by raisins.
I never really got good at the football game, because it was Something My Cousins Had and I only got to play it on vacation (other Things My Cousins Had: Atari. Cable TV. VCR. Commodore 64. Thank you, Uncle Bob, for being a total gadgethead!)
Instead, I got a Merlin ( [link] ), because it was fucking educational. And it was: it taught me that Tic Tac Toe gets really boring about 3 seconds after you figure out how to force a tie every time, ages before War Games came out.

We had that too. I remember liking it, but not for the Tic Tac Toe game. What were the other games it could play?
