Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We also had some sort of "guess the word" game. I don't remember what it was called or who made it, so I haven't found it at that site yet. It had a membrane keyboard with all the letters, and an oval-shaped display. Any ideas?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac currently has a leapster and v-smile both of which are educational, but I think we may only have another 9-12 mos for them. There are games, specifically math ones for leapster that could stretch the use for a few more years, but that is only if he stay interested and will actually use it.

I still have my Merlin, and a few years ago I showed it to my nephew, as an example if the Electronic games I had growing up. He could not have thought it lamer.

Hee!

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.

My nephew thought I was BS-ing him when I told him Merlin was "state of the art" when I was 10-11. It was pretty funny

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can I get some love for the Speak & Spell?

We didn't have that. I think I developed an irrational dislike of that game after E.T. used it to phone home....

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I *always* wanted a Speak & Spell! My friend had one and I would play with it for HOURS. I attribute my spelling bee success to it.

Can I get some love for Simon?? [link]

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

Many wasted hours, there. Aw, yeah.
