"The Head Crusher likes visa cards." The man smiles. "He slathers peanut butter on them and eats them." He shakes his head. "Weird, but then, most everything is weird out here -- present company excepted, of course."

And now I have to go get Jilli and make the very important mental switch in driving...

A very important mental switch. A 19 year old, Need for Speed II, and a Hyundai Excel don't mix folks. At least, not well.

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

Sure, but 10 years later, they finally fixed your special highway guardrail (the Excel is another matter)

Did previous GTA games use the word "Schadenfreude" while discussing health-care policy?

Damn you all for talking so much about GTA. I'm not picking it up soon since I just don't have the time but you people are making me want to play it nownownownownow.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Omnis is on the Fraggin' List. No change there.
Just don't make me ride with you in GTA. Sounds like I drive faster than you IRL, and I'm told I drive like grannies! (speed limit, cuz I get REALLY good mileage, and @ $4/gallon... frack that!)

So Pete, since you drive like a Bitch... if you look in the rear view mirror, do you look adorable??

(I am SOOOO toast next time I play Halo with him)

He's gonna figure out a way to frag you in Backgammon.

Does Geocaching count as a game? More of a hobby... dunno. However, it's spin off, Waymarking (which is finding landmarks rather then little treasures) has a "666 sightings" category. I find that HILARIOUS!
