If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Holy crap the Facebook backgammon app is fugly. It kind of hurts my eyes.

(There are 2 other backgammon apps I can see, but on one of them all the reviews say "This app doesn't work!" and the other uses Java and won't load on my work PC - same problem as Yahoo games. So I'm stuck with the ugly one until someone writes something better. Oh well!)

[edit: Well, none of the other backgammon apps seem to work, at least not on my work PC. Feh!]

Omnis, I think you should join me in a spot of Halo. Bring friends. You'll need them.

Golly, I have to work (first time I'm happy about that phrase!) Seriously tho, I might be home 10ish. I could flip on the xbox to give you some glee in kicking my ass. Or will GTA be too absorbing?

GTA will be too absorbing. We should try to get a few people together because Halo just doesn't work well 1 v 1.

In GTA, after 1 mission where I was parked off the road near a car wash, this shitty little white car pulled in and proceeded to drive circles around me. Sure enough, the person driving it turned out to be a joyrider.

I beat him up.

Ooo! I must have gotten better. I'm counted as a whole player in Halo! Woot! Ya. I agree. A mosh pit is far more fun.

I was rounding up fractions.

You win. I am now too disturbed to mock you further.

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