Does anyone else remember having the Which Witch? board game?
YES!!! I was the star of the 3rd grade because I had a copy!
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

When I Googled it, I found a copy on eBay for $179.00. Holy shit! Now I'm pissed we got rid of ours at our garage sale back in 1985.

Fun game, but NEVER play it with anyone who has rules lawyer tendencies.
Yes this. Also true for Mao. Unless you are with playfully contentious people, that way lies sharp objects and alibi seeking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, it wasn't something the software was supposed to tell you about? That's a major major pisser. My return got kicked back, but in time for me to resubmit ahead of the deadline.
I remember we played a lot of Illuminati in university. It was so bad that people wouldn't want to get up and pee. I don't remember thing one of the rules, just that it induced the most severe paranoia, more than Diplomacy, at which I was actually (technically) cheating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do believe it was something the software was supposed to tell me about, but damned if I know exactly what happened. So annoyed!
Is 5 pieces of regular paper per ounce the actual rule of thumb, or did I make that up? To top things off, I'm almost out of stamps, and have no idea how I would get to a post office. I wonder what the mailroom at work can do for me?
GRRRRR.

Our wings are not tired.
Jesse, that massively sucks. I am sorry.

OK, am taking deep breaths now. And remembering that I can be in a Turkish bath in just over a week....
Also, Jen, I voted for your roommate, and not only because we have the same Le Crueset!

I was hoping that this would be a quiet week at the office. But then today happened, and now I would like to resign from adulthood, please.

Apparently a lycanthrope is someone who (because they're mentally ill) thinks they're a werewolf, and a doppleganger is a ghostly double.
This is so wrong. Lycanthrope = werewolf. The question there would be whether the person was correct or delusional. A doppleganger doesn't have to be ghostly. In literary criticism, at least, it is merely a double, frequently one exhibiting opposite personality traits. William Wilson, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Picture of Dorian Gray are all considered uses of the doppleganger.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am with Ginger.
f curse, i am pretty sure my introduction to the word doppelganger was Flowers in the Attic.
Never let it be said that bad fiction doesn't teach you anything.
