I just love the weight of it, it's perfect.

Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

Yeah, that Scola doesn't know me at all.
Sadly, I cannot further investigate the intriguingly named Forbidden Planet as I am off to the ballet, but it looks like just the kind of co-operative card game I love. 3 down, 1 to go. Yay, Tom!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oooh! That's a great game! Good choice, Scola. It's very fun. I got to play a couple games with the creator.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You played board games with GOD?!?!?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have an unmarked PRESENT!!! USPS just dropped it off and I ripped into it like a meth head into a candy bar. OMG so cute gnome planter. Vintage wall planter/vase, possibly. My guess is from the 40s or 50s. Green and adorable and going right into my kitchen window to be planted with a succulant. THANK YOU mysterious gifter. I assume from here. I will now begin my sleuthing and I will have you found out by end of day. LOVE IT!
