But, I discovered this morning that the Archives of The Image of the Day are still functional on the old page.
Anybody remember discussing statutory rape?

Well... online as in available on Steam. Not browser-based. But if you get a copy, a bunch of us could play against each other.

Mr Limey owns a copy. Anyone up for a game?

I could have time for a game in about 3 hours (8 PM Central), but that's 2:00 AM your time, so I'm guessing that's out. We could try for the Virtual Forks time slot since that worked for most everyone?

I highly recommend using a Discord server to talk live while we're playing--it's free and easy to install, then folks can just PM me their email address and I'll send an invite to the "Dwellar Board Game" channel.

Oh gosh yes I didn’t mean today 🤣
Because of Mr Limey’s shift patterns Tuesday or Saturday evenings (your time) would work best for us.
I believe Mr Limey is familiar with Discord.

Let's play something from this list:

What a steal! I'm buying it now, the whole enchilada.

The latest 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. My jaw is hurting and my eyes are stinging from laughing. ymmv, but I don't care, I needed that. Fortunately, I have learned to go pee before I watch an episode.

My Monster book came and it's PERFECT! Better than the preview... Monster gets very lonely and is in a bad dark place and then in the blink of a googly eye he finds a friend and the world is a better place I got the board book version because it was cheaper and the idea amused me

BigV · 2/22/2021 7:21 pm

I knew it was the eyes....

I got my first Pfizer shot today, and it's remarkable how it just put me in a good mood. Not right away, but I noticed as the day went on that everything just seemed good.

griff · 4/15/2021 9:07 pm

It is a weight lifted

Limey · 4/16/2021 8:17 am

I bought one of these for Mr Limey's present for our 14th wedding anniversary and it arrived today.
It is Just. Perfect!

griff · 4/16/2021 10:32 am

That's really nice!

fargon · 4/16/2021 2:39 pm

That's way nice.

All Ready for its maiden voyage tomorrow.....

Now your Kayak can find her way home.

monster · 5/19/2021 11:18 pm

River Dragon's pronoun is "it" ;)

griff · 5/20/2021 5:40 am

Ha!

Very gender neutral...for a kayak. Good on ya for not contributing to a kayak's identity crisis.

'Her' and 'she' for a boat is not derogatory, btw.

[mildly amused] But Grav, why would you think that a woman would think that "her" and "she" can be derogatory in any way at all?[/mildly amused] [/threaddrift]

5/20/2021 4:59 pm

Because it, I mean, she went to the trouble of correcting someone for doing that very thing.

monster · 5/20/2021 5:08 pm

I was having a larf...... but English does not prescribe genders to inanimate objects so neither will I

The scariest part was driving my son's car (which I did because he's in kentucky and that neatly bypasses trying to strap River Dragon to the top of a Mazda 3

The it/she thing there was a joke, btw.

Put that knife down.

while I'm driving?

I really do hate boats and cars (and guns) being called "she" but the tradition is way older than I am and doesn't really harm anyone, so I just use "it" for my own amusement No cancel culture here....
