I accept challenges.

Note, don't even bother with "juggling", "playing the piano", "performing a cross over dribble", "playing the Wii with the nunchuck"...

But what you could do with your other skills is be a zombie next Halloween and make a pasta or baked prosthetic filled marinara that you or someone else could munch on and horrify people.

You can't say "Guess who has two thumbs and really likes cheese?" and gesture to yourself with your thumbs.

You know, I always thought you exaggerated when you talked about all the shit your sister does wrong, Luke. But now that I know she's trying to raise her kids gluten free I can see that she's truly a monster.

...could munch on and horrify people.

No prosthetic needed. When I played high school football at Polk High I once scored four...wait wait..When I played high school football "Hand to God" I would pretend to gnaw on my "hand" at the scrimmage line at it would flip our opponents out.

You can't say "Guess who has two thumbs and really likes cheese?" and gesture to yourself with your thumbs.

I can when I borrow a friends hand. No one said they have to be YOUR thumbs. That said, I don't want to be the guy who does the "Guess who has two thumbs..." jokes. Lame.

She's a vegan and signed an online petition for Chick-Fil-A to stop using antibiotics. Her two year old has an Ipad, and an Iphone too, I think. She also struggles to understand why her kids won't eat cheese that I think is called "sheese".

Maybe round two is a cage match with the applicant's family in timed peril to provide impetus to get the fighting done.

Cage match! I like where this is going. Luke were gonna have to work on your promos and costume before you get in the ring and wrestle for this new job. Everyone here can be the equivalent of your little hulksters.

List Of Things You Can't Do When You Have One Hand
written by Luke


1) Work as a chef at Benihana's without people being very confused.

2) Give the middle finger with both hands at once.

3) Do either the "This is the church, here is the steeple..." or the "Watch, I can magically remove my thumb" gestures without making children scream.

...and that's about all I can think of.

I never thought about it before but when I look at your "Games Beaten" list while imagining that you type everything at an average (or above) WPM, you're basically my hero now.

After getting the excuse "I tried to call you" from a friend, I posted this on fb:

'Either my smart phone is really stupid, or some of the people I know are. Nothing like the excuse "I tried to call you".

It is quite simple, you dial my number, my phone rings or lets me know you called.

But it is possible that crippling arthritis has prevented some to dial all the numbers, or maybe some just give up after dialing in the area code and don't have the strength to press every digit. "I tried to call you...but I gave up" is a much better excuse.'


Let the Backlash begin!

...and snap! As I am typing this post I have already received two notifications!

I'll get to that in a second...

My wife was in bed by 9:30-something, so my pal Pringles stopped over with a bottle of crown (I didn't drink), a belly of laughs, and a hankering to beat Hyperstone Heist...which we did.

(edit* 9:37pm. Party hard)

I knew it was going to be a fun night as soon as I chose Leo and he said "Ah-ha! I will be your polar opposite, Raphael!" And when I said, "Okay, I'll get top and left, you get bottom and right" he replied with "Oh, so that's the plan from our fearless leader". Of course I said "I never said I was your leader" and of course he followed with "Well you sure do act like it some times".

Good times.

edit* Krang always seems to get away in every tmtn game doesn't he?

That's a weird-ass interview.

I've been up against a firing squad before, but you could feel the tension in the room.

Well, yeah, I can understand a firing squad of a bunch of interviewers with a single interviewee having to defend his resume. It's the pitting the candidates so directly against each other that seems so weird to me.

And now, Katniss, tell us all why you think you are a better candidate than Luke.

In the past two days worked two shifts at Typhoon Lagoon, totally 18.5 hours (counting a half-hour for lunch each day), with yesterday's starting at 9am (I'm usually waking up around that time and getting out of bed around 10-11am ) and today's at 9:30. So tired and I'm not off again until Wednesday, though thankfully my next three shifts are only 6-hour shifts.

We have to be out of the motel by tomorrow night (we basically can't be here Monday morning).

Because it's such a busy weekend pretty much every motel is booked...

AND WHY IS IT SO MOTHERFUCKING HARD TO FIND A GODDAMN HOUSE?????????? It's mostly the same bullshit about how we don't make enough money, it's too expensive, and so on!

Discovered a site that lets you know when eBooks on such sites as Amazon, B&N and such are either heavily discounted or flat-out free and scored over 40 eBooks so far.

Paper Dungeon is out today, and I got a Desura key from a bundle some time ago. Since about January I've been killing it on the bundles and deeply-discounted game front. My Steam games list has ballooned to almost a hundred games!
