Spillane, if you don't like Achewood, maybe you should, I don't know, stop reading Achewood?

Is this a hard concept to figure out?

You finally registered! Those were some good dirt-cheap Genesees with the flavor splatters on top. You should come up again some weekend and we can play a new game I got that I'm running play-by-post in Traditional Games right now.

I think the MCP's voice works well for the command line prints, but I'm trying to figure out who I imagine reading Lee's parts.

You just reminded me about how this happened to me at that same age during my last innocent game of hide-and-seek...but it was my biological sister and a closet door. Thank you for opening up old wounds (mental wounds, not my finger wounds). This was right before I fell to my knees in extreme pain and crushed my childhood drum.

For me, it was my adopted sister and the lid of the washing machine. She had hidden something I wanted inside, and when I reached for it she slammed the heavy metal lid shut. I thought my finger was broken.

Is it some kind of phenomenon that big sisters routinely crush little brother's fingers?

I did this to my sister once with a car door. Considering she'd done the same to me a month earlier, I considered it a wash.

Whether or not it was an accident, did you cross your arms, smile smugly, and say "There. Now we're even."?

I used to drink Guinness all the time in Southern California, where generally speaking the only other decent beers you might find on tap came from the Stone Brewery in San Diego,

Huh, I never had much trouble finding good beers while I was out there visiting a friend, but then we didn't go to many bars, and one we did go to was a brewpub, and so had their own beers as well as a pretty good selection of others. But maybe you just didn't go to the right bars?

Speaking of good beers, I'm usually a stouts and porters guy, but last night I had a glass of Dragon's Milk Ale from New Holland Brewing Company. I was very pleased with it, and I recommend anyone who can find it give it a try.

I'm a little amazed someone went to the trouble to set up a Gopher server, and in such short time. Or did this exist before the Achewood strip?

I kind of hope something happens to the bus or something and Philippe stays in Achewood. I don't want the boy to remain motherless, but I can't imagine Ray or Beef or Cornelius or especially Teodor's lives without the little guy around. The world will be a little sadder.

Smaller underwear would be tighter when stretched across a coat hanger, therefore affording more firepower, not less.

If we're being all about realism up in this bitch about cartoon cats, then I want to know how they got the manufacture/handling/shipping assets and personnel ready to create all the things Philippe invented for the catalogs, or if T is just straight up conning that stupid people who ordered out of their money.

I would imagine that before Ray went into competition with Philippe, he set up all the apparatus for him. After that, the little guy only had to speak and his idea would be made form.
