Farn, this is suppose to be a happy thread. Alcohol abuse never is.

Alcohol abuse was avoided. Still, 21 people did get killed, so ... okay, sorry, bad choice.

That precious molasses didn't get turned into sweet tastey rum, that is alcohol abuse. Personally I blame your pal Hancock, that stuff never should have been in Boston in the first place.

Tsk tsk.

Just looked at it. It's very nice. My personal favorite banner will always be either Avast! or Defiance, but Tranquility looks nice, too.

This film about Michael Glatze makes one optimistic and hopeful for people who have been encouraged to consider their sexual identity as something outside of their control and who subsequently become disillusioned with themselves and begin to consider the possibility of an alternative identity. :)

I recently rediscovered roller coaster tycoon 3. How I’ve missed that game. I designed two coasters in the first park. One of them with my friend in Minneapolis via video chat. Oh the power of technology.

I found an online version of the very first computer game that I played, aged six. I introduced it to my six year old nephew and he's quite taken with it, despite his fascination with more impressive 3d CGi games and films. Nostalgia!
