    - My character had a guitar attack when I hit Y. It was only after one hit killed me that I realized I was using health every time I hit Y. -- nm - David May 12, 08:47

    - that's pretty cool. -- nm - mud May 12, 08:29 3
      - Especially with the year ending in e-learning. He is strugling in some of his classes. That may have added to the trombone decision. He loves playing - Spawn May 12, 08:32 2
        
        I think in general its a shift when they start making their own decisions instead of listening to what the parents *think* or influence - Pippy - Mountain Flower May 12, 08:39 1
        
        Yeah, when he started playing he mentioned marching band in HS. That was why this one kind of hurt. No point in trying to force him on this, though. - Spawn May 12, 08:50

  - he is accusing Joe Scarbourgh of being a murderer in some FL cold case. -- nm - Jovian May 12, 08:02 6
    - it's not even a cold case. A woman in his office in FL had a heart defect, passed out and hit her head and died. Scarbourgh was in DC at the time -- nm - decline May 12, 08:08 5
      - lol I should have figured it wasnt. #45 was the one saying it was a cold case. How isnt this libelous? -- nm - Jovian May 12, 08:15 2
        
        probably is. but no one will do fuck all about it. -- nm - Pippy - Mountain Flower May 12, 08:16 1

Man, if baseball does the East / Central / West routine, the Orioles might not win 20 games. - Will Hunting May 12, 07:51 6
