Anybody ever played Chinese chess? Now there's a fun game.

... I'll stick with word finds, or Chess and Monopoly. That goes double for me! I will also add to the list Chinese checkers and oh, does anyone remember Clue, mastermind or boggle? How about Yahtzee! :-bd We didn't play a lot of Boggle in my family, but we did play Clue and Mastermind. I wasn't ev...

I've been in Florida twice for a lift off, but due to weather wasn't able to see it. Once I was in Ft. Myers, the other time on the road between Tampa and Orlando. On clear nights, you can see it go up from here at the beach, but I've never been lucky enough for a clear night. Sigh. I'll be watchin...

Those geek tees are indeed pretty funny, but they're not quite me. My current frontrunners are the following: http://teenormous.com/images/t-shirts/www.80stees.com/images-products-Red_Dawn_Wolverines-T.jpg http://www.80stees.com/products/Backhoe-Tonka-T-shirt.asp http://www.80stees.com/products/Laun...

Absolutely! I've never done the online gaming thing, but I'm totally in. I'm headed out of town for a few days this afternoon, but will holler about it when I get back.

Wilson, where are you going for your big research year? Summer/fall 2010 I'll be in Columbia, SC. I'll come back to Atlanta for the month of December (collect my thoughts, organize things, celebrate The Most Wonderful Time of the Year), then first of the year 2011, I'm off to Charleston. If I end u...

I watched the shuttle take off in July 2005. I just happened to be in the area for work, and I decided to go just on a whim. Not having planned much in advance, I of course didn't have tickets to get onto the base, but even from about four miles away, looking up the sound at the launchpad, it was on...

I think I'm going to look at apartments this week. Time for lease renewal here and I don't have to move but I want to see what else there is and then go check a few out. I don't have to move so no pressure. I'm getting ready to move back in with my mom for about eight months, beginning at the end o...

Down this way, it was Eggs Benedict, home fries, and strawberry shortcake at Mom's, followed by a quick stop at my grandparents' and then something of a nap here at home. Now I'm desperately trying to conjure enough motivation to pound out the 600 words or so I really ought to write today. It looks ...

Oh shit Wilson... You have a Wii. Shammrog has a Wii... Online play?...

I could be up for that. You got Mario Kart? That's another game I'd enjoy kicking your ass in.

Race car!! :ugeek:

I of course want the battleship.

That's just sad. It's 18:42 on a Saturday evening and I'm the only one on here. I feel so lonely. =(( I feel like such a loser. I guess I'm the only guy on here with no life. I'm just sitting at home trying to force feed my daughter mac and cheese spirals. :(( %%- As long as that doesn't beget poop...

I want Wilson to come cook for me! :) (Bjornolf, you're married w/ kids, so probably harder for you to come out to the Left Coast on a moment's notice. :D) Plus, then, I could introduce Wilson to one of my girlfriends - tall (5'11"), smart (we got our MBAs together), Scandanavian, single. ;)) Um, y...

I can't seem to make images work properly here. I'm annoyed.

Amen to colchar...I do not and will not Twitter. It strikes me as unbelievably self-indulgent, and as said above, I just don't think anyone cares a whole lot about my "160-character stream-of-consciousness bursts." It's funny, though, that I'm trying to convince myself that someday, people will care...

Is Scrabble really a board game? I mean, I know it's played on a board, but I thought that board games had to involve strategy and chance, with dice or a spinner or drawn cards. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I just never really thought of things like Scrabble as "board games". %%- I'd argue that ...

oh gosh, what a decision. The possibilities are endless. How will you get through it all? I really dunno. I've already looked at a bunch, and am not especially close to settling on one. I have work to do for much of this afternoon, so won't be doing much t-shirt research today. Will definitely keep...

Cranium is really damn fun, too. My favorite group game night choice.

Monopoly. It sucks, because I'm the only one in my house who likes it. You used to be able to play it online, probably still can. Anyways, I'm the Iron, so hands off. I got it on Wii a few months back. Found a pretty good deal on it and traded in some old stuff that I never played anyway. My brothe...
