Yep. My mom always thought I was faking, and seemed genuinely pissed when she found out I was actually sick. Meanwhile, my two younger sisters always got a pass. It turns out, since I was the oldest, if I got sick then she had to do more work! Can't have her Coke, TEquila, and Xanax time interrupted can she!

SuperFriends, Dexter's Laboratory, JLU, and My Little Pony all tied in our House Gamer poll. We got a 42 year old, 36 year old, and a ten year old. It evens out all right.
Oh my GAWD! OTTER-KHAN!! He has 72 other otters in stasis in the torpedo tubes!!
What "a piece of old Seattle" really is is beyond me, as if a chunk of the metropolis had somehow collapsed into the ground below, like some strange, ingested tumor."

I am partially disabled, and flew for the first time since 9/11 to Monterey CA to suprise Mrs. Gamer at a library conference. I was amazed at how many stupid people there were at security. They were arguing about their shoes, liquids, bags everything! A whole volleyball team full of special snowflakes held up the line…
Rifftrax does this all of the time. So did Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Cinematic Titanic.
Hey TRacie! I am a writer, and a former English teacher, with a B.A. in the subject. Your article was one of the best written, tight, coherent peices I have ever read on this site. I was born in Tucson, and we all knew this place was a craphole to work at. Kudos to you!

Not in The GAMER household. I stay home with the kid, and am Captain HouseHusband for our little crew, including 2 insane cats. My wife got a promotion last year, so she works more to bring home the bacon. I fry it up in the pan. She hasn't had to touch a dish, or do a load of laundry in the last year. It works well.…
