Not Quite 6000
Once again I fell just short of 6000 points with this board. 5994. I don’t think one gets much closer than that. The diagram is a bit deceptive; the basic pellet tower in the center of the board was a … Continue reading

Demario!
I must admit that I’m nigh unto fanboy spasms. I was disappointed at first, upon buying Madden 07 on ebay for a dollar, that Demario Minter, whom I taught in my freshman comp class at UGA in 2003, was not … Continue reading

On a whim I googled Wes Arblaster, and as of yet, he still does not have any chili peppers on his ratemyprofessors.com review.? I’m not the only one!? And my “hotness” is, for the moment, as high as Wes Heartbreaker! … Continue reading

Another Desktop Tower Defense Board

No Guitar Hero for Pot Smokers
My Favorite Ebay Posting of the Year I generally don’t post these kinds of links, but I read about it, and it’s just too funny not to.
