I’m trying to view this in the 5.2.7.2 revision of the flock web browser and the background looks kinda wierd. I think you should check that out.

Is what I drive. It’s groovy.

I totally have to get myself a Deathstar. I fear that my kids will “play” with it and it will look like what happened at the end of IV.

Get that Death Star!

I’ve built it, along with the Star Destroyer, AT-ST, AT-AT, and my personal favorite, the Millineum Falcon from the same series. The latter is not for the feint of heart. It only took two days to build that Death Star, but the Falcon took a few weeks. If I think about it, I’ll email you the photo I took of all of them, minus the destroyer on our dining room table.

The Chuck E Cheese in the town I grew up in was the best. It was originally a different business along the same lines. It had a separate (as in separated by an actual wall) area for the stage that was a bit higher up than the play area. The tables against the wall had a window that would look down at the play area then. Also, this Chuck E Cheese had actual games instead of just ticket games. Stuff like the TMNT arcade game, Simpsons game, and some futuristic motorcycle game (a favorite of mine).

Compare that to the Chuck E Cheese near my sister now. 3/4 of the games are ticket games, the other 1/4 are racing games. They need to bring back the actual arcade games and they can increase the age range they cater to.

I found this joke when I was searching for some quick one liners to entertain my guild mates. I thought it would entertain you

F16 vs. C-130

A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by.
The jet jockey decided to show off.
The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, ‘watch this!’ and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier.
The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that?
The C-130 pilot said, ‘That was impressive, but watch this!’
The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said: ‘What did you think of that?’
Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, ‘What the heck did you do?’
The C-130 pilot chuckled. ‘I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, took a leak, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.’

When you are young & foolish – speed & flash may seem a good thing !!!

When you get older & smarter – comfort & dull is not such a bad thing !!!

You said “She”. Can’t wait to hear more about “She”.

Star Wars Lego are super cool. My 11 yr old still digs Lego. Until/Unless Mom and Dad splurge for the “big” Millenium Falcon, Star Destroyer or Death Star, I just get to admire his X-Wing, smaller Falcon, and a B-Wing. But he’s got Mindstorms and Technic sets now that are totally awesome. Just wait until he’s old enough to do Lego League. That’s fun to watch.

He’s been watching a lot of Top Gear with me and the increasing levels of testosterone are directing him to super cars. So this Christmas he wanted one of the Lego Ferrari or Lamborghini sets. We got him the Lamborghini Gallardo. He was in heaven.

I loved going to Chuck E. Cheese’s when I was <10 years old. I'd tell you not to hate on it but I'm probably looking at the memories through feet-thick nostalgia goggles.

Still avoiding Bed, Bath & Beyond? I bet you could find a tablecloth at Kohl’s. Unless you’re avoiding them, too.

Grats on acceptance, man! It’s soooo good to finally hear you say that word in relation to that subject. Gimmlette is right, though, that from time to time you’ll slip back a notch. The good news (and I’m sure this probably isn’t news to you) is that the elapsed time between slips will tend to increase asymptotically approaching infinity.

As Disney used to say “Keep moving forward!”

I’ve found Hot Topic to be a great place to get Yoshi and other video-game related apparel. I bet if you buy online you won’t even have to interact with the multiple-pierced scary staff members that usually work there.

My husband has the Death Star, Star Destroyer, AT-ST walker (full size), and AT-AT walker. They are amazingly cool and complicated. Unfortunately we have no where to display the things when put together and besides the kids would probably destroy them so they are in boxes til they are a little older. We still play with “regular” legos though.

Chuck E. Cheese used to be “better” or.. maybe it’s because my kids were little and just enjoyed the robotic show and pizza, and the little ball pit/climby thing and ignored the rampant ticket-money-sink games. We like stuff like Magic Mountain now with goofy golf, go-karts, video games and laser tag. Too bad I have to take out a mortgage on my house to afford a birthday party there. >.<
