My wife says there is a correlation among MEN -- HOBBIES -- INSANITY. She just hasn't figured out what is disease and what is symptom yet.

That usually follows one of my snide remarks about the ultimate tedium of cross-stitching.

There is an old saying that insanity is hereditary...you get it from your kids or in this case your spouse.

Personally I prefer the lines from a song that says:

There ain't no redemption, no redemption
if you're stone cold sane.
Crazy, crazy, crazy
it's just another point of view.

(Heavy Flaming Oil Jet was my favorite for tailgaters. )

When was this? I haven't kept up with SJG for some years. I know at one point the Secret Service seized all their computers (can't remember if they ever even found out why), but I think this is the first I'm hearing of BSA. Especially since Steve Jackson Games produced role-playing and desktop/board games, not computer games.

After checking, you are correct. It was the Secret Service, not the BSA....at least in name.
