Morning all. Last night my son pulled out a game he bought called Munchkins. It was hysterical. I'll let you guys find it online.

Fantastically funny...

You've played it?

i found one from Steve Jackson games... Steve Jackson was in college with me at Rice U., and lived around the corner from me... he founded his game company after Rice, and had a lot of trouble from the government when he designed a game called "Hackers" (iirc)... finally the whole thing was settled in his favor after years of problems...

Glad to see he is still in business.

My daughter has one from Steve Jackson Games called SPANC (Space Pirate amazon Ninja Catgirls)

. Her boyfriend bought it for her. It's very funny. They have had me play it with them a couple of times.

I was at the game store a couple of months ago. There were several Steve Jackson Game titles in stock.

Hurt my index finger doing yard work yesterday. It's starting to blow up like a balloon

Your yard is blowing up like a balloon? Is there a balloon in it? Helium in the lawn?

That's because of your beak.

A beak like this puts me on top of the pecking-order though.

His index-finger was airlifted to the nearest hospital, and is now in intensive care on life support. The Doctors say that it will be touch and go, and the finger could suffer longterm mental effects.

He probably broke it. He's a big boy, he'll tough it out.

Back from the ER. It is a puncture wound approximately 3/8 in deep just below the knuckle joint running roughly parallel to the bone. Infection had already set in and was spreading to the hand

X-rays were taken to verify no plant material remained in the wound.
I have now had a tetanus shot in the arm and an antibiotic shot someplace else. Both locations and the finger hurt. I was told by 3 people in the ER that I should not have waited until today. What do I know, I'm an engineer not a doctor

I also have 2 prescriptions to take.

That's the last time I work in the yard without work gloves.

Oh, they are calling the puncture wound cellulitis. That's a new term for me.

Hell yeah! Post that puppy! If we can look at a certain member's toes en nastiness extremis we can see a good old fashioned digital cellulitis.

Well, that's an unpleasant little infection, then. Good thing it's been taken care of.

I dragged my butt out of bed at 5 am to get to the airport in time to get through everything to get on my 830 flight on time only to find out it's been delayed to 950.
