The protagonist Frito Bugger has returned home from his epic journey and hears a knock on his door, to be met by an entourage of all sorts of ridiculous creatures including "an airborne caduceus." The leader hands Frito a mysterious bracelet and says, "I understand that you undertake quests," at which point Frito bars and locks the door and swallows the key, and contemplates taking up Scrabble.AlanKHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415873942467466303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-63369659329180954132016-11-21T00:26:08.285-07:002016-11-21T00:26:08.285-07:00I'll bet anybody $10 that the game they develo...I'll bet anybody $10 that the game they develop won't work any better than the Obamacare website (which cost billions, but still doesn't work.)<br /><br />Any takers?<br /><br />Gamergate is instructive in this regard!Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-63000005501944490692016-11-20T09:47:08.242-07:002016-11-20T09:47:08.242-07:00I remember my daughter's "flour baby"...I remember my daughter's "flour baby"--can't remember if it was middle school or high school, but in Californicate it should be elementary school to prepare her for the current stepfather or boyfriend.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-28381463693222549702016-11-20T06:28:43.415-07:002016-11-20T06:28:43.415-07:00I think the old low tech exercise they did in my s...I think the old low tech exercise they did in my sons' middle school was very effective.<br /><br />The class was divided up into pairs, a boy and a girl if possible, and each pair was responsible for taking care of a 10 pound bag of flour for a week. It had to be in the possession of one or the other for the entire week. At the end they had to turn in the bag intact.<br /><br />Duck tape was very popular as a "diaper."JLW IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058544501109588908noreply@blogger.com
