I find so many fun, waste-o-time websites in this message board, as well as random net searches. So far, some of the most addictive are (and I take no credit for bringing ANY of these to the public’s attention): [Alchohol Warnings](http://www.madblast.com/oska/humor_warnings.swf) [Miniputt](http://spyfx.clanpages.com/flash/miniputt.swf) [Reflections](http://www.input-entertainment.de/laser/) [Slime Volleyball](http://tartarus.uwa.edu.au/%7Ewedgey/slime1/index.php3) [Stick Figure Kung-Fu](http://www.desu.org/video/fight.swf) [The Way Of The Exploding Stick](http://www.evolver.co.uk/wayofthestick.html) Anyone have folders and folders of this kinda stuff to share? C’mon…pleeeeeeease? ---

[Snood](http://www.snood.com). Snood is absolutely and completely addictive. My mother, a (youngish) middle aged woman with no previous history of computer game addiction, has played about 10,000 games of it. ---

XIAO XIAO #3!!! dang, i saw that months ago… best thing EVER the first time you see it. google for “xiao xiao” and you find a ton of stuff on it. or, you can just search MPSIMS. there’s about six threads on it in there, and a couple in other forums as well. but, i have to say… that “alchohol warnings” thing had me cackling out loud… pissing off everyone else in the house, because it’s pretty late. \ “SNOOD”? bah! what you need is a heaping helping of [bejeweled](http://www.popcap.com/bejeweled.php). ---

I have a game called _Bridge Builder_. You can’t get it on the net anymore, so if you want it I will have to e-mail.(It is a small file) BTW It is an awesome game, if anyone knows where I can find something similar, please let me know. ---
