My lunch was popcorn, a Sprite, and some kind of candy that was like Sour Punch, but called Swinkles or something.

I’d just like let you all know I’ve found the most delightful site where you can download [abandoned](http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/) software that you enjoyed in the 1980s & early 90s. Now, if only I knew how to configure my computer to play them :rolleyes:

Killin a thread is all about technique. I’m a boorish Inigo come lately.

I now lay my salad fingers upon this thread and bid it rest in peace.

**PussyCow** , if you’re going to be a proper Doper, you should note that the proper phrase is “Og save the thread”. 😉
