The pile of comics is affixed with a device keyed to your unique biogenetic signature. When you approach, it sends a signal… hey, wait, why am I telling you this? 😛

…then it flips the man, into the pan, the trap is set, here comes the net.

I thought it was the same Mouse Trap, but I couldn’t believe anyone else played that game. I \*loved \* that game!

I still have it.

It was an awesome game. Alas, I think my copy went the way of the do-do.

I bought a new one, some years ago. I was an only child & I make no excuses. I even have a Mr. Potato Head on my desk.

Along with a Newton’s Cradle. \*There’s \* an interesting justaposition for you.

Belive me, this thread has gotten me thinking of even more interesting juxtapositions than that. 😃

Yeah, me too. Considering what’s going on in the thread it’s not too far-fetched.

And hey, that reminds me, I did e-mail you - not regarding the massage (sorry!) but regarding something else. I think it was yesterday evening or last night, did you get it?

My home email is checked usually once, right after work. I haven’t had the opportunity to see it, if it was late yesterday.

Oh, so no, it was probably at 9 PM or so.

Hmm. Perhaps I’ll e-mail you again, re the massage. 😉

I think “holed up in the coat closet” would not be the \*exact \* reason why I’m not getting enough O2. 😃

I was here, just went out for a pack of smokes 😉

And on that note, I figure it’s about time I grabbed you and dragged you somewhere private ~ponders~ and on the way, you should grab **Anaamika** 😃
