**seethes with envy**
I haven’t – but I’ve bought a T-shirt and a mug from their gift shop catalogue.
I loves me some Diet Dr Pepper.

what happened to 4 ? It’s always been 10-2 and 4.

It was a test to separate the Peppers from the wannabes.
You passed.

For a while, I was telling people to try Psychonauts in every thread about what games are good. I worried once about providing so many different links to it, and started only linking the Wikipedia article.
I’ve since stopped doing even that. Not really out of fear of being perceived as shilling, but because the good games threads have been more specific lately. Most people want current-gen games, at the very least.

Maybe it’s really 10-2-4…and 7!
There you get 7 up! Coincidence? I don’t think so…see my new novel _In the Belly of the Beast: My Time at the Dr Pepper Museum_.
I believe it will be carried by the fine people at..ummm…local garage sales.

Seriously? The Dr Pepper museum is almost the only thing interesting to do in Waco. I had friends that had moved there. We did a lot of stuff. That was the only thing I remember fondly.
