[QUOTE=twickster] Who else wants to get the snot knocked out of them … um, would be up for a game? [/QUOTE] Yes, it was fun! Twickster is also helpful with tips on how the game site works, as she’s [del]knocking the snot out of[/del] playing with you. Seriously, I actually GOT AHEAD for a second, there. Well, maybe a split second. A nano-second? 😛 ---

Sure. I’ll even put the time limit up to 15 minutes so y’all have time to get tangled in your undies for each move. (What’s that joke – a camel is a horse designed by a committee?) ---

Phooey, didn’t see this earlier – just finished playing for the night. Unless you have your heart set on **Mad** to administer the ass-kicking, I’ll be happy to provide one soon. ---
