Damn, missed **kat** ’s lemon drops – unlike some people who post all through the night, I log off occasionally. Oh well, maybe she’ll be back with some peppermint ice cream later. It’s that time of year … I’ve gotta hit the supermarket. (God, I really do use a lot of dashes and elipses, don’t I?) > [@Justin\_Credible](#): > > Yeah, I think they got lost…oh well. Are you having fun, Twicks? I’d be having more fun if this were a more active game. ☹ Wonder if it’s just the time of year or what, usually this game gets a lot more posts than this. Congrats on the job, **Santo** – these days getting a job at all is cause for celebration – getting one you’re excited about is phenomenal. ---

> [@Justin\_Credible](#): > > Did you get to blow a lot of stuff up in the interview? No, but I did get to check out some pretty awesome high velocity BB guns (like Mach 5 high velocity, aka hypersonic). Thanks, **twicks** , I appreciate it. Hope you didn’t miss me, I just got back from the bathroom. You might not want to go in there for awhile. ---

Well, I have no clue on the remaining players. Maybe the Squid does. ---

So… Santo Rugger seems fairly excited in all of hist posts, but that doesn’t seem lke enough. Rysto’s odd, but nothing recognizably consistent. I gots nothing on twickster. ---

Oh well, maybe she’ll be back with some peppermint ice cream later. Okay, in honor of **twickster** , anyone who posts at least twice in the next 24 hours gets peppermint ice cream! (That should give her time, if she already had to log off for the day.) (I’ll be back to hand it out tomorrow night.) ---

I gots nothing on twickster. You’d be excited too if you rode in a Mach 1 on the way home today. I’m not a Ford guy, but those suckers are so light they’re -almost- as cool as my Charger. Gotta drive fast, though, so you can be sure to get there on time! ---

> [@Justin\_Credible](#): > > Well, I have no clue on the remaining players. Maybe the Squid does. Alright, no-one got my esoteric reference, but since it’s so aggrivating, I’ll give it to you anyway: **I don’t have to tell a story from my excessively teenage-like past** , though I suspect that hasn’t shocked anyone. Now then: now that I’ve moved Hi! Neighbor into a bullet doge pose, I"ll just take Rysto and cock his fingers like this…and, no, I will not give the mods any more cookies. Sorry. I’m running out of herring and the black wine I brought is only keeping up my Necrotic powers for so long. ---

I’ve seen better guessing on a TV game show. Like, I dunno “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” or any of the other ones that have titles in the form of a question. Okay – where’s my ice cream? 😃 ---

_passes out peppermint ice cream to **Santo Rugger** and **twickster** _ Sorry, **pedescribe** , you only posted once, so you didn’t meet the criteria. _checks her notes, slips **Santo** an extra bowl of ice cream_ Oh, and I just made a batch of peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Those’ll be the next freebie, for any player who posts in the next 24 hours. ---

Okay: New rule (which used to be an old rule, actually): If the hosts haven’t gotten all of the quirks by Monday at 11:59 PM, the partygoers automatically win. Now let’s see the game stay dead. 🙂 ---

Psh, yeah right. You’re about as normal as a four fingered cartoon…uh, I mean a four pawed cat…maybe you have a point. I am not about to dangerously plumb those depths. Is the snack bar still open? I figured they’d have thrown us out, but it looks like someone’s taken pity on us. Dibs on the Fig Newtons! You can get the boring ice cream.
