I’ll be sleeping if you need me.

Exactly what you’d expect from people who read Cecil Adams, people who are trying to eradicate ignorance.

Like many other people I had made definite plans to masturbate and this is interfering very seriously.

Oh, horrors. I’ve remembered what I used to do before SDMB. Tangleword. (Like Boggle, only online and multiple player.) I’m not very good, but I used to be very addicted - until this MB came into my life.

And now…well, the board isn’t closed, but I thought it was going to be, and that was enough to get me looking at old bookmarks. With this board AND Tangleword and online Tetris and Breakout, I doubt I’ll ever get anything done again.
