[QUOTE=SpazCat] Thanks for reminding me about Dave’s ESL Cafe, **Haze**. I need to add that to my favorites. [/QUOTE] Those forums make me want to cry a lot of the time. They’re supposed to be ENGLISH TEACHERS, and yet the stupidity levels there are alarming. Just confirms my prejudice that most foreign ESL teachers in Korea are idiots. I forgot: > **[Beam Pipe](https://xkcd.com/)** Order of the Stick Perry Bible Fellowship comics Extreme Punctuation > [@McUne](#): > > And of course a couple of sites I shouldn’t mention. 😛 I’ll freely admit to reading [literotica.org](http://literotica.org). It’s hard to find GOOD writing there though. Most of what I find amuses rather than arouses me. ---

**McUne** & **Haze** that sounds like an interesting site. Goodvibes used to have a section on their website for hot stories, but alas it got taken down. I wonder if they finally realized that they put the same stories on the site that they were trying to sell in books… ---

I’ve sent Dave’s ESL cafe to Lilbro, who is in 5th grade for English at the official language school (5th year is the highest, your “pass” certificate actually counts as a TOESL degree in Spain). Hopefully he’ll find some of the student’s resources helpful! ETA: why am I getting religion-related ads? If google starts trying to give me copies of the Lighthouse I’ll yell! ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] We should meet in [here](http://host1.jsettlers.org/index.html) and play sometime. [/QUOTE] I’ve never played online. Meeting up to play sounds like fun…I don’t want to risk loading the site at work though. 😉 We usually play the old fashioned way–on the board. The expansions and related games are fun too. ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] Those forums make me want to cry a lot of the time. They’re supposed to be ENGLISH TEACHERS, and yet the stupidity levels there are alarming. Just confirms my prejudice that most foreign ESL teachers in Korea are idiots. [/QUOTE] Just 'cause you’re a teacher doesn’t mean you know anything. Let me introduce you to some of the nuts that passed through the English bullpen last year: the crazy old lady who threw a basketball at her 8 a.m. class until she hit a girl in the face and was told to stop; the geeky gamer guy who turned out to be a stalker-rapist; the functional alcoholic who ended up killing his cousin in a car wreck; and me who was having so many personal problems that my teaching sucked monkeys. Just for fun, here’s a list of all the webcomics I check daily/weekly (the ones that haven’t been mentioned already) [Married to the Sea](http://www.marriedtothesea.com/index.php) [Natalie Dee](http://www.nataliedee.com/index.php) [Toothpaste for Dinner](http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/) [Turtle vs. Bunny](http://turtlevsbunny.com/) [Edible Dirt](http://eddirt.frozenreality.co.uk/index.php) [Joe Loves Crappy Movies](http://www.digitalpimponline.com/strips.php?title=movie) [Something Positive](http://www.somethingpositive.net/) [Sinfest](http://www.sinfest.net/) [5ideways](http://www.5ideways.com/) [Friendly Hostility](http://friendlyhostility.com/) [Punch an’ Pie](http://www.punchanpie.net/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi) And no comics list would be complete without a link to [The Comics Curmudgeon](http://joshreads.com/). While you’re enjoying that, I’m going to go work on thesis notes. ---

[/QUOTE] Cities and Knights is the only one I think I haven’t played. ☹ It got bumped on the ‘to get’ list when the stopped making Starfarers. (They lost the molds used to make the pieces. No. Really. They lost them. And they aparently cost too much to replace. So, they elected to stop making the game.) ---
