With all the picture posts I made in that game, I hope it's been placed in an art museum.

I feel naked without my avatar. I've been hiding behind mine for years.

I sort of know what you mean. I'm getting tired of seeing my Mr. Angry Pants pic. The rest of you went for happy, nonchalant, or mysterious. I'm like that one thing on Sesame Street that's not like the others.

Still, it's neat to see what all of you look like!

I'm in like Flint, yo.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Golden is, after all, a coward.

Wait, Spacedaisy is Llama and MetalMarsh's secret love child? This game just went to the next level!

I'll be off the grid from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon but then we've got a picnic Saturday night. So the earliest I will check in is probably Saturday afternoon if we can get my daughter down for a nap. We're still lacking the final player needed to get things rolling, so maybe it'll work in my favor. Who knows.

Erf. I'm going to be AWOL for most of the July 4th weekend, beginning Thursday night. What are the odds of starting the game after the holiday?

Oh I have to agree. I get an almost sinister tone out of it- quite delicious. I could listen to the long version all day.

Few under the age of 30 will understand this but here goes:

That's the beauty of being someone who likes both oatmeal-raisin and chocolate chip cookies- you are never disappointed.

I would love to! I could also host a cookie theme, For example, the mafia would be oatmeal cookies because they taste gross and make you poop.

Oatmeal-raisin cookies are my favorite kind of cookie.

Well, it's a series, but it's not on TV. But it got nominated for Best Comedy Series at the Emmy's (which hand out awards for TV shows). So the answer is: maybe?

Golden wrote:Why stop at taking your hat off?

This!

In the words of Ahnahld Schwarzenegger, don't be such a girly man! Besides, the fewer women there are playing, the easier it will be to find a female mafia member. We're still in sign-ups but I've already got my eye on you Marmot Man.

She takes after her favorite hockey team- puts up a good front but under-performs? :P

That could also be said about my favorite hockey team too though.

Sorry my shoulders aren't 100% in the picture. I have very broad shoulders and the 150x150 restriction on avatars would have required my face to be smaller and thereby less intimidating had not cropped them partially out.

Doggone it people! I need a break but you and your silly pictures pull me back in.

Let's do this thing.

Full disclosure- do not expect my participation to match that of Biblical or Econ. I'm a busy boy at work these days.

Still so tempted to sign up for this.

of course this game would be next! I need to take a break but I really want to play this game.
