Shh... You weren't supposed to notice. And if that is throwing you off, dont look at my zebra banana hammock. :cool2:

Lol - that expression always cracks me up.

Relatedly, the most useless item one can purchase for the kitchen - an actual banana hammock.

In New England, how can you not? It's insane how many Dunkin' Donuts they have up there. There are small towns of like 3,000 or 4,000 people in Connecticut and Massachusetts that have TWO Dunkin' Donuts.

I will always hate Krispy Kreme b/c a gym I went to for a year had a KK in the parking lot. That was the worst - feel great about yourself after a tough workout and walk right into temptation and air that smells like fried dough.

Last month I watched a documentary on it on Hulu. It was pretty sad. I'm all for people having hobbies and there is nothing inherently wrong with Dungeons & Dragons, but these people's lives were ENTIRELY consumed by it.

Not a particularly good documentary, but good for some mindless entertainment and ultimately made me feel much better about my minor problems. :)

There was a really good (by that I mean really bad) TV movie churned out in the early 80s warning people about the dangers of playing D&D called Mazes And Monsters. Its so bad its amusing partially because a young Tom Hanks plays a person who cannot distinguish between the game and real life.

Apparently back in 1985, it was thought D&D was this evil thing that was causing kids to kill themselves. Just goes to show things stay the same (video games today) more than they change.

I always thought the most dangerous side effect of playing D&D was a stifled sex life. Apparently, it's deadly...

Oh yeah for a year or so it was a popular thing for parent-teachers-psychologist to wonder aloud if the game was harmful to children. I never played it so I made it out of the 80s just fine. Whew, dodged that bullet.

I hate the mother in that 60-Minute piece saying her boy was socially well adjusted and very smart.

No, he wasn't. He killed himself b/c of a fake curse.

US Women just took a 2 goal lead with about 15 left in regulation. Lauren Cheney and Rachel Buehler with the goals.
