Crisis in Ellicott City

So I'm straightening-up in the kitchen last night when I stumble across the Survival Guide for Betrayal at the House on the Hill..

So yerbrainondrugs, you want to see your guide again? Place a bag of unmarked U.S. currency in small....

mnemoscat mentioned she might know of a store that has a copy, but my sieve like mind has already lost the information. Hopefully she'll post it here

Arch is at the theater with his latest reviews
In other news, josabry, metromancer and I saved my wife the pain of watching Spider-Man 3 on Friday. God was that bad. And it was all in the script. The acting was okay; the directing likewise, special effects pretty damn good (for my not so huge television), even the plot was largely acceptable by comic-book movie standards, but the script execution was a total disaster. Such a bad movie with such good movie postersx

** stars for some fleeting moments of enjoyment and Tobey Maguire dancing a la Saturday Night Fever and Funny Face

We also watched Meet the Robinsons on Sunday. That was a lot better than I expected. Probably due to John Lasseter (of Pixar fame) being a major contributor. The movie is more predictable than guessing what a Republican politician will wear on his jacket lapel but the execution is solid and kinda funny.

Meanwhile George Michael (no not that one) has this evening's wrestling report to go with sports

Oh and Opening Day is today, which would be more important if I didn't live/work near the Orioles. At least they gave up on Jay Gibbons. It's going to be a long hard slog for the O's, but I think they finally have really committed to rebuilding, as opposed to their half-hearted efforts of years past.

Oh and Dave W. made me an intriguing trade offer in Omega, but I don't think my team can afford it. I've not gone over the numbers yet though.

In our final news this evening
Xandrapolis continues to grow and grow. Perhaps you'd like to join the planning committee?

I'm guessing drewshi will be happy about this...

I didn't see it myself, I was too put-off by the car.

But Knight Rider is being commissioned for a series
