Look – just Google science fiction. You’ll find it doesn’t really resemble what you think it is.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Yes!My department is booking a team-building exercise at Escape Room (http://www.escaperoomkc.com). There's been a lot of buzz about this since it opened, but I wanted to wait to see if our team could go. Luckily, we're there. I'm doing the prison break. No black holes for me, but now that I know which scenarios are which, I'll have to do the other two later.
pacovf has a neopets account. It has 999 hours logged. All his neopets are named "Jessica". I guess that must be his ex.

We lost, by the way. The absolute nadir of the whole experience was a group of grown, mature attorneys, barred and licensed by the State of New York, telling knock-knock jokes to an inanimate refrigerator door.
Isn't that badgering the witness?
Being sick SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. I've been on vocal rest for the past few days and I haven't even gone outside since Sunday. I've also had to miss the first ever staging rehearsal of my opera scenes so I have to do a ton of catching up and fast learning and crap. GUH.
I was in a show of Once Upon a Mattress where the Minstrel (a pretty prominent role) had an inner ear infection that caused him to collapse and hit his head. This was 3 days before opening night. Rather than canceling the show, our director talked the musical director into filling in. He knew all the songs already. We had to be very liberal with him when it came to lines and choreography, though. Fortunately, the real Minstrel was able to make it for the second weekend. Kudos to the orchestra for being able to make their own way without the music director conducting.
If ive calculated correctly, this post should secure me my third star. I'm ecstatic
Mafia play advice: If you are not content with the way the game is going, always assume that it is your fault.
