tsk tsk.. you're not supporting Hasbro/MB. For shame.
I prefer Twister.
That could be dangerous, I'm not as flexible as I used to be.
If you use Crisco it helps with your flexibility....

Cause they're ticket brokers, which is a fancy name for scalper which is a fancy name for crook.

actually stubhub isn't really a ticket broker....they handle tickets that customers buy and want to sell.... as for concerts...you get what people join as the golden circle..inner circle..different places call them different things....they are guaranteed the same ticket for any show...so they pick and choose shows they want to go to....and when see a opportunity they buy tickets that they will make money on......it's a legal way to scalp i suppose...but it's not a so called agency like Ace or other illegal agencies!!

look at it this way.... 1 t-shirt can buy you an entire bottle of Captain Morgan rum (the big bottle)
Where are your priorities Gary????? Although you just made me realize that I have NEVER bought a concert t-shirt!!! I have a margaritaville tank thanks to Steve..... I got a MOTM t-shirt that came with the registration.... I have a Landshark t-shirt from when I won the Landshark Party..... OMG - I don't own one single concert t-shirt...... WHAT A CHEAP A** I AM!!!!!

Well at 30-35 bucks per t-shirt...I'd say you were smart.

I'm not thinking in terms of PRIORITY.
I'm thinking in terms of SAFETY.
It's safer for everyone if I had a t-shirt instead of a bottle of Captain Morgan.

Don't waste your hard earned money on the Captain....Sailor Jerry's is better, and at 92 proof it's got more kick.

We're going to Vegas whether Jimmy shows or not. Hope to see some of you there who might be in the same boat. We're taking the weather with us and gonna have a great time regardless! Now just maybe the Flamingo might find it in it's best interest to put on a
"Wish•Jimmy•was•Here•FEST" in one of the convention room halls for all of us who booked flights & rooms. Maybe a couple of Buffett tribute bands could play....The Cheeseburgers, Tommy Rocker, maybe A1A to ease the pain. Hey... it could happen. Phins Up

Let's move on now.

Computer-generated stories for midgets. You can see why the market wasn't huge...
Actually
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprose has a rough history. Some great titles came out of that design house.
Can't leave the short people alone, can you??

Thanks, and I'm sure it's delicious, but it's probably a good idea if I never drink ANY rum.
