Oops! Okay, well at least that makes more sense. I wondered why it would be cheaper for two people to do the quest than to attend the dessert party alone since the dessert party is basically at-cost already.

So it's cheaper to be two singles at the gumball rally than a duo? Not that it matters to me.

It's very nice that a charitable donation is being made. I also understand that the FestoFools area is very expensive to rent. So why rent it and why donate money to charity? There's nothing wrong with either thing, but I miss the days when these in-park games were not such a high-ticket item.

Excuse me for suspecting the profit motive behind this event. Either way, my foot tastes fine, ta very much.

As for board wars ... yeah, I will have to watch what I say. I don't have much nice to say about micechat or its founders ... and yet someone started a thread about their game here on the LoT. One of the things I appreciate about the LoT as much as the swank vibe is the ability to speak my piece.

To keep the peace, I'll squelch what I might want to say about micechat. But threads about that place here on the LoT are awfully tempting for me to say exactly what I think about that place and the people who started it.

<sigh> Some of us would love to pay to go...but alas...moving away puts a stop to that

I'm unique. Just like everyone else.

The Hot Topic Corporate Credo

I'm not going to moderate anyone for stating their opinion, but I have seen where this crap goes - or has gone in the past - and I'd like to leave that in the dust of the boards left behind. Unless we want to go through more crap.....

Eh, I'm done. I've no doubt my snarkiness will reach the eyes or ears of those to whom it is directed, and for that I will be content ... for I've kept my mouth shut about plenty, and been polite in person, and bottled up rage and sadness in good measure.

Hopefully, this tiny allowance of my snarkiness will suffice to keep me out of therapy for another few months.

Don't worry. I've caused enough grief already in the other side of the world.

I farted in the elevator at work once, and it was so foul that the janitors got out at an earlier floor than they'd originally planned.
