It just occurred to me that Majuular could make an absolute feast out of The Residents' Bad Day on the Midway, a CD-ROM "game" that grabbed my imagination and wouldn't let go back in '95

I was given a copy of the AD&D Fiend Folio (1981) way too early as a kid (it was on sale at Toys "R" Us! orange price tag on the cover and all!) and this illustration (something called a "tirapheg") scared the absolute daylights out of me

it is very funny to see slow-paced, trial-and-error ad infinitum text adventures like Deadline, Time Zone, and Kabul Spy (all from 1982) in the HOT RACK

sadly, I think "alphabet breakfast cereal" is no longer a thing, so this recipe from the Sesame Street Cookbook is firmly a thing of the past

this was *incredibly* funny and I hope it makes the highlight reel so I can see the expression on her face again
Hilarious sequence of events during the Fleet game tonight.
Compher on Toronto rung up for hooking. She serves her two minutes. Just as she's leaving, Boston is coming up the ice along the box-side boards. She *immediately* interferes with a Fleet skater.
Whistle blows, she turns right around.

the impression that I got from my high school German textbook was that I would be spending a lot more time in hostels than I actually have to date
