Scott And The Genie
by Steve West on May 10, 2008
Scott Hardie was walking along the beach one day and discovered an old oil lamp. While rubbing the lamp a genie popped out.
The genie said in a loud voice, "I am the genie of the lamp. I am the most powerful genie in the world! I will grant you any wish you desire but you get only one wish."
After some intense thought, Scott pulled a map from his pocket and pointed to the area of the Middle East. "This area of the world is fraught with unrest. My wish is for you to bring peace to this area of the world."
The genie replied, "That area of the world has been fighting for millenia. I may be the most powerful genie in the world, but even that may be beyond my capabilities."
Scott gave it additional thought and said, "I am a programmer and gamesite developer and wish for all the players who participate in my goo game to be happy with the scoring and playoff method."
The genie replied, "Let me see that map again."

Haha, thank you! That's the way it feels sometimes. But I know everybody still enjoys it, and that's the root of the contentious discussions.
I'm growing more reluctant to change to the Super Goo system, only because I have a sinking feeling that some people aren't going to like that one either. It never ends.

Christmas Post #14: Scared Of Santa
Pretty funny site devoted to pictures of children unhappy with being seated next to Santa. The hilarious aspect for me are the expressions on the faces of the Santas who are obviously thinking of everywhere else they'd rather be than here with this screaming little turd-dropper in their lap. Poor kids. Go »Halloween Post #2: Halloween Masks, For Real

I've been to this site a few dozen times without considering linking to it. But a picture they posted really cracked me up because it, once again, reminded me of my Carolina cousins, rednecks all. Anyway the picture I'm referring to is called redneck Barbies and they remind me of a favorite pair of cousins of mine, Rodney and Looler. Go »Pass the Ketchup
