I think that the Dresden Dolls song Good Day would be appropriate....
Even if masses of drunk hordes are going to be descending on campus tonight because it is Trivarsity (annual competition between Rhodes and two other varsities. I think that the competition is who can drink the most, but there might be sport too....). Ah well, I have Lego Star Wars and Morrowind so I will be fine. :)

Shame Lego Indy didn't manage to live up to it...here's hoping Lego Batman will manage, though!
Not that I want this thread to start discussing Batman, actually. We've already got a thread for that...over in the one supposed to be about Doctor Who...
I still think that the absence of force powers will affect things badly.
Have only played the Star Wars ones. Must see if I can borrow Indy from someone.

about the bloke whose poultry escaped and he chased them down the street. He caught the hen and asked a friend to hold it while he ran down the road to catch his cock and pullet.
XXX old joke tiome overXXXXXXXX
<good philosophy topic here: do bad jokes ever die off or do they go out from the light and return each generation or so to reinfect the culture?>
I was in the tea room making a cuppa the other day and the olympic water polo was on the tv. I asked the middle-aged man also making a cuppa which of us would say the old joke.
He looked at me quizzically so I replied:"I used to play water polo, but my horse drowned."
Those jokes live on forever, in every embarrasing 21st speech every father gives. I think it's one of the laws of physics- something to do with the curving nature of space/the universe...
Even amoeba frozen in ice on pluto make those jokes.
Ground would imply that they fell through a mincing machine on the way....
