While I find her close-mindedness laughable and somewhat scary, I *did* convince her to come to the website. She was thorough in her investigation and particularly objected to Stoner Fluxx, not to mention various other opinions expressed on the site that she found objectionable. I don't share her bias, but in retrospect I'm surprised that I haven't encountered it more often. It is what it is. /sigh Boing! (My way of signaling a sudden change of topic or general non sequitur) Why don't we adopt a YEAR OF TREEHOUSE program? All Rabbits and other assorted Icehouse/Looney Labs enthusiasts agree to give Treehouse sets for all our gift giving needs this year? Birthday? Christmas? St. Fnorber's Day (My own personal holiday... I take it once a year without warning)? Give Treehouse! You can give other stuff too, but add Treehouse to it. :) Any takers? -----Original Message----- From: icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Elliott C.

Many devout Pastfarians believe that since the Beer Volcano is an aspect of the heaven promised to us by the Flying Spaghetti Monster (may you be touched by his noodly appendage) that any attempt to experience this wonder on Earth (like entering a terrestrial strip club when an entire Stripper Factory awaits us in the afterlife) is a sacrilege. Does this child dress entirely in Pirate regalia? If so, he may be part of an Orthodox FSM family. Please assure his mother that it be a good game about acquisition, nefarious plotting, and the reduction of global warming; and that either no beverages at all or only good wholesome beverages like rum are consumed while playing.
