It's called Boxing Day because:

(a) people punch each other's lights out in payback for lousy gifts
(b) people put their unwanted gifts back in boxes to return to the store
(c) it honors the memory of someone named Jim Q. Boxing, Jr.
(d) none of the above

Mine was good. Lazy and quiet, how I like it.

Also, today in the mail I got a Christmas card...for the previous occupant of the apartment.

Congratulations on 2 kiloposts, Emuz

According to the 'pedia, at one time supervisors/bosses in Britain would give gift boxes to their employees on December 26th (presumably because they were closed on the 25th).

Yeah, and I only posted because of that dream I had. So blame my subconscious.

Let's see. In my dream, work was starting up extremely early, even though we didn't have our work schedules and the students hadn't even started class yet. My boss was trying to make sure nobody left, but I escaped while she was distracted and ran down the street while singing a rap about FF6 characters.

Someone needs to create a Unix clone with a polar bear mascot.

Are you siding with Lili on this?

Nah. I like both polar bears and penguins. But there's already a Unix clone with a penguin logo.

Time to throw another cake~ *throws one at Anya, followed by 33 more*

Forget candles. One's age is the number of actual cakes.

Have a good one!

I think we could use some kind of project to bring in users. Jul has TCRF, but we don't have anything like that to attach to the board.

Yet.

The world moves too fast.

Yes, that is what's on my mind.

I don't typically keep up with the gaming world, but I really like A Link Between Worlds. It's so nice to see a new 2D Zelda game that doesn't suffer from controls so gimmicky that I find them unusable.

I'm playing what Gywall's been playing

Also some Oracle of Ages on the side. I got the Green Ring for the first time in my life (and I've played the Oracles maybe 20 times by now).

Granted, but you type worse on a keyboard.

I wish the world would slow down.

Bayonetta's minipic is reminding me of a store near Buffalo called "84 Lumber". I wonder what happened to 1 through 83.

The board looks weird without the Christmas scheme.

Located 20 mi (32 km) south of “Steel town” Pittsburgh, 84 Lumber established its roots in Eighty Four Pennsylvania, a rural community that has endured as a farmland community.

---

Basically they sold the first 83 for crack...

---

Wouldn't surprise me, given how bad the drug problem is in many rural areas. I guess because there isn't much else to do.

Happy 2014

Me, I want to stop being single.

Seems that those "glasses computers" would have major problems with focusing one's eyes on them. And what about people who already have glasses? I know Google is developing them as we speak but it seems the technology won't work.

You reach 8-5, of course

When I was younger, I actually made a hack that put a flag in 8-4, so that you had to go to 8-5 (which was some underwater version of a castle) to beat the game.

Set it to 1 so you can look at each post separately. You might end up with a lot of page links, though.

I remember old boards that always did this. I'd never join them, because waiting for every post to load individually was so painful.

44 and actually sunny.

I've heard that pretty much the whole Eastern Time Zone is having insane cold and shitloads of snow. Even places like Georgia and Alabama. That must be hella rough.
