I can seat about 6 in front of my 27" TV, more can sit in front on the floor. It's a decent sized living room.

I'm not in Kendall, though I used to live there. Now I'm east of U.S. 1 near Coral Reef Drive. It's still SW, though, as everything south of Flagler Street pretty much is.

Though we incorporated just a few weeks ago, I guess I now live in Palmetto Bay. It used to be just SW Dade County.

Smeagol is supreme... Smeagol has donen it. Got hisself another precious. Can't believe that I still can't do that spamming right. Talk about alerting everybody to my sneak... Oh, well, doesn't matter. Smeagol dance of victory.

Got up to Stage XII, Atomic - Modern. There are two stages left, Stage XIII, Digital Age, and Stage XIV, Nano Age (I miscounted earlier!)

You did it, you old sneak!

You had it before any of us were out the door!

I know what it is, but I never played it! Used to play some of the early derivatives of Nethack on our old 8088 PC though...

Yep, that's where I got started. Used to just be called Hack, and there was another similar one that began with an M but that I can't recall...though it seems like it MIGHT have been Moria!

The original version we had ran from two 5.25" floppies, one in each drive, and in spite of being primitive graphics (ASCII characters, as is the current version, actually), still ran incredibly slowly, especially on levels with lots of beasties. You could tell when a hoard of orcs approached, as the system would slow to a crawl!

Well... I'll play the board game, but I won't play the computer game. Though the graphics are really neat.

Go hang your head in shame!.... Your sneak started when it had been long "won" - whatever "winning" is!

That's a beautiful area!!

My best friend is house hunting in that area now, but hasn't had any luck. Chances are, she'll end up far west over by Country Walk. More bang for your buck there than in anything east of US1. Palmetto Bay especially has gotten real expensive.

That's because I wrote the book on how to sneak. This hi-tech spam sneaking is another matter though. I'm going to have to practice using my mouse.

I think it makes a good basis for a novel! Remember, there are no original plots any more... what makes a novel memorable are the quality of the writing, and the characters (IMHO).

Well...we'll see. Maybe I'll sit down in the next day or so and write down a synopsis. I guess I might as well jump in. Cheesiness is kinda the point of that challenge, right? I can do cheesy...
