I Had a Frightmare! – Bil Keane (Family Circus)
Read the reviews. insane.
dangit… landlord came by, totally unexpectedly… to finish the air conditioning/wall repairs. So, no AC or privacy for the next couple of hours…but I know he’ll be out of here by sundown.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
has gigantic sebaceous glands
Chicken neck, big bug-eyes
Chirps just like a cricket’s thighs
Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man
Smokes a bong? Chocolate mud.
Doesn’t talk like Elmer Fudd
Does he live, in a shed?
Wears a hat on his head
Watch out! Here comes the Spider-Man!
He gets chilled in the light,
deseeding a lime
streaking at night
naked and brown
Spider-Man, Singing glam,
Emails folks lots of spam
Width and length, two by four
His Aunt May gives him chores
Filling his pitcher of Tang-up
Wherever there’s a gang-up
You’ll find the Spider-man!

just got a new patch for age of kings / conquerers. looks like it fixes a few scripting bugs…waiting to install it (want to make sure my partner player is going to get it first…only one person I really want to play with, need to keep compatible.)
Note: Microsoft Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion 1.0C is an update of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion 1.0. The installation of patch 1.0B is not necessary as this patch contains the same enhancements and bug fixes. Patch 1.0C also fixes mini map trainer issues with Age of Kings The Conquerors.
Patch 1.0C will not install correctly if you have previous installed a WAREZ version of the game, the CD Hack or any trainers. You must delete and install the Conquerors for the patch to work correctly.
Known Issues with Patch 1.0C – Readme file is from version 1.0B. (the Same install and de-install instructions from Patch 1.0B still apply).
