The key to surviving this site is to not say something which ends up as someone's tag line - Steelgrave

"their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of 'rights'...and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure." Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers

I have no idea how this is legal.


Wait for some IP Lawyers to get wind of it.  They may be able to dig up someone who has the rights and gives more than one shit about it.  :P

not our monkey, not our circus.

not our problem.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Great find B_C! O0
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Hot lead and dirty talk!

Swotl? Does it still ask for the "spin-a-wheel" DRM?

Sorry, gameleaper. I never noticed this first post. :(

I never figured out the sound issues nor some of the other technical issues some of the games had (like that missing disk prompt).

As far as I can tell, all the copy protection stuff is disabled. You will be prompted but just pressing Enter or any response should get you past it.
