I wanted to name a cocktail Tequila Mockingbird, but no one would let me

To Kill a Mockingbird was pretty good.

That was middle school for me.

I was assigned To Kill a Mockingbird in something like 4 different english classes. I never actually read it, but by the fourth time through I was pretty damn good at pretending to have.

That's lame. They should've let you.

Oh - and I totally thought of that!

They were always infringing upon my creativity!

I latter found out that there is a card in Munchkin that has the name also, but I still claim total and absolute ownership of it. Even though i don't have a shred of evidence to back it up!

Yes, from a Steve Jackson game called Munchkin. if you haven't played it, and enjoy stuff like D & D, I highly recommend it.

Ok, if you like fantasy settings, and have no issues playing a game with friends that you are as likely to help each other as stab each other in the back, and wanna play a card game that has you in fits of laughter, play it

At the end of this year we had to read a book called Snow in August. It pissed me off. It was a good story up until the last chapter... then boom! deus ex machina.

Ruined the whole damn thing.

That reminds me, Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson was also a crummy required read.

I'll second the Munchkin game suggestion. It's good!

Topics change very quickly. It can very quickly become the right topic-and just as quickly become the wrong topic again.

Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.
