I know people who are younger than our little group.  Stunning.

Anyway, I'd like to do something interesting for the Anniversary: maybe a contest or a drawing for a game or something else interesting.  Any ideas?

I don't understand this comment: "I know people who are younger than our little group.  Stunning."

Given it's 4 years, how about a contest to with a 4th of gmsnpr's game collection. You just pay for shipping and handling!

That disqualifies me...I can't afford to ship 1/4 of gmsnpr's collection.  ;)

Happy b-day, CCU!

If I set the handling charges, we could do that.

Maybe we have a contest for or a tournament of a "four" game: a game with a prominent "4" or "Four" in the title, like Resident Evil 4, or 4x4 Evolution, etc.  Or maybe all of the over-21 crowd tries to get a 0.4% BAC, or we all cut off a toe.  I'm just spitballing here.:D

It's too bad I'm not rolling up on 4000 games. I could try to buy #4000 on the Anniversary. Maybe I'll get to 5k by next year.

As for a Street Fighter IV Tournament: that's not a bad idea. If members don't have the game (as in my case) it's definitely popular enough to rent in a lot of places on either format.

Or maybe all of the over-21 crowd tries to get a 0.4% BAC, gmsnpr

^Tries to get .04 BAC? I'd have to cut back a little, not sure I could do that.aspro73

I had to google BAC to figure out what you guys were talking about. Does that make me a square?

I'd love to be part of a SFIV tourney! Unfortunately I would need the game first... and a system to play it on. I'm not much of a game collector am I? :P

Blood Alcohol Content. I don't have SF IV either (or L4D), but I can try to rent them.

Getting hit by a car last week took me away from the internet for a bit.  So did the drugs that I took to feel a little less broken.  Sorry I had to miss the big day after bringing it up in the first place, but now I'm back.  Yay for four more years!!

That was annoying the crap out of me until I turned off the WYSIWYG editor. I can double space to my heart's content now. And here's to four more years as well.

My wife and I are feeling a lot better.  Neither of us were cut up or anything, but whiplash suuuucks, as do the muscle relaxers I took while my back mended.  I couldn't concentrate for more than 10 seconds, and so I had to quit taking them to be effective at work.  I just gritted my teeth and waited for my muscles to heal for several days after the accident.  Our car has $2200 in repairs to restore it to a pre-collision state, which will mean a week in a body shop.  We'll get a rental from the other driver's insurance, since we only have one car between the two of us.  Happier times are ahead, no doubt.

I like cars fine; I'm just not fond of people hitting mine with theirs. 

A couple of years ago, I doofus backed into me in a mall parking lot while I was at a dead stop and I let him go w/o a police report, b/c I am a nice guy and I didn't know any better at the time.  That was a mistake that ultimately cost me $700, since his insurance had it on good authority (his) that I was at least mostly responsible for the accident.  This time it was handled properly.  After the collision, I made sure nobody was bleeding out and immediately called 911.  Police reports are a necessity when trying to assign liability, so don't forget, kids.

I've also been the victim of a hit-and-run.  Somebody crushed in my bumper and drove away a couple of months after the doofus incident, so my car has had its share of literal run-ins with other cars.
