Re: HQ thread
I got the teeth correction right, but went out before you did (I don't remember the question). You get an extra life for playing 5 days in a row. Apparently you can also purchase extra lives ($1.99 for one, $4.99 for three) although you can only use one per game.Beebs52 wrote:Went out on rollercoater. But, had xtra life George's teeth.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
