Well, after the last couple of weeks and a number of ear-bashings, I've decided to take a couple of weeks off from the game. JJ has voluntered her services and we be here to answer any of your questions.

As far as the scoring for last week's game, if you have any problems...please PM me and not JJ.

Good luck everyone !!

Sorry loves, Lots of stuff on at school this coming week and I have to cry off both games Thanks XX

Are manufacturer's brand names allowed?

I think the plural rule should be enforced here a otherwise we'll have a bunch of S's.

As I am not running this week's game....I can't say if brand names are allowed....but I would agree on the Plurals....I will add that to the rules for this week..

Hi somali, sure I will allow manufacturer's brand names this week.

A big congratulations to the top three finishers from last week's game:

Sypher (1st place)
Pinhead (2nd place)
Somali (3rd [place)

JoJo doesn't feel up to running Snake and has asked me to take over. I hope you players don't mind.

Partsdude - I will allow your entry today. If you get specific in your description of an item it should be the type. How is a techibition's screwdriver different than any other? See what I mean?

BagLady - Same for you. All cartridges are replacement cartridges, but there are different types of cartridges.

Everybody remember this when selecting your entry.

Oh Lord, here we go again...

Rule #1: Anything you can find in a hardware store
Rule #3: Has to be something you can buy.

Sagebrush---will you be allowing brand names as well or are those out?

Just wanted to wish everyone a good week, and congratulate the top aces last week: Sypher, Pinhead and Somali! WTG!

Thanks guys...

It is my impression that you can find a lot of entries without using brand names, however I won't go against JJ's ruling that they are valid.

Hi Sagey, I am just checking my forums before I log off for a bit. I just wanted to say thank you for taking over for me.

Love you lots,
Jo

Sorry I forgot to tell anyone I would be gone yesterday - President's Day Holiday - but I'm back and eager to make up for lost time.
Congrats to the winners from last week. Job well done!!!!!
Now, out for vengeance - or fun???!!!

Hey Mama - good to see you back - missed you yesterday. We've been very well-behaved and restrained so far this week - sure that will change now you're back on the scene!

Partsdude - just wondering if this week's subject isn't too easy for you, what with working in a parts dept. You must be surrounded by catalogues full of hardware! Was this subject your idea by any chance?

Hello Snake players, I just thought I would let you know that I brought a fresh pot of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and donuts for everyone this morning. Welcome back mama and good luck to all.

lol, somalia....You think PARTSDUDE may have an edge with this topic? This from the person who came up with Polytetrafluoroethylene?

I do have a lot of catalogs here at work, but most of the stuff in them you can't find at a regular hardware store!

Nice one, Somali! Ummm..what site were you using again? LOL

Oooohhhh, JoJo, always so thoughtful my friend. It´s just about lunchtime here, but I wouldn´t mind having some donuts and hot chocolate..thanks.

Ahhh, the day from ****. JoJo, sweetheart, do you have any cocoa left? And maybe a doughnut or two or six? I am beat. Ready to hit the road, but tomorrow doesn't look any better. Everybody have a very good whatever it is you've got coming in the next 16 hours, and I will see you all later!!!
Love,
Mama

Hi Fortunata and mamaja, looks like we are all out of cocoa and donuts for the day but I will some for everyone in the morning. In the mean time, I think mamaja still has her stash of Bloody Mary's underneath her desk. If someone will get her bosses attention, I'll go and whip up a batch.

Hi JoJo - I had to leave before you came round with the doughnuts yesterday, and by the time I got back the others had scoffed the lot!. Please could I have two (or more!) today to make up? Can you hear my stomach rumbling at the thought? Oooh thick strawberry jam ..... oooh sticky sugar frosting ...... drool, drool.

You know I always have the stuff stashed, JoJo. Help yourself, and anyone else who comes along!!!
Coincidentally, my boss has just returned after three weeks of illness, complete with ambulance, emergency room, MRI and hospitalization, so she's re-evaluated her priorities and will probably join us!!! She now realizes life's too short!!! Funny how that comes to you. So just pour doubles all around!!!
Too early in the morning for me - I think I'll start out with doughnuts and mocha - but save me some bloody mary for later!!!

Oh Mama! I hate to do this but I'm going to have to challenge your entry. You left an i out of fertilizer. SORRY!

Hey Partsdude - I think that's a bit cheeky - pinching my galvanized like that! Wouldn't that come into the category of a "repeated word" according to Snake Rules (Final Edition)?
I might have to throw down the gauntlet on this one. What do you reckon, Sage?
