My mother was an invalid. She is gone now and I miss her.

We had a potty that we could sit by her bed so that we didn't have to use a bed pan.

When I was playing SMAC, I ran across that relic and it popped in my head how convenient that would be. Just swap it out for my computer chair.

That has nothing to do with Civ3 does it.

you know you've played too much civ3 when...

1. you are willing to used forced labor to get the yard mowed (today damnit)...after all you you have three kids and there are more where those came from.

2. you drive over the bridge at the creek and look at the field that always floods in heavy rain and think "this would be a good city site"

3. In the supermarket you stop to build roads to connect your buggy to the dairy and fresh fruit departments..

4. When you win an arguement with someone you spread your arms, laugh "ha, ha" and inform the room you have become elite

7. you decide to skirt airport security by claiming you have a right of passage agreement

8. after airport security arrests you, you identify yourself as a resistor and advise them to garrison the city with strong military units...

9. After the judge puts you to work clearing a jungle you thank Sid there are no swamps on this map, and then

10. you bribe an offical to get you transfered to the capital because then you will at least be on the trading screen

"We would like to propose a deal."

"Uh... okay."

"We want large pepperoni pizza. We offer 7 gold. Will you accept this deal, Pizza Man?"

"Well, um, our large pepperoni pizza costs 8 dollars."

"We want large pepperoni pizza. We offer 8 gold. Will you accept this deal, Pizza Man?"

"I dunno what you mean, sir. We don't take gold."

"Never mind..."

"Uh.. sure."

"Would you like to trade world maps?"

"What?"

"That's it! Prepare for WAR!"

Someone is standing in your way, and you shout "Remove your forces from our territory or declare WAR!"...but not until after you switch over to communism, just in case.
