OK, this is not a new game, I confess. Oh wait, maybe it can be. At least until it gets bumped to Siberia or straight to the bitbucket.

It has now been over 24 hours since anyone has made a post of any kind anywhere in the Chain Gang! Has this ever happened before? Ever?

In response to the complete apathy around here I offer this little game to help get things moving. Hey, all I can do is try. I want to hear everyone’s excuse for being a party-pooper as of late. So, I want you to start by giving us your excuse, and then end by asking the next guy what his/her excuse is.

I’ll start:

I’ve been in a nuclear submarine below the polar ice cap looking for Atlantis.

What’s your excuse?

It depends on what you look at, obviously,
But even more it depends on the way that you see

Ooh, sounds like fun! Time to get in on a Chain Gang early, before I get too confused…

I’m not a party-pooper. I’ve just been up for 96 hours straight studying for my upcoming Electricity and Magnetism final.

So, what’s your excuse?

My excuse????
Hummmm…...
I’ll blame JVarner!
when ya’ll are nearing graduation, I get super busy!!!!
(I manage a plaques and awards shop)
I’m gonna be going a bit nuts for the next 4-5 weeks!
(BTW, which college are you attending JVarner ?)

Also, you’ll see my name on a good portion of yesterdays posts and it’s not much fun playing by myself

I think the excuse is that lots of regulars are testing the new forum engine.

Just be patient and…THEY WILL RETURN!

I’ve been trying to thing of a new name for the Command Line column. (Apparently “The Best of P.G. Wodehouse” has been used, curse the luck.)

What’s your excuse?

It’s been a combination of fiddling with Linux, and playing RtCW.
