Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

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
