FUN AND GAMES

The Lifeboat Game
This is my variant of the classic Lifeboat Game.
I've have good results using it for the past eight years.

The Four Philosophical Truths of The Wizard of Oz
Just what it says.

A Bunraku Puppet Play
This is a simplified variation on a classic Japanese puppet play,
with notes about the history of Bunraku theater.

The History of the Waffle Iron
I wrote this to accompany an especially cheap wedding present.


GREAT LINKS

MUSIC

Everyone loves Wierd Al. Visit him here!
I've always been a big fan of Heart. Their home page is located at "Ann and Nancy .com."
Somewhat off the beaten path is German Mother of Punk Rock Nina Hagen.
Still less known is the amazing Canadian band Martha and the Muffins. They have a web page here.
Finally, with a second album out this year, there's the goofy fun of Danish band Aqua.

HUMOR

Every Wednesday check out the latest grins and guffaws at The Onion.
If you like to laugh at the plight of clueless humanity, you'll love the Heartless Bitches International website.
If you can catch the references, read, "She-Ra and Xena: Separated at Birth?"

GAMES

Yes, I'm sad to say it, but I'm addicted to that "Cardboard Crack," the collectable card game called Magic: The Gathering.
Hey, at least it isn't Pokemon.
News on the game can be found at the Wizards of the Coast web site and at MTGnews.
Every Sunday there's a Type II Magic tournament at St. Louis' The Gathering Ground.
