So he ordered a new PC and it arrived early this week. It’s kinda hard to be a gamer when all you have at your disposal is Minesweeper and Solitaire, so he had to order Myst IV and Battlefield 2 (to join us in games).  Well, Myst arrived yesterday and he spent the rest of the day playing it.  The guy who says he’s usually in bed by 10 was up until 1 this morning and had no recollection of time passing.

I've known the owner of Spammy's for years, and I consider myself friends with most of the regulars. With that said, I am still in favor of the smoking ban. I am especially looking forward to the policy being enforced in restaurants. At the same time, however, I do feel that Spammy's (and similar taverns) will be effected by the ban. For many smokers, it won't be worth the $$ to sit at the poker machine and drink, if they can't enjoy their toxic chemicals at the same time. Perfect Example: Would Snoop Dogg go to Spammy's now that the ban is in effect? I think not! As Eric said, Spammy’s is like a home away from home for me.
