Well, at least for whoever's bent on taking my life. Bought two more expansion to Arkham Horror today. Got home and, again, broke out the first one and opened the card packs and counted them out to make sure everything was there. I went into the living room to sit down and read thruogh the rules additions for the expansion. I wound up crashing out in the chair. When I woke up, I headed to the kitchen to open the other package and go through it, when I was stopped by the smell of gas. As soon as I got into the kitchen, the first thing I did was look at all the control knobs that are molded in such a way as to allow one to tell at a glance if they're in the on position. They weren't. My eye fixed on the boiler knob, which is just round and black. When I gave that one a turn, it turned out it was on pretty close to a quarter of the way. I better buy the rest of the expansions all at the same time. I'm the luckiest guy on the face of the Earth, but there's no sense in going to that well too often. That's three times in about six months. JW |

There's a certain level of creepiness to all this. |

Foiled again! When will my fiendish plan work?  |

Whatever you do, don't buy Gaslight! You'll be a goner then, for sure! :) |

Yikes! Good thing you didn't feel like a smoke after you woke up
I recommend putting a spot of white paint on the black knob
Sooner rather than later. Lucky guy

Does phenomena like this happen often? |

"Does phenomena like this happen often?" Three times in six months he sez. I think you need a safer game like Chutes and Ladders or Candyland. Any exes with keys lurking about? Or Texan weapons dealers coveting your collection?  |

bullant I did mark the chrome part of the knob with a Marks-a-lot, but still turn it when I check it. If I can put it on, somebody else can take it off and move it. IttyBitty That's what they want you to believe. A couple TMP'ers have suggested I move. It might be they're looking for a great deal on rent and trying to run me off. My personal feeling is that the govt. has hooked the knobs up electronically and is controlling them remotely. Excuse me while I don my tinfoil hat. JW |

I guess they don't realize a drive-by is a lot quicker. Probably a lot more efficient, too; although, if they shoot me in the head, it's only about a 30/70 ratio for success. JW |

Don't smoke. Never been married; although, you're the second one to have suggested that. With so many thinking that's a probability, won't be trying any time soon. Maybe a girl who loves me and I've disappointed . . . back to the tinfoil hat. JW |
