Lindsey has become addicted to this game. I think she sleeps with her DS under her pillow now.

215lbs of tech junk that is. 215lbs of junk that is no longer cluttering up my basement, and won’t be sitting in a landfill seeping lead, mercury and other Bad Things into the ground.

Not to beat a dead S&M horse, but while playing through some of Sam and Max ep 6 tonight, we came across this exchange between the two furry freelance police officers when confronted with a pot of old slimey coffee:
