Today we have another item from my childhood.....The Mad Tea Party Game, made by Whitman (It's Kid Tested!) in 1972.
Here's a pic of just the game board pieces.
And here's a pic taken after assembly with some of the playing pieces displayed on it.
The instructions are printed on the inside of the box.
I don't remember playing the game according to these instructions. Did you ever alter the rules to a game when you were a kid? I don't think that we did it on purpose, I think we just read the object of the game on the cover of the box and then assumed that we knew how to play. From what I remember, we piled ALL of the game pieces onto the turntable, spun it, then grabbed at whatever flew off and whoever collected a complete set first, was the winner. KIDS!!!

What a great game! It made me think of the Mouse Trap game. I never actually played the game---I just played with contraptions.

Whitman made so much Disneyland merch, almost always colorful and fun. Coloring books, activity books, puzzles, etc. I've never seen this Mad Tea Party game before. And yes, we ALWAYS changed the rules!
Verification word is "pilates".

Woman taken to hospital for glue on toilet seat prank at a Home Depot
BANKS COUNTY, Ga. A woman found herself stuck in an unfortunate situation after making a stop in the restroom of a north Georgia Home Depot.
Emergency workers were called to the store in Banks County last week to remove a woman glued to a toilet seat, deputies said.
A prankster had covered every toilet seat with Loctite GO2 glue , according to Commerce News Today.
The woman had to be taken to a hospital in Gainesville for treatment.

1. Look before you leak!
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Actually, that should be considered a crime, not a "prank," though why anyone would sit before looking to see if the seat is dry/clean first is beyond me.

2. Not the first time this type of thing has happened.
As I recall not so long ago some guy was glued to a toilet seat. I don't understand why people sit on the seats in a public toilet to begin with.

3. I've heard similar stories, too.
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And it is criminal behavior to put glue on the seats.
While I understand their reasoning, it's the people who don't sit who get the seats all wet and then leave them that way, which is pretty damn inconsiderate.
The only really safe and considerate procedure is to look first, wipe the seat with tissue, and then use more dry tissue to sit on (or paper seat covers when available).

4. I always sit
unless there's a cut or something open on my backside, something that has happened exactly once due to short shorts and a lawn mower.
Very few bugs can penetrate healthy skin for a variety of reasons and the bugs that can aren't found on loo seats.
I always check it for piss from the fastidious. I'd have noticed the glue.
This is assault, not a prank. I hope the shithead is caught, fired, and prosecuted. Needing skin grafts on your ass is no joke.

5. was that every seat in the restrooms, or just the women's restrooms?
(If it were just the women's restroom, it does not seem like a prank a woman would do, but there are cases.)
If both, there may be some criminal issues, depending on the local laws ...

8. I hope you clean up after you hover . . .
Those of us who believe door handles, and faucets, and the crank on the towel dispenser are far more likely to transmit disease than a toilet seat touching a non-mucous membrane (which is, in turn, far less likely to be transmitting any lingering germs to anything other than the inside of our pants) have to clean up after the people who think dangerous cooties live on toilet seats - and whose aim when hovering is not so hot - not to mention the drips on the floor which make the bathroom stinky and unpleasant to use.

14. True - but it is pretty good bet
that if there is pee on the seat it got there because someone was hovering and didn't clean up, because it is pretty hard to get pee on the seat if one is actually sitting on it.

16. Yes. Exacty. Hoverers are one of the reasons for filth and foul.
If these who hover above us will not touch their ass to the communal seat....you think they will wipe it down?
With their hands?
Nasty people.

22. I can hope . . .
Especially since, unlike the back sides of their legs (which remain covered once they exit the stall), their hands could be used to grab a generous bunch of toilet paper and wipe down without actually touching the communal seat and then washed upon exiting the stall.
So - no actual touching with any part of their body which is likely to transfer germs to the interior of their body, and a good cleansing (which, we know they are doing anyway) of the only part that potentially - if they are not good at bunching up toilet paper - might have touched the seat in a potentially germ transmitting way.
(Of course, absent open sores on the backs of their legs, or very strange rituals which might transfer germs from the backs of their legs & rump to their nose or mouth.)
But yes, I know I'm dreaming . . . but running into so many foul bathrooms which were so obviously defiled by hoverers (including my spouse - who insists that she just leaves it in the state it is in when she finds it), I could not restrain myself from expressing that dream (with a little reasoning about why it would be so reasonable for them to clean up after themselves).

15. Agree.
I watched a show about bacteria not too long ago - they test every part of a bunch of public washrooms. The dirtiest place? Not the toilet seat - it was the floor. I think second worst was the bottom of the sink. The cleanest place? Yup. The toilet seat.
I hate hover-ers who cannot be bothered to clean up their pee. Disgusting.

And even if it was the germiest place, the chances of acquiring an infection through your backside or legs (or transferring germs from your backside or legs to anywhere else they could cause an infection is virtually zero).

11. Exhibit A on why I absolutely hate
pranks and practical jokes in anyone over the age of, say, eight years old. They're juvenile, childish, usually inconvenient and often downright mean and thoughtless. Not to mention annoying. And tiresome. And did I say juvenile and childish? Or, as in this case, downright criminal and injurious. If the perpetrator is an employee, then fire his or her ass pronto and then prosecute fully. If not an employee, prosecution should still result and every restitution to the victim should be made. There is NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING funny about this at all. As is usually the case with practical jokes, especially by adults.
I've known cases of people being harmed by stuff they were allergic to being put into their food or drink, and the "jokester" thought it funny. Until the people ended up in the ER. Fucking juvenile crap, I have no tolerance for it.

I have a serious annoyance issue with prank shows too. I don't let my kids watch them. My motto is it's only funny if everybody is laughing. I don't tolerate practical jokes or pranks of any kind in our household. Seems extreme but in today's climate I feel like I have to let my kids know that it's not okay for others to treat them like that, and it's definitely not funny. I tell them how when I was a kid, bullies often used the whole 'prank' or 'it was a joke' excuse and got away with it and that those type of 'jokes' are often an underhanded method of bullying. Pranks are often for people who get a kick out of seeing other people in distress and I don't want to normalize it in our family. A 'prank' broke my tailbone as a teen and I spent years in pain because of it. And I was not a kid who was bullied - this kind of thing just happened all the time. I hated it then and I hate it now.

19. If she'd used a paper seat protector, the glue would've made it look wet & she wouldn't have sat...
... down at all without trying to wipe it dry.
NOT her fault, however, that some sick practical joker caused her such injury and such humiliation.
I still think Robert Heinlein had it right:
A "practical joker" deserves applause for his wit according to its quality. Bastinado is about right. For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling. But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest. ~Lazarus Long~

21. Somehow I have difficulty in believing this.
Those glues dry very quickly, usually within just a few seconds. You would really have to rush in after someone just leaving, toilet stall after toilet stall (which should raise red flags all over the place), to drop clothing and sit while it is still not dried.

LocTite All Temperature Repair
" Apply adhesive to both surfaces. Accurately position and press parts firmly together within 5 minutes of application. For difficult bonds use tape or clamp to hold pieces together after bonding. Full strength after 24 hours."
I don't understand why she wouldn't notice that she sat on something.
If it was the instant bonding kind, it would have been set before she sat down - as you said.

35. I found one update after I posted a similar thread in the lounge...
one article mentioned the possibility that the woman did this herself. Now, that seems odd but when you consider there have been other incidents in the past and other lawsuits, I suppose it's possible she was looking to make a few bucks.
The loungers were VERY skeptical about the whole story.

Me Talk Pretty Talks "We Are Strangers"
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:29:51
MeTalkPretty Videos
"We want everybody to come to our shows and be inspired," declares Me Talk Pretty frontwoman Uliana.
That's a lofty goal, but Me Talk Pretty will undoubtedly accomplish it. On their debut record We Are Strangers, the New York quartet cooks up invigorating and infectious rock 'n' roll with ethereal flourishes and a danceable groove. It's an enigmatic sound informed by a myriad of influences and personal experiences accrued from life all over the globe. That's precisely why Me Talk Pretty are one of the most intriguing new bands to emerge this year…
In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief and Dolor author Rick Florino, Uliana and Leon of Me Talk Pretty discuss We Are Strangers and so much more.
Where does the story of Me Talk Pretty start?
Leon: It started in 2006 in New York City. That right there is the easiest explanation. There's so much going on in New York City. There are so many cool different types of music happening. Tying it with both Uliana and my background, we had a lot of inspiration around us. We've always wanted to create something a little different but at the same time familiar.
Uliana: I came from here oversees following a huge dream to front a rock band.
How do you tend to write?
Uliana: Sometimes, lyrics come simultaneously with a song. Certain things inspire me while I sing. There are words that just come with the song. I feel that's probably the most inspiring. I'm describing what I feel without really thinking about it. Then, I step back and I realize that's where I'm at and what I want to write about. Sometimes, you take the melody and write lyrics to it. I take a lot of pride in my lyrics because they mean a lot to me. I'm very lyric-oriented as an artist. I tend to listen to lyrics a lot even when I listen to my favorite artists. When people connect with our songs and lyrics, it means the world to me. English is my second language so it means a lot to me when people do connect to what I sing.
What's the story behind "Wake Up!"?
Uliana: Everything started about six years back when I was in Romania. I was watching all of these amazing bands on TV wondering how you get to be on stage in front of a ton of people in that context. I had this amazing choice to come to America with my mother. A few years right after, my mom passed away. "Wake Up!" talks about that and the life she wanted me to have and the sacrifices she made for me to have a future in a much better world. "Wake Up!" is an homage to her. It's a very intense song live. In the beginning, it was hard for me to talk about the song. For about six to eight months, we never said anything about it on stage. It became easier for me especially when people came to me and said, "I feel there's something very special about that song". Now, it's one of our most appreciated songs.
What's up with "Keep Waiting"?
Uliana: That one is a very girly song. It talks about being approached by a guy and being in that state of mind where you're not quite sure what you want. You simply want to take your time and figure out if you want to pursue a relationship or not. From a girl's point of view, it talks about whether or not you want to pursue this person. That's why it's called "Keep Waiting".
Is it important for you to paint a picture and tell stories with the songs?
Leon: We're all artists in our own weird ways. Uliana is actually a sculptress.
Uliana: I went to school for fine arts back home in Romania. When I can and I have time, I love to sculpt and all of these crazy things.
Leon: The live show is an opportunity to put visuals and our own art form behind the actual songs. When we're writing, we're always thinking about moments for the live show, artwork, and how to bring the songs to life three-dimensionally. We like depth in everything. We wrote from that mentality and we approach everything from that mentality.
If We Are Strangers were a movie or a combination of movies what would it be?
Leon: Wow, we've never been asked that question [Laughs].
Uliana: I have it! I feel like we're out of The Blind Side or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Those people who never think they can do things and suddenly you just realize that if you really want you can bring a message to the world and change things around you. You can make a difference. This is our avenue to speak. It's our first chance to make a difference. We want to give those people who don't think they have a voice a chance to speak. When I first came to America, I didn't speak any English. Some people gave me credit and some wrote me off. I don't want to do that. I think our public is so important. Everybody has a voice and can express themselves. That's what we want to do.
—Rick Florino

The Green Bay Packers' injury-racked secondary will get a youthful boost in Sunday's season opener with rookies Morgan Burnett and Sam Shields earning starts against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Associated Press reported Friday.
Burnett, the Packers' third-round pick from Georgia Tech, has started at safety since the offseason in place of Atari Bigby, who's on the physically unable to perform list.
The undrafted Shields established himself in preseason and has been busy this week as the frequently-used third cornerback with Al Harris and Brandon Underwood sidelined.
Also Friday. Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson jammed his toe near the end of practice.

Budget 2014 a `huge disappointment' – Ram and McRae
In their detailed annual review, accounting firm Ram and McRae says the 2014 budget is a "huge disappointment" and contends that at least one of its provisions makes it "dead on arrival".
In a 12-page edited version of the Budget Focus in today's Stabroek News, Ram and McRae says the budget seems to contain only a shopping list for Expenditure while offering nothing on employment creation and the critical issues of corruption and better public sector financial management.
"Indeed, there is growing evidence that the country's financial management is under serious threat, despite regular warnings. Despite the usual grandiloquence there is no real evidence of a central theme or the direction in which the Government proposes to take the country", the chartered accounting firm said in its conclusion.
It charged that the budget placed very little attention on job creation and none on the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), which it says is still reeling from the loss of monies in the CLICO collapse.
"Dr. Ashni Singh is not only the Minister responsible for the NIS but was also the Minister responsible for CLICO's oversight when it collapsed. It is all the more troubling that there is such little interest in what is an equally badly executed liquidation", Ram and McRae said.
Noting that little was said about the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project and how the need for low-cost energy will be met, the accounting firm said that concerns that there may be moves to restore the project cannot be discounted even as the Government announced a study into the feasibility of hydropower from Mazaruni.
"Indeed Ram & McRae finds it hard to understand the $16,000 million allocated for equity contribution to the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project. We believe that item alone makes this Budget incapable of approval, or in common parlance, dead on arrival", the budget review said.
Ram and McRae contended that Singh's presentation was a budget driven by subsidies and handouts with the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and Guyana Power and Light, Inc. (GPL) continuing as major beneficiaries even though the Government is resisting a review of their operations. The accounting firm says it seems irresponsible for GuySuCo to be provided further budgetary support until it complies with the law relating to the presentation of annual accounts and reports.
Ram and McRae also reviewed the controversial decisions by the Court in the "Budget Cuts Case".
"We believe that the court fell into error and therefore welcome the decision by the Speaker to appeal the decision of the one-man constitutional court. The National Assembly now proceeds to have the Estimates examined by the Committee of Supply which the court stripped of any real purpose and function, prompting one seasoned commentator to describe the process as "high farce"", the budget review said.
It added that the National Assembly has been stymied in its work by the Executive and the President who "appears to treat the opposition as an obstacle rather than a partner in progress".
The review said if there is no progress on settling the impasse over the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism amendments, all the projects by the Minister of Finance could be placed in jeopardy. "We therefore join in appealing to everyone to put Guyana first", the review said.
"Ram & McRae predicts that the Government will have a difficult time to persuade the parliamentary opposition to support certain budgetary allocations for projects and initiatives that appear to have received inadequate planning; or to allow the spending on NCN from which so much of the country is shut out; or to finance some of the government's pet projects.
"There is a belief that the PPP/C is unwilling to function without a clear majority which would allow it to have its unhindered way in the Assembly. Cynics might even suggest that the 2014 Budget was designed to invite a rejection of the Budget and justify returning to the polls and forestalling long delayed and much feared local government elections", Ram and McRae asserted.

This is an opinion piece. I have an opinionated opinion.
Illustrators and cosplayers alike are widely varied in their approach to the number of diamonds on Harley's costume. Since there is little consistency in the illustrations themselves, this makes it difficult for cosplayers to select the "right" number. There doesn't really seem to BE a "right" number.
Placement is a related issue, at least as far as illustrators are concerned. Some (not all) illustrators get really over-enthusiastic and start putting the diamonds all over the place.
But the placement of Harley's diamonds is really very specific and not at all random. They're meant to evoke a sense of the old patterned Arlecchino costume, not reproduce it. Too many diamonds makes the costume too busy from a stylistic sense for a dainty female character in a streamlined design, and they're placed to be symmetrical and therefore flattering. The majority of illustrators faithfully adhere to the proper placement and cosplay

Bonnie Brae Tavern turns eighty, T-Wa closes: A second helping of Cafe Society June 2-6
Chai & Chai has a split personality, with Indian and Arabian food.
Danielle Lirette
This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz reviewed Chai & Chai in Aurora, an inconsistent but still intriguing dual-identity restaurant. For Chef and Tell, Lori Midson talked with Jeff Jones, the chef at P17, which Mary Nguyen opened in what had been the home of Parallel 17. And Mark Antonation started his Ethniche exploration of Ethiopian food with a visit to Queen of Sheba. See also: Wott's happening at the Queen of Sheba on Colfax
Also this week, in celebration of National Doughnut Day, we counted down the top ten doughnuts in Denver. And since summer is in full gear everywhere but on the calendar, we also highlighted ten food trucks that are ideal for an outdoor meal. And finally, we said happy birthday to Bonnie Brae Tavern, which turns eighty today.

Sermon Illustrations
"Clean Slate," from "Harrowsmith Country Life'" by Rebecca Rupp, (VT, January &ls;96), quoted in Reader's Digest, p. 27
Still, as failures go, we're in good company. Take Benjamin Franklin. As a young man, Ben composed a master list of 12 resolutions, later tacking on a killer 13th ("Imitate Jesus and Socrates"). He had particular difficulty, he notes in his Autobiography, with Resolution No. 2 ("Silence&md;Avoid trifling conversation"), No. 3 ("Order&md;Let all your things have their places") and No. 5 ("Frugality&md;Waste nothing").
Ben kept track of his performance in a small book in which he entered a black mark each day for each resolution broken. He had intended to reuse the little book, eventually erasing old black marks as his performance improved. It didn't. So many black marks appeared on top of black marks that the little book developed holes. He had to resort to keeping his records on a piece of ivory, from which the accumulated black marks could be tactfully mopped off with a wet sponge.

Comment on "What Are The Best Animated Anime Scenes Ever?" by tomoemami:
Most anime movies have an excellent or decent animation, against a TV series it's a bit unbalanced. Maybe a list of TV series and one of movies would be better?
Recent comments by tomoemami:
- Atelier Ayesha "Cutest Atelier Ever":
I agree that they both have their charm; both styles have a very soft and nice style, they both work great with Atelier :)
- Kiddy Event "Ruined by Creepy Lolicon Otaku":
Maybe the people buying several could have given them to the kids? At least the kids get a souvenir for free that way!
- Perfect Length for Manga = "30 Volumes":
Hmmm that's a bit too much for me. I think 20 and below is more than enough to tell a story, but then again there are some stories that can get away with more.
- Hikikomori Stabs Brothers & Kills Self For Being Told "Work!":
How are you supposed to get experience for an internship? Isn't an internship supposed to give you the experience you don't have?? o.o?? This is messed up!
- Bleach May End: "Final Chapter Starts":
I also liked it the best before the Soul Soc. Arc and dropped it during the Hueco Mundo Arc ^_^U and I'm talking about the manga, I found watching the anime pointless since it has fillers to top it off. I think Bleach is pretty good, it only needs a bit more editing because it's unnecessarily stretched with too many fights, and some characters are only given "screen time" because of their popularity and coolness and not because of being vital to the story.

Royal Caribbean Italy, France, and Spain: Legend of the Seas Cruise Review by BARRISTER70
Overall Member Rating
Royal Caribbean Italy, France, and Spain
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
We chose Our Time dining, and for us it worked well, although I saw a number of people complaining throughout the cruise as they were waiting to get into the dining room on the 5th deck. Our preference has been to try to sit at a sharing table with as many people as possible. So, during the week we sat most of the time with a couple in their early 50s from Texas, several times with two young women from Germany, an older woman from Australia, travelers More from U.K., and Canada. If you want to share tables, and don't want the hassle of any lines, the best time to go is at 7pm. After our showing up on time, etc. for the first 3 nights, the Maitre D always checked us in to the same table. We and the Texas couple were always joined by a rotating group of four others. On the whole, while we found the waiters attentive, we felt the pace of service to be slow. I was very disappointed in the steak I ordered in our first meal, but found the main dining food during the week to be adequate. While on the subject of food, the buffet on the 9th deck was always excellent.
I read some of the other reviews. The social staff was excellent The entertainment was always good. We missed the feature entertainment on the first night, because the meal took a very long time (service was slow).
When we got to our cabin, the tour tickets had already been delivered. Unfortunately we did not open the envelope right away, and were disappointed to find too late after dinner our tour for the first day had been canceled. While there was a note inside the envelope informing us of this, I think the Royal Caribbean could have done a better job by additionally placing this info prominently on the outside of the envelope. By the time we saw this, the excursion office had closed. Luckily, we were able to book the alternate tour early the next morning.
There is nothing in the cabin telling you how to retrieve a message from the phone. We had not noticed the blinking light until we returned to the cabin, and did not have a clue that our passcode was simply to put in our cabin number. Why it needs a passcode is another question since we were calling from our cabin. Guest Services at The front desk was of no help. The clerk told us to put in "1111" as the code. That did not work, and we wasted $15.00 trying to call our home because we were worried that the blinking light meant an emergency at home. Guest Services sent up a maintenance man for the phone, and he told us to enter the cabin number. The message that we retrieved was simply to tell us about the canceled tour.
One other complaint---even with an IPad, computer access is slow and needlessly expensive. We resented the expense of just getting online.
Many, many passengers became seasick on the last day. I was told that was not uncommon because we were on open seas trying to get back to Italy at a fast clip in a storm. the crew was helpful-free Dramamine at the front desk, barf bags everywhere, and cut up granny smith apples were handed out. The Captain announced that moving to the center of the ship on the fourth and fifth decks was the best place to be.
On the whole--- a wonderful cruise, and we would recommend it. Less

Cabin review: D17536 Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
We were very pleased with our cabin. More than enough space for two people. there probably would not be enough storage if we added our children to the mix. It probably could have used a few more hangers. Great location on 7th deck mid-ship. We could go up and down stairs two levels to be in the swing of food. Being at mid-ship, I believe lessened the seasickness on the last day.A note on your survey. The list of ports does not include Valencia, which we enjoyed, but could not write comments because of the port list. We took the city tour.Read All Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony (D1) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
We probably would have wanted a second day in Barcelona.
City Tour
It was okay. Our original tour was to include the aquarium, but for unknown reasons the cruise line canceled that. We still wanted to see something and this was wheat we came up with. There was not a whole lot to see, and the guide mentioned that the aquarium was special.
This was a very nice city to walk around in. There really were not a lot of sites to see.
Flamenco Show
Enjoyable. The only building in which we were inside was the Flamenco show.
