Could someone please explain...

Why the HELL do I own a copy of The Last Exodus?

I know I didn't get a review copy. I must have bought it.

Did I buy it at GenCon?

Guys?

Did I get it to be familiar with the ruleset for the 9/11 supplement (now approaching two years later, guys; better get a move on)?

What possible reason could I have for this? The faux tattoo cover art is nice, I guess, but I'm really incapable of putting together a coherent reason for owning this.

On the plus side, a noodle restaurant is opening down the road. And Snra. Bitter & I went for Pocky the other day. She'd never had it before. It's weird how many simple junkfoods most people haven't had.

I hate that Crunchy bars are both fragile and poorly packed. Look: They're the tastiest candy bars in the world, but they break real easy. Make it harder for 'em to break, and I'll buy more.

I wanna run a Wraith game based on the song Orleans Parish Prison.

Firefly has recommenced on Space. Watch it.

I don't know. It might have been the price -- it was fairly cheap. Was it swag? Did Sean Jaffe talk you into it? He's a wily one, that Sean.

Who sings the song in question?

Hey, I'll take it off your hands. ;-)

No, it's not swag. It's an actual purchase. Okay, it's got a centerfold in the front cover, but other than that I'm stumped. I think I got it at the same 1/2 price sale I got 5E Ninja Hero & Golden Ages for Brave New World.

I can JUSTIFY those two purchases. Not the third one.

The song is by Dick Feller, performed by Johnny Cash.

The three verses describe three characters of a certain wretchedness, in such a hostile environment, that it's the sort of thing that makes a good W game. That and googling the jail itself shows a typically lovely correctional institution, but located in New Orleans, which is +2 fun.

I saw lemonade-flavoured Crunchie bars the other day and am still cringing. Why take something that's already perfect and do something that atrocious to it? *shudder*

No, I have nothing productive to add. Except, I have never tried Pocky, either. Odd.

They did Orange too, which made me angry.

Pocky good, btw. Verah Tasty.
