ToyShop & Floyditorium		#ClubFloyd Discussion


		DavidW asks, "So..... so..... what ARE we playing today?"
		Jacqueline says, "I am not sure, but now is the appointed time at which we have that discussion."
		Roger says, "There was a bit of discussion earlier about maybe something tangentially related to Mothers' Day, which led the discussion towards Mean Mother Trucker, but some people have already played that so that might be enough reason to keep looking (or some other reason.)"
		DavidW says, "Roger was suggesting the other day that we might try for a Mother's Day theme."
		Jacqueline says, "FWIW, I have not played Mean Mother Trucker."
		Jacqueline says, "It doesn't necessarily sound Mother's Day-ish, but I have no idea."
		DavidW says, "It's not Mother's Day-ish at all. I have played it."
		DavidW says, "It's a fun game, though."
		Jacqueline asks (of Roger), "Do you have a suitable Mother's Day recommendation that we could use to mark this Hallmark holiday?"
		lkcampbell says, "ragman? jk"
		Jacqueline says, "HAHAHAHA"
		Roger says, "we looked around a bit yesterday but didn't find anything too promising"
		Jacqueline says, "Thank you for that burst of laughter, Lance."
		lkcampbell says, "it had to be said :)"
		Jacqueline says, "Sadly, we've already played that one."
		Jacqueline says, "It's really too bad. Such a great Mother's Day game."
		Jacqueline asks, "This is the second week that Mean Mother Trucker has been suggested, who here has not played it (to see if there are enough people)?"
		Roger says, "not I"
		lkcampbell says, "Alma Mater"
		lkcampbell says, "has a mother's day tag"
		Roger says, "that's a very short speed-if game which even I cannot really recommend"
		DavidW says, "I think you guys should play Mean Mother Trucker. You could play Alma Mater first, of course."
		Roger says, "But I shan't stand in your way"
		lkcampbell says, "thanks to the new tag search on IFDB :)"
		lkcampbell says, "(IFDB plug)"
		DavidW says, "I can be a know-it-all observer today."
		Jacqueline says (to DW), "Looks like MMT is not on there. I can put it there or you can."
		Jacqueline says, "I will do it if you're not already half done."
		DavidW says, "I can put it there while you guys play almamater"
Jacqueline says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask almamater"

CF \| "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today," as your mother
CF \| used to tell you. But did you listen? No. So when you found there

CF \|
CF \| A dim, slobbery dog. Your mother used to own a Petit Basset Griffon
CF \| Vendéen, years ago. Unfortunately, that breed turned out to be a bit
CF \| of a nockle -- that is, a good thing made smaller and thus worse. So
CF \| following the folding couch tragedy, she bought Stev, a Grand Basset
CF \| Griffon Vendéen.
CF \|
CF \| Stev looks at you expectantly. He probably wants to be petted.

CF \| 18-Wheeler Squealer
CF \| The cab of the 18-Wheeler Squealer is cramped but comfortable, just
CF \| two bucket seats and a dashboard full of knobs, gears, rocker
CF \| switches, buttons, dials, gauges, and everything else that you need to
CF \| control a full 80,000 pounds of Detroit steel as it barrels down the
CF \| highway. You can go OUT to the parking lot.
CF \|
CF \| You can see a rear view mirror, a dashboard, a glove box and a CB
CF \| radio here.

CF \| Parking Lot
CF \| It's a parking lot just like so many parking lots that you've seen at
CF \| so many roadside truck stops all across this country, weeds as tall as
CF \| your waist bursting from cracks in the broken asphalt. The Last Chance
CF \| Diner, with a big neon sign crowing TRY OUR FAMOUS BLACK COFFEE, is
CF \| accessible via an entrance to the north. A battered metal road sign,
CF \| pocked with shot gun holes, announces WELCOME TO DESECRATION. Someone
CF \| has spraypainted ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO TRUCK HERE below that. A
CF \| freeway sign further announces HIGHWAY 666 AHEAD, HIGHWAY 12 EXIT
CF \| RIGHT. Your truck and home away from home, the 18-Wheeler Squealer, is
CF \| parked here.
CF \|
CF \| You can go NORTH to the Last Chance Diner , WEST to the Last Chance
CF \| Gas Station, or IN to the 18-Wheeler Squealer.
CF \|
CF \| You can see a hitchhiker and a truck here.
CF \|
CF \| "Lousy no good cop, who does he think he is," mumbles the hitchhiker
CF \| under her breath as he squints at the passing cars.

CF \| Last Chance Diner
CF \| The Last Chance Diner is the last eating establishment along Route
CF \| 666 before the Devil's Taint, so among truckers it's often joked that
CF \| a burger or a steak consumed here could literally be your last meal --
CF \| so make it count. The atmosphere is casual but cranky, and the room is
CF \| packed with hungry diners enjoying home-style cooking. The kitchen is
CF \| visible through an open window behind the counter, and there are
CF \| seating booths available for paying customers. A gumball machine and a
CF \| cigarette machine are by the door, which opens onto the parking lot to
CF \| the south. A door to the north leads to the back lot.
CF \|
CF \| You can see a gumball machine, a cigarette machine, a chalk menu and a
CF \| waitress here.
