Then there's always "Lost in the Supermarket"
Each street is named after a supermarket section (Produce, canned goods, frozen food, the liquor aisle) and the radials are all check out lines.

And everyone from Gate and DPW dresses like a 1980s punk.

Betcha everyone would want to camp on the liquor aisle, that's where most people lost in the supermarket end up anyway.

This is one of my favorite themes too.

I wanna see some of those giant pretzel/tube top thingies, barely covering the breasts of some well-endowed German bier maidens. (Like they wore in "The Producers.")
...but it seemed like such a good idea at the time...

Ooo! Ooo! Even better: "Lost in the Drug Store!"

Potential street names: "Tranquilizers", "Stimulants", "Opiates/Narcotics", "Hallucinogens", "Birth Control/STD Prevention", "Embarassing Personal Fungus & Parasite Products"
...but it seemed like such a good idea at the time...

True. I forgot the part where there are no art cars, only art carts. (or is that ar carts?) I suppose there will be lots of little horsies to ride on for a quarter.

Thread Drift

On the other hand, when we were on our way to Lovelock we passed the "Donner Trails" subdivision, with street names like "Snowdrift" and "Fort Bridger." That seemed like a really bad idea for residential property--historical connection or not. Really. Would you ever fell completely comfortable cooking in a kitchen there? And what kind of nightmares would your children have when they learn the truth about their little piece of home.



Who knows. Maybe they'll have kick ass neighborly block parties.

"Body Parts"

Know-thyself questions:
(1) What street would you most want to camp on?
(2) What street would you least want to camp on?


I'll start off with my answers:
(1) Feet Street, because I like the sound of it
(2) Nipple Drive, because I'm not sure if I could stand the constant pressure to express myself

backwards

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Sat Oct 09, 2004 8:11 am

Theme spelled backwards is Emeht. Reverse the last two letters and we get E-Meth. I'm working on my costume for Kranky the Klown patterned after the charactor that encourages truck drivers to "pack their beaks with prison powder" and drive into a ditch on www.CBabuse.com

Download the "Trucker Abuse" game there.
