if you are a cool person or tough guy you should go read the thread about playing online poker. This thread is for weenies.

I have always HATED crossword puzzles because I hate trivia. But lately I've been solving the puzzle in the newspaper cause some of it is clever and fun. Turns out that the daily puzzle from most papers is avail. free online in a nice FLASH implementation:

The advantage of doing it online is the convienent cheating facility. IF you get a dumbass clue about the first name of some obscure dumbass, you just click a button and it fills in the word for you.

I prefer sudoku.

It's good for the bowel--more incentive to take a long leisurely shit while doing a sudoku. I bet it would work with a crossword puzzle, though, too.

I'm getting to feel like a sudoku right now.

No. I'm saying it's a pleasant way to multi-task.
