    There is so much imagery crammed into these six words. It’s fantastic what you can do with so little.

    I don’t see how this is triumph. It makes me think suicide.

    Emily… kinda odd that your post date (11/01/09) can be rearranged to the date of 9/11 (09/11/01), isn’t it?

    Just sayin’.

    Hej der, jeg stødte på chicken road game, da en ven sagde, at danske spillere altid får bonusser, og jeg blev straks nysgerrig. Jeg prøvede et par spil, havde nogle småtab, men satsede lidt højere og fik en god gevinst. Det føles virkelig sjovt, at bonusserne gør hver runde mere underholdende, og nu spiller jeg det, når jeg har brug for et hurtigt afbræk og lidt ekstra spænding.
