I want to play a game of Scotland Yard on the TTC. But I need you to help. I need people with cell phones and day passes to run around like an idiot for a day.

I'm thinking Saturday July 23rd. Come on down, have some fun!

That sounds like fun. I used to love the boardgame. Shame I'm not in Toronto.

That does sound like fun... except I don't have free weekend minutes. Hrrm.

I remember seeing that; it looks so super cool. I can't make it down that weekend, though. Report back on how it went!

Argh. I'd come down, and I get free weekend minutes, but I'd be charged out-of-town rates the whole time. Sorry.

(Oh, that's rather unfortunate. These last three are nested marquees in which one tag counter-acts the speed or direction of another. They look nice in Mac/Safari, Explorer/PC gets the diagonal motion of nested up and right marquees but doesn't interpret the speed in the same way and doesn't deal with up and down or left and right together. A shame. Even worse, Firefox/PC seems to strip the nested marquees completely, leaving just the outer one, and thus making these last three completely uninteresting (and completely legible; metafilter preview, I no longer love you).)

(Also unfortunate: at least on Firefox/PC, the live preview appears to no longer render marquee tags at all. )


Sigh. Come with me. . .
