MuseBlogeography

It all started with Tesseract’s civics class and a pair of Alaskan fish socks…and continued well past the limit of nested replies, so here’s a thread where you can talk about your state (or province or country): a chance to play mythbuster or mythmaker or just be silly about the state (or province or country) you call home.

The Floating, Underwater, Extraterrestrial, or Otherwise Exotic City Design Thread

Originally suggested by Rainbow, who said:

By multiple requests: no role-playing.

Alter Ego Thread, v. 2009.4

Pick a pseudonym; guess who the other pseudonymous posters are while they try to guess you. It’s a little like “Battleship.”

Continued from version 2009.3.

NOTE: Check your posts before sending them — remember that now you can use the preview button. The Administrators will not rescue you if you accidentally submit one under your “real” blogname. Many an alter ego has fallen victim to a careless “submit” click.
