I want to say maybe A Wrinkle in Time?
A Joe Rogan podcast?
A YouTube video?

Who the heck knows?!

It's a type of monster right?

Think I should probably shoot both ESP and CCP at the classifier this Saturday.

So in Duolingo, once you complete an entire language tree, some people suggest that you do the reverse tree. Basically, I am learning Spanish as an English speaker. The reverse tree is where you say you're a Spanish speaker, and learn English. When you first start a new course, you can just start at the very beginning, or test to see where you are. Well I took the test and was rated (out of 25 levels) an English level of

drum roll please.......

Level 1 English. Ouch.

I could use my CZ and my shield, but I only have two mags for my shield.

I'm a little irritated that the very first match of the year happens to be a qualifier, BUT I realize that it's my fault I haven't shot all winter, especially considering that I had all the time in the world.

Also, I'm a bit mollified by the fact that I can shoot over and over.

Yeah, one that gets you shortly after your last source of light runs out. Salivating fangs and all that.

Not sure of origin. Curious now.

F'ing hell! The hint was right in your damn comment. I never played Zork, but I watched a video all about it!
Enjoy.

I hate that first or second match is classifier but clubs need to get it done by May I think. For Regional/National match stuff I think.

I think you might (with a little help and patience from squad) be able to get through 5x5 with two mags. Std may start some whining.

Surely tou can pick up couple Shield mags by Saturday.

Zork didn't actually go on the market until 1982, written in 1977. A friend from school got a pirate copy over the summer of 82 and we got to play it when school started in the fall.
