Pyweek 6 - WTF happened?

I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with an idea for Pyweek 6, but so far none of the ideas I’ve come up with feels like it’s doable. Not sure what is happening, although I’m feeling it’s partly because I’m trying to make this next game better than the last two, and I [...]

Methinks this isn’t what they had in mind

Introducing Frosted Mini Spooners.
JoDee and I noted that there are now “Frosted Mini Spooners” available at Meijer. Apparently the Malt-O-Meal folks have given up trying to find cereal names that aren’t somehow euphemistic. (And yes, that’s the clean link. See the disambiguation link on ye-olde Wikipedia for other common uses). Way to be brave, [...]
