call me slow, i don't get the triple entendre.

i don't login or join anything much. if i can't
just click my mouse and play, i go away. So
i did what i could.

it certainly has interesting news tidbits, much
better than teevee. where's evidence of the
rating system, not those uniform little 0s
is it?
