Were those potatos still in your pack? That SPLAT had the sickening sound of squishy, rotton, stinky spuds cushioning your fall.

Surely our game cannot end with a splat and a smell of rotten potatoes? I'm mystified? Have you landed in a gold mine from which you will float out on the gas from the potatoes, a rich and happy man? Thats too simple. It is now 18.00hrs here and I have to log off to make supper but I don't think I will sleep.

Hmmm, is the thinking here something like all that digging that didn't stop the fall landed our intrepid hero in a gold mine? Interesting!

I see a white light at the end of a long tunnel, and begin running towards it.
My legs drive me onwards and my front legs stretch forwards with each bound. My long ears flop around the side of my head.----- Hang on this is Watership Down. ----- I'm not a rabbit.

I wake with a start!

I am lying in a Hospital bed. I am covered from head to toe in a plaster cast.
I feel no pain! (Just for those of you that were possibly vaguely worried)
A tube leads from the nether regions of the cast into a bottle on the floor, the function of which I will not dwell upon.
Another tube feeds me an endless soup of new adventure games through a drip by my head.

Once a day a nurse comes in and -

No she doesn't just swap the bottles round, that's from Catch 22 and I'm no plagiarist!

She just changes them for new ones.

At last I have ascended to BAAGS level 8.

No more hunting the nether regions of the internet, and rooting through game shop dumpsters.
No more buying up any obscure game I can find.
I am in Gamers Nirvana.--- An inexhaustable supply of new adventures without the effort of finding them.

I am content and my quest is done.

Thanks to all of you that I have met, and have helped me along the way.
Perhaps, if you would like we may, in the future, venture into the real world on a new adventure ( once all the potatoes have been surgically removed ).

For now. Farewell!

THE END

Remember this

Always wear a smile and look on the bright side
Try to make someone else laugh every day (unless you are a naturist -- if they point when they laugh it does your self esteem no good at all)

Thanks for playing along!

I'm still laughing, gordon24, you are a riot!
But I didn't know that at first since I really didn't know what "ratatouille" meant. I had my husband look it up for me on his computer and he found 2 meanings. According to him without the "i" it meant "food" and with the "i" it meant a "rat" and then I got it. Tom had no idea why I was laughing so hard until I explained the game/thread to him.
I will leave you now in the recovery room. Enjoy the autumn flowers even though they are not exotic. I will miss playing this game with you and all the others who joined in. If you care to come back with another fun game thread, I'll be one of the first to cheer!

How do I check in to this hospital?

Thanks for an entertaining adventure!

That was fun Gordon. Please join us in Mixed Bag. We'ed love to have you.

Wonderful Gordon. Many thanks for this thread - I have enjoyed joining in.
