Sayings and their geographic areas

[LochnarITB]

I saw this smiley and I decided to finally go find the answer to "Where do they find these smilies?" I, of course, headed over to Google to search on smiley collection. The first item on the list was Jason's Smiley Collection. I spent quite some time looking at the collection there and then found some links to other sites at the bottom of his terms page. I explored a couple more sites finding a lot of fun smilies, and quite a few stinkers too. One of the sites that it pointed me to was Mazeguy Smilies. There were many good smilies and there was also an online tool for generating speech balloons to add to the smilies. Along with his smiley collection, he has his More Mazeguy page. This one has three gems to check out. The first is Cool Dude. Its a Flash cartoon about a bungee jumper. When you load it, be sure to play the Cool Girl's Bungee Blast game on the intro page. A simple but fun, clean, well done game good for a few extra minutes of your time. The second gem is RC Racing. Its another simple game racing one of seven cars around one of six small courses. Your little car responds quite well to the keys and you get used to the control quickly. Check out the course with the neon blue center for a fun little surprise. The last gem is also Flash, like the others, and is my favorite. It is Bash and Smash Demolition. It is a little different take on breakout. Again, it is simple but clean and well done. I quit after the first 10 levels because I had already wasted too much time on my "smiley journey". Check these out. You might find yourself wasting too much time also.

It was over three hours ago that I headed over to Google. I get back here to the Lurker Lounge and find the thread on using Linux. Oh great! See you in another few hours...
