Summer Holiday

After weeks, months even, of an, as yet still, unfruitful house hunt - viewing properties, filling out & submitting multiple financial forms (Self-employed? Tricky), missing out on our dream home, filling out & submitting yet more financial forms (Non-Citizen? Very tricky), moving loan company & finally getting approval on a home loan, filling out & submitting even more financial forms, and even now still viewing properties regularly (and filling out more forms), it's time for a break, and we're off on our summer holiday.

In the meantime if you are looking for new games try the folks listed to right under 'more games', or brace yourself for a historical tour, and use the new Random Game Selecta to tinker around in the LL archives.

That should keep you occupied until the 29th, when we'll be back from OC. And remember - wear sunscreen.

By Lazylacers :)


I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

Ooh, I can look forward to new stuff here on my birthday then, maybe? Yay! Have a great summer holiday, Graeme.

When I'm looking for a game, I just think of a random word and stick it in the "site search" bar, but the Random Game Selecta ought to make things easier!

I thought this was a link to another game...

I saw that picture and thought, "Wow! Do I get to escape a whole city? Cool! And the graphics look awesome!"

Now I'm sad :(

Oh, really, you picked OC? You should have picked Rehobeth, or something in DE. It's probably the same distance for you, and much less trashy than OC. It could be just that I'm jaded from living on the Eastern Shore though. :D

At Olivia-StuckInEaston :
We actually love the whole Ocean City vibe, but we stay farther up in North OC where it is much more laid back, but still only a bus rid to Seacrets Jamaica
USA and Macky's! But not to worry, we hit Bethany and Rehobeth as well on this trip! Honestly, to wake up ocean side is good just about anywhere imho! :)

Oh, btw, if anyone is ever in Rehobeth, stop by GO FISH, a British owned restaurant which serves the most incredible fish n chips on the eastern coast. Do not leave without trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding, superb. It was dElish.
