Dauber

She's not a gamer! It's okay mine isn't either..

Sorry to hear that

My dad's hip replacement has been pushed back three times now so I get it. He can barely walk due to the pain but it's "elective"....

I don't know, I've rented cars many, many times, and have never EVER had to pay anything extra like that.

Then again, I treat car insurance as a catastrophe insurance: high deductible and low premium because the chances of me paying $1,200 for a mirror are exceedingly less than the chances of me having to pay $1,200 monthly for car insurance for the rest of my life with nothing happening.

I always get the rental car insurance. I just don't want to have to worry about it.

People who don't get the extra rental car insurance are stupid. It saves so much time. You don't have to stop for restroom breaks on a long trip. The insurance will pay for the clean-up.

Well...you're not alone...I had one of those But I'm healthy too

Sounds creepy. Are you sure that was a real nurse and not some alien probing for fun?

I wonder if the doctor (?) who once came up with those exams had a moral dilemma pros and cons of developing the method. Also if he/she brags about it at parties: "It was me who came up with the idea to insert a camera into the urethra! Free drinks on me!"

I've totally had worse! (A cystoscopy)...Where they stick a camera in the ol urethra! ...I'm fine BTW

At least a prostrate exam is short.

"@ls650 Don't most people get general anesthesia for a colonoscopy?" No, at least not that I am aware of. My understanding is that the medical team wants you awake so that they can ask you questions and monitor your general awareness and vital signs. They offered me medical grade fentanyl as a tranquilizer. I took it and I didn't notice much effect. It was not a comfortable or pleasant experience, but a colonoscopy can catch polyps before they grow into colon cancer.

Well that's Noel Redding's tune, but yeah it does.

Electric Ladyland is right up there as the best (aka my favorite) rock albums of all time. It's that or Dark Side of the Moon, they alternate #1 depending on my mood. I've listened to both 100 times and still hear new things.

I prefer Axis Bold as Love.. and exactly that.. you can hear it for decades and still catch new stuff buried in there.

Glad I got mine when I did, £140 with 6 boxed games and spare controller in 2013, they are really starting to get pricey now. Think I need to buy another as a backup. N

How much?

$399 shipped. Thank God for PayPal Credit. Going to try to pay it off little by little so I don't have to dip into my Christmas money. I'll probably get the Mateos cart eventually for homebrews.

Color me sir-prized in this day and age then! Wish more people that are into listening only, were into high end audio.

Admittedly, most podcasters are the amateur variety, like myself, ergo, meh sound quality.

^I thought you guys had decent sound quality...I listened to a couple of your shows on an MP3 player while mowing lawns last Summer. I don't recall any problems.

BassGuitari! HahA! Nailed it! Especially funny since yesterday I was flipping through channels on the commercials of the Raider game, and settled on The Sound of Music for a few minutes...

@GoldLeader: sucks about that Derek Carr fumble/touchback.

^Oh I know! Still, they played their F-ing hearts out, so No Worries!

^haha! Aqua Teen reference! I had not thought of that! Good job Russell!

^Thanks!

LOL

What, no free delivery?

I'm in Chicago do you know what kind of model it is? size?

24-inch RCA. Dark gray.

Awesome news!

1 card that is constantly being paid off helps out a lot more than multiple cards being stagnant

Good Job Dauber!

Great! Keep at it! I like to think of paying off debt as depriving banks of their income. It adds extra motivation to pay them off early.

That's a great feeling . I only have one more to go but the exwife has to pay for that (long story)

Awesome

How long IS the summer break in the US? My daughter keeps asking.

Roughly 10 weeks.

For the teachers that is. More like 12 weeks for the students.

Play your cards? Whats the game: Poker, Texas Hold'em?

"play your cards right" - I see what you did, there!

Once that one is paid off, you will feel like you gained a piece of your soul back.

"Get off on" was used casually where I lived before, but in hillbilly hicktown USA, it was shocking.

You don't need a guide because guess what? If someone took offence to it that is their problem.

... but I bet she's never stolen another shoe.

Congratulations!!!!

what's TGSAP ? (verification method)

congrats

TGSAP = "Twin Galaxies" something "Adjudication Process" or something...it's their new way of recording scores. What you do is submit a video of your gameplay and include as much proof as possible that the settings are right, etc., and then other members of the forum can decide whether or not your score is legit.

Brad Pitt.

That is all.

When the Port-A-Potty is occupied..

Arm Pit. That is smell.

Well, my mother-in-law is visiting from out-of-state, and she's one of those people who's always cold. When we go to her house in the summer, the thermostat is up. The past few days she's been bundling herself up quite a lot. Yesterday morning I woke up VERY uncomfortable, and sure enough, the thermostat was jacked up several notches.

To be fair:

1) My wife and I do semi-sneakily bump HER thermostat down when we're there.

and

2) My wife...

You could make a burglar alarm with a string attached to the thermostat. http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/burglar.html

Get rid of your mother in law.

My Intellivision came with an old peanut in the controller bay. You never know what you'll get. I'd be excited, too.

Makes a good doorstop

Because.. the 7800 is a great-grandfather?

Thanks! I'll need it. The house high on Turbo Ms. is something like 551,000, and my high is around 456,000...

Just saw Scott's post...looks like you were a little short? Still a hell of a score though.

Yeah....I was the only one at the arcade for most of the time I was there, so I didn't ask him to set up the stream; I didn't want Scott to go through all that trouble if nobody else was there to attempt a record. Still, it's my highest score so far, and I made it to a bit over 238,000 before I lost my first life.

Your points are well made. I respect your opinion. I respect the facts you list. Let me give you my view. I was only 11-12 when it came out. In my childhood feelings, I was robbed of my months saving money. It was a slap in the face. WTF is this?

As an adult, I know there is more to it. Your blog confirms that in detail. I am happy to know it was a proof on concept, and the programmer voiced it was not ready yet. It was the suits. I can understand that more. They underestimated th...

I know I played the hell out of 2600 Pac-Man, happily and blissfully so. It wasn't until MsPac came along that we realized what we were missing. And then when Colecovisin came, and Donkey Kong, that's when we really noticed and jumped ship for Coleco.

P.S. Two-switch woodgrain?

Brian R. -- the reason I had to post my thoughts was simply because the topic KEEPS COMING UP HERE. So instead of retyping everything every time it's posted here, I can just post a link to the blog page.

And whoops...make that FOUR-switch! Sorry about that...

good luck with that

There's a better chance of it happening with the turbo version... but does the 7800 version in PMC have it???
