  1. The liquid hand soap at work is way too perfumey. After 20 seconds of washing, my hands smell like a five-star bordello. (Or so I would assume.)

      "My a-hole brother bought her back in September '57. That's when you got your new model year, in September. Brand-new, she was. She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world, 'cept maybe for --------------."

  2. Just a little over 24 hours until Chris Walton's new homebrew is revealed on ZeroPage Homebrew! Tune in on Twitch, Tuesday, 11AM PST. Chris' previous homebrews include: Chetiry, Juno First, Hunchy 2 and Star Castle Arcade.

      I plan to be watching.  Scrummy/TITFOS 

  3. Watching Bob & Doug return from space (no... it's not a sequel to "Strange Brew").

      Watching too! Burn for re-entry completed.

  4. Y'know, if you don't like the idea of wearing a "mask", then just call it a "face bra" instead. Problem solved.

      I saw that CBC had to post an article earlier pointing out that making your own face mask from a padded bra does not make it N95 class, contrary to the myth spread by some YouTubers. It probably is better than nothing if you live somewhere where it is mandatory to cover up, but troublesome if some people think they're wearing a medical grade mask.

      Except bras go on top of the head, everybody knows that.

      Well that should please all those complaining boobies... ?

      I'm not sure whether I should quote Indiana Jones ("I HATE SNAKES!") or Meatloaf ("2 out of 3 ain't bad")... :lol:

      @johnywc  We also would have accepted "Ladders."?

  6. Went to the dentist today. Someone poking your gums with pointy metal things still counts as human contact. I'm calling that a win.

      ...and 3,000 miles away, John also had a dentist appointment at the same time, but it's passed off merely as a coincidence... ;) :lol: 

       

      I had my rescheduled dentist appointment yesterday too, what are the odds? :D

      both should come up with some lottery numbers together, and run a random number generator based/running on the same cpu as your states use for their games of chance.

       

      You might hit it big spending just 3 to 7 dollars each!

       

      I normally don't like any of that kind of stuff unless the odds are known and changing in my favor!

      Are you confirming Jason Momoa for SF3?  

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      If Jason Momoa can't inspire an idea for SF3, then who can?

  7. In a tragic COVID-19-related turn of events, my barber of 15 years... moved to Utah.

    Okay... it's not all that tragic, relatively speaking. Besides, he's been planning it for years. But now I have to get a new barber.

    Although my hair looks so bad right now, I could have the neighbor kid cut it with a weed-whacker and it would only improve it.

      5.5, centered in Searles Valley, CA.    I live up in the High Desert so we felt a pretty good jolt.

  10. Very cool 40th Anniversary interviews about the VFX behind The Empire Strikes Back: 

     

  11. It's 95° F outside. I'm staying inside and having a root beer float.

      My parents' anniversary is coming up.  I had their local grocery store send my dad 6 quarts of fancy ice cream and four-packs of Frostie, Sprecher's, Money Bag (never tried it), and Sioux City Root Beer.  I am jealous of his receipt of my gift this coming weekend :)

  12. Stuck inside? Put it to good use, and check out the reveal of the new Champ Games 2600 homebrew tonight!

      It’s going to be hard to go to sleep tomorrow night. Like the night before Christmas of ‘77, when I was 10.

      Can't wait... it's going to be fun! ? 

  15. Great, now there are "Murder Hornets". I guess plain-old hornets just weren't murdery enough.

      It's making the rounds as a news story,   But I hope they get it out as more of an activist thing;  i. e.  Tell everyone where they can call if they see these things,...Spread the word we need to destroy them before they can take hold.

      You got TP! Top Points in playing Costco Crusaders...

  17. Going to make some popcorn and watch Tron on Blu-ray. Just as soon as my PlayStation finishes updating itself. :roll: 

  18. In the midst of everything that's going on, one of our students at the college where I work still managed to find a moment of creativity and optimism, and got to share it with the world: https://blog.calarts.edu/2020/04/02/character-animation-students-graphic-essay-published-in-the-washington-post/

     

    This is what art is for. This is why I do my job.

     

     

  19. I always knew being an unsocial introvert would pay off. I just had to bide my time...

      Agreed. As I posted the other day, social distancing is my default setting.

  20. Just launched at AtariAge: The AtariVox Club. https://atariage.com/forums/clubs/47-atarivox/

    A gathering place for programmers and a resource for information about developing for the AtariVox.

      I've had one for a VERY long time, for use with the 8-bit Atari computers.  Long before they were being used on the 2600.  Never did much with it, but I'll check out the club.
