      I don't know much about the car side of things...

      Not sure, but I've got an internet radio streaming device now that Iclike even less than XM. lol I swear this stuff is getting worse with time. I'd rather have fewer channels with superior sound, but that's not how it works today. And there's only two settings for bit rates on my unit: crappy and crappier. lol

      Sound quality isn't great but I like the convenience of having it in the car. My fave station is First Wave. I'm hoping SiriusXM does something interesting with Pandora.

  3. Bought an GDEmu off ebay. Got tired of trying to win the lottery from the guy in Poland.

      ^ Dreamcast. I'm curious to know how well the ones on eBay work; I've wanted one for my DC for a while.

  4. I hear there is some kind of new bowl to eat soup during supper? It's called a supper bowl?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      No ya got it wrong, my friend....The bowl is for soup. It's called a Souper Bowl.

      Make a Mexican soup out of it and you'll then be seeking Super Ty-D-Bol

      If it had been Man of Steel, you'd want to keep it sealed so the stink doesn't come out.

    4. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      ^ Yep. Yet another "blockbuster" that everyone was talking about when it came out, and which made zillions of dollars, and now nobody talks about it and everyone would just as soon forget it.

  7. Did you know using an ad blocker is considered theft by some web site owners?

      I once got attempted malware on yahoo.com. As far as I'm concerned, adBlockers are protecting my computer. You want to be liable for all repairs tied to your ads, I'll still keep em on. heh

      My site is ad-free. I've had people e-mail me and say they want to put ads on my site but I turn them down.

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Those owners are Time Thieves, wasting my time with their ads and making things load slow...If most sites hadn't overdone it in the first place, maybe we wouldn't have Needed adblockers.

  9. Last friday I went ice camping with my son's scout troop. I can't remember when I colder than that night.

      jd_1138

      On actual ice over a lake? A local family almost died the other night because they all fell in. I guess they didn't bother to measure the depth of the ice. They were fishing. Too bad Mrs Phruby wasn't there to keep ya warm in the double sleeping bag.

  10. Kimberly from Space Ace or Daphne from Dragon's Lair?

      Dialogue I somehow always remember: "Kimberly come in. Are you OK?" 'Oh, sure. I've just been kidnapped by aliens, that's all.' "I'll save you Kimmy!" 'GET ME OUTTA HEEEEEEERE!!!'

      I don't mind Zac Effron, but a "Zac Effron Store"? That's cheesier than a 10 lb bag of Mozzarella.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      So did you "Explore" the Zac Effron store? I did and I found a secret passage behind the cases of Axe Body Spray that led to a secret room with a sofa, a big TV and 20 bags of Doritos!

      Nope. But daughter received a late Christmas card that was addressed to a previous tenant yesterday. She was about to tear it up and bin it but it was tougher than most cards. She opened it up and there was a cheque for £100 inside. So she's trying to get it to the intended recipient.

  18. Ever notice how stores will raise prices just before "sales" where they return it to normal price and mark it as clearance?

      **Update** After I didn't "Buy it Now", a day later I searched, again true story and the price came down a little bit!! Now I bought it!! (In case ya wanna know, it was a DVD of the movie "The Stoned Age", because I have a couple of friends who haven't seen it)...
