      I had my 20th anniversary a couple months ago, interesting to see how I went from being an obnoxious 13-year old to an obnoxious 33-year old, heh

      7 Years for me.  Wow!...Time keeps on slippin',  slippin',  slippin'

  2. 'Racing the Beam' arrived today..read a couple chapters...sudden urge to get back into stella programming...

      The book is inspirational that way. I'm not a programmer, but it inspired me to dabble in Basic a little (i'll have to get back into it soon!)

  3. A land serene. A crystaaaal moon. Aahhh-haaah!

      That sounded familiar. Took me a while to remember where I'd heard it before: http://www.youtu.be/CwVqOs3Aess

      Wow I never knew there was a video for that! That was great. Pretty cool that they integrated the puppets from the movie. Thanks for posting. :)

  4. Bitten by the stella programming bug again. Is there help for me?

      Yes! Right here:

      (That's probably not the kind of help you meant, though.)

      Yeah, more like mental help. I have too many hobbies as it is. :P

  5. Brewing a batch of Weizenbier. Beer makes a good wedding gift, right?

  6. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

  7. Currently playing: Lynx! Just added 3 games to my collection :)

  8. Does anyone else feel the need to chuckle when I say the name of my good friend...Biggus Nosus?

  9. doesn't understand the point of "PM sent" posts.

      It's so everyone else reading the thread knows you've sent a PM to buy something. It's territorial -- the person who posts it is hoping that both A: another buyer will see it and decline to offer until the PM is sorted out, and B: the seller will see your "PM SENT" post first and give you priority on the sale.

      I always figured it opened you up to more competition. And that bumping the thread didn't help! I must have it backwards, lol.

      What Cebus said, and that a lot of sellers don't check their PMs in a timely manner. A bump with a notice helps bring it to their attention.

  10. don't tell the director I said soooooo, but are you safe Miss Gradenkooooo?

  11. Game. Blouses.

  12. Game. Blouses.

  13. Happy Birthday, Gnome! Cheers!

  14. I feel terrible. I bought Call of Duty for PS2 for $4 and the publishers will never see a penny from it.

      Nooooooooo!.....er wait a minute, the Devs got their cut when it sold originally! Screw them. Next thing you know car manufacturer's will want a cut of every osed car sold because your not buying a new one instead!

  15. I just thought of a new color for Crayola: Rediculous

  16. I totally had a dream I was a Ghostbuster.

      lol, no I spent more time trying to adjust the straps on my proton pack only to have to take it off again to get in the vehicle.

      Did you wake up slimed?

  17. In ethology, a fixed action pattern (or FAP) is an instinctive behavioral sequence that is indivisible and runs to completion. - wikipedia

    1. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      So what you're saying is people FAP until they're finished, instead of stopping halfway? Sounds right.

      Wow, I wish we could +1 status update comments!

  18. In life, always take the time to stop and smell a freshly opened Lynx box.

  19. In Windows, why is there an undoable key combo to permanently delete a file? And why is it mapped to the Mac equivalent of duplicating a file?

    1. Rockin' Kat

      That's pretty funny. I didn't know that. But I'm guessing it wasn't so funny when you made this discovery.

    2. Emehr

      lol, no. It was at work and my boss had to redo some changes to a report. He's a pretty good sport, though. I think I was more upset about it.

  20. is excited about the prospect of scientists finding the Higgs bosom.

      @jay, Higgs bosom = God boobs? @Chuck, it's really simple. Everything in an atom is made from light. Some particle, in theory, makes the light in to solid matter. They want to know why we, and everything in our reality is solid with mass. I for one think it is simply a matter of perspective. Maybe they will find it. If they don't, maybe the tree doesn't make a sound if no one is there to hear it. :D

    3. Chuck D. Head

      Chuck D. Head

      Ah. Isn't solid a relative term? Theorically if we ran face first into each other a billion billion times, eventually we would pass right through each other a few times, right?

    4. Christos

      Christos

      @ax, not quite. Particles are what they are, but some have mass due to interacting with the Higgs field.

  21. is gonna need an ocean (or at the very least, a portion) of Calamine lotion.

      Life's an itch and then you die.

  22. is once again rocking a dumbphone.

      Bentley Bear!

      I like my phones dumb... Too concerned about them becoming self-aware or sentient and all dat sorta jazz... The last thing I want to see on my phone is a text message from Skynet telling me I'm a dead man.

  23. It's a fine day for welding.

  24. Just ate an apple and an orange and it's true: they're *nothing* alike!
