    First kidney sold to a Brazilian buyer. The amount of money I made has persuaded me to part with the other one as well. It's going up on eBay soon as well.

      Don't you need a kidney?

    2. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      Pfft! Kidneys are for the feckless. The constant toilet breaks when they should be working.

      Once you put the third kidney up on eBay, people are going to start asking questions. ;)

    Fixed a Logitech G29 steering wheel yesterday. No idea what I did.

    Four hours' sleep. That's gonna sting by the end of the day.

      When that happens to me I'm usually good until about 4 or 5pm, then I definitely crash.  It depends, and sometimes I get a second wind.  I have learned over the years to not overcompensate with too much extra coffee - the crash is twice as bad.  Hang in there!

    Fun Fact: The Welsh national anthem owes its existence to the United States.

    1. GoldLeader

      Very Curious.  Personally I  think we should have waited until the invention of rock and/or roll before doing a national anthem.

    2. Tickled_Pink

      It was written in response to the author's brothers trying to persuade him to emigrate to the US like they had done. The Welsh national anthem is probably the Guns'n'Roses "Don't Cry" of national anthems, with the loud heavy chorus coming in at the end of a ballad.

    Fun fact: When Lord Nelson died, he was 5 feet tall. His statue in London is 15 feet tall. That's Horatio of 3:1.

    Going to dig into my pockets for a BL Touch for my Ender. Nothing seedy in that at all. Wash your brain out with acid.

    Goldfinger finally got his wish. ?

    Googled "Florida man" and my birthday. Got "Naked Florida man arrested after stealing pair of crotchless underwear, tells police he's Michael Jackson." Florida sounds like a fun place.

      @GoldLeader- Clarify. Who was dressed as a minion? The guy being punched or the guy doing the punching? One is only slightly less bizarre than the other.

    3. GoldLeader

      Lessee, it said, (and I now quote) " A Florida man was sentenced to 10 days in jail and "moral recognition therapy" on Monday as punishment for attacking a worker dressed a "Minion" character in Daytona Beach. "   I know...WTF?

    4. GoldLeader

      I didn't really click on it, but I think it could have been a Disney World character or someone who dresses as one and poses for pictures with tourists and kids (usually for tips)...

    Got a composite cable for my XLs from Retro Computer Shack on eBay. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but impressed with the overall build quality.

  11. Tickled_Pink

    Got a text message earlier saying that sales of the premium tickets for the 2020 Grand National end tomorrow. Not sure if it's a scam ... ?

  12. Tickled_Pink

    Got my first Victory Royale. I'm now officially a member of the unwashed demon spawn from hell ... a Fortnite player.

  13. Tickled_Pink

    Got my second ever Victory Royale in Solo on Fortnite in bizarre circumstances. Looks like the other two guys left killed each other. ?

  14. Tickled_Pink

    Grandchild no. 3 on the way. That was a well kept secret. Probably because daughter knows her mother couldn't keep a secret if her life depended on it!

      Congrats!

      Yep!  Congratulations!!

  15. Tickled_Pink

    Grandchild No. 3 popped out earlier this evening. Don't think daughter's done yet, though. Always said she wanted four.

    1. carlsson

      Congrats! I hope she's done for this time, or is she expecting more children to pop out right now?

    2. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      I don't think so. ?

  16. Tickled_Pink

    Had to stop myself from shouting "YESSSSS!!!!"

      Ah, but the real question is, how many times were you unsuccessful?

      Yet

    Has anyone else noticed how Leia is a princess despite her adopted parents seemingly not being monarchs? Maybe that's why Lucas introduced "Queen" Amidala to show that royal titles don't mean the same thing in the SW universe.

      Isn't that Monopoly where you end up in 2nd place in a beauty contest? But yeah, I figure there are Star Wars themed Monopoly games as well...

      There are many versions officially released Monopoly games

      Ya know, I woke up today all nicely unconfused...Now less than 8 hours later and I'm trying to decide if I should reread your Status Update or not...I think I'm gonna watch Bob's Burgers instead.

  19. Tickled_Pink

    Have you spent $20,000 of your parent's savings on Fortnite Twitch streamers today? If so, the media would like to talk to you.

  20. Tickled_Pink

    Having a social media clearout. You're gone ... you're gone ... you too ...

      It sounds like you're doing it in Oprah style:

       

      You're getting eliminated from my friends list! And you are getting eliminated too! And YOU are getting eliminated! Actually all of you here today will get kicked off my friends list!

  21. Tickled_Pink

    Having a surprising amount of fun with Batari Basic.

    Here in Wales we rap battle horse skeletons to keep our alcohol at Christmas. It's trick or treating ... but late and with songs.

      And we have a winner. Basically someone comes to your door dressed as a skeletal horse. They then start singing to be let in. You then have to sing back why they can't be let in. And it goes back and forth until you have a winner. If the horse wins, he gets to come in and raid your fridge.

  23. Tickled_Pink

    Hmmm ... £50 for the new Star Wars game or £15 for a month's Origin Premium account, including the new Star Wars game?

      I don't play many modern games, so it is graphically impressive to me. Also nice to have a single-player Star Wars adventure to play. I've only played a little ... enough to still be within the refund period. I hear it gets samey as you progress. 

    3. MrMaddog

      Subs like EA Access & Game Pass are good for trying out the latest games w/o wasting your hard earn money on buggy preorders.  And if you do happen to like the game, you can 'own' it for a discounted price...

    4. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      I've just played an hour of it and, yeah. It seems very similar to the Force Unleashed games. Pretty much what I expected.

  24. Tickled_Pink

    Holy Crap! Just read about Chadwick Boseman! ?

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      And he was one of the better cast members of the MCU...

      And a really nice guy in real life from all indications...R.I.P.

  25. Tickled_Pink

    Holy crap! What kind of backwater do most of you guys live in? You don't have pies in the US?

      I was watching some Kids react videos last night and got triggered by some of them not seemingly understanding the difference between pastry and bread. ? But I have to admit those kids had guts ... literally. Some liked haggis!

    3. x=usr(1536)

      x=usr(1536)

      I'd be curious to see how they react to black pudding.  Have found a couple of sources for it here, but it's difficult to find people willing to give it a shot.

    4. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      I was thinking the same thing. Especially once they found out what was in it. But these kids will try anything.
