Yep!  17 submarines and 3 warships,  which Pepsico acted as a middleman to scrap them...Rubles were not used as currency since the Russian Govt controlled them, (and a Russian Vodka deal fell apart after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan) so this was a deal for payment...HMMMmmm   Ya know Magmavision,   I don't even know if I would have believed this story without looking it up!  

Should've traded New Coke for a bear.

Yeah it's a reminder that corporations are not like a mom and pop business. It's all about assets, cash flow, etc..

Teeth are overrated. Would you like to take a sip of my fried chicken smoothie?

They call me Yuck Mouth! https://youtu.be/jWdNGap4id4

Hell Yeah!! 

I have 2 actually, both red, both have new drive belts, one has a new cartridge slot, and both have longer cables for the built in gamepads.

Mine is black, I think everything is original. Pretty sturdy for being 30+ years old and going across the pacific.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear magician, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you.

Thank you! 

You're one day early.

It's new year's day somewhere.

You heard him everyone, leave all your bad spirits right here, in this status thread. I'll go first: you suck! You're a big poopy head and you stink!

I have not tried making Nintendo broth lately.  The last time I did, I mixed it with SEGA noodles and it turned out poorly.

I have in the past but not currently,  though that rumor of a Switch 2 might have given them a boost..

Not in my neck of the woods, which makes me lucky that I got mine back in 2017.

I once called someone to deal with something strange in my neighborhood.  Unfortunately I can't remember who they were.

No, but try practicing your katakana & maybe you'll send it back.

Sorry. You'll have to learn all of the kanji to get rid of it. Good luck.?

Well as long as you tried...

It was neat to see Shirley Beverly French in Avengers: Infinity War!

@GoldLeader That sounds like either Greed or Birth of A Nation. It was probably Greed though since Birth of A Nation isn't really safe for work.

Maybe Greed...Definitively not Birth of a Nation.

I just looked it up!  It Was GREED!  I remembered the guy was a Dentist in San Francisco.  Good Job!  I can't believe you figured it out!  I watched the reconstructed 4 hour version (processed for Pay Per View on DISH actually)...

BASIC.

I thought I read years ago that Bach was almost a forgotten composer entirely.  Can you imagine?

The first recorded use of the term "classical music" dates to Oxford English Dictionary, c:a 1829. It was meant to canonize the golden age between Bach and Beethoven. While most orchestras probably prioritized playing the latest, contemporary compositions (just like today's popular music tends to dominate the total music consumption), apparently Bach wasn't entirely forgotten by then or otherwise the term would not cover music eras back to his time.

But yes, a lot of music has been lost, in particular those composed by other people than white, middle aged men. For instance many women apparently were just as competent as male colleagues but didn't get performed or recognized as much. While Wikipedia lists ~400 female composers born between 2300 BC and 1875 AD, I imagine a lot of digging has happened in the past 50 years and many probably only small fragments of their production are known.

The Urban Dictionary has a different explanation for the term whale poaching...

Oh no...

Carlsson,

We know THAT ain't against the law in Oklahoma!

(Or nobody'd ever get a date)

Often those are auto booting, so insert disk and power on computer. Perhaps hold down Option if you've got a XE/XL computer and the program is so large that you must disable built-in BASIC.

Make sure you turn on the drive first and wait for it to stop spinning, then insert the disk and when it stops spinning (again)...then you can turn on the Atari.

Otherwise you'll get the words "BOOT ERROR" all over your screen.

I know one person on YouTube that is in the process of making one, and there is also JoEngine for the Saturn.

Depends on how thick it is.

So is the PLA.. common failure, but if yours is good, that's an easy $30.

An old PLA is a time bomb though.

people have paid me to take their commodore stuff... they don't want it in the bin so they offer me dinner and give me the box of Commie stuff...

I ordered 2 GBA battery doors on Ebay a while back for 2 GBAs that where missing battery doors (A white and a clear pink one) so I could sell them... the seller just said send a note of which colors I wanted... instead of getting the 2 colors they were both pink. The seller said he messed up and would send me a white one but it never arrived. 

Yeah that sounds like modus operandi for most sellers.  They instantly marked items "shipped" even if they won't actually be shipped for a day or two.  Kinda sucks, but at least it's something you might need in the future.

As soon as the shipping label is printed it is marked as shipped by Ebay... the seller should have noticed something weird had happened when two different orders of the same item were from the same buyer...

It serves little more than a huge favor to the scalpers of the world.
