      I only ever played that game once BITD. The mall had it for a little while. It's weird, but cool when you have a memory like that, of specifically playing a game, but only once...I played Tac Scan twice on vacation and Gravitar 3 times...

  2. So, who do you want to win the Super Bowl?  I don't care.  I'm just glad it won't be Green Bay,  Tampa Bay, or Kansas City.

      I wanted Raiders, but...OK so then I thought Bills or Chiefs, as some friends have those as favorites...IDK,  I guess Bengals, but either way.  Lots of Playoff games were Amazing this year,  I hope the Super Bowl is too, but if not the commercials oughta be choice.

      Said to the bartender:  "Best night I ever had"

      Singin' to the bar, had a microphone in her heart

      I said:  "Goodbye, madam.  I'd had better head out"

      I said:  "I wouldn't do it if you poured another beer, uh-huh"

  3. Found out this morning that my cousin died in a car accident last night.  She was about 36.  I'm in shock.

  4. I haven't had any chocolate in 3 days.  I'm not giving it up forever but definitely want to reduce my consumption. Sometimes it's hard to achieve a healthy balance.

      It can be super hard to make a diet change like that!  My vice is soda (or, really, anything sweet and carbonated); I do try really hard to drink more water, though.  :)

      Switch to sugar free soda, digdugnate. It is almost as healthy as water, and tastes almost as good as sugar soda.

      @Albert    Everyday.  You know those mini sized candy bars you get in bags?  I was eating about 10 to 15 pieces a day.

      And sometimes about 10 hershey kisses along with that.  It wasn't really a ton but a pretty good amount.

      I read somewhere the reasons why people panic and hoard something like TP during an ongoing or pending disasters. Surprisingly, walking around with dirty butt wasn't one of them.

      I want snow too, but I doubt we'll be getting any where I am this year.

  7. Thanksgiving will soon be here.  I got invited to my cousin's house so I don't have to cook this year. How about you?

      I don't like turkey, cranberries, yams, etc. so I'm bringing a beef stew in the crock pot to my folks' house.  Every family member lives at least somewhat close to each other but my oldest sister and mom don't come (stupid past family issues, and my mom divorced my dad around 1979).  I'll do a Thanksgiving dinner with my mom the following weekend, either a roast or prime rib and Au Gratin potatoes.

      Thanks Atarian7! Didn't spy anything classic game wise (some Wii and PS3 games is all), but did pick up a lawn spreader, package of brand new Monster Cable 24k gold banana speaker jacks, a Webb Wilder CD, Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles to replace my crappy sounding Columbia House record club CD and a nice little wooden chess set with board. All that for only $11!    ?

      The whole past year has been tough on the property here. We set a record for most precipitation in a year. There has been ponding in the yard which killed off the grass and in came the weeds.

      Do Not Call list used to help, before robocalling took over. Nowadays the best defense Nomorobo and callerID. I rarely pick up the phone unless I know who's calling.

      It depends...how common is it for pranksters to tip over the porta-potty while you're cleaning it?

      LOL derFunk I remember that episode of Seinfeld. Another time the caller said "Would you be interested in a subscription to ___?" Jerry said Yes and then hung up immediately.

      Gotta love the morons who somehow have forgotten how to drive in snow/ice from 6-8 months ago. Skidding through intersections, tailgating, driving above the speed limit. "Accidents", um sure.

      Part of a large collection we purchased; this is likely a reproduction cart created from the original cart and released in very limited quantities in the late 80's. Reproduction cart, Reproduction Label. This is to the best of our knowledge; please understand that with the 2600 there are countless releases and re-releases; what you see is exactly what you get. Nice Example!

    4. BassGuitari

      Likely a repro released in the late '80s? How stupid does he think we are? There are not so many "countless" re/releases that people won't notice when you just make something up.
