      @jd_1138 French = pomme frites (fried potatoes).  And the French typically credit Belgium for their origin

      I think putting on both Crush games would have been pretty cool...Hmmm...I've never even played Time  Cruise!  I'll have to check it out!

      Mine should be here Sunday if all goes well.  Although an early delivery would be nice.

      GoldLeader - Time Cruise was a different developer IIRC, and it definitely didn't feel like the Crush games. Naxat Pinball was is so good!

      I was going through my PC Engine/TG-16 games today and I really wish they would have swapped Daimakaimura (Ghouls n Ghosts) for 1941 Counter Attack and added Silent Debuggers. The latter used sound so well to let you know where enemies were!

      @x=usr(1536) Only once and it's to to a girl I started dating when I was 16. We are still married to this day.  Here's my guess, you don't know me, and you don't realize my advice is always 100% solid and 100% correct. Follow it, and you'll be golden.

      @x=usr(1536) I'll also mention I retired at age 48, but since you already know I can do things few people can manage, now I feel like you know me.  ?

    Just re strung my electric guitar and tuned it.  Took me about an hour because I haven't played it in over 15 years.  Getting a new amp next week so I can be cool again.?

      While we're all comparing guitar notes, my first electric was a solid body Univox combo with Fender musicmaster bass amp (15w).

      Man, pulling that g-string if I did not sound like Hendrix I must have been delusional!  More proof, years later I taught myself

      the Star-Spangled Banner, complete with distortion and feedback enough to rock a stadium!  These days however I prefer

      to play drums, call me crazy...

      I met the vocalist at NordicFest in Oslo in 2005 or 2007.

       

      He drank a non-alcoholic beer and mentiond responsible drinking.

       

      I mentioned I thought ‘Nocturnal’ was a really cool track.

    Arby's has a new Diablo chicken or brisket sandwich out.  I had the chicken for lunch.  I like some spicy stuff but HOLY HELL!  It didn't kick in until I was about 1/3 through the sandwich, then it got really spicy.  By the time I was 2/3 through I felt like I was eating the Devil's A$$hole!  They give you a small milkshake with it and trust me, you'll need it.  I couldn't finish the last two bites and anyone who knows me knows that I don't waste food!

      I made a Spicy Veggie Chikkin' sandwich in tribute!  Haha...Sometimes ya get a wild one too.  If you ask me,  certain peppers vary in their hotness...Jalapenos can be very mild or very hot IMO,  Ghost Peppers are pretty constant,...I bought some peppers a while back (Can't remember the name though...Kind of like Serrano peppers) But these (whatever they were) said on the label,  "Usually Mild but 1 in 10 are Hot!" ...Found that interesting...

      Figured it out! ...Shishito peppers!...OK, Then...They're mild....Just... had to find that memory...Cheers joeatari1!

      Or perhaps, (following a previous pattern), it is a rhetorical question meant to be read as a sardonic, dry kind of humor in a Steven Wright voice...

      Also, any day now the self driving cars will be so good and safe to use that even blind people can ride in them unassisted. Once it happens, they'll be able to enjoy drive through fast food, ATMs and all other services associated with arriving by car.

      Fun reflection: The "Swedish fish" are virtually unknown as a candy in Sweden. You might find it if you look far into every place that sells sweets, but are as typically Swedish as yogurt with caramelized popcorn are a typical US snack.
