    I'm reading some old threads with banned members in them.  Now I have William Shatner, Hello Kitty, and Rick Astley stuck in my head!  Thanks for entertaining my brain Atari Age!

    Thank you Geico for having RATT in your commercial.  Now listening to a Youtube stream.  I forgot how good these guys are.

      Great commercial that also plays homage to the video. That whole album (Out of the Cellar) still holds up well today.

      I am not the beholder of the eye, but I too have done the math.  The cube root of 7800 is only 19.8319248 which puts the 7800 squarely behind the Jag-U-Are in ultimate awesomeness. And speaking of squarely, 64 squared is 4096 and I know this because I calculated it through The Eye of The Tiger.  Being the Survivor that I am, I did these calculations at about 25 or 6 to Four in the morning with an empty glass of bourbon in hand and cookie crumbs in my umbilicus.  And did I mention that I was in Chicago?

      @7800Knight, no but I do have some Pina Colada mix from Trader Joe's somewhere in the house.  Does that count?

      FWIW,    in tribute perhaps,  I am drinking a half orange juice, half Pina Colada over some crushed ice with a dash of pineapple juice/chunks, and some maraschino cherries and juice...

      Not interested in selling right now.  Needs to be cleaned and tested first, then I will make a decision.

      When BK first launched in my (Canadian) city in the late-1970s, the fish sandwich was called the "Whaler". A friend of the family utterly loved them; me, not so much. Personally, I miss the Big King.

      @Rick Dangerous but my name is Joe.?

       

      @Rogerpoco it's not a bad sandwich.  It has a couple pickle slices, some lettuce and sauce.  I put cheese on mine and it was good.  I would rather have fish from Bonefish Grille, but then again who wouldn't.

    Wife update:  She is home from the hospital and resting comfortably.  After many tests and much pain the doctor diagnosed her with a pulled muscle in her ribs.  Hopefully she will be better in a week or so.

      I was actually a moderator for NEO-Flash at the time, so the name DID come from gaming, but not SNK!

      So I'd have to name it Flash!

      I haven't had it this bad ever!  It's been since Tuesday night and I am still not 100%.  I have had it last a day or two tops and usually I am right back on my feet again.  The digestion part, dizziness and fever lasted a day and a half but my gut still hurts and I am mildly dizzy still.  That said, I've only had food poisoning two or three times in the past so I'll count myself lucky there.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Damn Joe!   I hope for a good recovery from here on out! At least it won't take months like a pneumonia I had.  You might try drinking some Gatorade.  Hydrating and electrolytes etc. can really be helpful.  Godspeed!

      Thanks guys.  I have a low grade fever and I'm extra snotty.  Otherwise not so bad.  Hopefully I can fight it and get back to normal (or at least as close as I'll ever get) by morning.
