  1. I'm in a Rodney Dangerfield mood today, RIP. Thought up more one liners he could use if he we're around today.  "My wife's cooking is so bad our kids go running around to the neighbors and beg for leftovers!"  "One time I had a piece of meat that I could't eat so I tossed it to the dog...he tossed it back!"   "Awhile back and I put my plate on the floor for the dog and he bit me!"

      Another one: "My wife said she wanted to have sex in the car and she wanted me to drive!"

  2. Casual gameplay only of Xenophobe (7800) on the 2600+. I was spoiled by the excellent Lynx port, so this never got a ton of play. Lack of character choice and clunky controls make this somewhat hard to recommend. But it does fill a gap in the 7800 library.

      The theme to Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini or Duane Eddy is great to listen too while playing this game!

  6. Working on a Vectrex.  Waiting for some LM379 chips to arrive.

     

    You mentioned it worked but "Got full defection back but have retrace lines and bright spot in center."

     

    No way it was just the brightness turned up, was it?

     

    thanks.

      Tried that, wasn't it. Haven't worked on it since. Might be in the Z amp.

  7. Here it is, Saturday afternoon, and I'm all set to watch the Mariners spring training baseball. Nope, can't do it! Only way to watch it is to subscribe to Fubo! Root Sports is busing interviewing the cook for the Seattle Kraken hockey team! What is WRONG with this picture?

    1. SoundGammon

      To be fair, Root Sports was going to air a live NBA game with the UTAH JAZZ. A live REAL game has priority over warm-up games!

  8. seriously, fuck USPS. there I said it

      I've heard a lot of complaints about FedEx. One guy told he was watching out his front window and saw the FedEx truck pull up, the driver got out and walked to the door, with NO package, and put a sticker on the door that said they "TRIED" to deliver it. Not the driver's fault, but FedEx, as they want all the deliveries completed and when they have TOO much, they can't do it and the drivers find "shortcuts" to say they made ALL their stops!

  10. Watching Real Genius on AMC, commercials outrun the movie! Channels like this ruin cable tv!

    1. SoundGammon

      SoundGammon

      They use to play Frasier on the Hallmark channel and I noticed that they were cutting out footage for more commercial space! I never had to PAY for it when it first ran on FREE tv! And all the footage was there! I bet they're still scratching their head wondering why people are streaming more! I can watch complete episodes of Frasier on Paramount+! I pay for Paramount+ and get the FULL episodes and pay for cable and I don't!  Also, NO Paid Programming on there! I just rattles me to no end that they expect the customers to PAY to watch commercials!

  12. Ooh boy now we know there's high levels of heavy metals found in chocolate. good job FDA for letting us know, oh wait, it was Consumer Report who discovered it

    1. SoundGammon

      SoundGammon

      The former head of the FDA got paid to put aspartame out in one week!

       

      Funny how they classify it as an artificial sweetener!

       

      Maybe I could slip some money into someones pocket and get anti-freeze classified as an artificial sweetener!

      So, it seems anything approved by the FDA has heavy metals in it, right?

       

      Be leary of anything approved by the FDA!

  14. For our Pal @SoundGammon Another fun Garfield strip request for him. The add on Odie thought bubble was done by someone off the internet. Thank you for reading them and to all the rest of our members. :D

      Thanks! My grandson, who has autism, loves to read Garfield strips out loud and provides the "voices" for the different characters and he finally got to see a strip with Odie talking! Yep, he did a new voice for Odie!

  18. James Morgan was named CEO of Atari in 1983

    1. SoundGammon

      His taking a 3 month vacation didn't help Atari! He should have jumped right in and started to get everything back on track, but he waited and then it was too late to do any good!

      It sucks being the same age as old people!

      Where I am we're getting down to -18 below Thursday morning!

  22. I have had a bad cold the last few days with lots of drainage, coughing, sore throat. No fever though, so I didn't suspect COVID. I broke down tonight and used one of the 4 tests the gov't mailed everybody (if you sign up). We just got ours a few days ago. Basically, you fill a small test tube with a testing solution (about a few milliters) then swab the inside of each nostril for 15 seconds (making 5 passes against inside about 3/4 inch deep within the nose). This feels horrible when you're sick. Then you stick it in the test tube solution and stir it about 15 times then squeeze the end of the swab at the bottom of the test tube a few times to get as much material out then recap it. Then you squeeze out 3 drops (through a smaller hole under a smaller cap) onto the inlet hole of the test strip. Then wait 15 minutes and read the result. One line means negative, 2 lines means positive. Luckily it came out negative. I see these tests for like $10 at drug stores.

      Best thing for a cough or sore throat is raw pineapple chunks!

       

      There's an enzyme in it that works 3 times better than cough drops!

       

      I get fresh cut-up chunks at the store in small tubs from the produce department.

  23. There are about 180,000,000 telephone poles in the U.S.

  24. Only on Paramount, takes all day to watch an hour show! 20 commercials every break!

    1. SoundGammon

      SoundGammon

      Just figured it out!

       

      Paramount runs tons of commercials on cable maybe to get you to buy their streaming service!

       

      Clever!
