I miss Pathmark and the commercials for them done by the late James Karen.

I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere, and he's the ghost of the horse that won last year.

Thank you for reporting this @7800Knight. My Japanese wife, son, and I are all big fans of Mr. Toriyama's "Dr. Slump" and Dragon Quest artwork. We us to live in Aichi-prefecture where he was from and lived. I always wondered if I ever walked passed him at some point during that time, as he was a very private man. Such a shame and a sad day for us all. Thanks again for sharing this with all of us.

I got Pitfall 2: The Lost Caverns for next to nothing at a convention...but it didn't work. Just today, I watched a video on cleaning Atari cartridges so I disassembled it, cleaned the connectors with alcohol, used an air compressor to spray away dust, reassembled it...and it started working! YAY!

@nanochess I know. My copy of Keystone Kapers didn't work. Some isopropyl alcohol got it working right. That wasn't enough for Pitfall 2 so I had to disassemble the actual cartridge. I had never done such a thing before.

I'm watching GI Joe: A Real American Hero from the 1980s and realized something as an adult. It's implied to take place in the same universe as the G1 Transformers and Inhumanoids. That means people would be living on an Earth constantly under siege by a worldwide terrorist network, invading robots from outer space and vicious monsters!!

Ever have a single scene from an all but forgotten tv show stick out in your mind, but have no way to find it? For 38 years, mine have been D'compose from Inhumanoids. When I saw the title in your status update, I knew that was what I have been thinking about for nearly 4 decades. Thanks for helping me put that to bed.

@bent_pin The smoking gun is the character of Hector Ramirez, a reporter. He has appeared in the Hasbor cartoons Transformers, GI Joe, Inhumanoids and Jem & the Holograms.

My copy of Donkey Kong arrived for the Atari 8-bit; love playing it on my XEGS though it's much harder than I remember.

@Jess RaganTell me about it! Barrels hit Mario's head when he's climbing the ladder, killing him!

Guess who is getting an Atari XEGS?
Now I will have access to the Atari 8-bit library.

I got a robot vacuum from Amazon for a good price and took it for a test run last night. It works very good!!

@schuwalkerYes. There is a mop option too. I have yet to try it or run the unit on carpeting, which it can do.

Nearly half of men think they can safely land a plane in an emergency.
How about you?

First ask if there's a pilot on board.
Establish communication declare an emergency.
Relay fuel information, heading, elevation, and air speed.
No matter what, keep flying the plane.
Get your approach vector.
Line up your approach.
Lower the landing gear.
Flaps to 3/4, reduce airspeed to 180ish, begin the decent.
Flaps to full, reduce airspeed to 165, begin your roll.
Keep it lined up and hold on until the rear wheels touch down.
Power down and begin to apply the brakes.
Alternatively, you could put your head between your knees and kiss your butt goodbye.

It's been one whole year since I joined Duolingo to learn Japanese!
My average lesson accuracy is 98%!
I ranked in the top 9% of learners this year!
I learned a total of 168 words and practiced 509 sentences!

After seeing Blondebeard's Chicken Shop in "the Curse of Monkey Island", I decided to get takeout from there delivered to my house.
The ipecac slaw was...memorable to say the least. As the proprietor Captain Blondebeard describes the ipecac slaw: "Not bad... ...but fifteen minutes later ya be hungry again."

Joel Hodgson announced the 2nd movie chosen for Mystery Science Theater 3000 season 14 - Deathsport (1978)!
This stinker features David Carradine and Playboy Playmate Claudia Jennings in a post-apocalyptic world where any criminal sentenced to die must do "Deathsport" - criminals fight each other and the winner goes free! (Wow, that's original.)

I like Tabasco. I just tried Tapatio brand hot sauce and it is good. Sriracha is also on my list of hot sauces to try!

@batari I found some Sriracha locally a few weeks ago. Woot! (Except they were charging $12/bottle, boo.)
Also, check out the hot sauce thread.

A 1995 home office setup - good thing we have much more portable computers nowadays!

I just have a 4 person glass dining table as my desk in my room, with a 32 inch monitor. I have a SFF HP ProDesk computer with a wireless mouse/keyboard. May not be portable like that rolling one the guy has, but I have tons of real estate left on it for a vertical file bin, my bills, a lamp, my camera, and many other items.

Having a blast watching "Dad's Army" - what a sitcom!

"You stupid boy"
Fun show, I'm about halfway thru season 4. It's one of many shows I've imported from Europe - PAL DVDs look much better on modern HDTV and 4K sets than the NTSC DVD conversions we can buy in the states. PAL's picture is comprised of 576 scanlines, 20% more than NTSC's 480 scanlines.

Seriously, if this guy has millions of dollars, he doesn't need to go to university!
