  1. Burger King's Whopper Jr. is hands-down the best burger in fast food history.

      We have a Rally's still in business in my area. My favorite all-time fast food restaraunt was a place called Hot 'n Now. $0.29 hamburgers. When I was young I could eat all weekend on a big bag of hamburgers for a few bucks

      We used to have a place called Checkers in Chicagoland and Rockford... but they're long gone. I think they were related to Rally's. Best damn fries and burgers at one point. They still sell Checkers' fries in the frozen section at the grocery store. lol Funny to see stuff like that from restaurants long gone. Same with Chi Chi's products. Saw something from them the other day.

      Yeah I believe Rally's and Checker's were the same...We saw them in Illinois when we were on tour on the 90's.

  2. I slept through the whole Super Bowl. I guess that makes me the only person in the US that didn't watch it.

      Use your finger to make the dog puke and make sure the vomit covers the diarrhea. The dog will lick up the the diarrhea flavored vomit and your troubles will be over. Don't worry, if you puke, the dog will lick that up too.

  4. So we have a Super Bowl matchup pitting two teams from the New England area against each other. Why can't it be an East/West thing like the NBA Finals? Not many people in the West will care about this year's Super Bowl.

      I really wanted Minnesota in it but I always root for the team with less, if any, Super Bowls. So, go Philly! Quite fitting I'll be making Philly cheesesteaks for the big game.

      USPS guys are notorious for scanning items as delivered before they actually deliver them. They have done it to me multiple times. I always call in or email a complaint. The packages usually show up within 24 hours.

      It comes with a Sega Genesis attached and may have a few games with it.

      The Mega CD (European here :)) games values vary wildly - the FMV titles are not considered valuable at all, while the Shmups (e.g. Robo Aleste and Keio Flying Squadron) are considered very rare and collectable.

      I found the flat Sega-CD model (not the stacked model) to be far less reliable than the CDX (the laser "eye" breaks down). If you can find the CDX, that's a much better pickup IMHO!

  9. I'm confused. Is it the year of the goat or the year of the sheep? I've heard both.

      Aside from momentary Minor things, I think my DISH has only gone down 3 times in 18 years, Due to Blizzard conditions. One time The Dish itself was nearly buried under snow! I stood on a stool + from my sunporch I reached outside with a broom and the picture came back!

      "why is it letting me record cable channels and not broadcast ones?" It's a signal sent out by the channels; the cable channels decided to not send it; the broadcast channels did. https://www.eff.org/am/broadcastflag

  12. I had a choking fit. I tried to eat some pizza but it wouldn't stay down. I must have been in the bathroom for at least 15 minutes until I barfed up a huge wad of something. Then I could eat again. This isn't the first time, either. I think there's something wrong with my throat.

      I always wondered if they ever made the Shuttered glasses for the home like you'd use in IMAX 3D theaters, but in HD? I know they made a CRT version. I saw Haunted Castle in Vegas and I took off the helmet, looked around, and everyone in the theater was trying to grab the 3D tree branches...

      Disable helper and interface. It should bring up the original game's weapon select screen. Either that screen might let the invincibility timer run out. I will dust off the GCN and test it.

    3. Kiwi

      Kiwi

      SoulBlazer, you are correct. The game won't let you bring up the menu when there's weapon on screen. I just tried it on Elecman with Cutman's weapon. Now I have to beat stone giant legitimately ><.

    4. Kiwi

      Kiwi

      I just blew up Gutman with one bomb. Just press Start button to bring up the menu will pause the game, then when you return megaman return from his laser form back into action wait about 5-30 frame then pause again then unpause it. Then this trick will work. Sorry to take up so many comments Atari2600land ><. I hope you will like Megaman. Just kill Cutman first, the Elecman, then use the Elecman weapon to break through the block to get to the magnet beam, this will make Gutman stage...

      carlsson

      If they have free insertion and no unsold fees for the first ~100 items per month, not strange that they would auto-enable Make Offer in order for goods to move and eventually bill for some sales fees. One has to think about that too, eBay is not a charity.
