  1. Here's a Tom Swifty I just made up: "BINGO!" Tom yelled benignly. Get it?

      "I'm awake, Don't yank my sheets off!" Tom said with discovery.

  2. The life of a rodeo clown is a painful and solitary existence. I know, for I am a rodeo clown!

      Lol someone was listening to Cartoon Planet. Zorak ftw.

  3. White Castle frozen burgers are much better once you heat them up AND add Bob's secret sauce. Too bad Bob's secret sauce is only available where I am and nowhere else...

      I've come to find that if you want a good White Castle Burger, go to an actual White Castle. Sadly, the closest one to me is near Akron.

      I like to toast them up in the toaster oven!

      We have White Castles but where can I find Bob's sauce?

  5. Just figured out that MS Paint can make icons! Pretty cool!

      That *is* cool. I only knew how to make them with GIMP.

      Yeah, I remember doing that WAY back when emulating arcade games was still pretty new. I would create icons for individual games. Of course, there soon became hundreds of games available, as well as easy-to-use frontends, so there wasn't much need for the icons anymore.

  6. Hey gang? Sick of all the snow? Then come on down to Salem, Oregon, which is apparently a snow-free zone. :(

      No snow in Michigan either. What a strange year.

      No snow down here in North Texas :(

  7. Woke up and my throat started feeling weird, right where my tonsils should be. This does not bode well, not to mention it's annoying as hell.

  8. I just now noticed the turkey is gone! Wonder when that happened...

  9. How much longer is that turkey gonna be on the site?

      Well I dunno then. It isn't there anymore for me...

  10. After fighting with the thing for a combined total of about an hour, I finally changed the furnace filters! Yay me!

    1. Metal Ghost

      Metal Ghost

      I changed mine last week....never ceases to amaze me how difficult it is. For me it's simply because the metal flashing sticks out a bit and the furnace catches on it. Argh!

  11. I got an email notification (apparently) from the USPS saying one of the packages I mailed on the 20th couldn't be mailed. #1: How did they get my e-mail address if I never told them it, and #2 - November 20th was a Sunday, and so the post office was closed. What do I do?

      OK, it's spam. Luckily I didn't open the attachment. Why do people send these things to destroy other people's computers? I could understand phishing, but causing damage to computers is just stupid.

      I've gotten those messages before, too. It's a scam. Delete it without opening it, and if you're running Windows, get yourself a copy of Security Essentials just in case.

      I got an e-mail from a Nigerian prince who wants to give me a million dollars, but he needs my bank account password to deposit the money. What do I do!!!!!!???????

  12. I saw a group of tents outside Best Buy. I said to mom "What is this? Occupy Best Buy?" One of the people in tent must have heard me because he said "Occupy Best Buy!"

      I heard about people camping out at some stores. All this over disposable Chinese junk no less. Some people are very, very sad.

      ^ Meh, if you plan on buying a TV for $1500 but realize you have a small window of opportunity to get it half off, well.. it's probably worth the time and effort, heh.

      Homer can't resist the big game, so he camps out in front of the ticket booth. And his strategy pays off -- he's second in the huge line.

       

      Homer: Heh heh heh, I did it! Second in line, and all I had to do was miss eight days of work.

      Man: With the money you would have made working, you could have bought tickets from a scalper.

      Homer: In theory, yes. Jerk.

       

  13. Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the US on June 26, 1870.

  14. One of my YouTube videos has gotten found out of "matching third party content"...after sitting idly there for more than TWO years!

      And I highly doubt the people who allegedly created the music CARED that it was used on a clip of the Prevue Channel!

      Anyone who holds a copyright needs to understand Youtube is one of their largest assets. I have bought several albums and movies I have found by accident on Youtube. In addition, quality isn't great. It's better than it's been, but I will gladly pay a few dollars for a DVD, CD, or the actual game, over a youtube rip any day.

      I am not a person who frequently sets out to find new music, but I will look up the Streetlight Manifesto cover of "Red Rubber Ball" that was playing in the background of a Halo 2600 playthough.

  15. It could snow tonight! Woo!

      LOL! We could dip below 85 degrees tonight in florida!!!

      Ha....it was snowing last night and this morning on my way to work here. This time of year I like it though....no real accumulation and puts me into a holiday mood.

      I've never even seen snow... :(

       

  16. Good riddance, you stupid POS scanner/printer! I've been having problems with the asshole, now I need to find a new one!

      Yeah, mine just keeps getting the paper jammed in it and/or keeps getting black splotches of ink on the page I'm printing. Now it thinks it's jammed when it really isn't. That is the end of that stupid printer.

      You've been having problems with the asshole and need to find a new one? O_o

      Well, maybe now you're separated by only two dozen degrees from Kevin Bacon.

  18. I feel like I should play the 2600 since it's part of my username, so which game should I play?

      I played Midnight Magic and Lady Bug. I don't have any of the adult ones, and it's not because they're adult, it's because they're so f-ing hard to find!

  19. Argh! I stayed up for 11am Pacific time for the special EAS broadcast and it never happened!

  20. I don't think that doctor should have been convicted in Michael Jackson's death. You know Michael didn't HAVE to obey his orders.

      Amazing how death can polish up a man's reputation, isn't it? Come on people, Michael Jackson wasn't a saint... he had serious issues, and you can't pass those off to everyone around him.

      What Murray learned is how difficult it is to say no to a spoilt child.

  21. AtariAge is back after its daily shutdown at 2am.

  22. wished Sega would have made a ChuChu Rocket game for the Saturn. I bet it would be doable.

    1. Austin

      Austin

      Of course it would be--they did it on the Game Boy Advance, and someone else did it on the Sega CD.

  23. I changed my avatar!

      Well panga should be good for another year or so now.

  24. endured a hideously long update just to play a more recent 3DS game.
