OT: waaaaaaay OT....

I remeber some games that ran on 265 colors and used to huge floppy disks. Lets see, Golden Axe, some formula one game and my official first video game was....COSMO!!!! wow i miss that game :-\

265 colors? Try 126 colors....


Ohhh, and my mom used to pop popcorn in a pan with hot oil....

They came out with the airpoppers just in time for college and the freshman "10"....

my first vid game was "pong" on the Atari...of course, it was B/W, we didn't care since it was in the prepigment days.....
How carefree life was, you didn't have to coordinate your clothes....no such thing as "dumb blonde" jokes....

[kjl]

Bah, you (non(math nerd))s are killing me... learn your powers of 2!

256! 128!

I think my first game was Combat, also on the Atari. It was in color, but it was still analog, before they invented ones and zeros, except for keeping score.

Man, I've never heard of popping popcorn over actual fire. Was the world black and white back then, or was everything just black?

That's right Doc. YOu gotta pop in the pan - I can't even call what comes out of the bag from the microwave popcorn.

If you really want to impress a girl try some organic oil, lightly laced with cayenne (if you like your ladies hot or they do), use organic fresh melted salted butter, season lightly with salt - or put garlic in the butter when melting. Lots of other things can be put in there too. Or go buy a bag of flavored mush, that causes cancer to the people who make it, stick it in your microwave and think you are happy.

Sorry guys I feel strongly that micro pop is a product of the devil.

Yes brother, preach it!!!...the devil wears many masks............and bad popcorn is one of them.

(cue evil star wars music as the jiffy pop-death star floats into view somewhere in outer space, in a galaxy far, far away. Lord Vader will use the power of a giant laser to cook billions of tons of bad popcorn that will be unleashed into every solar system in the universe, thereby destroying all that is good and righteous. Who will save us?)

Yes Ken, the world was black. BLACK LIKE YOUR HEART!!!! [Insert evil laugh here]

Are you tired of all those namby, pamby, girly, sissy, completely Wet
"friendship" poems, that never come close to reality?




Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:



1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry mongrel who made you that way.



2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.



3. When you smile - I will know you've finally had a root.



4. When you are scared - I will tease the crap out of you about it every chance I get.



5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to stop your bloody whining.



6. When you are confused - I will use little words.



7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again, I don't want whatever you have.



8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy self.



9. When you eat two cream eggs - I will chant 'fatty, fatty, FATTY'.



This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Why you may ask? Because you are my friend.



Send this to 10 friends, then get depressed because you can only think of two, and one of them isn't speaking to you right now anyway.

**** why bother then... ??



Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body.



So let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.

Air popped, lightly oiled and salted, and add....brewers yeast! Tada, perfect popcorn. Speaking of video games, I had the original home tv game, Atari's pong, the tennis game that wasn't. Trying to play that was a real exercise in patience. Video monitors are better now, but when you had THE game and no one else had it, you were stylin'. Oh, tv may have been black and white, but the real world had better colors!

Dan, I'd have to say that most of my relationships (family, friend, boyfriend) have been along those lines. It has always been wonderful and my trunk has definitely had bodies in it.

[dantheman0177]

I'm not telling where my bodies are....

In fact, I take the fifth. I'm not saying anything on grounds I may incriminate myself!!!!

[ARCrider]

moving friends are good friends

I've never considered asking anyone to help move bodies. Sort of figured it to be a solo job. It would take a really good friend.

[Gleb]

thinking back, pong was my first game too. How could I have forgotten. Actually it was super pong with the 5 different modes. I still have it too. I also had at the same time atari 2600. I got so many games for it and the cool thing is, it still works, unlike the junk cartridges nintendo came out

[Michelle]

It would take a really good friend.

Sometimes you find those in life, in the least unexpected places.

A friend will bail you out of jail. A good friend will be there with you saying "Man, what a night!"

ever see that movie "in the bedroom"?

[skatha]

I'd hate to have a good friend move the body, I've seen "Casino", "Goodfellas", and "The Sopranos" way too often.....


"You know I like you, but the feds are getting too close, don't take it personally"

[Gleb]

casino was an intense movie. the part where the guy's head was in a vice...

[skatha]

Joe Pesci is ALWAYS the borderline psycho hitman!!!!


we are close to 100 pages here....

[Gleb]

you can pretty much take the same exact role from Casino and apply it to almost every other movie he has been in, and you get the same movie.

Its only 33 pages for me.

Not "My Cousin Vinny"

I loved Marisa Tomei in that movie, especially when she was talking about limited slip differentials and how the Pontiac Tempest was different from the Buick Skylark....

you go, girl

[Gleb]

well any mob movie, he plays the exact same role. He is the short psyco guy. I love My cousin Vinny. Also Home Alone 1 and 2 were awesome!

another way to put that is... "a really good friend will be sitting next to you in jail saying "duuuuude... we f***ed up...."

LOL

or suggesting a lawyer......like cousin Vinny

[Gleb]

wow a week. No way is this thread dying!

[skipuppy]

I would actually chance a guess that the silence is good.. it means the women are busy and don't have anything to complain about in terms of male-female relations (or they don't have time to do so which is also good).

[Gleb]

well this thread isn't only about relationships. what else can we complain about? I wouldn't call myself a complainer at all but I really don't like biology. Everytime i take a test for bio its similar to sticking toothpicks under my fingernails.

Click on "Member List" at the top of the page, and then click on "Posts" to sort.

actually, D-Sub is right on Jack's heels but not past him yet, and the highest post count by someone who I've seen announce their female gender is skatha.

[skatha]

And, in my defense...D-sub actually left for a while and had his post count deleted...he started all over at 1 for his current tally....
And, if you don't buy that as defense of my dweebiness, I'm a lone hardbooting, and, actually snowbooting, wolf here in Helltown. My friends do not approve of my lifestyle and I was too embarrassed to even tell one how I dislocated my shoulder 2 Saturdays ago....
You are all I've got......sniff

[Gleb]

why did d-sub leave?
