Still my favorite tee-shirt, and perfect for holiday gatherings:

YMMV.
See, and my family sat down to watch and critique the Paris Hilton video together.

I was fascinated by your old sig line. I take exception, however, to your new one.

Sorry if this discussion has already happened. Have been busy working.

Still? STILL? No. Wrong. The nose made her better. She was busted before the job. Bruce Lee's cousin.



After? Better, but she'll never be and has never been hot:

I must have seen a different version. Rick Solomon was clearly visible in the one I saw.

A friend bought a full-size "Off Road" at a B/K liquidation auction and put it in his basement. That game rawked. If I coulda played it drunk in 1984, I would have.

Could not concur more highly with all of the above, except that you omit "TEN YARD FIGHT" from your list, (might it be fourth generation? First generation sports?)

Missile Command was better than Asteroids, and Tempest was better than Defender, but I already knew I was a dork. You forgot the best second generation game ever, though - Robotron 2084. Play it here - http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/robotron

Best later generation games, a tie between Smash TV ("Total Carnage") and Rampage (the gorilla, the monkey and the lizard destroying Wisconsin and Illinois.

As for A Bridge Too Far, the book blows the movie away. Montgomery should be post-humously executed.

That was much better than being first on the test.
Ditto, that. I was half in the bag by the time my classmates got out.

Dude, I think 1 hour eyewear screwed up your prescription again. That says Single Malt, Double matured.

Ooh, baby, you're such a stud. Tell me again how you left your bar exam early. It gets me so tingly. Grrrrr.

(The first person to leave my bar exam failed it.)

Well, it was a line from "Angels in America," which, BTW, I am shocked there has been no discussion of. It cracked me u at the time, but I'm getting bored with it. I'll be updating shortly.

Sorry. Your sarcasm has temporarily chilled my ardor for you. And it's not my fault you failed the bar first time out, so don't go taking it out on me, my little pretty.

The tax nerd always gets the girl.

I think I'll go play some Qix

One of the better memories I have of Christmas is hanging out at college over a Christmas break when I didn't make it home and playing Qix, eating Quesadillas, and drinking scotch.

(Any more threads to tie together?)
