It's not good for a long-term situation, but peanut butter is a good way to stave off hunger and get some protein without having to chew with a sore tooth (or sore lack of tooth).... It's also cheap and easily portable.

Thought I was going to be late to work tonight. Got to work and nobody was there - turns out I forgot it was a RI State Holiday... Fun Fact: RI is the only state in the US that officially celebrates Victory Day - NOT V-J Day, like everyone calls it, it's never officially been V-J Day - and it's...

Someone on EvilBuy is trying to sell a copy of Casca: The Eternal Mercenary #1 by Barry Saddler for $1400... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: There are several other copies available for around $100 or less. The exact amount they're asking for this copy is rather specific, so it's almost...

My brother lives in a "holler" down in West Virginia or Kentucky somewhere, and he had to run lines up the side of a small mountain from his house to a self-built tower for his internet. He's now basically functioning as an ISP for his neighbors.

Apparently, when my father came over a few days ago, he was futzing around with the light switch that controls the lights over the stove and counter - the switch burned out years ago and the old man removed it, but couldn't remember which wires went to which part of the switch when he went to...

I'm 52 years old and still live in the house my father built the year before I was born. I've been constantly repairing it since I was a child. Nobody needs to move on more than I do... :p

By trophies, you mean the six cords that still work despite being Frankensteined together in multiple places? :p

In other news, the old man came over the house the other day to putter around, and in the course of three hours or so managed to lose his glasses, chop through an extension cord, and mess with the pressure on the water pump enough to un-fix the leak he 'fixed"... Seventeen... Seventeen. That...

Didn't we already have this discussion about how it's illegal to clone hot actresses and supermodels for "entertainment purposes"? :p

Well, it's got a good soundtrack...

As the joke goes, I don't think you'd fit in them...

Well, I am a little bit hungry... Movies that far back? Actually, nope - the compression wasn't good enough to store that much data on one side... The film came out in '91, and dvds started getting made in '96, so it would have been one of the relatively early movies released on dvd.
