My previous modem was so old I honestly don't recall how long I was using it - five years? Seven? I had this current one sitting around for almost five or six months before I finally got around to hooking it up yesterday. Ye gawds what a difference, lol.

Don't have any, but I'll try to remember to take some sometime this week.

I collect the Official 2nd. Ed. miniatures as a separate hobby from my painting. My collection of loose miniatures from those lines takes up five of the old gray Chessex cases packed sometimes six guys to a single slot, and the ones still intact on cards occupy three medium-sized plastic...

I will always have a fondness for the old metal minis from the '70's and '80's just because so many of them had amazing levels of character to them in spite of how simple or bad the sculpts were. (One of my if-I-ever-get-rich ideas is to acquire the rights to a lot of the old Grenadier and Ral...

A Christmas Story is basically the biography of my childhood. There are so many parallels between that movie and my early years (I could show you a picture where I look like Ralphie's stunt double) there's probably a Reddit subgroup dedicated to the conspiracy theories... In my case, though, it...

One year at the Ren Faire a leatherworker knocked $30 off a pair of bracers for me, and they were only $80 to start with... I always check out the vendors at Comic Con and the various other conventions, since there's usually at least one guy with buckets of cheap Clix figures I can hack up for...

1. Newsies 2. Johnny Dangerously 3. Better Off Dead... (right actor, wrong movie)

Nah, back in like freshman year of high school, a "friend" (one of those friends you could definitely live without) was bouncing a basketball off my bedroom wall while we were hanging out. When I told him to stop before my mom came in to yell at us, he threw the ball at my head. I was cleaning...

We all have stories, lol - I stabbed myself in the back of the head for 10 stitches worth of damage while cleaning my fingernails once, and have permanent scars from uncooked rice... :p

Enquiring minds want to know... Edit: Also, let's see if he can name those three movies, lol...

So, just out of curiosity... Have you ever... - Broken out into a spontaneous musical/dance number when throwing papers? - Gotten into an acrobatic fight while throwing newspapers as offensive weapons?* - Chased anybody down the street/up a mountain repeating the phrase, "Two dollars!"...

Only new movie I actually watched in 2025... I missed it in the theaters, but I got it on bluray.

Erm... Eesh. ... ... ... I suppose I could narrow it down to things that contain one or (hopefully) more of: ground beef, cheese and eggs. When pressed on what food is my absolute favorite, I generally resort to snark and choose human flesh as my option... :p If asked what my last meal...

Honestly, if you told me the last couple of years were all just a crappy AI-generated simulation, I wouldn't find it inconceivable....

It's a bit ironic living on the coast in New England, but cheap fish isn't really something you find much around here...
