You know what I miss... Those school book club order forms and when/if you were lucky enough to be allowed to get something from it.

Those are the best! I would love to see some order forms with TMNT books. I think they had them?

I still have some baseball books I was lucky enough to get from those catalogs. From around 1993/94 I think.

The way my brother-in-law blows his nose like a cartoon character is pretty annoying. And why he has to do it in a shared area like the damn kitchen, esp when he's had a virus... UGH. Fool is only going to give himself sinus infections or other issues doing it like that anyhow.

I don't remember seeing any in the ones I got. I'd probably have certainly wanted them had I. Would have been cool to see some listed.

Though I believe that is where my copies of Scary Stories to tell in the Dark came from. Still have those of course.

Awesome you have those still. Classics for sure. Unfortunately mine didn’t make it over the years.

hard to believe super mario 3d land came out SEVEN YEARS AGO. still seems brand new. where is the sequel?

*IndigoErth* · 01-15-2018, 03:03 PM

As I said on FB a few years ago today...

Why can't all of the different terrorist groups just get mad at each other and solve the whole problem. (Aka wipe each other out.)

*Utrommaniac* · 01-15-2018, 08:53 PM

I was just told by a family friend that a character on the most recent episode of The Good Doctor shares my name. And the actress shares my mothers name.

Thank god I don't have a conjoined twin named Jenny.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 01-16-2018, 03:00 PM

Didn't it used to get dark late december 21st at 3:30? Now it seems to be 4:30. and at 5PM it's light out again. seems to happen earlier.

*IndigoErth* · 01-16-2018, 06:22 PM

Huh?

As it so happens, I just found the perfect TMNT gif for when a post overhead is a tad confusing.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 01-16-2018, 06:25 PM

yeah, i know. badly worded.

shortest day of the year is in december. I SWEAR it used to get total dark at around 3:40. this december it seemed to stay light up until about 4:40. and now late january, it's light at 5PM. I Thought that didn't happen until closer to February.

can you tell I didn't pay too much attention to sun set times before?

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 01-16-2018, 10:01 PM

Nope. Earliest sunset on the Solstice is around 4:30-ish in the temperate zone. And it is between Dec. 20-22. It varies from year to year. Solstice Night happens to be my "Christmas" holiday. #akaSaturnalia

~~Vegita-San~~ · 01-17-2018, 05:48 PM

Normally I don't find joy in people's demise.. but in this case, this guy was a stain on the earth.

Delinquent. Selling anything he could for drugs. stole from our house on at least two occasions. AND sold his dying fathers medication for drug money. and was a general nuisance.

in this case, the world is better off.

Is this a joke? Super Mario 3D World came out in 2013, and Odyssey just came out 2 months ago.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 01-18-2018, 05:36 AM

something a little weird today.

our office has a cleaning company come in.
Having OCD, my office is usually clean anyway, so they don't have much to do other than empty out my garbage can should I not have the time to do it that day. Any maybe run the duster a little bit.

cute cleaning lady comes in, pretty sure she's spanish. I say hello, thank you, she leaves and that's usually it.

Today i'm watching dragbonall Z, Japanese audio edition. all of a sudden she calls all my props a beautiful collection and tells me to have a nice night.

Most words she said she since started. caught me totally off guard. maybe she's a dbz fan. we'll see how many words exchanged comes with next week.

*ProphetofGanja* · 01-18-2018, 12:05 PM

Jesus Christ, did somebody set off a crazy bomb in the Technodrome today? Everybody's got ants in their pants or something

Anyways, chow mein is definitely not as good as lo mein in my book

*plastroncafe* · 01-18-2018, 12:08 PM

What's better:

The Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Or

The Kindle Fire 10?

*sdp* · 01-18-2018, 12:32 PM

I'm not a fan of Samsung products, the pre-installed software bloats the system at least for me, I prefer a more pure android installation.

Kindle Fire's are a modified Android system so at least at first not the entire app store of the play store was available, mostly only the amazon stuff which isn't good.

I'll need a new tablet soon, I have a 2nd gen Nexus 7 but it's starting to show its age, I also want a bigger 10" one to read comics better basically so I'll be doing some research soon on what's a good tablet to get. I was thinking a Nexus 10 but I don't think there's any newer ones so that's a problem.

*Utrommaniac* · 01-18-2018, 12:35 PM

I'm struggling to figure out a computer replacement.

What I want is a desktop that has a touchscreen, but most of those run Windows 10 these days, which I hear is flat-out awful, especially since it forces you to use their web browsers, so I won't be able to use Chrome or Firefox.

Same issue is going on with laptops, but Chormebooks are a tentative option. Not entirely sure how they'd do with Graphic Design.

*plastroncafe* · 01-18-2018, 12:39 PM

Reading comics is pretty much the reason I'm looking to upgrade my tablet. At the moment I have a third hand first gen iPad. Pretty much the only app that still even works is Comixology, which is the only reason I still have it around. But the battery life is starting to show its age.

Same thing with my original Kindle Fire.

I don't have an issue with Windows 10, but then I have it modded to run like Windows 7, so there's that.
