Oh and if Erotica wasn’t a big enough clue, it’s NSFW.
Could it be that most guys are visually attuned and most gals are verbally stimulated? I know it is a generic principle but I seem to recall several studies in my sex psych classes.
Hmmmm.
Supposedly the male gender is much more visual, but I think it always depends on the individual. I know for a fact that mental stimulation is my primary go-to.
LOL. I self edited before because I was going to say the same thing. Both are mental activities though. But yes, give me wit over muscles any day.
Hmmm I suppose they are both mentally supported, yes, but just seeing something isn’t enough mental stimulation for me. I need conversation, emotion, and actual firing of all systems in order to appreciate anything of that nature.
All I need is Van.
Van! Van!
Van, is all you need.
Stay on target!
Back off…
” You don’t have time to think up there. If you think, you’re dead.”
I think if you look at the Darwinian reproductive objectives of men and women, you find a correlation with the type of erotica they seek. Males wanting to deliver as much genetic material as possible and females choosing the best suitors vying for her attention.
There you go Rhettro, just spreading your love around. 🙂
Some probably will, but others will only freak out when they are made aware of it. I remember when the chicken restaurant that begins with a C changed from peanut oil people freaked out. I had to do the post change consumer study. Yay me.
So I wasn’t terribly impressed with the first episode of Dark Matter. It picked up a bit towards the end of the episode, but it was one trope after another.
Writers: let’s get every scifi cliche we can shoe in.
You felt that way too? 🙂
Hey,
OK,
By the way,
I have to say:
Earlier today,
That play-by-play,
Was a great display,
Of talent from Ry-ah.
So this week I finally finished off the first seasons of Gotham and Forever.
There was lot of mediocrity in Gotham but still interested where S2 will go.
Forever ain’t coming back, hated the narration but was starting to enjoy the episodes as the season drew to a close.
Did you get the feeling that Gotham ended the first season at a weird place? It could’ve just been me.
I also enjoyed Forever, but yes the narration could come off a little pompous at times.
They made some strange decisions in S1 of Gotham.
Morning Pan
Today I’m going to blame it on the rain.
It takes a special kind of fucking hate mongering monster to pull off what happened in Charleston yesterday.
Honestly, I’m still trying to sort through the reports and social media opinions to figure out what happened. I have the basic fact, but nothing else.
..and the conspiracy theories have already started. They claiming his skin and hair colour are lighter in his ID photo than on the CCTV footage.
Yeah so are mine… that doesnt mean schizz. People seriously make me ill..
So horrendous and unbelievable
Our species sucks.
In better news – here’s my pick for cover song of the year so far
We finished OITNB. Now we can focus! Next up: Sense8
Im only 6 eps in of Orange. Loving it tho!
I havent gotten past the first ep of Sense8. Snooooooze
I might have to watch episode 2 again.
Cough
We’re still working on Peaky Blinders.
Our inability to get through a 6-episode season is a reflection of our limited free time, not the show’s quality. I’m seriously loving this show and the hats they wear. Cillian Murphy has never been better.
Once that’s done, we can consider OITNB season 3, Orphan Black season 2, Vikings season 2, the latest GoT, Arrow, etc.
And Sense8. I still believe in the Wachowskis.
We’re caught up on “The Americans,” “Homeland” and “GOT.” Currently rewatching season one of “True Detective.”

I don’t understand people. Hubby’s boss came to him and asked him to go to New Orleans… tomorrow. This would have been a week long trip. Now we will see what happens since hubby said no. One day was just too short of notice for a trip that far and that long.
That is nuts.

Reporting in from a mid day break at Disney World.
Who tokes up at a Tim McGraw concert, during a country version of Tiny Dancer??!! geez. Weird.
Although times are changing as far as that goes. I saw Rush last month and someone lit up in the row in front of us. The people next to them went ballistic and insisted they put it out. Then the guy behind me leaned past me and asked the guy that lit up if he could have the joint because it would otherwise go to waste. Then the people next to him went ballistic. Crazy.
Yup. You dont need a “reason” to smoke anymore.
In a different musical genre… I was excited to begin “Birth, Life, Death, Metallica”, which is billed as a no-holds-barred account of the band’s early days. I had about 15 different “oh please” moments in the first chapter alone, which calls the Black Album “uncompromising” and claims that the band is still pushing the musical envelope today.
Let’s hope the gushing and bullshit stop when the book finally starts in on their actual Bay Area early days with Mustaine.
I may have thrown up more than a little in my mouth… everyone knows that the Black Album in the Mason-Dixon line of their catalog.
-in +is
Yep.
The book cited that Lou Reed travesty as one of their recent bold moves. I will agree that it was “decidedly uncommercial.”
“bold” is not synonymous with “good”

On ordering a new electrical item, my CC was initially refused, when I phoned the company they said it was because I had used my desktop rather than the laptop.
Thing is, both my laptop and desktop use go through the same router which should only show one IP address on the internet…so WTF!
I thought IP addresses were unique to individual computers, and not to the routers.
Partly. They are only unique within the network they are on. The IPs can get translated as messages get sent to different networks, which is something that routers and gateways do.
I think Ill keep you

I suspect the fans are no longer cooling the CPU+GPU properly. the vents in the laptop not blocked, and I’ve tried blowing air through then to shift dust.
Oh and that moment of despair when you see tweets from Americans claiming Sally Ride was the first Woman in space..that.
I assure you that that kind of ignorance doesnt just reside here but yeah, I get your point
Commies don’t count! ‘Murica!
One of the tweets was from a Repulican politician who should have known better.
Who? I wanna share in the fun
@RepDelBene: 32 years ago #OTD, Sally Ride broke one of the highest glass ceilings by becoming the first women in space. #WomenSucceed.
#womensucceedpoliticiansfail
Also, at least they arent all ignorant…
Rep. Derek Kilmer @RepDerekKilmer Jun 18
#OTD Sally Ride became the 1st American woman in space – we should continue to lead the way in #space exploration.
Although the last section is laughable. ‘We’ havent lead in a long time
I’m impressed that one person can become the first women in space.
That’s one small step for woman, one giant leap for women..
Every reputable and un-reputable news source – “The Charleston killings were clearly a hate crime”

Good afternoon Pan.
We saw Kingsman last night. It was a fun movie.
Tonight, we are having people over for gaming.
I saw something about you and hubby each buying new games?
Yup. I got Terra Mystica and he got Race for the Galaxy.
We might try Race for the Galaxy tonight if we have time.
I get Dark Matter, it’s Blakes 7 with better SfX and less interesting characters.
Enjoyed the first episode of Killjoys, that is all.
I’m looking forward to seeing it.
And now the F*n washing machine has broke.
Got an email from Ello stating that they now have an app available.
Lost the password and not sure I can be bothered to install it.
I’ve heard this before in a couple other places, but what do you guys think about the Star Wars Ring Theory? Does that excuse any problems you might find with the movies? http://www.starwarsringtheory.com/
I love that the author cites Red Letter Media as a source. I only made it to the end of page 1 (of 9!? On the internet?), but I remain skeptical.
With some of those I don’t know whether it’s more disturbing that people thought of the idea or that he painted it so well. Others are just plain brilliant.
“Americans can and should denounce the racist and gun-crazed culture that shamefully resulted in nine corpses in Charleston this week, but they also need to dig deeper. At the core of all of this dysfunction is an abandonment of reason.”
This isnt a reboot. This character will be incorporated into the Marvel universe films and I dont believe they will be doing a reboot film.
Plus they only rebboted Hulk once… so I dunno
I’m a little tired of Spidey. I’d like to see some different characters get their chance on screen.
ROM: Spaceknight being the most desirable.
Understood but being able to see Spiderman and the Avengers together in film finally is really what its all about. Im all for a ROM as well
Agreed. I wish Marvel had movie rights back for all their characters.
The Spider-Man problem as I see it: of 5 films for their most beloved character, only 1 was really any good (The Doc Ock movie). The rest are bad-to-ok-at-best.
I’d love to see them get him right.
Ditto for the Hulk. He’s been well-used in the Avengers movies, but otherwise, his film career is pretty meh.
I’m one of the ones who defends the Ang Lee film.. but whatev. I also think the first Spidey was a good film. The 2nd was a classic, and the 3rd and the 2 reeboots were shat. But none of these were Marvel’s fault. They probably watched on in horror as we did.
I liked the Ang Lee film even though it was probably too long. The real problem is that it wasn’t what a lot of the fans wanted, so it suffered from misplaced expectations. And I agree about the Spidey movies.
I generally liked both Hulk films, but agree the Avengers versions where best.
I would rate the first Spiderman movie really good, the second one almost perfect (except for the botched heroic powers being linked to confidence, bah). The third one was a stinker.
The first reboot was actually not so bad, just tainted by being the second origin story in four movies. The last one was shit.
ditto that’s one reason I defend it. It wasnt Hulk smash all time and that was fine with me. The comic is closer to that one. Was anyway.
I was so onboard with a gifted filmmaker like Ang Lee taking a philosophical, psychological approach to the Hulk. Such rich source material! Unfortunately, I just found his movie dull, with no payoffs in depth or action.
The best pure Hulk movie to this day, IMHO, is the original Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno pilot. No really! It was actually pretty good.
Just stop there. Don’t watch the series. Don’t watch the one where he meets Thor. Just don’t. Leave that in your childhood.
I’m too tired to care.
I own that one… the Thor special that is. It. Is. Remarkable.
That has been my experience as well. Even before 2014, they had a higher failure rate than their competitors. I’ve stopped buying from Seagate all together.
If I had populated my NAS with SSDs of the same size as the HDDs I have installed now it would have about 4 times the cost.
Actually more, since I would have had to buy a more expensive NAS enclosure as SSDs top out at 1 terabyte so would have needed to install 4x1TB SSDs for the same amount of storage as I have now (2x 2TB HDDs).

Isn’t it Bronson?
Remember reading about it at the time but never got round to actually seeing the film.
It is Bronson, yes.

That is an amazing factoid.
peaky Blinders is set in Birmingham not London.

Crap joke for the day:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto were camping in the wilderness. After they got their tent set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,”‘Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?”
The Lone Ranger replies, “I see millions of stars.”
“What that tell you?” asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for aminute then says, “Astronomically-speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time-wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically,the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you,Tonto?”
“You dumber than buffalo… It mean someone stole tent.”

I’m thinking of getting a PS4 this week, just wondering if I should wait for the new 1TB model or just go for the standard and upgrade down the line.
A lot of the newer games take up a lot of space: 40-60 GB. But, you can always upload your saves to the PSN cloud and delete the game if you need the space. I also read somewhere about being able to backup to an external drive.
Doubling the available drive is nice, but not super important imo. It depends on how much admin you will want to do in the future: a little bit, or a little bit more.
I’m totally digging the PS4, the Xbox One on the other hand is barely being used. Looking forward to getting the new Batman game today for the PS4.

A happy couple sitting in a pew
Pregnant she is, one of the few
Children are a blessing, the neighbour’s say
Until they star talking. It’s just the way
The couple they argue, she just doesn’t see
Children put a cramp on his residency
A giant box his gift to her
A creepy doll, makes us go brrrr
Oh my god, she has many such dolls
All on a shelf, hope none of them falls
Come the night, the wind does blow
We see a doll’s silhouette in the window
Murder most foul the neighbour commits
Hubby goes out, he needs to check it
Yeah I know, I was pushing it for this one
Calling for help, death next door
Blood an carnage on the floor
A strange woman in her house
Whispering quiet like a mouse
The happy couple is attacked, ther is blood everywhere
Luckily for them, the cops are soon there
Is the baby ok? a lot of fuss they make.
As Annabelle the dead girl, holds her namesake
If it come a choice, the mother does say
Save the baby over me, any day
The sewing machine starts, on its own in the night
Hubby holds his bat, they had such a fright
I unplugged he says, all is ok
But the doll has moved, in her spot she did not stay
The chair starts rocking, all by itself.
Wife sees the doll, not on her shelf
Mustard and pickles, the wife does eat.
Pregnant women think it’s a treat
Who keeps opening the door to the kids room
Maybe it’s the doll, announcing their doom
Into the trash, the doll does go
But will it stay? I say, no
Off he goes, gone for a few days
At home with her dolls, mom will stay
Who turned on the stove, a fire will start
No surprise, mom isn’t so smart
Burn baby, burn
Now it’s her turn
The child was born, it’s a girl
Let the bells ring, and banners unfurl
The house is cursed, mommy does say
I won’t go back. Uh uh, no way
Time passes, the child can crawl
Cover in pink, is her wall
Back in church, them and their baby
Pastor as for a photo, is he crazy?
God this woman has a lot of dolls
Covering floors, covering walls
Who shows up in a box on her own
Annabelle the doll, from the trash she was thrown
Mom and baby, asleep in the room
Is that a ghost, walking in the gloom
A book she spies in the store
“The Devil’s Welcome” what’s it for
A series of pictures, found on the stairs
Mean, cruel pictures, how could they dare?
Suddenly she awakes. What’s that noise?
Visions she sees of bad girls and boys
Hubby is home, he doesn’t believe
Wife tries, but he does not see
Night shift has been given to hubby
Leaving mommy alone, with the baby
Wtf? She left the child alone
Bad mam I say, that child is not grown
A crying baby in the basement she hears
But the pram is empty, it’s just her fears
The elevator isn’t working, she cannot go home
Thus the baby, really is alone
A dash for the exit, she runs at full speed
She knows her baby is in need
The devil has marked her with an A
Maybe now hubby will see all is not ok
But wait, the mark is gone with the day
How did this happen, she wants to say
The cop she calls, tell me more
The devil was called. What next is in store?
The disciples of the Ram, that was the cult
Marks on her wall, shows it wasn’t her fault
Back to the book store, research is needed
The book seller helps, ne believe is deep seeded
Keys fall, the pram moves on its own
The pictures were right, danger was shown
Locked in a room, the child is in danger
The doll lifts by a stranger
Call in the holy man, he’ll make things right
Maybe he’ll get rid of the fright
To church, the doll with him he takes
Asleep and harmless, the doll does fake
The radio give the priest a message of doom
God will be coming for him soon
The evil follows him to the church
And about of the doorway he does lurch
About = out
The priest awakes, a soul the demon wants
Not the baby’s, but wifey’ sit taunts
The baby is missing, where did it go
Maybe, it will trade it, for her soul?
The friend is dead, she’s now alone
And like her friend, dead is the phone
A red crayon, across the floor does roll
Writing everywhere, we want her soul
She find the child, dead on the floor
She’s not sure she can take any more
A trick of the mind, the baby’s not dead
Re leaving herself of some of her dread
Hubby to the rescue, will he arrive on time?
Quickly taking stairs two at a time
Take care of Leah, mom says full of tears
It’s the only way to save her, she fears
But no, a last minute save by a friend
She gives her soul, so they don’t have to bend
Six month later and all is well
But where is the doll? No one can tell
There it is, On a shelf in a store
Awaiting someone else, to scare to the core
The movie is done. It was ok I suppose
But I had no thrills or chills, from my spine to my toes
Based on a true thing, is what they say
Bah, I don’t believe, ant won’t any day
I avoid creepy doll films.

So I wasn’t terribly impressed with the first episode of Dark Matter. It picked up a bit towards the end of the episode, but it was one trope after another.
Writers: let’s get every scifi cliche we can shoe in.
You felt that way too? 🙂
Hey,
OK,
By the way,
I have to say:
Earlier today,
That play-by-play,
Was a great display,
Of talent from Ry-ah.
Made me nostalgic for Deadpan’s best days.
Is this true?

No.
OK, this was 1000% funnier than I expected, considering that it’s yet another Star Trek-Star Wars thing.

Goodnight :Worf:
That was funny
So this week I finally finished off the first seasons of Gotham and Forever.
There was lot of mediocrity in Gotham but still interested where S2 will go.
Forever ain’t coming back, hated the narration but was starting to enjoy the episodes as the season drew to a close.
Did you get the feeling that Gotham ended the first season at a weird place? It could’ve just been me.
I also enjoyed Forever, but yes the narration could come off a little pompous at times.
They made some strange decisions in S1 of Gotham.
Morning Pan
Today I’m going to blame it on the rain.
It takes a special kind of fucking hate mongering monster to pull off what happened in Charleston yesterday.
Honestly, I’m still trying to sort through the reports and social media opinions to figure out what happened. I have the basic fact, but nothing else.
..and the conspiracy theories have already started. They claiming his skin and hair colour are lighter in his ID photo than on the CCTV footage.
Yeah so are mine… that doesnt mean schizz. People seriously make me ill..
So horrendous and unbelievable
Our species sucks.

Time for a walk!
We finished OITNB. Now we can focus! Next up: Sense8
Im only 6 eps in of Orange. Loving it tho!
I havent gotten past the first ep of Sense8. Snooooooze
I might have to watch episode 2 again.
Cough
We’re still working on Peaky Blinders.
Our inability to get through a 6-episode season is a reflection of our limited free time, not the show’s quality. I’m seriously loving this show and the hats they wear. Cillian Murphy has never been better.
Once that’s done, we can consider OITNB season 3, Orphan Black season 2, Vikings season 2, the latest GoT, Arrow, etc.
And Sense8. I still believe in the Wachowskis.
We’re caught up on “The Americans,” “Homeland” and “GOT.” Currently rewatching season one of “True Detective.”

I don’t understand people. Hubby’s boss came to him and asked him to go to New Orleans… tomorrow. This would have been a week long trip. Now we will see what happens since hubby said no. One day was just too short of notice for a trip that far and that long.
That is nuts.

That truly confounds me. Huh!
Who tokes up at a Tim McGraw concert, during a country version of Tiny Dancer??!! geez. Weird.
Although times are changing as far as that goes. I saw Rush last month and someone lit up in the row in front of us. The people next to them went ballistic and insisted they put it out. Then the guy behind me leaned past me and asked the guy that lit up if he could have the joint because it would otherwise go to waste. Then the people next to him went ballistic. Crazy.
Yup. You dont need a “reason” to smoke anymore.
In a different musical genre… I was excited to begin “Birth, Life, Death, Metallica”, which is billed as a no-holds-barred account of the band’s early days. I had about 15 different “oh please” moments in the first chapter alone, which calls the Black Album “uncompromising” and claims that the band is still pushing the musical envelope today.
Let’s hope the gushing and bullshit stop when the book finally starts in on their actual Bay Area early days with Mustaine.
I may have thrown up more than a little in my mouth… everyone knows that the Black Album in the Mason-Dixon line of their catalog.
-in +is
Yep.
The book cited that Lou Reed travesty as one of their recent bold moves. I will agree that it was “decidedly uncommercial.”
“bold” is not synonymous with “good”
“I am the table!”
But they try to interchange Bold with Spicy…. why not other things?

On ordering a new electrical item, my CC was initially refused, when I phoned the company they said it was because I had used my desktop rather than the laptop.
Thing is, both my laptop and desktop use go through the same router which should only show one IP address on the internet…so WTF!
I thought IP addresses were unique to individual computers, and not to the routers.
Partly. They are only unique within the network they are on. The IPs can get translated as messages get sent to different networks, which is something that routers and gateways do.

It’s not the HD, which although 3 years old is not overheating according to the SMART data.
I suspect the fans are no longer cooling the CPU+GPU properly. the vents in the laptop not blocked, and I’ve tried blowing air through then to shift dust.
Oh and that moment of despair when you see tweets from Americans claiming Sally Ride was the first Woman in space..that.
I assure you that that kind of ignorance doesnt just reside here but yeah, I get your point
Commies don’t count! ‘Murica!
One of the tweets was from a Repulican politician who should have known better.
Who? I wanna share in the fun
@RepDelBene: 32 years ago #OTD, Sally Ride broke one of the highest glass ceilings by becoming the first women in space. #WomenSucceed.
#womensucceedpoliticiansfail
Also, at least they arent all ignorant…
Rep. Derek Kilmer @RepDerekKilmer Jun 18
#OTD Sally Ride became the 1st American woman in space – we should continue to lead the way in #space exploration.
Although the last section is laughable. ‘We’ havent lead in a long time
I’m impressed that one person can become the first women in space.
That’s one small step for woman, one giant leap for women..
Every reputable and un-reputable news source – “The Charleston killings were clearly a hate crime”
Fox News – “We cant say for sure why this happened but religion is under attack!!!”
Making a parody of “Fox News” is like making a parody of “The Enquirer.”
I’m not sure that The Enquirer hasnt broken more true stories than Fox…

Good afternoon Pan.
We saw Kingsman last night. It was a fun movie.
Tonight, we are having people over for gaming.
I saw something about you and hubby each buying new games?
Yup. I got Terra Mystica and he got Race for the Galaxy.
We might try Race for the Galaxy tonight if we have time.
I get Dark Matter, it’s Blakes 7 with better SfX and less interesting characters.
Very much less interesting characters.
Commies, they ain’t all bad:

And now the F*n washing machine has broke.
Got an email from Ello stating that they now have an app available.

I’ve heard this before in a couple other places, but what do you guys think about the Star Wars Ring Theory? Does that excuse any problems you might find with the movies?

We *also* did Bearizona today, also a very cool place. Desert Pixie has put together a fun FD weekend.

Your new official Marvel Spiderman has been cast…
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/tom-holland-spider-man-new-marvel-1201510563/
I cannot
Yeah, I’m tired of Spiderman and Hulk reboots 🙁
This isnt a reboot. This character will be incorporated into the Marvel universe films and I dont believe they will be doing a reboot film.
Plus they only rebboted Hulk once… so I dunno
I’m a little tired of Spidey. I’d like to see some different characters get their chance on screen.
ROM: Spaceknight being the most desirable.
Understood but being able to see Spiderman and the Avengers together in film finally is really what its all about. Im all for a ROM as well
Agreed. I wish Marvel had movie rights back for all their characters.
The Spider-Man problem as I see it: of 5 films for their most beloved character, only 1 was really any good (The Doc Ock movie). The rest are bad-to-ok-at-best.
I’d love to see them get him right.
Ditto for the Hulk. He’s been well-used in the Avengers movies, but otherwise, his film career is pretty meh.
I’m one of the ones who defends the Ang Lee film.. but whatev. I also think the first Spidey was a good film. The 2nd was a classic, and the 3rd and the 2 reeboots were shat. But none of these were Marvel’s fault. They probably watched on in horror as we did.
I liked the Ang Lee film even though it was probably too long. The real problem is that it wasn’t what a lot of the fans wanted, so it suffered from misplaced expectations. And I agree about the Spidey movies.
I generally liked both Hulk films, but agree the Avengers versions where best.
I would rate the first Spiderman movie really good, the second one almost perfect (except for the botched heroic powers being linked to confidence, bah). The third one was a stinker.
The first reboot was actually not so bad, just tainted by being the second origin story in four movies. The last one was shit.
ditto that’s one reason I defend it. It wasnt Hulk smash all time and that was fine with me. The comic is closer to that one. Was anyway.
I was so onboard with a gifted filmmaker like Ang Lee taking a philosophical, psychological approach to the Hulk. Such rich source material! Unfortunately, I just found his movie dull, with no payoffs in depth or action.
The best pure Hulk movie to this day, IMHO, is the original Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno pilot. No really! It was actually pretty good.
Just stop there. Don’t watch the series. Don’t watch the one where he meets Thor. Just don’t. Leave that in your childhood.
I’m too tired to care.
I own that one… the Thor special that is. It. Is. Remarkable.

Still too expensive for price per gigabyte.
If I had populated my NAS with SSDs of the same size as the HDDs I have installed now it would have about 4 times the cost.
Actually more, since I would have had to buy a more expensive NAS enclosure as SSDs top out at 1 terabyte so would have needed to install 4x1TB SSDs for the same amount of storage as I have now (2x 2TB HDDs).
Well affordable ones anyway.

zomg! I just read the modt appauling post on FB re: today’s Supreme Court decision on gay marriages. The post calls America the new Sodom. (i dont know or read the Bible so I dont know that reference) but thats not the appauling part.
It is quite the rant.
I am amazed and shocked by ignorance, all of the time. I dont know why.
I hate stupid people. Most stupid people are outspoken, which amplifies my hatred.

Been working my way through Branson on Netflix. Tom Hardy is clearly talented, but this is a bit much to get through all at once.
Anyone k or of this movie? Or the real British career criminal? Van?
Between this and Peaky Blinders, it’s more Cockney than I can handle.
I know what I said.
Isn’t it Bronson?
Remember reading about it at the time but never got round to actually seeing the film.
It is Bronson, yes.
Jesus… it took me all this time to realize that Tim Russ (who played Tuvok on Voyager) was the “We aint found shit!” trooper in Spaceballs
That is an amazing factoid.
peaky Blinders is set in Birmingham not London.
Cough
Correct. I really just wanted to say, “more Cockney than I can handle.”

Thankfully watching it via iplayer means I can avoid the crowds and mud.

Really digging this show.
Hubby and I had a long talk on the weekend. I don’t want to jinx it but, now that we don’t have kitty 🙁 , there is a better than average chance he might make it out to the meetup/wedding next year. Part of it will depend upon when it is and if he can get a couple of days off.
Cool that he may now come and the Deadpan crew, not cool on the why.

Another Black church burned down in South Carolina. This fucking country needs to rally around the rights of minorities like it did with gay rights. Seriously wtf.
Also good on the OK supreme court for ruling that Ten Commandments stature need to come down. Now can they take down that dumb ass satanic one too?
Seriously.
And while we’re at it, let’s make education and mental illness the top priorities of this generation.
Agreed. I think the more equality happens the more these SHOULD fall in line.

Not much happened Ed. Normal ole America. There are only 14 Repub candidates for prez!
Wowza!
As with the majority of declared candidates, most of them are just comic relief.
I’m curious to see who will get Ed’s support. I’m frightened to see who the majority rallies behind.
Honestly whichever party wins, we lose.

I assume the reason he’s been so quiet is that reality has sunk in…
I’m quiet because work has been intense for the last few weeks. Lots of deadlines, but lots of happy clients. My head has asploded. It would be interesting if the team gets renamed “The Phoenix Coyotes.”

Today is the start of the Calgary Stampede. I’ll watch the parade on TV this morning, other than that, I refuse to acknowledge the event.

Today’s retro game is Xenophobe.
The arcade game is bloody hard.
I may dig out my Lynx and play it on there instead as I can get further on that than in the arcade.
I rediscovered that one a few years back on MAME. I don’t think I could get past the first level.

Back to the Future was released 30 years ago today. The retro scenes of the 50s in this 80s movie are now retro-retro.
Crap joke for the day:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto were camping in the wilderness. After they got their tent set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,”‘Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?”
The Lone Ranger replies, “I see millions of stars.”
“What that tell you?” asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for aminute then says, “Astronomically-speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time-wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically,the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you,Tonto?”
“You dumber than buffalo… It mean someone stole tent.”

I’m thinking of getting a PS4 this week, just wondering if I should wait for the new 1TB model or just go for the standard and upgrade down the line.
A lot of the newer games take up a lot of space: 40-60 GB. But, you can always upload your saves to the PSN cloud and delete the game if you need the space. I also read somewhere about being able to backup to an external drive.
Doubling the available drive is nice, but not super important imo. It depends on how much admin you will want to do in the future: a little bit, or a little bit more.
I’m totally digging the PS4, the Xbox One on the other hand is barely being used. Looking forward to getting the new Batman game today for the PS4.
Roll up, roll up, a feeling old moment just happened:
So unpacked my Atari Lynx to play some Xenophobe and the receipt fell out. I bought the ‘handheld’ on the 3rd May 1990.
It still looks brand new, still works and is over 25 years old.

CD: New Belgium’s Snapshot. It’s a wheat beer in a can. It’s a lot like Blue Moon, but more citrusy, on the lemon/grapefruit side. I like it. Very refreshing on a hot day.
Oh yeah. This is a good one. Not a fan of wheat really but this is, as you say, a hot day killer. Its nice. You try the Boulevard Radler yet?
Not yet. I usually just mix my own.
