Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

[BobGrau]

today i arrived at the office, opened the coffee maker to pour in some water, and out crawled a cockroach.  time for a new coffee machine.

this should be random and stupid enough for all of you.

What, you couldn't install a replacement cockroach? Typical tech guy attitude.

Thanks for that. The people in the next booth are unsure about me now.

Yeah, like onan said, and I'm cleaning off my laptop screen now. Thanks, Bob!

You have to bear in mind, cockroaches are not indigenous to Scotland. If they were, they'd be deep fried and served alongside deep fried Mars bars. Protein is protein...even if it's mainly sugar...and fat..

Oh youse guize! But I have heard that the Mars bars are dipped in batter before being deep fried, which since I've never had the pleasure of indulging, am not not going to knock.

This is the third airplane crash in which Bin Laden family members have died.  I remember a long time ago, reading that the family were channelling money to terrorist enterprises, but that was quickly stifled.

Also, there seems to be a cluster of cancer cases from people who have been to Guantanamo.  Is cancer weaponized?

Ha!  The ultimate Hitchin' a Ride.

I love pinball machines...doesn't matter where I am at, if I see one I always stop and drop a couple of quarters in and play.  Drives the wife nuts

A critical VA medication was 3 days late and had to be forwarded to my new home, it is not a stocked medicine. 5 days after that, I get a notice in my new address' mailbox, I was home all day without a knock on the door, that the medicine could not be delivered because 69 cents was owed to forward it. Being a service connected veteran, my medication is shipped free and paid for by the VA. The US mail is part of the US gov't, right? Friggin lazy idiot...

Sir, I submit to you the notion that they are fucking with you on purpose.

It's sixty-nine cents. Hello, Dolly!

Someone should have quietly stuck the 69 cents in the cash drawer, just out of common decency if not gratitude.

I had my wallet out and was ready to buy a vintage Defender arcade cabinet until wife overruled. That was a particularly sad day.

Defender is centrally-placed in my imagined personal retro-gaming arcade.  One day I shall build it.  There shall be Tempest, there shall be Spy Hunter, there shall be Dig Dug ... and god as my witness there shall be Food Fight!

That arcade game was one of my favorites! There was one at the 7-11 a block from my house. I'd buy a slurpee then dump the rest of my money into that game.  I could probably buy it with all the quarters I slugged into that thing that year.

What 's a vintage Defender go for these days anyway?

You better send me an invitation when you get your arcade built.

If there isn't a donky kong, don't bother.

I downloaded my first game app.  Starbucks had those freebie cards which I usually ignore, but grabbed one for the hell of it. It's called Monument Valley. I love it. Crap, I'm hooked. Such a beautifully designed game. I've never been a gamer but tried playing a few.  I'm constantly blown away by the beautiful graphic art and design.
