Pub Game in the grand Golden Age of Pog tradition:

Was just listening to my man Casey Kasem count down the top 40 hits of 1981 on the local oldies station rerun they do each weekend, heard this one. Don't bother spoilering these, not exactly nat'l security secrets after all!

Name the 9 #1 songs that have a real person's name in the title.

You know I used to like Tetris and played it quite a bit, but it always seemed a little squaresville to me, a little bland. And the speed-up late in the game made me a little anxious!

Might have to just drink tap the second half of the year though to restore any cheapskate cred.
7.29 for an 8 pack! come on man, look for 7.29 a bottle

i get tilted when i'm playing 5/10 and order food, but then a good 10/20 game starts and i go over there after i already ate, because you get ~$3 discount for ordering food if you're playing 10/20. the discount is weird. no discount if your order is $9 or less. if your order is more than 9, then the next $6 are free. so you pay 9 if your order is 9-15. max $6 off

my plan is try to catch someone ordering a couple of bottles of water for $4 and then ask them to give me the cash, and i'll order it and add it to my $12 order and pocket $4!!!!

then obviously run a 10k bluff, and someone call me with ace high

What does your post-year 2000 list look like?

zingah, you got me.

The 2 I know for sure are Uncle Albert, Admiral Halsey and Bette Davis Eyes. The 1981 in my post was a hint there!

Admiral Halsey was from Fredericksburg, Texas btw, idyllic little Hill County town about an hour north of here. There's a little museum and everything.

edit: Oh, also Steve Martin's King Tut. I got that from Casey's teaser hint.

Ugh. Haven't been around much, because we're having trouble selling our home. Multi-home owning sucks.

Houses in our price range that are clearly inferior are selling, but we're not. It's gotten to the point that we may accept a Hubbard offer.

Yeah it's still American owned

Both seem right up your alley.

Has anyone been able to view the SpaceX StarLink satellites cruising overhead yet? These are the 60 satellites that SpaceX launched last Thursday on a Falcon 9. End goal is to put 1800+ up in orbit and provide fast internet service to anywhere on the globe.



Here's 10 day orbital prediction data

I smh at the people crying on twitter how SpaceX is destroying the "natural sky". lol

You youngsters with your computer machines! There's this cool old-school puzzle game I play that never gets old, it's called "jigsaw" and takes place in a strange place I like to call "physical reality", or 3-space for short. This is one I'm working on now:

Meh. Let the Belgians have it.

If you're actually interested in great beer and getting your America fix, there are LOTS of great beers in this country.
