WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

WannaBe: <chancho: I watched all of the Bond films. (Then someone thought it would be a great idea to get the character killed.) There's a reboot of 007 coming in 2027. I wonder who the next 007 will be. My favorite Bond film? <You only Live Twice>> Ditto. Seen them all. ...

  Troller: <WannaBe: Just "realized" something, 420 or April 20, "Weed Day", is also the birthday of that certain individual in Germany and he later started a war that killed millions.>

Indeed. That is also the birthday of my paternal grandfather <and> my mother, so I have been celebrating "Weed Day" for a large part of my life.

  WannaBe: I'm sorry, but 10 minutes into the latest "Naked Gun" reboot with Leeeeam Neeeeeeson, I am FLMAO, or is it MFLAO, or OMALFA?

Gotta pay attention, because it is just like the original TV show, blink and you miss the joke.

  WannaBe: Very cute premises based upon the original movie and with Weird Al... Kudos.

  WannaBe: I give the movie "C"... Started out great, then it went down and then it became a homage to the original with the plot and then the ending credits (read the lines carefully)

Ok, but nothing to write home about.

  WannaBe: Shoot... Jane Goodall have left us mortals. I remember seeing pics of her in magazines (what are those?) and most of all, the Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon that caused a minor stir.

https://i.redd.it/lmcgfpdk6w6e1.jpeg

Turns out, Jane did not know about the comic, but her manager fired off an angry letter. (manager was later fired), and Gary got invited by Jane to visited the preserve and had a great time geekin' out and partying with some real animals.

Oct-03-25  stone free or die: That's a hilarious Far Side (but then again, most of them were!).

  WannaBe: <SFoD> I am a proud owner of two volume/volumn "Complete Far Side" leather bound hard cover collection. (And to brag, also Calvin & Hobbs, complete edition. Leather bound)
Oct-04-25  stone free or die: Those are probably the two greatest books of all time, of any kind!

But please do let me know when you get the complete collection of <Krazy Kat>!

  WannaBe: Windows 10 support will end on Oct 10th, (10/10/2025) and my Windows 11 laptop arrived 2 days ago (my old one is incompatible for upgrade, but there are hacks to go around)

I decided to retire this laptop (HP) and get a new i5 12 core 32G RAM instead of trying to upgrade this old i5 4 core 16G RAM beat up oldie.

What I like the most (so far) about Windows 11? It's the rounded corners on the apps/frames. Switched my taskbar to Left, did regedit to go back to old right click properties, and trying to figure out how to the get start button not to have this new look...

  WannaBe: So there I am minding my own bidness, reading Michael Connelly's latest novel "The Proving Ground" (big fan of his books) and I saw this article today

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Just like what is happening in the book.

  WannaBe: Another one of 'English is Confusing'...

Why people say: "Two twins"? Do people say "Three triplets"?

"She gave birth to twins", but not "two twins" or "They are fraternal twins", but no one ever say "They are two fraternal twins".

  WannaBe: So... I watched Sisu (first one) and will give it a solid "B". Action scenes are great (but somewhat at times unreal/or believable)

Watching Spinl Tap II (or Pie or Stonehenge symbol now)
