I never had that issue. The refrigerator melting down to a lump of goo did make getting food from it less appealing, though. :-

Quote

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

You're the second person who I hear saying LSD melts fridges. It kind of makes it...boring. Compared to the dragon anyway.🤔

Also, is Shaggy the great dane's owner? Having only seen, like, 30 minutes of Scooby in total while flipping channels - that guy is totally the pot dealer.

obligatory explanation scene for above as always:

 

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

I like to think we can blame this on the lawyers.

Is that... is that a picture of the Sourcerer?

Because in that case, nobody stands a chance. He's hacking the planet with Dark Code and has this:

The NOVA X3 is a computer that can connect to the internet without wifi!

(yes, actual dialogue and names from the show...)

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

The key question here is : Why were you watching that show ?

Because it was awesome? I mean, where else do you get computer virus asylums, dark code and wifi-less internet? 😄

edit: I liked the original and OCD, is actually the real answer. :)

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder.

What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past?

 

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born!


We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

PS2? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I owned an Atari 2600. Also, my friend had a ColecoVision.

Edit: I owned a copy of the infamous E.T. It was terrible, but there were plenty of games on the 2600 just as crap. Missile Command was awesome, though. Defender was pretty good too.

I remember when the Atari 2600 was invented. Video games only existed in arcades and you had to go there to play them. Or at the jiffy store.

Defender was much better in the arcade. I remember how disappointed I was when I saw how Pac-Man looked on the Atari. I was too young to understand the difference between 8 bit and 64 bit graphics LOL. Asteroids in space invaders worked just fine though. And who could forget this one

I had an Atari 2600 clone that came with like 200 pre-installed, most likely pirated games. I was three or four at that point, so it was "the game with the cactus" and "the game with the jungle" and "that game with the shooting cars" that I liked to play. In other words, Outlaw, Pitfall and the tank duel of Combat. :)

No idea where the thing has gotten to. The joysticks died regularily, and it was eventually replaced by a Sega Master System. My parents probably threw it out. :(

We had a free standing Atari Pong game console (one game-pong!) before we had a 2600...or technically a Sears Tele-games video arcade (Sears branded 2600).

We loved Warlords on the 2600. And Haunted House and a game called Entombed...
