Keep your head up mate. Tell the missus we're in her corner.

Just make sure you aren't putting the baby in her corner. No-one does that.

School concert this evening. Background music when I arrived was Tangerine Dream.

Literally checked my pulse.

Risky Business main theme, lol.

Still counts!

Oh, should have guessed. Lol.

Damn straight it still counts.

A year ago I started tracking down and watching the movies that have soundtracks created by TD, but the cinematic level is often so poor, I couldn't go all the way through with the project. Last movie I recall watching was Near Dark.

I wasn't even head over heels with the good rate ones - for instance, Sorcerer (mainly because the French original is vastly superior).

I have a soft spot for "Loved by the Sun."

Legend is not that bad, actually.

I'm pretty sure I'm dying you guys.... :sick:

Feel better soon, bea!

Hi, remember me!

It's your friendly neighborhood mongoose.

I've been thinking it was called SNACKchat this whole time. I like the idea of snapchat a lot less.

I'm really into podcasts. The Message is really good as was Serial. I just couldn't get into Nightvale the first time around (a few years ago), but I guess I will give it another go. I also really like Lore, which is non-fiction origin stories of common urban myths (scary ones, usually).

Pipecleaner says hi.

If you want, I can snapchat pictures of things I'm snacking on to you.

Hmm. Let me ask you some questions. Do I want snapchat? Is this something people in Gen X even have? Why wouldnt you just text it to me (serious question). For isntance, why do you, Holden Metalmarsh, like snapchat?

I don't like it (though I have it on my phone), but that would give me a fun reason to like it.

Some of the banner images appear broken to me. What's going on?

Where are you accessing the internet from? I've noticed that some companies will block photobucket images.

At home... on my laptop? I don't work in any company.

Anyway, it seems fixed now, so nvmd. Maybe it was a photobucket derp (although, not all the pics were screwy, for that matter).

I was riding home on a Greyhound-owned bus on Monday. Connecting through their wifi, all the photobucket banners were blocked (and replaced with the greyhound logo), while the other ones were not.

I guess this wasn't the same thing.

MP just blued himself all over the forum.

(This tactic has become too easy, btw)

Indeed I did.

What tactic? I'm just having fun procrastinating.

My dissertation will be: Is Audit Quality Related to Mafia Wins or Losses?

Between now and then, I need to get multiple audit teams at Big 4 and non-Big 4 firms to start playing mafia, then I can see whether mafia win or loss record exhibits a positive or negative association with common proxies for audit quality.

As a high school teacher, that made me laugh.

In Turkey, a man's freedom hinges on whether Lord of the Rings' Gollum is good or evil, or whether Gollum and Smeagol are even the same character.

Why is the judge consulting a "TV expert" about a series of books written in the 1950's?

To be fair, the man is on trial because he used pictures of Gollum/Sméagol from the films, so the film character is what should be examined here.

But Marsh, the real question is... why is literally anything in this story happening in the year 2015?

You got it wrong, didn't you Rico?

Well, even though it's just about over now in Central time, I thought I'd wish everyone a Happy Festivus!! :P

And an early Happy Christmas Eve and Christmas to those who celebrate, and Happy Holidays to those who don't!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Here's a little something from Grinchy.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

Nothing says Merry Christmas Happy Boxing Day quite like cleaning vomit out of your child's bed sheets at 12:45 a.m.

Wow I have not been here in forever. That automatically makes this post random.

Hello to all friends and members I do not yet know!


PS - Also, wow that's an old signature. Please to ignore. That game is so long over. Now I will need to update that thing.

It's indi!!! Hi there!

Hope you're doing well. It's been way too long! So good to see you!

We need to catch up ASAP.

Hey MoPi! It's great to see you too! I'm so glad this place has taken off and is doing so well. That's great!

It's been a wild life since last we spoke... but I assume the same is likely true of you, and everyone else. Life has a way of doing that. How's things with you? (And everyone else here!?!?)



(What a nerd I am, I just went back and reread that Mafia of the Absurd game. Man, you guys were hilarious in that! We were just saying that we also had an idea for an MST3K mafia that we never got around to doing. Maybe one day, eh?)
