Pac Man Fever

So there’s not too much to write about…and I was getting tired of the Baseball post sitting at the top, so…here’s something for everyone to do today: play those old 80s arcade games with this java emulator. Thank you to Fark for the link.
Of course, if you find yourself waxing nostalgic for Journey and waffle cones, while you play Tempest, or Berzerk, you can tune in to RFB, which is broadcasting an 80s explosion, right now.
If you find that you need even MORE classic games, I suggest picking up a copy of MAME, and only downloading the ROMs for games you own. *ahem*
I saw the Episode II trailer today. I am not optimistic. Lord of the Rings, however, looks amazing.
One final note to parents: if your child is too young to not scream and cry the whole movie, and you need to entertain it by making baby noises for the entire film, your baby is proably not old enough for the movies, and should probably stay at home.
Thank you.

There is no crying in baseball!

I’ve just realized why Kim has blown 2 games.
He secretly wants to come and play for the Dodgers, and get a 20 million dollar contract.
Mr. Boras? Your phone is ringing…

Bleed American

Stolen from loren, who gleaned it from killoggs, who found it here:

“Pro-America does not mean pro-war. Or pro-Bush. Or anti-Afghanistan. Or pro-little-flags-on-SUV-antennas.
It means thinking independently and getting better informed and filtering your news very carefully and realizing that just because one version of the American aggro attitude is currently being ramrodded down society’s throat doesn’t mean you have to swallow.”

I’m proud to be an American.

Vogon Poetry

Good morning, everyone.
I am recovering from those $#@!ing Yankees and their $#@!ing ‘mystique’ and ‘aura’…
I swear, The Diamondbacks have been watching too many Dodger games, based on the way they blow 9th inning leads.
Just a reminder: The WILLIAM F***ING SHATNER and WILLIAM $#!@ING SHATNER stores are closing today, so if you want anything from there, now’s the time to get it.
Don’t fret: The WWDN and Posse stores are still there, and I’m working on a RFB design, too!
My fortune from last night’s Panda Express Extravaganza: “Nothing can keep you from reaching your goals”.
So I got that going for me, which is nice.

S! A! TUR! DAY! NIGHT!

This Saturday night, at 10PM, your pal and mine, Wil Wheaton, will be performing, LIVE at the ACME Comedy theatre!
I have recently joined forces with The Liquid Radio Players. We battle evil by performing an entirely improvised 1940’s-style radio play. We wear period costumes, perform with a sound effects man and musician, and there is always 1940’s era entertainment, as well, like Swing Music and dancers during intermission, etc.
Here’s the info:
WHAT: Liquid Radio Players
WHERE: ACME Comedy Theatre
WHEN: Saturday, 4 November 2001
WHAT TIME: 10PM
HOW MUCH: I don’t know. But certainly less than buying the DVD re-release of Cleopatra Jones.
If you’re in the LA area, come and see the show. You’ll be glad you did! < /shiteating grin >
If you come early, you can see the 8PM “Best of” ACME sketch comedy show. It’s Spud-tacular!
