I love your profile pic, by the way. Jack Russells are the greatest

You're twisting my words.

Make sure you get a steady pace, this isn't a game for wagglers. Gradually speed up, and slow down if the caber leans back too much.
When it tilts forward 30 degrees or more, THROW IT!

Yeah cliff diving was my fave too. 100 points was the target... got a couple of points over it a few times but I think it was a maximum limit

Level 5: Figurit's Revenge. I never got past that... and only made it that far about 3 times.

I'm surprised there haven't been some US military commanders deciding "screw this" and overthrowing the president in a coup. Nope, they're "just following orders".

Sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole... I was reminded of my list of science fiction I was building 2 years back, comparing when various fiction was created/filmed/broadcast and when it was set. "1990" has been added to it!

This is a good argument.
IBM is the company, the computer is just called "Compatible".

Because nobody wrote programs bigger than that, back in the day. Why? Because nobody needed programs bigger than that.

5.25" disks weren't big! You should see the old 8" floppy disks!

Or when it booted into 128 mode, you could type GO 64 to switch. Please tell me you knew this already.

It was so nobody would ask you to share when you were playing a game, they could boot up the second C64 and play on that.

It works for some cars, to just call them by the model (or nickname), usually sports cars but not always. Corvette, Countach, Trans Am, Falcon, Beetle.
Doesn't work for Ferrari, BMW, Jaguar, DeLorean and many others.

Oh and in Australia, Holden produced a car called the Commodore for 39 years...

That's something we agree on.

Yeah... Let's not mention that so called word association game being a problem either. Am tired of people baiting pollies instead of, you know, asking probing questions.

That only happens if you become an accountant, or have some other similarly boring job.

I was thinking yesterday that 4-5 should become the alternative. 4 and 5 both start with F, like 6 and 7 start with S. 2-3 has different phonemes (T and Th).
I might have been influenced by hearing Stars On 45 playing on Kmart's in-store music... which incidentally came out 45 years ago.

A pinboard or infowall (of conspiracy theorists).

Or, a yawn.

I'm going to try a different tack: It's difficult to determine what Grace Tame actually stands for. One minute she's standing up to rapists, another minute she's calling for death to infidels... How do you balance the two? Maybe in the latter, she made a bad call.
Everyone but Albo makes mistakes?
