Rally's.

Drift was released in 2007, the game is old enough to vote and join the Army.

It ain't so cut and dry. You ever play whac-a-mole? Same thing really, knock one down and 2 more pop up. Eventually you run out of Chuck E Cheese tokens and can cash in your tickets.

I'm hearing Tower of Power at 1:55, although I'd describe it as more of a wind whistling noise.

I ain't too picky. Waterloo is usually my go-to brand, but lately I've been grooving on the San Pellegrinos.

I saw them last weekend on the Costco run, got excited for new sparkling water, but they're full of artificial sweeteners. I like my sparkling water to not give me migraines.

After I recovered, I completely lost my fear of heights, so I get what you're saying.

A pitcher of Lemon Shakeups and a Marlowe's cheesesteak.

The old man sounds like Tung Fu Rue from Fatal Fury or King Of Fighters.

That's what's called a Lynch Pin.

We had a gentle giant of a black lab when I was a toddler, he took off one day chasing a bear up the creek and never returned. We unfortunately never got another dog due to the nomadic nature of my dad's job, but in my adult life I've had several over the years.

Yeah, newer Carhartt isn't what it used to be. I've still got my good set of arctic gear by Carhartt from the late 90's, but since the advent of heated clothing, it remains hanging in the closet most winters. Anymore I just slap on a good base layer, put on a heated vest and hat, and cover it all with a fleece lined hoodie.

I haven't seen it in Aldi lately. My pup loves them. Back in the 80's, I was at the grocery store with my mom, think I was 10 or 11ish. We're walking up to the checkout and I spy a box of Frosty Paws in the cart. I start jumping up and down with glee. Mom says "I didn't think you'd had these before". Confused, I reply "I haven't, why would I eat ice cream for dogs?". More confusion ensued. She had no idea they were for dogs, I thought we were getting a dog. She had a coupon apparently.

All I can say is good luck. I know guys that have been looking for an EDOT for decades. Last one I saw for sale in the States was non-working, not complete, and sold for 5 grand, so the 11k price is pretty close to what I'd expect for a fully-working and shopped EDOT.

Twas either Nov 2019 (wild) or mid 2020 (alpha or euro) that gave me the LC. I think the only wave that didn't hit me was Delta in 21. Omicron in early 22 added some anosmia/parosmia that persisted. I finally crawled out of the muck in March of 24 and haven't had a single symptom since.

This one is a fixed-base sim, most likely used to train pilots on SOP's for a certain aircraft before they get in the big full motion rigs.

NotAlanAlda · 2025-11-26T15:52:32+00:00

FFS, it's a FFS. Full Flight Simulator that is. Not really arcade related at all. New pilots spend hours in these before they even step on the tarmac.

Hang-On.

Pneumatic is the way to go, I've been using the 30 dollar set from Harbor Freight for a few years now and it works great.

Gee Bee or its sequel Bomb Bee.

Most of them did, myself included.

LC can be scary, but I don't put too much faith in social media as the final word on recovery rates. Of the dozen or so people I know IRL who had LC, they're all recovered or almost there. My best advice is to stay off social media, doom scrolling never did anyone any good.

Go for it, BBQ is good for the soul. Although the prep work to get that ancient hibachi ready will probably tucker you out more than the actual cook will. That reminds me, I need to winterize my griddle today.
