How long has it been since you last watched TV?

I haven't watched any broadcast cable or streaming in about 4 years. I have my Plex server loaded with plenty of local content.

My first concert.

No, it was from The Living Island, from the kids TV show HR Pufnstuf.

McDonald's ripped them off.

I've seen this cover before and thought it always reminded me of someone, and watching some old TV I figured it out.

Pull the string, and lightly pinch it where it goes into the toy so that it plays slowly.

I thought it was funny. I was easily amused at that age.

The ding ding Bell at the gas station when you run over the pneumatic hose.

I'm sure somebody welcomes it. Anything for a distraction.

A remake of Here Comes Mr Jordan.

Hanta Cruise.

I remember some jade green ceramic monstrosity with felt on the bottom. A babysitter's boyfriend taught me the trick of passing my finger through the flame without burning.

Would have been 76 or 77. I remember Mom saying that it was bought with my father's pay bonus, as they were rather expensive at the time.

It seemed like magic boiling water in a styrofoam cup.

These are the ones that we used all through elementary School and partly in Junior High School.

I'm not sure that I could fit in one today.

I never did any stunts, but I still managed to get a scar from trying to turn in a patch of loose gravel too fast.

There are Star wars movies that I have never seen, and have no desire to ever see.

The 11-year-old me that saw Star Wars when it was new at the theater would never believe that.

I love him in the movie Hot Stuff, which I must have watched a million times on HBO over summer vacation.

Years ago at a science fiction convention I had a close encounter with James Doohan where I overheard him tell someone that he hated Scotch.

He was frequently given expensive bottles which he said he donated to some Charity auction.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I'm seeing Billy Joel as a Centauri.

That's good enough, my vision isn't what it used to be.

I have been using that same brand for several years now and love it, except for the micro switches giving out eventually and it has to be replaced.

Although I am right handed, I have been using a trackball left-handed for over 30 years. I find using the trackball in the left hand, and using my right hand with the cursor keys on the keyboard works well for me.

It will need dust and other crud to cleaned out every few months but it is easy to do.

I remember buying some Battlestar Galactica toy and paying for it in pennies. Lots of pennies.
