A MAD TV interlude:

[DeVaultSetter]

High energy on steroids! Wonderful. By stark contrast, this beauty from Confessions of a Dangerous Mind:

Ehm, back on track – have you encountered the Plasmatics’ rather zany crusade against the poor old CRT creations of the day? It’s well known that Plasmas didn’t really take off until the 90’s so was it uncanny clairvoyance or something else?

😀 Guaranteed to compel us flea-ing to all corners of the globe!
This old chestnut featured in Confessions of a Gong Show Tragic:
Q: Do you know what the difference is between toilet paper and a shower curtain?
A: Oh. So it’s you then.

[DeVaultSetter]

Might have seen it sometime pre-millennia, standard fare, Yvonne de Carlo could have insisted on a better direction perhaps, would there be any truth in suggesting that being Merman’s wife well and truly wore her out?
Not sure about Confessions of a Dangerous Mind either, there’s something in it that does not attract, perhaps the matter-of-fact dialog style – and the as-you-please or “laissez-faire” directorial approach. A pre-viewing requisite would be some knowledge of Chuck Barris, who compered the Gong Show. For redeeming features, a second (viewing) opinion is required, so one for the backburner. 🙂
Bill & Ted, for me the Beavis and Butthead of Sci-Fi fantasy- doesn’t quite fit, but there you go. Bogus Journey had a couple of gags including the seance scene:

[DeVaultSetter]

Lucky me, still have 5.1.1, got a boatload of default Apps to remove or trim down, before the fateful arrival of 6. 🙂
Unlucky, as the SIM for the new tablet won’t work, which means making arrangements for the presentation of this bare neck to the vampires of tech support! 😛

In preparing salads throughout winter, it’s probably a good idea to keep a pair of gloves handy. Take a look at Amazon’s list of hand/finger strengtheners such as Powergrip, although these things help, they are not a complete solution however.
In stretching the limits of Google-fu, came across the Hand and Wrist Institute’s guide to stretching the joints in (you guessed it) the hand and wrist. For extra cheer, feast your eyes on their list of common elbow/hand/wrist ailments, and be happy it isn’t you! 😛
Hopefully, there’s a similar outfit in Florida. 🙂
Here’s one for development: A theme park will want to offer “dream” services, such as was the case for the lucky visitors to Fantasy Island. The menu layout might include Rock Star for the day, Sports Hero, or even a high-up Government Official.

American Hustle is worth a look, loud blaring dialog, music and effects are de rigueur in making everything come across as more convincing, did note the nutritional reference in microwaving food, which, believe it or not, sparked a law suit.
Monster In Law came up with one or two memorable gags, plus a bonus surprise in the TV scene:

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, Taskbar Settings => Widgets, turn off, don’t use MS Widgets here much as heavily dependent on FTA state media news delivery. The default settings of the widget entails quite a bit of polling from news/weather servers, given some investment in time, you could get them to filter thing to taste. 🙂
Updated VS, but still to get something up on it.
Posting something new at the AHK site is weird, since there’s an hourglass on the tab/window for about 20-30 seconds after posting. Yet opening the same topic in another tab/window reveals it is already posted while the hourglass remains. Might be be something related to a Cloudflare setting, who knows?

Ooh, Galactus showed up on that page. Lovely, it’s very much like a Jack Kirby production:

Cool, the Indexed site sports an xkcd comics vibe to it, which makes sense as it launched just after, in 2006. Do identify with the conception of our measure of time, it’s possible the reverse can be true, things are trending to less complicated, well explained, and bundled with instruction manuals written in universal and easily decipherable languages such as Mathematics and Gravity!

[DeVaultSetter]

Well yes and no. 😛
Don’t have any subscribed topics but do get bubble notifications, e.g. no bubble for the last post of yours in this thread, but one for the post before that. Obviously an inconsistency somewhere.
No bubble notifications today in the plain forums, but on in the past they covered some of the threads posted on the day. Did someone mention before this may be related to the shared hosting arrangement?

[DeVaultSetter]

At SO, you can get various hats at various times of year based on activity, no wigs though. My contributions have waned in recent times, so not even a straw hat offered!
Cork Hat? 😛

Been under a slow moving train of thought entailing notifications are only for topics you start, and not for answers to replies you make in a topic, as we do not use threaded replies. Thusly, in the light of this oncoming revelation, do the bubble notifications work correctly for you?

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s in tomography, imaging scans are possible, is there much tech available for it?
You mean this?

Regardless of the very forgiving nature of Power Girl, the shop will still have to answer to Snowman!
There are heaps of posters available, even figurines, have you found any any larger than this one?
As well as the ages of the earth, quizzlings (not to be confused with quislings) must be knowledgeable on the atmospheric layers:

Gets warmer in the ozone layer, and again in the thermosphere!

[DeVaultSetter]

Moved this topic, and turned it back on.
The other settings we previously applied to it are still there, so should behave. 🙂

In Space, No One Can Eat Ice Cream

Only Ice-Kream, a speciality available only from Killer Klown Konfectionary! Did see the film an awful long time ago – do have an eye out for the merch, a welcoming doormat is just the thing!

Talking of quiz shows, there is no series 6 of Mastermind Australia (yet), consequently reruns have been placed in the usual time slot for the tragics looking for a kwik Kwiz fix.
Mind you, to date no-one here has offered Mastermind Killer Klowns as their special subject of interest, and the same can be said of Hard Quiz. Guaranteed to change if there is ever a remake! 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, the cover image/avatar got crunched somehow, they really should provide the option of sourcing the image from the Media Library. Some Admins may not care if the image they use has been sourced from a public repo.
These posts do look somewhat squinched, apart from that, everything looks fine. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

😀 Draw the FuddGates! That man has to be held culpable for Fudding the landscape with wascally wabbits!

Could have been a directorial ploy to grab the attention of certain patrons known to fall asleep in those dark, dank, smoky cinemas of yesteryear, because they have each borne witness to predictable plots and lifeless acting all before. Either that, or a directorial overdose of amphetamines, prompting a sudden desire to end the current plot and introduce new sets and characters as promotion for their next up and coming, but completely unrelated hit movies!

Do faintly remember seeing this before, A_Fistful_of_Dollars, there is a solid Clint fanbase over here down under, so our hero is sure to rise on one channel as soon as he sets on another. The film is just about as brutal as any slasher, eclipsing the finer points of Leone’s styling, hence unable to dispel the dubiousness in Rotten Tomato’s rating of #8 in their top 100 Westerns. (Well, looking at that list, Wikipedia is out of date, as it is now #14, replaced by Unforgiven at #8).
OTOH, there may not be more than around 20-30 westerns in that list worth seeing (again) in any case, which is testimony to the eternal critical dilemma, a “good” film may not always be an “enjoyable” one. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Funnily enough, the movie was originally entitled Rabbits.
You know, Google yields no Rabbit World amusement park, there are games, RabbidsLand and Rabbit World though.
Do watch for those Wabbits – could this be admitted as the main theme for the film?

These days it may require some exertion to get one’s head around Empire Magazine’s ranking of The Long Good Friday as number 19 in the top 100 British films for all time. For me, top notch B-Grade. 😛
If you ever wish to entertain any empathy for real estate salesmen, do not proceed to place GenGarry Glen Ross on the watchlist, but then you will miss out on the finest dialogue ever constructed from expletives and deletives alone. Recommended. 🙂

Beautiful! 🙂 Sorry, post edited.
Not much has happened since – well you know – the first hit in this Google Search explains it. 😛
Updated the forum’s General Info & Feedback
Yay, a Sierra game, too, my first “true” gaming experience in Windows was traipsing the length and breadth of Leisure Suit Larry World. 😛
Was it the remake you played? if one didn’t mind loading up from the CD packs, the original Homeworld would have run very well on the Windows 98/SE rig with the RAP-10 playing the OST. Don’t recall where the card ended up though, if it turns up, will post to H/W Relics. It cost a bit – must have been general compatibility issues by the mid to late naughties.

[DeVaultSetter]

Another gotcha is is folding bikes were more popular, their parts would be cheaper to make and distribute. Do like the quick release system on bikes, it’s funny that idea was never successfully extended to heavier machinery e.g. wheels on cars. A quick release 20 ton backhoe. 😛
Good to know they can work for things like battery terminals.
Perhaps we are in a silly universe already, so we have no idea what isn’t! 🙂
After watching reams of quiz shows and the like of the years, have eventually come to the conclusion the periodic table knowledge is on the fritz. These things will help a little:

[DeVaultSetter]

Space Age Bachelor Pad music as it was known, or something. For many, Esquivel is an acquired taste, as with many morsels from Zappa, some will refuse to budge on their way through the digestive tract.
