I have a legit license for VB for Windows 95 running around somewhere.

Man, what the hell was I thinking?

[Selby]

I own VB5 & VB6.  I used to program in them for a living and made some pretty nice applications.  Of course if I wanted any kind of major memory management program I was required to use VC++ which was death.

VB

Vanilla Bean, a half white half mexican kid

[Yegolev]

Or,

Vanilla Bean, main character from Steambot Chronicles.

[Lantyssa]

No one will drop the price on that despite having thirty copies on the shelves.

[schild]

It's an Atlus Game. Buy it new or perish.

[Lantyssa]

Sorry, it's not in the budget.   I can't even justify buying a PS2 after one of the roomies took his ball and went home.

[Yegolev]

Personally I'd suggest Metal Saga over Steambot Chronicles, if that helps.

[Ironwood]

What the hell was that game played on a board kinda like a terrained Chess with tons of fantasy units including the invisible blood sucking Vampire where it went real time during combat and if you played two player neither of you could see him when invisible ?  Dark something.  You could buy rings and orbs.

edit:  For future reference don't do 5 miles and then come home and slam down a massive serving of Popeye's fried chicken, biscuits and red beans and rice.  Meh, I need a nap, or to go sick-up, or something.

[Ironwood]

Aha.

I can't find Adombot anywhere.  Never have I witnessed such a feat on the internet as the complete removal of a single exe file.

[MrHat]

God I played so much Archon as a kid.  I 'borrowed' it from a friend who moved away.  Then I loaned it to another friend and moved away.  That game has some history!

I love UrbanDictionary, it makes communicating with others so much more enjoyable.

For instance, from the new resident nutter:

    fegs     
      

A descrptive word, used to indicate that someone is ugly.

"Have a look at Claire, she's proper fegs. If you think she was bad at school - you should see her now! She's ten times feggier"

Huh, I wondered what feg was. I was assuming it was just a respelling of fag, since he had decided to write phuck in an earlier post. Methinks he has spent too many days finding ways around profanity filters.

I'm fairly sure it's not as clever as that.

[Nonentity]

Yeah... don't think that was he was going for.

He seems like the kind of guy who would start a clan in Diablo 2 based around characters all using ][-][ instead of the letter H.

Found this while looking up the velvet ant (observed in the field).

The Schmidt Sting Pain Index

1.0 Sweat bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.
1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet & reaching for the light switch.
1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.
2.0 Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.
2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine WC Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
2.x Honey bee and European hornet: Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.
3.0 Red harvester ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.
3.0 Paper wasp: Caustic & burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of Hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.
4.0 Pepsis wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath (if you get stung by one you might as well lie down and scream).
4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch nail in your heel.[citation needed]

edit to save you the trouble and get straight to teh funneh.

Nothing funny about these bitches:

[Sky]

There was a great tv moment when some bug guy (Ruud?) let a bullet ant bite him. Good times.

I've been up to 3, which fucked me up for a couple days with pain & swelling (paper wasp). Lots of 1s and 2s, because I was a curious kid. Fire ants, honey bees, yellowjackets, they've all had a healthy nip at me.

[Lantyssa]

Cowkillers are really neat looking.  I always played with them when one stumbled into the neighborhood.

My dog returned from the vet with some slightly bad news: she is terribly overweight.  She weighed 71 pounds in February and yesterday weighed 81 pounds.  My wife asked me if they made diet wet food, and I did not even snicker.  I just said "It's half gravy, so probably not."

We looked at the bag of dry food and it gives an upper limit of 3.75 cups of dry food a day for the 80-100 pound category.  I would guess that she eats three times that in dry food per day.  She isn't going to be happy, no matter how this falls out.

My wife took her to the vet because she recently started breathing heavily at night.  This week she actually woke up so she could sit up and pant.  That, my friends, is a fat dog.

The word pounds should be spelt punds.

I don't think Drew Carey is a sensible replacement for Bob Barker, all the AARP members are going to be pissed off.  I suppose it might make younger people more willing to watch the Price is Right but how many of them are home during the day?  A bunch of old people are probably going to drop dead of shock with the first crude joke dealing with one of the model's anatomy.

Miscast I tells ya, misscast.

I wonder if I put the apostrophe for "one of the model's" is in the right place.

[Oban]

I used to watch the price is right when I was in University.

Maybe Drew has a high Q rating with 17-25 year olds?

Probably.  The only times I've ever watched The Price is Right even semi regularly were summer break, between classes or while unemployed.  Perhaps they are hoping that Drew's watchers will age with him much as Barkers did.

Discovered a rotting rabbit corpse in my front yard yesterday.  Pretty far along that I found it via smell. Trash pickup is on Monday. 

Anyone know anything that can cover up the smell of a corpse?

Uh, burying it? Jeez, where'd you grow up.

[Rasix]

That would have been the smart thing.  As of now, it's in my trash bin. 

The stench was just amazing. I cannot think in its presence.

[Reg]

Are you sure your garbage guys are actually willing to take it? You just might end up with a full set of garbage cans AND a rotting corpse if they're picky about stuff like that.

[Yoru]

Lots of baking soda? Alternately, fire. Fire solves all problems. :)

[WayAbvPar]

Lye. Or is it lime? Probably lime.

Also, dig a hole in the desert. It worked wonders for the mob.
