purpledaddy

I'm on the verge of CoD 4 pretty soon. I played the first one decades (well it feels) ago and I loved the rollercoaster effect of moving and shooting and moving and shooting and somewhere catching up with your breath. The only one knock I heard for this sequel though is that, just like carnival rides, the story & therefore the game, tends to be very short and quick. Is it true? (And I ain't good enough at any game to do an online multi-player thing. )

Gotta love scavenger hunts! I remember when my older brother would take me snark hunting... well nevermind.

Mom Faces Trial for Leaving Child in Car By DON BABWIN, AP3 hours ago CHICAGO — Coyne's attorney, Michelle Forbes, argued that Coyne did not break the law any more than a mother who parks in front of a school in a rainstorm and leaves an infant in the car as she runs a few feet to pick up another child.

She plays some really tough ladies!

Mary Ann?? I hope Mrs. Purpledaddy looks as sexy at 69 in a mugshot. Although maybe she does look a little like Willie Nelson there though. I now kinda wonder what Ginger looks like now.

"You say good 'buy' " on the Target commercials.

Well fortunately I heard they stopped showing prisoners '60's surfer movies!

I don't know any popular songs anymore. But I know annoying songs from commercials. I am almost resolved not to take my children to see "Horton Hears a Who" next week b/c of their rendition of "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" by Journey. MrZ: I'd be careful if you don't want Mr.C to demote you!

Maybe she thought he looked too much like Vincent D'nofrio! (Pvt Pyle in the movie.)

Originally posted by: Duke87 You know, it's interesting. I never get "lost" in the truest of senses. I've more than once had to say "We're not lost. I know exactly where we are. I just don't know where exactly we have to get to!" And even then, I'm good at sorta sniffing things out on instinct. Me, I look upon asking for directions as a last resort. I don't want to ask for directions somewhere without at least trying to find it myself. quote> I think that speaks for the average guy, including myself! Originally posted by: Duke87 There are those of us who don't care where milk comes from so long as we can go to the store and buy a carton of it. I am not one of those people. I want to know how it works and be able to do it. The answer doesn't satisfy me. I want to know how it was arrived at. That is, after all, what separates the nerds from the average Joes. quote> I think that speaks for the average geek, including those in our IT department!

Oh well, I'm lucky if my Post-its last an hour.

Originally posted by: Duke87 [ Originally posted by: purpledaddy another common stereotype: a guy who doesn't ask for directions! quote> Does it count if I actually know where I'm going and therefore actually have no need to ask for directions and am not just being thickheaded?quote> I think you're just being stubborn. Unless this is your normal route to school, work, or get groceries, you need to at least use the maps on Google, Yahoo, or MapQuest first. Now, as a fellow bull-headed coot, I tell my wife that I get lost on purpose so that I can know where I am going later on. It's just incredible enough for her to believe.

^That's b/c you fit into another common stereotype: a guy who doesn't ask for directions! Oh, and before all them fancy coffees(yuck!), the people who dispensed sodas (colas?) were actually called jerks!

I knew this site was held up by Scotch tape!

^Yep, I'm proud to set a bad example by never had grown up myself!

I don't label anyone with those terms because I never heard of them before in my life! They kinda sound like something out of Dr. Suess! (My empty navy suit tends to scare people in restaurants though.)

Well in the Real Life Bureau of Bureaucracy I own a humongous collection of paper clips that are scattered throughout our several floors that fellow bureaucrats use and borrow at their pleasure. (w/ due to homage to comedian Steven Wright! )

Unless someone comes up with a color invert, upside down, someone's else first ever avatar day of course.

Someone told me once that you better C sharp or else you'll B flat. To this day I still have no idea what that means.
