There is a poll up at GameStooge for the "first FPS (first-person shooter) that you loved".  They had options ranging all the way from Wolfenstein 3D to the Halo franchise.  Made me think back a bit and come to a conclusion: no matter when I feel that I am "done" with shooters and have found a "good enough" game to end all games, there is another game around the corner worthy of my devotion!  Walk through my FPS history with me, if you wish...

When I move to Alaska, I think I'll start an All-Alaska clan named (are you ready for this?)... 2Cold2Play. Ba-dum-TSHH!!! Thank you, I'll be here sporadically with worthless blogs when I feel like it.

By the way, I'm not planning on moving to Alaska any time soon.  Especially not with winter coming soon.  But maybe I could move up there and live with the grizzlies.  Like Grizzly Man, but without the "turning into a bear turd" part.

Speaking of turds, um, nah I'm not gonna go there.

I went shopping last night to fill some voids in my home entertainment lineup.

Wanted: good sound reproduction in my bedroom when I wake up in the morning, also whenever else needed.

Ideas: HD radio, streaming internet music, streaming music from my PC, some kind of alarm clock/table radio.

Solution:
Denon S-52 table radio

One of the side effects of Cialis (a drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction) is stated as "delayed backache".

Hmmm... you've got a 60-yr. old impotent man having sex for the first time in 12 years and you wonder why he may possibly have a backache?!?!?  Must be the drug, right?

Other potential side effects include a dopey grin on your face and an acute awareness of how saggy and flabby your ancient body is.

So George Carlin floats up to heaven and is greeted by St. Peter at the Pearly Gate (yeah, it's just one gate... why was it ever pluralized?).

"Howdy, Pete!" says George.

"Welcome." says St. Peter.

"I am so glad I don't have to work stand-up comedy any more." continued George. "I got so tired of doing that '7 words' routine. I had better material, but all the rubes just wanted to hear me say '$hit' and 'f*ck' all the-"

At that point, St. Peter interrupted George Carlin. "You can't say those words up here, my son."

"Really?" intoned Mr. Carlin.

I said goodbye to a young friend today.  Jimmy the turtle, about whom I have blogged before, has moved into a new home.  Here he is in his moving van:

Slowly going toward his new home in a creek just by the White River in Indiana:

circa 1985... I had a wristwatch that transformed into a jet, my classmate had the watch pictured above.  He liked my watch; I liked his.  We traded and we were both happy.  Sadly, I can't find any pics of the jet-transforming wristwatch on the net (it wasn't an actual Transformer - it was a cheap generic toy).  Ah, childhood!
