Certain models of the 2003 Motorola MPx200 clamshell phone contained a ringtone that was blatantly just the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario with different notes.

REGINALD: Hello, 911? Yes, my friend put on the mask from The Mask and now he's acting abnormally. BEARTATO (green): "I'M SSSSSMOKING!" REGINALD: Green, yeah. Real cartoony. Yeah, he's saying all the lines but he's not getting them right. BEARTATO (spinning in a tornado): "SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME!" REGINALD: I see. And that's the only solution? Mm hmm. No, I understand. Thank you. BEARTATO (hitting self with large mallet): "OH, BEHAVE!" REGINALD (shedding a tear while loading a shotgun) BEARTATO (dreamworks face): "DO *NOT* GO IN THERE!"

What a good movie that was. I wonder if they ever made a sequel.

I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

Working through the Oz series with my 8y/o and I have to say, if you're only familiar with the material that made it into movies, you're missing out on some prime stuff

Just the smell billowing off his hair alone

I can't imagine a more revolting dork than tarantino when he was 15

Imagine how much you'd gag if you met tarantino when he was 15

I’m going around a friend’s house for cheese soup. I have kept myself in deliberate ignorance so I can enjoy it like I did From Dusk Til Dawn

I've been kicking myself because I can't remember my icq number and that feels like it must mean the dementia's setting in. But I CAN remember the 7-digit number that was either my CompuServe email or my first broadband email. Or my icq number. And I don't know which arghh

Trump is going to try and install Jake Gyllenhaal as the new Prince of Persia because of a movie premiere he remembers attending 16 years ago.

The three ages of British nerd are 'that Top of the Pops set dressing has been in Doctor Who', 'on a rewatch, The Tomorrow People is shite', and 'oh God, I'm older than Richard Vernon was when he played Slartibartfast, which tbf is younger than you'd think'.

4 hours for newcomers to beat Maniac Mansion blind isn't a test in search of answers. It's a test in search of a narrative.

muhuhu

The signature feature is that the use of a full boost bar in one go will generate an instant refill. Additionally the series Crash Junctions expertly weave the mechanics from oh sorry never mind

Well this is the salient point then really isn't it. What actually is the line between "don't wanna" and burnout if crossing into depression is too far? That's why I posted this, I can never figure out what the difference is (or if there is one! Maybe "don't wanna" is important!)

and I always just put it down to "well I guess my interests shifted!" even though my whole personality is that my interests have never once shifted about a single thing)

(reading back over this I think it reads as dismissal of burnout, what I was going for was that thing where you make fun of your own failure to recognise it in yourself. I made a video years ago that was so much hard punishing work that I couldn't bear to make another one even though I wanted to

Stylized digital illustration of Mulder and Scully from the X Files turning to look at camera at something, flashlights in hand. A UFO is flying by overhead, highlighted by an X in the sky. There are other X shape motifs in the shape of the flashlight beams nd the tree bark.

Do you want to believe?

Guess who's been rewatching the X Files~

Ah, now there we go, that's burnout isn't it. That is burnout and a half. Wow.

Hanging out with my niece this week - she’s three - and she told me she had a boyfriend. I was like, oh at school? She was like, no, in heaven, he got very, very old. So I was like ‘oh lordt’ and I asked her what his name is/was.

His name is Ari and he has hair like mine that’s ’sometimes grey’.

When the government ignores this and continues to do what the AI techbros say, I'm going to think it's finally safe for us to assume they've all got season passes to the island and it's being used as blackmail

had a dream that it finally happened and woke up so devastated

I always just assumed it was the same thing as how I can be obsessed with a particular game for months and then be sick of it and start a new one, but I guess maybe when you obsess over anything you can burn those neuro pathways down to a crisp and need time to regrow them

I'm currently sick of drawing, but it always comes back! Usually when I'm sick of writing!

ohhhhh

wait, did we just come up with a fancy word for sick-of-this

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

Fifty minutes.

about to gasp my last breath from thirst, but sadly water is in other rooms. let's see how long before I manage to wrench myself out of this nice comfy chair
