I always just considered 8.1 Windows 9 and called it that now and then, only to annoy people that would get anal about it. Same reason why I like to mispronounce asus.

Wow, they wanted to distance themselves from Win8 so much that they pretended they forgot how to count. Actually... if the second Xbox was numbered 360, and the third one was numbered 1, maybe they really DON'T know how to count!
Windows 6 was Vista, and 6.1 was Windows 7, so it's almost a tradition now.

Well, despite having had some complications on eBay with a seller sending me the wrong game, everything has been worked out. She decided to send me the game that I wanted all along, Street Racer, and sell me Speed Racer at a massive discount.

And Street Racer on the SNES is awesome! Speed Racer...not so much.

Mike's posts make me want to learn to be better with my hands. Christ, even building some shelves for my games.

But then, I've already got shelves for most of them... I have no idea where I'd put more shelves with my current setup.

Bad for him. Very bad. Shame on him.

DUI.


Now here is the thing...Celebrities and sports-folk get DUI's all the time. Probably daily. The one question asked is always "If you're so rich, why not hire a driver?". I've yet to receive response on this one.

Excuses include:

No on my schedule
I don't make as much as you think
Drivers are hard to find/the wait is too long
and so on.

I'm so lost on this one. In college, when most of my spare change came from work or book buy backs, I would always chip in for a cab. No excuse for drunk driving.
I still have yet to get a reasonab
