Moxie is the best. My wife and I bring home two twelve packs every time we visit her parents. The strange thing is...it is actually brewed in Atlanta.
You're welcome.

I'm actually looking foward to Eurovision, even if it's only because the inclusion of Australia makes sure the contest will be even more hilarious than usual.

Hey, between old Russian ladies, epic saxophone solos, and Lordi, Eurovision is quite entertaining.

Dunno if this should go in here or Random Gaming Thoughts, but I think I'm going to try reeeeallly hard not to buy any gaming stuff this summer and just focus on getting the last little bits of my debt paid off (I have very little, under 2k, but that's more than I'd like to have) and getting a small savings back since I haven't had any of that since I bought my house 5 years ago. I just got 2 boxes of NES stuff from beatnix, I've paid for another box from dsh that I'm picking up next week, I've got 2 different arcade buys from mjmjr en route from Japan, I think I'm finally getting the Gamecube mod that I paid for a freaking year ago delivered, and I've got my CPS2 multi cart en route from Poland. I have way, way more than enough new stuff to hold me for ages, and my "I want to collect" urge can most likely be sated by the NES cases that are now officially being made showing up on my door and my getting covers printed for all of those (and then rearranging my shelves to fit them all)

So let's see if I can resist until at least when I get home from Dragoncon in early September. I know I'm addicted, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

I haven't found any houses yet. Really liked 3 and put bids and no go. Damn this is going to take a while and my wife and I are getting depressed.
Anyways I hooked up the old VCR the other day and have been watching the star wars trilogy and actually enjoyed watching the old vhs versions. No add one or extra footage. Got a friend who says he's has a bunch of vhs tapes for free.
I really don't mind vhs. Hell I can pick movies up for 99 cents and buy 2 get 1 at savers

It's made in six locations across the country. The only reason we have it around me is because a local independent bottling company has been making it since 1945.

Their current headquarters seems to be in Bedford, New Hampshire.

You know, while I'm not a fan of the song in the first place, I concur with my neighbours that the singer was just beyond awful on the actual stage. He wasn't that bad before going to Eurovision :lol:

I had to put on Hard Rock Hallelujah to get the taste out of my mouth after those videos.
