Also-

I’ve worked for two European companies, one French, one Swedish, each with offices around the globe, and universally, every person I dealt with overseas spoke English. It’s almost unfortunate that English has become the ‘langua franca’ of the business/finance world, because it erodes any actual necessity for students…

Sadly, I think not- it’s more like it’s done in a ‘stream-of-utter-lack-of-self-consciousness’.

Heh, I remember that... and FF, too. And Punkbuster, which became VAC, was spawned out of the TFC community.

Bet she went home and put this on loop whilst enjoying her filthy foreign foods.

Did you play any organized TFC? I played that competitively for about 6 years... hell, I even made a ‘skillz’ video!

That’s hilarious; about three weeks ago my wife discovered the Creator modular buildings, and we went on a TOTAL Lego bender... she built all of the available ones, and is now pining for the retired ones as well.

True that, but I’d have been more impressed if he’d worked in a reference to Ken Griffey’s grotesquely swollen jaw.

Oy, next they’ll be coming for our urinal cakes...

Bobcat’s finest hour...

WHO ruined Twinkies...?

I’ve had two 8th gen SI sedans- a 2007 and a 2009 (my current daily). When the first one appeared in my driveway, I had no idea even what an SI was, as my wife had goner car-shopping with her mother. The car was ostensibly meant to replace mother-in-law’s older beater, so my son could drive her around to the doctor,…

Archie was strictly “vacation reading” fare. Road trips to the Cape, etc, always accompanied by Circus Peanuts...

“TIBBY!!1!”

I’m playing Lego Jurassic World and it does indeed rock (as do most Lego games); however, I must take issue with your comment. The handheld version of Lego LOTR was a horrible, awful, unplayable- and clearly untested and rushed- mess of a game. Very nearly put me off TT Lego games forever, it was that bad.

Dammit, dude, there is no “T” in Cap’n!

I’m not a fan of MMA but I used to watch a lot of boxing. This McGregor fellow reminds me a bit of 90’s mini-phenom ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed- whom I adored- what with the wildly unorthodox style and the whole “I’m a raging fucking character you cannot look away from”.

The wife’s cousin, who used to live in Gurnee, told her that IBSP is no longer safe for regular folks, as it’s supposedly been taken over by ‘the gangs’. Just who those people are I’m not sure, but I’m skeptical. I really really want to go and spend a day by “the lake”, as i sorely miss the ocean, and it’s a really…

Illinois Beach State Park, circa 2004... retro, in the fact that in simpler times, no one thought twice about putting a nuclear power plant on the shores of Lake Michigan. It’s only the source of drinking water for the third largest city in the country!

And why is it *always* these guys (Pontiac in the first and last frames...)?
