I think I read somewhere that Nintendo packaged the system with the robot so it could be marketed as a toy to retailers that were reluctant to stock another home video game system after the video game crash of 1983.

My Nintendo came with duck hunt, gyromite and a robot with no super Mario Bros. I remember being jealous of everyone playing and talking about Mario but when I look back, that robot was pretty cool!

200 is enough to have fun, but there are different types of 200.

i’m gonna guess you’re talking about vertical vengeance. which, great map.

I’m not. A frankly shocking number of conservatives also didn’t realize that the Colbert Report was satire

Also, why don’t we have timing gears?

It has this 90' vibe, I like it...

“Right back here, Officer. In this pocket.”

That game is called THe legend of zelda: Spirit Tracks.

None of which has anything to do with the standards for government issued and recognized ID.

Huh? You need to prove you’re a student, which means they have records on you from your application, housing, etc.

Because while YMMV state by state or college by college, most college IDs require very little if any additional proof of identification to get one. Certainly less than one must provide to obtain a driver’s license or a concealed carry license. In fact, that YMMV from state to state or college to college in terms of…

Just take the Gurney bump and make it a Lincoln bump.

Note the technic pin-hole brick on the sides, similar to the modulars. This will most likely (hopefully) connect to more future HP sets than just the whomping willow. This is a great start!

I find that turn your head lights on and off (low beams) instead of flashing high beams to be a better way of communicating someone else doesn’t have their lights on.

Usually cars heading toward you from the opposite direction flash their lights if they want to indicate something (which, again, I think is actually frowned up in the highway code, but has just become the norm anyway), and it’s highly unlikely people in front of you would notice or possibly even see the hazards…

Look up U.S. laws. Minimum speed limit on the interstate and U.S. highway system is 45 mph. The signs posing the speed limit are the MAXIMUM limit, not a simple suggestion of what might be a prudent speed if its convenient and you feel like giving a shit, like most people think.

I have a hard time believing that anybody would ever buy an automatic Miata, that’s my takeaway from this article. I’ve never seen an automatic Miata either, which is kinda funny because it’s the exact opposite most of the time.

Aw, heck. I ride (BMW & Harley in the stable just now), and I stay the heck away from these guys. Only thing worse than being in traffic with a Hayabusa: Having Johnny Law think you’re pals with the Hayabusa.
