  • Weird thing is, I found out my new workplace lets us office people do Halloween costumes.

    So that got me to thinking...

    Since Hugo Weaving played "Agent Smith" in the Matrix Trilogy, AND Elrond in LOTR, I was thinking of combining the two, and being "Agent Elrond".

    Or, get a fake chef's jacket, and an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh headdress and fake goatee, and go as "Gordon Ramses".

    And I did briefly think of trying to find an outfit and going as one of The Doctors...

    But then I thought no one would get it...so I might just do what I've done the last couple of years and wear my jack-o-lantern suit that I have.

      • In the endless process of cleaning and disposing of things, I found the battered book that holds my usernames and passwords to a ton of sites ... some of which no longer even exist. Ah, the days when the Internet was so much younger ... as was I.

          I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now...

            Same here! I've found a radio station that plays all the Boomer stuff from the 60s (and 50s). I generally let it run nonstop.

                I've never been there. Must see if there's one in the area and give it a try.

                  • I had mad skeeball skillz when I was a pup...noplace around here to practice though

                    (an adult skeeball league...now that would be interesting)

                    A friend sent me a DC-9 PlaneTag...Googling the registration number for the hell of it shows there's a chance I flew on the exact plane it came from. That's pretty cool.

                      Back when my niece was a little one, she was asked what she liked about Chuck E. Cheese. She commented, "I like the rat."

                      • I put Magikarp Jump on my phone and my son already managed to kill one. He made it jump too high and a Pigeotto flew by, snatched it out of the air and took off, presumably to devour it. Nature is cruel.

                            I've only heard "boomer" refer to a ballistic missile submarine. I don't think the Air Force has any of those.

                              • The "Boomer" stuff from the days when I first wrestled myself into a pair of bell-bottom pants ... and later tried wearing mini-skirts. Those Boomers.

                                And speaking of boomers ... I thought we either had a bad storm in the distance, or there was an invasion underway.

                                I'd forgotten about the fireworks tonight.

                                Even though earlier today I saw several FB warnings about keeping your pets calm.

                                Both my cats are comatose ... does that count as calm?
