NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 This was the first ever internet browser I remember using my senior year of high school/frosh year of college. Then Microsoft explorer sent it the way of the dodo bird eventually... 2

My friend had a Superman mold so we could lay wire in it and make bendable superheroes. I used to love Creepy Crawlers. I tell some of my younger friends about them and they listen in amazement at the hot plate (remember the molds got so hot that they had to be placed in the "cooling tray" - basically just a water bath), and the critters pried out using something like a cross between a sewing needle and an ice pick called the "prying tool". We also had Creeple People and the Fright Factory. The new "safe" version is just pathetic. 1 1

When nobody was afraid to get a little "corona" on their hands and if they did, washed it off with benzene. Leukemia Schmemia! ? ? Glad they still make Marlboro Men like us! Remember him: "Wet" transformers and leaking PCB transformer oil, remember them... I laugh at them too: Sorry... I went a bit over the top. Nothing is wrong with the grass. It needed to die anyway. Who likes to weedeat...

Last time I looked it was a sporting goods store that was originally in the plaza across Sheridan - Sorrentino's.

Find the item you want on the shelf, write down the SKU, go to the register to pay, then wait by the pickup area for it to be sent down the conveyor from the warehouse/stockroom.

The Dean Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 22 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: Nope, not scene blue screen of death in years. I see them all the time. Of course I still work on old people's computers with older OS. But Windows 10 also has a BSOD, just looks different. Apple has it's own version--but it isn't blue. I'm guessing Linux has a comparable screen when the OS can't load.
