That was a lot of fun, and I was absolutely terrible at it. My favorites were Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Shark! Shark!

It came out in 79 and games were still being made into the late 80s.

It had 16 buttons (albeit the side buttons were ?almost always? Mirrored) and a multidirectional disk. And you had to keep a collection of plastic sheet inserts for each game. So bad, but I loved mine so much. I hated that the Atari only had a Joystick and 1 button at friends’ houses.

Ah, I think you’re thing of Elron Hubbard of Battlefield Middle Earth fame.

Well, I meant cake!

Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry…

I haven’t kink shamed anybody in the past and I’m sure not starting now.

Oil would be more likely to break down the silicone it’s made of and would make it have a shorter useful life.

Oh, I am familiar with those, I had one in black-and-white. The laminator has just superseded that; it is still my second favorite piece of office equipment.

Ha ha, I’m already ahead of you losers, I’ve been proudly pronouncing the K in Salmon this whole time.

“…In Church of England, you can’t say, “You must have tea and cake with the Vicar, or you die!” You can’t have extreme points of view, you know. The Spanish Inquisition wouldn’t have worked with Church of England.”

I love my laminator. Favorite office tool, evar.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised. I know quite a few people, including my wife who actively do not want to hear any information about politics for their mental health. It’s enough in my family that I keep up-to-date on it to be aware of what’s going on and can notify her of anything super important to our health and safety, but if my wife was as terminally online as I am, she would spiral into a mental health chasm relatively quickly.

She’s a physician and she already deals with enough BS out of health and human services and her patients dealing with the barrage of information that anything additional is just overwhelming.

I have also seen ATM also be “at the moment” or “ass to mouth”

Too many multiple meaning abbreviations…

First thing in the morning, ATM I make sure to look at the BBC.

It may be something my brain ingested at some point in the past from somewhere else, but if so I don’t remember it.

I always get a lot of impressed looks when I pull out a severed hand that I use to hold the rail while I hold on to the wrist/upper arm. I can tell they’re all jealous.

If you had the choice, would you rather the railing be greasy or exceptionally sticky?
