Out of the Blue

Happy Christmas Eve! We have had a couple of healthy snowstorms already this autumn, but even with winter having fallen, we are having what's become a traditional wet Christmas here. Here's hoping Santa is good to you... and remember, go easy on the eggnog..

If you notice, Rudolph is marking pretty much that exact spot, so I do not think it is possible to get much past 350!

350.4 is my best sling yet.

I got the exact same, and can't seem to top it...wonder if that's the limit?

350.4 is my best sling yet.

Although it's more of a catapult than a slingshot...

'Twas the night before christmas,
and all through the 'net
Blue was posting news,
and getting things set.

The lurkers were all tucked,
away in their beds,
while visions of board posts,
danced in their heads.

When out on the message boards,
there arose such a clatter,
Blue jumped from his bed,
to see what was the matter.

The trolls had attacked,
and were filling the board!
Blue grabbed his head,
and yelled, 'Dear Lord!'

The regulars were posting,
trying to keep up,
but the flames were increasing,
all they could yell was, "Shut up!"

Blue grabbed the keyboard,
and started his kicking,
posts were removed,
and the wounds they were licking.

"Off Dan, Off Sinner, off Adler too!
Off DDI, Off Fredster, and the rest of you few!"

As the board became silent,
and the web site became still,
I opened the web window,
and read a small shrill:

"Merry Christmas to all and to you
Merry Christmas to everyone,
Merry Christmas From Blue!"


*Apologizes to any trolls I listed that aren't actual trolls. I needed some names, so grabbed a few that looked like a flame. *

The newer bluetooth (2.4Ghz?) cordless mice and keyboards from MS and Logitech are meant to add no perceptable lag to gaming. The older ones definitely had some issues.

Santa looks to have thought I've been good. She just dropped a MS Wireless Desktop on my lap. Do these have a noticeable delay in FPS games, or anything for that matter? I looked at these the other week, but thought I might get myself one with just PS/2, although this says it has that and BT, because I have it in my mind these must be slower to respond... I don't actually know and don't want to rip it all open and not be able to change it for the different version.

Anyway. Hope it's a great time for all and, since santa was only wearing a santa hat, I think common sense should prevail and I stop babbling here and go to bed and see if I can get another present:)

Wishing everyone a happy and safe christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody! Have a great holiday season, and have lots of fun - but know when to slow down so too much fun doesn't land you in trouble...

"Ummmmmm...Eggnog...<drooling Homer sound>"

Hey anyone remember the episode where Homer did all the shopping and he bought nothing but Eggnog. Lisa was eating a bowl of sweet cereal and had used Eggnog and after her first bite she said "I am having chest pains!"
Damn that was funny!

Merry Christmas from a long time lurker!!

Well, various people in my family have almost been hit by cars on several occasions, including myself, so remember to keep those strafe left and right skills polished for drunk drivers.

Merry Christmas

It takes the elves 6 seconds to reach drop off...
It takes 3 seconds to overload the catapult...

Plan accordingly...and yes, it's a slow day here at work.

Boozer!

You make that sound bad!

Happy Holidays to all! Be careful, buckle up, and look out for that f$%*head changing lanes in front of you...

Drink Responsibly - and if you don't drink, that's ok, as it's more for me.
