I DO miss 8 and 16 bit games very much. as well as old silent films. They reminded me of the good ol' days, yes the good ol' days when it was a simpler time, a more wholesome time. It was atime when things were made for quality, instead of the ellaborate special effects, and advanced graphics designed to "Rock our socks".

The solution is simple. we must remove all elaborate and long processed nonsense from films and games and pack them away in a little box labelled "Do not open". one day someone may open it but it will be long after we are all dead and gone, so as far as we are concerned, we will have accomplished out mission.

This howeve ris easier said than done. First we must round up all the ellaborate and long processed nonesnse, then find a big enouch box. Then find a sharpie big enough to print the label on the box without running out of ink (as using multiple sharpies would become exspensive and we will be working on a very limited budget, so far i have found 45 cents and some string behind the couch but i hope to save more until i have a whole dollar) then we must find someone who aspires to open the box but never will, THEN we have to make it so that everyone in his bloodline is taught that the "family mission" is to get that box open, then we gotta make sure that no one in that bloodline opens, or attempts to open the box, until the last of us dies.

DO YOU THINK WE CAN DO IT?

It is very doubtful whether...

1. Any box marked, "Do Not Open", with Sharpie or other, will be opened immediately, perhaps even by you. Pandora's box, remember?

2. Human evolution does take longer than a weekend, even if this found individual can extend his or her bloodline is far less time.

3. I want to live a little longer please, and having conditions set forth to encourage our untimely deaths is a little disconcerting.

What I want to know is why people get so romantically attached to technology, barely old, when the new is so much better? How does this happen?

I was hoping someone would be smart enough to see that there is a connection in this theory to pandoras box with our me telling them, that person is you MSW.

I am not sure how it happens, but i am more of a fan of older technologies than new myself. But i am not opposed to new.

They're both fine choices, whatever floats your electric boat.

― Matt (Matt), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

How silly; everyone knows boats use manpower only. You could get a dreadful shock and die if boats were electric. Besides, what would you plug into when in the middle of the ocean?

― MSW (MSW), Thursday, 21 April 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Electric eels, naturally.

no, i tried to do that once, we were stalled in the ocean for 40 days and 40 nights. if only there were two of each creature. any way we found some AAA's in several suitcases and backpakcs and using them we managed to inch to the hearest port, which...unfortunately...was Iraq.

Are you sure the "hearest port" was not Portugal? The remnents of the Moors probably confused you.

― MSW (MSW), Friday, 22 April 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

remnets? Is that like those dreamcatcher things?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 22 April 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

No, but it is exactly like remnets.

I was pretty sure that it was Iraq due to the sand. I thought it was portugal, i saw the suffering people, the terrible conditions, the horrific sanitation, then i saw the sand and i knew it was Iraq.

They've got sand in Portugal too. Well, on the bits around the edges they have anyway. Albufeira has sand. And sangria. And sardines.

Sangria sand is rather sorry
Probably deposited by a speeding lorry.
Easy though to avoid the grit
Unless you drink it till you spit.

Beautiful poetry MSW.

You poor chap; if nothing else, you are persistent.

I wish I could (Censored), but I have limited intellengence and and even less capacity. One blog is about all I can handle. Is your need to have people join your own board an ego thing? Why can't you play along here with all these nice (used very loosely) people?

― MSW (MSW), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I I did not set up the board to let it rot. PLEASE COME.

It's an old, old story. If you build it, so the saying goes, they will mill around like sheep and then get distracted by their own baaaing until they forget you built it and you feel like clubbing them over the head and shouting in their ears, "STUPID SHEEP! I BUILT IT! NOW GET OUR STUPID SHEEP ARSES MOVING." And yet, they will not come.
