"Boxcar" Stalvepolp was the foremost collector of porcine megalodonical oil paintings in this hemisphere, which is almost certainly the best hemisphere. And those take up a good bit of cubic foots.

Ollie likes whipped cream, but he gets mad if pictures are taken of him liking whipped cream. Made self-conscious by ribald modern media, no doubt!

I bought a book on Amazon about the Battle of the Nile, and for some reason they suggested that I might also like this book, even though I've never bought a book that has anything to do with religion or politics, with the possible exception of all those biographies I have of Victorians who went "what manner of thing is this?" while firing a full broadside of grapeshot into some decrepit native who happened to have been standing around on his island, eating a guava, when a flotilla of Her Majesty's Bestest sailed by:

Given that this likely-terrible book seems to acknowledge an ongoing dialogue right there on its cover, I was naturally curious about what sequels might be waiting on the publisher's hard drive:

I didn't want to do Danger Zone, because someone already did it better than I could, but I had to doย something, or else we'd all look like saps.

On that note, I also need to speak with somebody about why and how that movie only has a 6.8 on IMDB. Die Hard and Terminator 2 have appropriately good ratings, but Top Gun and Robocop/Robocop 2 are way too low. I think maybe it's just a problem of perspective. I am a normal human, so I think those movies are good. However, maybe some people are communist charlatan primeval monsters -- literally lizard-people -- so they can't see that those movies are good. Thor 2ย should not have a better rating than Top Gun or Robocop. Thor 2 is to 1987'sย Jaws: The Revenge as 1987'sย Robocop is to --ย hell, what's a good action movie that came out in 2013. I don't know, I'm done with this. Gonna go pull my head off like one of the prototype Robocops. weeeooo

Back in the game, okay? I had to sell my overclocked orange iBook that ran on CF cards, plus the indigo one I put a real SSD into a couple years ago, to pay for grad school, or at least groceries while at grad school. But now I've pulled this PowerBook 1.33 outta storage and gotten another iBook, so I'm all set to do it all over again, to create another Quake 2, StarCraft, and WarCraft 2 LAN kit.ย This iBook was walking-around money, not "save up for it" money --ย I wanna grab a Key Lime iBook, as well as a Cube, but those things are pretty expensive. Of course, it's particularly stupid because Iย had both of those things, but sold them in early 2008 for a lot less than what I will undoubtedly have to pay for them now. My Cube even had a 1.4 GHz upgrade, wastrel that I was.

I'll grab a Transcend PATA SSD for the iBook this time, to compare it to the KingSpec I put in the last one, as well as a 4400 mAh battery. Runcore and OWC also do a PATA SSD, but they use real parts for theirs, as opposed to things they found in their cereal boxes, so they are too expensive.
