Archive for June, 2002

Ever had your Playstation 2 lock up on ya? I had it happen once on either SSX or SSX Tricky and then it just happened now on Frequency.. ah well. Still a much better reliability rate than anything on the PCs. :-)

Well we’ve been getting what we need — rain and a lot of it. Unfortunately, we’re still gonna end up getting only half of what the normal rainfall should be for June. As much as I like the sunny weather, looking around and seeing how yellow all the grass is everywhere around here, and reading about how low the resevoirs are, I hope it just keeps on raining!

Hmm, talk about your lame and meaningless claims. X-Box ready? Umm, basically I think that means it’s PS2 ready, GameCube, VCR ready, etc. All that means is minimally the thing has coax or RCA inputs. How lame!

An Alexander County, Missouri Deputy pulled a car over on I-57 about 2
miles north of the Missouri-Arkansas state line. When he Deputy asked the river why he was speeding, the driver answered hat he was a magician and a juggler and he was on his way to Branson to do a show that night and didn’t want to be late.

The deputy told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the
driver would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn’t give him a ticket.

The driver told the deputy that he had sent all of his equipment on
ahead and didn’t have anything to juggle.

The deputy told him that he had some flares in the trunk of his squad
car and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler stated that he could, so the deputy got three flares, lit them and handed them to the
juggler.

While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the
squad car, a drunk got out and watched the performance briefly, he then went over to the squad car, opened the rear door and got in. The deputy observed him doing this and went over to his squad car, opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, “Might as well take my ass on to jail, there’s no way in hell I can pass that test.”

I’m not sure how well THQ will be able to translate these titles to the GBA, but I’m hoping they do a good job.

Just when we thought the economy was on its way back… though the job market and all hasn’t reflected that at all. Regardless, all these big companies screwing up is screwing over a lot of people, both directly and indirectly. This latest crap from WorldCom is affecting people and markets worldwide.
