I really like the dehydrated all-cheese snacks you can buy in Yuppiemarts now. Or you could before they got picked clean by virus-related panickers.

My favorite part of the toaster-grilled cheese sandwich always was the crispy bits at the edge, so....

mmm. cheese snacks.

In Dutch, they call these panic-buying hoarders "hamsters".

I love a nice hot ham & cheese sandwich!

Been having a lot of this while on self-quarantine

I'm gonna turn into after this is over...

Love it!

Wonder if you can do The Hamster Dance while wearing wooden shoes...

George Washington wore dentures but they were not made of wood. They were made of ivory and other people?s teeth.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I bought someone the vinyl of Fleetwood Macs Tusk for their Christmas last year.

Boldtusk is an orc in the Empires and Puzzles game.

I still keep an old online account going for a game that includes some Orc- things in it.

Orcs, goblins, elves, dwarves, pixies, knights, wizards, sorcerors. Empires and Puzzles has them all.

I swear, I haven't "gamed" since the days of Pac-Man and Qbert. I have nothing against games, but don't I already waste *enough* time screwing around when I ought to be doing something important?

Plus, I'm still stubbornly hanging on to my flip phone.

It'd be nice to have a better handle on what people are talking about when they talk games, though.

I feel the same way, Cleome.

'Course, when I was a kid they BANNED arcade games after a few years, because kids from poor families were hocking their mom's kitchen appliances for token money. And while my parents weren't poor, we certainly couldn't afford one of those big, stupid state-of-the-art Nintendo stay-at-home set-ups.

Ahh, South America in the 80s...

We had a Playstation when I was younger, but certainly could not afford buying too many games. We had maybe 5-10 games. My favorite was the Suikoden series. For each, you could recruit 108 characters to your cause.

Like with the Legion, I like big groups

I still like video games although I prefer turn-based strategy type on a PC to those requiring fast reflexes. Both my sons are deep into games so we talk about them a bit. I also frequent videogamegeek, an offshoot of boardgamegeek which is the largest site for boardgames (another major interest) on the net. Course I am not well enough to play them often but I still like to keep in touch.

According to the Boston Globe I have a child.

When I was little the local kindergarten expanded the number of students it would take. There was a line overnight to sign up kids and my brother Mike waited in line to sign me up.

The Boston Globe did a story on it. But they wrote that my brother waited in line for me and that my child would be attending that fall.

Even then Quis was really tall for his age.

A growing boy, Quis was.

I think I watched that Jerry Springer show: "Imaginary kid says 5 year old father has abandoned him."

Jerry Springer had been the mayor of Cincinnati.

'Let's not start talking about celebrities who become politicians. It makes me depressed.

Seconded. Let's talk instead about celebrities who are decent people who use their fame and fortune to try and make the world a better place. Elton John, for instance.

A beautiful topic, Annfie!

I don't follow much celebrity stuff, so the last things I heard about Elton John were a story about how he became a drug addict, being sued by an employee for harassment and a super-injunction preventing the UK press reporting on some tittle tattle. I was going to say that the stories must have been big to have spread into the main news, but I imagine the press having a field day and reporting it everywhere to get the clickbait in, and being piously enraged when they can't get their way.

Ah, clickbait. There's a Facebook group called Clickbait Crusaders, whose members are dedicated to spoiling clickbait. The practice is to post a screenshot of a clickbait-y Facebook post, and spoil the contents. Screenshots only so you don't reward the clickbaiters by giving them more clicks.
