https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKKSI1OPGa4 What did I just watch? Youtube suggestion. No idea what the rules are or how it was scored except it seemed to be last man standing. 

Looks a bit like sumo scoring - once you're on the ground you're out. And the "last man standing" seems to be assumed if a team is down to 1 with at least 3 on the opposite side.

As noted in the 3d printing topic, I've got a hacker or did have one.

 

It appears I've had a Amazon transaction hacker in my account for past few months. Since none of them were huge amounts, I really didn't notice em till today. Since, I took vacation last week, I needed to see if I got a check deposited this morning, since I didn't get a credit alert. There was a 90 dollar transaction & I knew right then, I had a hacker. Since my last transaction was like Sept 20th or so & it was only for a phone screen protector....sigh

 

Not a good time to wait for a new card as my bank said it was taking 15 days for new cards. It use to be 7 to 10 days (damn COVID....again). I need to switch some things around that was tied to my card, hopefully nothing will be disturbed while I wait. I hate bank hackers but it felt like it's been awhile since I had one.

Some of you may recall my father passing in April ‘19. My stepmother has his ashes and I found out that she has been keeping them in his recliner at his business’s shop, around the gas heater where everybody always gathers. 
 

She showed up this morning to find his box had moved a bit, and an empty Miller bottle resting with him. 
 

Apparently, one of his friends decided Dad needed a night out, so took his remains off-roading and then for a few beers. 
 

He’s got weird friends. 

I've done similar. On Grandparent's Day in years past, I'd take grandma's box off the mantle and take her down to the restaurant for coffee. The waitstaff, being well used to me didn't have an adverse reaction, but several customers were somewhat freaked out by this.

Just learned that "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" won't be seen on broadcast TV this year. :grr:

It's available on Internet Archive [which is a tremendous resource] here: https://archive.org/details/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown_20181102

This level of heresy against the Great Pumpkin is unthinkable. What we are seeing is the result of an organized conspiracy to try and prevent a new generation of Pumpkinites from forming, as the Halloween Special is our primary means of getting the word out about the Benevolent Might of the Great Pumpkin. Possibly the strings here are being pulled by Corrupt Santa.

Consider this as L.O.T.S. contribution to the promotion of our plant based cousins who spread through extending tentacular vines.

And may you indeed be blessed by a visit from THE GREAT PUMPKIN!

Ok, while browsing MMF before crashing tonight before work. I came across this lovely thing from Rocket Pig:

 

720X720-store-thumbnail-skullgheist.jpg

 

It reminds me of the things in Time Bandits.....

 

Those things for some reason scared the holy heck out of me when I was young. I guess something about their shadows or just the scene, but yah...

 

& now I'm going to sleep!!!  :ik_oops:
