Cinnamon Life.

The themed cereals all tasted like fruity garbage.   We'd get a box and then struggle to finish it.

Fun fact- there were 4 kids in our house, so we had anywhere from 10-12 different boxes of cereal at a time for variety.  My (single) uncle just couldn't wrap his head around why we had so many.

A couple of different names. Jubilee Day seemed to be the most common. 

It was a Texas African American observance for a long time, and other states had similar celebrations on other dates. Juneteenth was settled on sometime after that. It became a national holiday in 2021.

The tricky thing was when it became a federal holiday.   It had some way short run-up (like a week's notice maybe?) in 2021 so there was confusion when the banks and post offices were suddenly closed that year.

I guess maybe it was a Lake States thing then...

This has got me thinking back to the days of wearing bowling shoes everywhere accept the bowling ally = So tragically unhip it absolutely had to become the height of hipsterism.  The weird thing is I cannot seem to find of single picture online of a typical 90's grunge kid in bowling shoes.....

I don't think that was a thing here.   The grunge kid footwear was Doc Martens.

I realized that after lol. Just realized its Weird that a tropical-ish state has a few hockey teams. Prob not a lot of kids playing pickup on the local pond during winter. But so does Cali and we don’t either so…….

 

Specifically since I was referencing the fact that they are both Dolphins and Heat fans. 

It's not exactly widely advertised that the Panthers are in the Miami area, so if you don't normally follow the NHL you may not know where in Florida they are.

At least people show up to your California hockey games.   Tampa has no issue, but during the season the Panthers are about half full, with most being fans of the visiting team.

@docile tapeworm vs @Mega Tank is the weirdest same-team fan rivalry ive ever seen. Sexiest too. 
 

Please tell me you both are marlins and lightning (panthers?) fans too. 

Panthers are Miami area, whereas the Lightning is in Tampa.   Refuse to call it Tampa Bay.

Slapped a price on it

I've probably completed III and IV to around 80%, but I can never get into any of the games enough to complete them.  I also have a lot of hours into the original on PS1 and Vice City, but with those games, I was mostly joy riding around the cities.  I probably only completed about 25% of those missions.  

I didn't finish III, Vice City, or San Andreas either.   The nice thing with IV and V is it'll restart at checkpoints on the bigger missions.

Same.

While I have not played San Andreas itself, I have a lot of hours into many of the other GTA games.  It's crazy how many hours I have into this series and I've never beaten a single one of the games.  

You owe it to yourself to beat IV and V.   It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book but in video game form!

Gave it an 8.  

FINALLY YOU CAN SWIM!

Fingers crossed it arrives undamaged though.

The one I snagged from Best Buy shipped in a perfectly sized box, so hopefully Amazon does the same.

Amazon shipped my Ocarina amiibos in a box, so there is hope!

My wife said she saw someone walking out of target with a collectors edition like an hour ago. To be fair though they could have had it preordered and are now just picking it up. 

That Amazon one was up for several hours.   Anywhere else it popped up it went out of stock within minutes.

That's gone, now Amazon:

Does anyone have the Wiz's list from NA where he was keeping a running content list of games? 

SETH!

If it helps, @the_wizard_666 is here too.

This is live (for now) at Best Buy

Dude, I love Red Meat.  Probably haven't seen it since they stopped distributing The Onion.  Man that feels like a long time.

I think there's a Red Meat book or two.  I know there's definitely one as I bought it eons ago.

Is it the same green as an Xbox 360 game or the green from Super Luigi U?

You can google a list of those typical interview questions.

I'd print them out, along with some answers (and don't be afraid to make shit up, especially the "have you missed a deadline" one if you haven't).   I'm assuming you get those during the phone interviews?

And I get it.   I am fucking horrible at interviews; if I wasn't already a lock for any position I applied for, I would never get hired!

If you bet on the horse that does his business right before the race starts, you might be a redneck!  

I thought that was only for greyhounds?

Figured I'd give all you wannabe popos the chance at this before I list it on ebay (or try to anyway).

This is the yellow K3vbot version.

$250 shipped to the US, no trades at this time.

Thanks!

I don't get why the Bengals drafted another edge rusher with a top tight end prospect sitting right there. Adding a depth guy as a position they were fine at seems questionable over getting Joe Burrow another potentially elite weapon.

Because a really good TE will still be available in future rounds?

I gave it an 8.   This game is the entire reason I mailed my Playstation to a stranger in California with a $50 money order to install a mod chip.

Then bought a burned copy of the Japanese release of Tekken 3 for 10 bucks from ebay.   Good times!

I once saw that world’s strongest men competitors eat like 10,000 calories a day.  Now to start lifting…

I read an article about The Rock that listed his daily schedule. He eats fish like 6x a day.

I remember Michael Phelps would eat 12 fried egg sandwiches for breakfast to help with his 10k calorie daily intake.

It also blows my mind that Joe Thomas had to eat 8,000 calories a day to maintain his lineman weight, while most of us with the offensive lineman build are just naturally that size.

Breakfast pot pies?   I gotta look for these around here!
