I'm out of here, good people - busy day tomorrow.

Take it easy and have fun ;-)

Could also go with "slimy", "speckled with faded yellow, red and brown spots", or the perennial favorite, "Oh dear god, where did that green stuff come from?!?!"

Well, book-learning isn't really much of a requirement, so while IRT isn't an entirely accurate portrayal, let's just say that I don't run into many people in my profession who have a college education. I'm going to leave it at that.

Yes, I am an owner-operator and the truck is mine and paid for even. I have a 2006 International 9400i currently, though around the beginning of July, I will be picking up my new truck (yay!): a 2014 Kenworth T660. I'm just waiting it to be built. :-) (That's why the picture of my truck in my avatar pic is facing away from the camera -- it has a complex now that it knows it's being replaced *smirk*)

As far as the power thing is concerned: I have a healthy respect for the power under the hood. I think that's why I've not had any incidents in the nearly 900,000 miles I've driven. Those truckers who get too much of a rush over it are the ones who start having problems.
No, and rumors of the blinker-fluid shortage are widely exaggerated. I actually think there's an energy field that surrounds certain cars that deactivates the brains of those who enter the driver-side door. =P

Indeed, this thread has the same atmosphere as those wild parties I remember from youth - sleeping bags everywhere, various odors mostly repulsive, daylight outside, loud snoring, someone in half-stupor checking the bottles for leftovers...

heh, no, no cheese. lol

Actually, I'm delivering a load of oilfield chemicals. Houston is a hub for that. After that, I will pick up a load of sporting goods to take up to the Pittsburgh area. =)

As far as my earlier question: I ended up picking Long Live the Queen as the first game to download from the sale. After playing it 3 times, I've decided this is vaguely reminiscent of how I felt playing Oregon Trail way back on the Commodore PET back in the late 70s/early 80s: Play for a while, get killed. Start over, play for a while, get killed. Play again, get killed.

Me likey. lol

Thank God this thing is over and as I thought - it was a big love/hate affair for me. I love the GOG sales and usually pick up something and managed to fill a dozen gaps on my shelf. Mind you, the hate aspect manifests itself when I found I'd missed another half dozen items simply because i wasn't available for varying reasons.

Nonetheless, I'm glad it's over but I must say this Community is Great. I've attended many SF conventions other the past 3 decades and this sale always feels like an event of that nature. For an entire weekend and beyond the Community gets together, shares their thoughts and experiences of the event. Sadly, it all has to come to an end.

...and this is where there is no hate on my part; only love. When all is done and over and everyone departs the venue, shaking hands and wishing everyone the best. Beyond lies more sales for sure and another opportunity to get together and celebrate what GOG has done for us and nothing brings this Community to one place like the Insomnia Sales.

Thanks Guys, you've been a great part of the overall experience for the past week. I'll be back to suffer more next time and hope to see you all do the same. lol.

Damn, first foxworks, now you. Do I have some hidden talent with cheese-based taglines? Now I want one. Your suggestions here, people! :)

For now I'm going to co-opt one of my forum namesake's lines and say "Run, Cheddar!"

No Damn Gouda?

I always liked "Itsa gooda and I donta meana the cheese"

Before I talk about cheese, I just want to comment on the change of my avatar. I finally remember my password for Gravatar and this is the avatar I usually use. It is a picture of the Joker and man is he creepy in this picture.

Now for the cheese thing. ;) My daughters favorite saying is Cheese Nuggets.
Just my contribution to the discussion. :P

I am going to say here is the full size picture of my avatar.

Very creepy Joker there.
As for the Joker, Heath Ledger's portrayal of him was awesome!

Ahh, the power of Cheese. Or you can just use Head Cheese

Wife gave me a 20 dollar limit and blew half of it on democracy 3 expansions, but to be fair I already owned several of these games already.

I got
- Edna & Harvey: Harveys New Eyes
- American McGees Grimm
- Deponia 3: Goodbye Deponia (still need to buy the other two titles)

The sale was unexpected to me, because I completely missed the Fall Insomnia Sale. All I need now is an Internet connection at home and I gonna play till my brain gives out.
