Useless Thread MDCCLXVIII: Kpoop sucks

[Sega Dreamcast]

I had an apartment with vaulted ceilings.

Would recommend if given the choice, as it makes the place seem so much bigger.

I miss that place sometimes

Windows and direction count the most. A smaller place looks bigger with ambient light. Especially high up. Not many basements feature a view like this though @Roman Fell.

@Roman Fell, a Washin'ton fella, how's the nation's capital?

That apartment also had this big deck, with sliding doors in the living room and master bedroom.

Nearly no windows, making the place dark as hell. But I was working night shift, so I liked it

Had RGB bulbs in spotlights, and this RGB led string light running throughout the bookshelves on either side of the TV. It was neat

... Yeah, I am the type of guy who drives around your neighbourhood with a scope hoping to catch a glance at Uranus!

Cue @Mantis.

My previous apartment had a sunken living room.

I liked the extra 5 inches of ceiling height, but people would constantly trip on the step

My previous house had a sunken basement. But not on purpose. That's why it's my previous house.

Once as a 8 year old, we got enough flooding that my parents took a picture of me in the canoe on the front yard, heavy jacket and a paddle. It was like a small pond. The large yard actually had small waves running through it.

I'm considering buying a square copper pan.

Might just go for the $40 T-Fal, instead of the As Seen on TV stuff

In early grade school, we lived near the bottom of a hill on a paved street. During heavy summer rains, I'd put on my swim suit & "body surf" in the storm gutters along the street. I weigh too much now for that to work. But if this lockdown lasts much longer, I might try it just to cheer up the neighbors. Or to get to know our local police force better.

Can you make square pancakes in one of those? That'd be cool.

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

It's a big pan, so I guess you could make one giant pancake.

Might just be called a cake at that point

@JMCx4, there was a huge hill, a mile from where I lived as a young teen, and during the winter we would have snowmobile suits and helmets and ride our bikes as fast as we could down the ice and try to see who could get furthest down the hill and who crashed the hardest. CCM Mustang custom bikes, ape hangers, banana seats and sissy bars. All bent.

Your parents must've been thrilled. All I did was wear out the seat on my swim trunks skidding on the concrete street.

Dunno, I had pancakes at two different places on Kauai a few years back that were round & bigger than my head. With macadamia nuts in them. The art of the possible.

I bought this Krusteaz only-add-water pancake mix off Amazon that's pretty good

I could never get past a brand name that sounded like "crusties" for something to eat.

The first time I saw it, I read it as "crusty ass"

Been trying to watch Parasite, but damn it, I can't pay attention.

And it's subbed, so I can't exactly look away and listen to the dialog

@PanthersPens62 What are your memories of "Wide Left 2002"

Had to re-look at it......I'm pretty sure I thought the law of averages was going to finally catch up to my beloved U & then screaming in ecstasy when the kick drifted left. The Orange Bowl was such a magical place too.

@Roman Fell …..another busy day of posting eh? You will be sad to know our CEO said today that the cruise ship buffet is now most likely DOA thanks to COVID-19.

RIP my beloved buffets

I had a post deleted the other day.

Oh, the Mod was nice enough about it and even said 'sorry'.

I don't post much because I don't have much to say; so when I do post it is with a sense of, … I search the emotion … I don't know, a sense of completion, I guess. That will have to do.

I was going to post a bunch of really interesting posts somewhere on this board. Stuff like when I was in Germany and we had an American Trooper (Quarter Cav) with us and one night three of us (the American Trooper, my buddy Rick (RIP) from Recce Squadron, and myself (a tanker at the time) ended up in a Brit's MQ and he says you 2 guys (me and Rick) can have my wife, but I want the Black guy. Rick and I both said sure at almost the same time. Sammy (the American exchange Trooper) had a most negative reaction. Anyway, we left in short order. Raining hard and we were 100% lost. Saw a lighted porch so we ambled up and tried the door. It opened but was a very dark room. After stumbling around Rick said hey look at this and opened a coffin. Seems were in a Funeral Parlour or something similar. So we left. Next day ran into Sammy and asked if he wanted to go for a few beers later. He said Nope.

This happened in 1975, and Rick died about 3 months later at the age of 25. I never saw Sammy again after that night. I left out a lot of details. Mainly because I tend to bore people if given the chance.
