They hate USPS and want to see it fail so they can privatize it for profit.

TV series have spoiled me with an actual storyline. Movies just seem to cram as much as they can into such little time that most of them just seem lacking to me now.

I think the first move would be ripping out the opponent's catheter and seeing who bleeds out first.

Anything is legal if you don't get in trouble for it. (This opinion is based on recent observations)

It's still about half the total sugar by weight than Heinz has (1g per 8g ketchup vs 1g per 5g ketchup from heinz).

That said, I like unsweetened ketchup a lot better but it's hard to find at a decent price. No sugars or sugar substitutes and no sweeteners like aspartame.

Is someone breaking into my house or did the central air just kick on?

Hammer it flat and use it as a spreader for peanut butter and other spreadable items. Honestly, I find it superior to using a knife due to the wider surface area.

It doesn't taste like banana. I think they just use banana puree to sweeten it a bit.

Edit: it's not bananas.

I've had ketchups that are unsweetened or sweetened with fruits like ~~bananas~~ apples and squash, and both are far better than the "tomato candy" that is commercial ketchup.

Liu Bei was really like "these are the toughest guys in town, I better make them my most badass generals." And now we have Dynasty Warriors.

Something tells me that won't stop someone from getting in trouble for misusing his name. Straight to deportation with you!

 

As a kid, I got my Dad to take me to Funcoland to trade in my Sega Genesis to buy Super Smash Bros for the N64. I kinda regret getting rid of it, but I played the heck out of Smash, and my Dad probably would have pawned it when I got older anyway, but I still missed my old Genesis. So I started looking to replace it.

I found a decently priced Genesis on eBay that came with a bundle of sports games I might never play, as well as a CIB copy of Sonic 2 at my local game shop. I ordered Road Rash 2 on eBay when I saw it was less than the market price. There's still a few more games to collect to rebuild my childhood library (even though some were just memorable rentals). I still need:

  • Sonic collection
  • True Lies
  • Road Rash 1 and 3
  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
  • Rocket Knight
  • Rock 'N Roll Racing

What other not-too-expensive games should I get?

Bonus pictures of a couple games on my old CRT for the best OG experience:

 

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.
