I enjoyed it once I released my expectations of Aliens and instead interpreted it as part Adams Family, part Tremors.

Keep going. It’s odd but it somehow works as you get into it.

“Old School Hollywood buffet” 😆

You must persevere! It only gets more gloriously absurd. In a sea of crap and slop, any show that can provoke that strong of a reaction deserves your attention for that exact reason. See you on the other side. 🫠

“The Oner” episode might be the turducken of television. It was designed to overwhelm and yet was incredibly delicious viewing. I’m still reeling.

A while back I played around with color 3D printing and had fun making my fav Sierra characters.

I was so excited to buy this at the Electronics Boutique at the mall but they didn’t have the Apple II version. So I bought the PC box just to open it and read through all the materials. The clerk was kind enough to let me exchange a few days later. I played through with my son a few years ago.

Did I NEED to buy this at the thrift store? No. No i did not. But did I? Yes. Yes, I did. It’s still my favorite stupid car of all time.

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

If you finish, don’t leave without getting your certificate of completion! Then head straight to the ER.

I just survived the afternoon in downtown Chicago with my family. It was INSANE! We ended up taking shelter at The Sugar Factory, then risked it all ducking into the LEGO Store. Then, and I really don’t know how, we safely made it (with all our purchases) back to the River Walk. Plz send troops!

Apple IIe. Summer and Winter Games, King’s Quest, Print Shop (with ear damaging printer sound) are just a few seared into my memory.
