      Another 🕯️ of popular culture has left us a little earlier than we'd have hoped. He truly brought Squiggy to life. Loved Laverne & Shirley.

  2. Yeah why not? I'll add Ubuntu Budgie alongside Win 10 on this old repurposed Sony Vaio Laptop 😜. At least it looks really nice and should be at least a little smoother on this Core2Duo / 4gb machine. 😎

  3. 😎😛Was just heading to bed when I looked over on my shelf and noticed my Dreamcast with the weird custom lid and modem cover looks even weirder in the dim blue light emanating from the Christmas star decoration hanging in our living room.

  4. FINALLY after like a year, cut my hair....I didn't go anywhere, got nice Remington hair clippers, didn't even use an attachment, did it all myself with the bare clippers right down, all even, took like maybe 10 minutes? 🙂 OMG FEELS SOOOO MUCH BETTER! ALL THAT HAIR fit in a single little sandwich baggy, funny how hair compresses like that. Now that I have the clippers though I do not plan to EVER let it get that long again! My wife loves my hair like this.....she says Hi....

      Aliens stole your hair!!!  Lol.  Looks good, man.  And that picture of you and your wife is just priceless.  But seriously you've been playing too much Space Invaders man.  Those little aliens stole all you hair.  Just Messina with ya man.

  5. It is funny how often I forget to fire up MAME to compare the arcade version of home ports, soooo many great arcade classics at our disposal in MAME. It is always interesting to see how different the original arcade version is since those were typically designed to challenge you to keep trying while consuming your coins and so home versions though maybe not always comparable graphically sometimes made up for it with additional features. I will definitely check out the link you mentioned. All these arcade games at my disposal, literally thousands so no matter how many times I fire it up even after all these years there is always something new to check out or great classics to re-experience. Puzzle, side scrolling shooters, racing, fighting, obscure Japanese and even clone and knock off games, though I COULD do without all the Mahjong titles I don't need. 😎

      I love MAME and all that it offers.  Yet I've always had a few favorites that I just can't get to work correctly (especially controls).  Examples:  Asteroids, PunchOut!, Defender.

      yeah works great with my xbox 360 controller but I have not been good configuring stuff like race games that require a wheel or paddle games etc.

      Well it was delicious, went back for two more slices and poured some wine to wash it down! A great day indeed! 

  10. DID YOU KNOW? JOHNNY NASH who passed away the other day, while widely known for the hit "I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW" was also the singer of the THEME SONG for the animated 1963-66 animated show THE MIGHTY HERCULES. 😀

      Heh THANKS JUSTIN, well honestly I wanted to uploads SOMETHING and tried to come up with something that I could do quickly mostly because my last couple videos prior where like 6 months ago back in MARCH. Now I had the Grizzly Addams full beard with lots of gray 😆in it, starting to look like the hermit I mostly am but after shaving it down to a goatee I thought it looked much better at least even if I haven't had a haircut since before the whole Virus thing started, we avoid going out and with Melissa working from home YOU MIGHT THINK if anything that would give me more time to organize my thoughts, get my head together and plan and make videos.....WELL WHEN YOUR WIFE IS WORKING FROM HOME AND YOU ARE AROUND EACH OTHER 24/7 EVERY WAKING MOMENT believe me that is not the case 😏, barely a moment to myself these days let alone enough to put together and upload a video 😜I KID, MOSTLY..........no I'm not, HELP ME......😩

  16. One of the biggest lies any Youtuber will tell, is this opening line or intro announcement : 
    "I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO".........
    Seriously, knock it off
    🤨🙄😛
