So i finally caved. I am no longer a techno have-not. I will soon have cable internet. I hate the cable company. More than you do. I hate it down in the darkest depths of my soul. I don't want to give it any more money, but, like the Devil, sometimes Mediacom makes you an offer too good to refuse.
So in 5-7 days i will get my modem and self-install kit. Then my soul will belong to Mediacom. Hopefully it will be worth it.
See you then
Bob
Once again, GenCon is upon is. Starting tomorrow thousands upon thousands of nerds, geeks, and dorks will begin descending upon Indianapolis for four days of gaming. For those of you who don't know what GenCon is, think of every game you would never expect to see on ESPN, not even ESPN8, the Ocho. Those are the games that will be at GenCon. Bex and I will be there for all four days. Hopefully we can still get reservations for P. F. Chang's after 9:30, when the best chef gets there.
We will primarily hang out in the dealer room. Board games, card games, role-playing games and even boot-leg videos of every description will be in the dealer room. It takes about two days to go through everything and figure out just who will be getting my hard earned cash in exchange for their wares. I an not sure what i need this year. Suggestions are welcome.
The best part every year is looking down on the line of suckers who arrive on Saturday to get badges. Last time we were there, we looked down, laughed at them, and decided to watch a movie; Fast and the Furious, i think. When we were done watching the movie, the line had not discernibly moved, but those poor fools did get to enjoy the camaraderie that can only be know by gamers in 90 degree heat. I almost regret that i will never know such camaraderie, no wait, i don't regret it at all.
Anyway see you all at GenCon.
Who am i to ignore the demands of my number one fan and potential crazed stalker? So without further ado, i present something clever about Diet Pepsi Lime.
Diet Pepsi Lime harkens back to days of olde. Those of you old enough to have voted for the first President Bush may remember Crystal Pepsi. Crystal Pepsi had a distinct citrusy flavor which added something extra to the basic Pepsi taste. It was a great beverage, but alas the mindless hordes could not be persuaded to purchase a clear cola and it languished on the shelves.
With the introduction of Diet Pepsi Lime those enlightened few who enjoyed a bit of citrus with their cola once again have that option. To allay the fears of those who can not face the prospect of a non-umber cola Pepsi has left it a traditional red-brown. Diet Pepsi Lime has a subtle complexity that regular Pepsi lacks. Diet Pepsi Lime is in short, distilled Joy.
One last thought, one can confidently buy Diet Pepsi Lime and know they are doing the right thing for their Nation. In the last election cycle PepsiCo, Inc. contributed 68% of their political donations to Republicans. Although there is room for improvement, 68% is a fine ratio and one of which Americans can be proud.
Buy Diet Pepsi Lime.
Later
Bob
