This reminds me of my own strategy: I start each Wordle with "YESTERDAY'S" answer! 🧐

@WIRED Instead of _killing_ mosquitos (Nature has a way of working around threats to a species's survival) my pipe dream is to genetically engineer mosquitos to PRODUCE VITAMIN C or something; actually make them *BENEFICIAL!* 🤩

@DrewFromTV Yay for "One Step Beyond" which lays the foundation for my very first 80's Gigamix: https://t.co/6JdO9NkSCs 🤩

Changed. My. Life. 🤩

@DrewFromTV That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor... Hard!

Elvis's version of "Bossa Nova Baby" is one of my all time faves; I had no idea it was a cover — and by The Clovers, no less! Mind. Blown. 🤯

@googlechrome This was several years ago; I'm sure it's only gone up...

@chrisek @viksit @digg @kevinrose "Old School" would be The Screen Savers with @leolaporte 😎 We didn't have Tivo/DVRs back then, but I used to capture cable through a DV Camcorder, then "rip" it over Firewire... If I searched hard enough, I could probably dig up a clip!

@slashdot Pro-Tip: Searching for "blues run traveler around" was more likely to show you the actual song, vs. `blues-run-traveler-around-HQ-256k-oFF1cI4L.mp3`, or whatever 😎

@Google "Months" ?! This was from 2019 — and I've still got them all! 🤓

@MattNavarra - Using `Ctrl+]` to suspend your telnet connection to one MUD and switch to another

- `finger`-ing somebody to read their `.plan`

- `talk`

- Reading email in emacs (and writing elisp macros to manage it all)

- `sybperl` and `oraperl`

(Get off my lawn!!)

@DrewFromTV So you can play Loose Booty, but not Shadrach?

And Superfly and Pusherman are OK, but not Egg Man??

Ahh well, there's always the Asylum Street Spankers: https://t.co/JbJAZRD0Ba 😎

@bsletten Why bother with Sriracha when you can have Mumbo Sauce?!? :-9

@digg How much longer do you plan on living? And what kind of interest do you expect to earn?

I whipped up a quick "back of the envelope" shell script using only simple interest, compounded annually, not accounting for inflation (or spending!) etc.

@bsletten That Francis Albert guy totally ripped off Sid Vicious... 😎

PS: TIL the lyrics were actually written by Paul Anka(!)

[Dabe Murphy @OneTrueDabe]

@DrewFromTV @littlesteven_ug BTW — The answer is an emphatic, "YES!!" 🤩

(I was just worried it wouldn't be available on-demand afterward, and that I'd have to stay up past my bedtime — which I did *ANYWAY* of course... Worth it!! «grin»)

[Dabe Murphy @OneTrueDabe]

@DrewFromTV I'm *SUPER* excited to hear you're doing another Bicycle Day episode on 4/19!! 💯 Any idea if it'll be available on the Favorite Episodes / Podcasts section of the @littlesteven_ug website? 😎

[Dabe Murphy @OneTrueDabe]

@littlesteven_ug @DrewFromTV Nice "Zilch"... 🍄

@larryredwing A buddy of mine got pulled over late ("late") one night...

When the officer said, "Do you know how fast you were going?" and my friend answered, "Uhm, 55?" the officer replied:

"Son, I clocked you doing *EIGHT!*" 🤣🤣🤣
