COPS: TAZED AND CONFUSED

You know I can't resist a good zapping!  Especially when somebody belligerent and out of line is involved.

NES GAMING: Q*BERT

Unfortunately a PC controller can't be used with the NES emulator I use, so for EACH jump made, you have to press down TWO arrow keys.  Once you get good at it, you give your fingers quite a workout.  One thing I don't like about the NES version if Q*Bert doesn't hop from cube to cube as smoothly as he did on the arcade or even the Atari 2600 versions. 

All of the early home platform (Atari, Colecovision, etc) versions of Q*Bert only included either Ugg or Wrong-Way hopping on the cubes' sides or didn't bother with them at all (Atari 2600).  NES includes both of them, adding to the challenge of what made the arcade game fun in the first place.  So basically Coily and the red ball were the only "bad guys" in most of the original home gaming versions.

My favorite thing about the NES version is Coily's fangs.  Look at his cute teef!

NEW SSMYOB HOUR-LONG DISCO MIXSHOW FIRST 1/4 PREVIEW: LISA, DIANA ROSS + SYLVESTER

I already have the song selections picked out by their BPM's, began and finished the first quarter of an hour-long disco mixshow, which will be posted on my MixCloud page once the entire thing is complete.

SSMYOB DISCO MIX-SHOW 
INTRO [OCTOBER 23, 2014]

approx. 17 minutes

featuring:  Lisa ("Rocket To Your Heart" - 12" extended version), Diana Ross ("What You Gave Me" - 12" extended mix) + Sylvester ("Dance (Disco Heat)")

IT'S BEEN *THIS* LONG SINCE ANY MAINSTREAM EURODANCE HIT SINGLES?

And this was released in 2000/01.  DJ Sammy/Do/Yanou and Alice Deejay were the last Eurodance artists I recall having charting hits.  Like disco, I guess it went into temporary hibernation LOL

MAIL!

Other than Keurig coffee cups, my most-ordered grocery items online are the obscure preserves I like to bake with as well as trying different mustards from the Mustard Museum (link in "Places I Like!" list).  

You can't find anything huckleberry outside of states like Montana and have bought this particular brand of wild huckleberry preserves more than once in the past.  The Provencal mustard is my favorite kind and the only place around here I've found it at a couple times was a Marshall's store - even though I've tried making my own before, I also prefer the real thing from France.  

Now I need to buy some roll-out pie crusts!
