Ouch. That does not sound like any fun. Ford Exploder. LOL good name :)

I call her Christine, she seems like she has so many weird electrical problems. My brake lights don't work, keep blowing fuses, maybe the headlight switch will help because it is getting weird as well. When I pull it out all the way, my tailights don't come on, nor my dashlights but if I do find a "sweet spot" by pushing it in a little, I can get them to work. One time in a blazing snow storm, I had to pick Mom up from work and my 4WD didn't engage when I hit the switch so I had to drive in rear wheel drive only. At least I have a limited slip differential. After a while, it was OK and 4WD engaged. I'm beginning to think the British designed the electrical system, "The Prince of Darkness" had a hand in many an English car's electrical system where you have the choice of "off," "on" and "flicker." B-)

The important thing is that I really showed that ozark chick.

hahahha, I think they call that ROTFLMBO. But thank you for giving me a good laugh tonight!!

[pcottraux]

I aim to please.

I'm worried about the president's speech this way: that like the European press, the American MSM will take this opportunity to portray him as a "stark-raving lunatic, who has become desperate to gain support in his failing war." They excel in illusionist mind games.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Yeah, pretty good job. Excellent concept, but the art still needs work. Keep it up!

I'm gonna smack you again if you insult the ladies (again), you know.

[Fintan]

If that was to make fun of me, it sure as heck did not work.

 

Heck no!!!! I'm looking for a date!!! ;-)

It's all in fun!!!!

[Nowhere Man]

Very cool! Alexandra here can take control of entire warships (actually groups of them). Even if they are uncrewed and does that in parts of my story. She was initially created for cyber-warfare but she evolved way beyond that.

That sort of reminds me of a 1973 episode of the "Superfriends" where there was an AI computer that can control ships, planes and things like that so it would make shipping easier like it would control and steer oil tankers, merchant ships and the like as well as run it's own educational TV network. It was called "GEEC" and I cannot rmemember what it meant. I also remember it could fix itself too, when one of it's vacuum tubes went bad, it just replaced it.

[pcottraux]

Well, to be perfectly fair (perfectly), the art doesn't always translate onto the computer well via scanners.

What did I say that was insulting?

[Paul_Denton]

Okay then

[Paul_Denton]

I think his art is good. I love the comic style he draws in. It fits the characters he uses too.

[Rca2000]

I saw it about 20 years ago, or so---STILL remember it (I think)

Goodfellows Effort Eliminating Computer.

And it failed, when a MOUSE got in, and started wreaknig havoc inside!!

[nhoward14]

Greetings, people!

[pcottraux]

Can't please everyone.

[Paul_Denton]

I seen Superfriends before. Never that particular episode. This one in one scene takes control of an entire enemy strike group and fires it on another enemy strike group. Although my personal fravorite is when the squad cant escape an enemy carrier so instead they fly right into the landing bay, plug the AI into the computer, disable all security systems and depressurize the ship and then take control of it.

[Paul_Denton]

Good evenign :)

[nhoward14]

Dang! I didn't win the Mega Millions again! I guess this means back to work come Monday.

[Paul_Denton]

LOL I know how that feels.

Thanx!!! I remember that now! One thing I miss about Saturdays when I was a kid was watching the cartoons, it seems like you don't have that anymore. I remember watching all those shows and taking in like an hour of Bugs Bunny and so on. Looking at TV Land now, they got "Cheers" on,which they would switch slots with "Sanford and Son" or put on something like "Welcome Back Kotter." TV Land needs some new shows. Wish they put "Adam-12" back on.

"She has you bested on brains and I've you on brawn. Have some respect."

But, my friend....ah, never mind. I don't feel like typing that much again.

And yet brains wins again over brawn. I win on brains, Leapfrog wins on brawn but only because you have not the strength to type more (are your fingers totally wore out?, here maybe you should lay down for a few moments..;).

An easy victory on your part Leapfrog, save your strength for another day.

"have some respect". That was sweet.

[Nowhere Man]

Dang! I didn't win the Mega Millions again! I guess this means back to work come Monday.

I'm in a group at work playing it, got to check the numbers.
