We didn't even have a Com64. We had an Adam computer, obsoloete before it came out.
Haha. I remember thinking my sister's friend was a lucky duck cuz she had the Adam. How shocking that a leather company couldn't keep a home computer product going

again I say
Someone else who actually remembers the Adam computer??? That's a first haha
and apparently you were looking at the same website as me.
you can even buy it and all the peripherals still here.
That was the problem with it. It was a good computer but you couldn't find fuck all for it. Needed the internet back then to find the 5 people that had any parts for it for sale. I just ended up using it as an oversized ColecoVision. I loved that Smurfs game.

Oh, yeah. I'm the coolest nerd you'll ever find.
I never got to play it much. Only like once or twice. I don't even remember what the hell we played. I just remember constantly being yelled at to be careful around the thing.

Boba....You are one serious motha' humpin' nerd. My hat is off to you.
I work as a minor techie in a large lab for a fairly well known university. When the research development grants come in everything is really cool. But every so often, some half wit of a politician decides that they have found a new way to save the world . This usually involves dumping lots of money into the military and not so much into research and education. Money gets tight and some labs have to close down due to lack of funding. About this time, other labs go into belt-tightenning and dumpster diving mode. I went with a bunch of my fellow techies to one of these labs that was closing down. (not the same one that I got the grain mill from.) Actually we were invited. When we got there, the thing we most wanted were some of the great tools they had. They weren't quite ready to part with them. (They probably ende up in somebodies private workshop. ) The one thing we did notice is that they still were using a Com64 with audio tape drive for storage!!! This happenned only about a year and a half ago. I didn't so much want the computer, but I regreted not having a camera to take a picture of it.

Some things are just too strange.
I totally am jealous of your job!!! I remember those tape drives. They were HORRIBLE!!! But back then, it was pretty cool, I guess. Can you imagine trying to do an end of day backup on a cassette drive like that??? you'd have to start it at lunch time the day before. what I can't imagine is using a C64 keyboard in this day and age. those things are horrible. there is so much travel on the keys, which are very stiff, that typing is like trying to push a truck. And some of the layout is different from a current standard layout which would make it confusing.
However, the C64 was a great machine for me when I was a kid. I had some of the best games on that thing. It was like Atari on steroids. I even got to dabble in a bit of basic programming and go to have my name scroll on the screen in an endless loop.
Okay. I should post this. Things are getting a little crazy at work all of a sudden. I've got more nerd stories for you, but I'll stop there for now.

how much grain mill do you have???
Well I'm still goin on my Adam computer rant. It had a tape drive, and yeah it took forever. There was a disc drive available and other games availabale but of course no stores ANYWHERE stocked any of it. The only game we had on tape was Buck Rogers, which was a decent game, (I also had the Colecovision version of it too, but it wasn't as good). I remember my friends used to have Comm 64s and had tons of games cuz they just copied each others, much to my envy. But they took FOREVER to load, sometimes up to 10mins.
Yeah I did some basic programming on my Adam too. I did the name scrolling thing. I even made some graphical drawing programs that you could use the joystick with. If only I kept up my computer nerdery of my youth, I might have made a fruitful career out of it. But instead I discovered beer. Now, I can barely figure Windows out
Bobaloo, You must be smoking too much of that wacky shit.
The grain mill is the one that I spoke about in the conspiracy theory "moon rocks" rant
I originally grabbed it thinking I would use it to grind my coffee beans with...
Natalie is right. Too much of this nerd shit.
Show us your boobs, Natalie.
Thanks for setting me straight!! (no gay jokes please) I knew what you were talking about and where you first referenced it, but for some reason I thought you had some moon rock remnants, like moon rock dust that was collected from out of the grain mill. I meant to write the word "dust" after the word grain mill, but, alas, I type too fast for my brain sometimes. I'm a goofball.
And you and Natalie are right. enough of this nerd talk. Let's see some boobs, Nat!!!
So that's it folks. I have entered the abyss of the DD cup. That's right. it took what seemed like forever to get here and now it will take another forever and possibly longer to get outta here. I'm still slowly trekking towards No. 1 poster, but 997,570 or so posts sure is a daunting task.
I have nothing clever to add for this milestone post. when Gnappy hit 2500, he gave a recap of about 25 of his best posts. Well, I don't have that kind of time, I'm lazy, I don't think anyone actually really reads my 411... and... I don't think I could come up with 25 good posts from me. Maybe one or two, but 25 sure would be a difficult task.
I guess that's it. Maybe if y'all can drop a line and tell me how much you enjoy reading my posts or how much you can't stand me. Either way, I'd love to hear from ya!
Here's to 2500 posts worth of good laughs and great boobs!!

Well I dunno about best, but random works nicely too haha.
Let's do it now (I really should be working at the moment).
Your first post:
1. I've been flying in under the radar for a while now, but I saw something on the ratings pages that made no sense and I just had to finally post.
Girls with amazing bodies grace us with their posts and some moron has the nerve to say to one girl that her boobs are too small... which they're not by the way. She has an amazing body. I kept checking out the pages and he has multiple posts with the same complaints.
I don't know about you, but I'm here to admire all boobs. I would never turn away a smokin' hot broad because I won't strain my thumb when I'm slatherin' oil all over her tight little body.
2. I usually get smacked with the bottle
3.That must be why you cook naked. to prove you have balls, and dammit, you're gonna scratch 'em if you want to.

4. So did you when you peed all over yourself??
5. haha, I never noticed the tail up there.
well no one ever said this place makes you smrter
Well done, brother!
Thanks for doing what I should have done. Now I'm inspired to look for some of my other gems. I don't want anyone thinking I'm lazy. I'll just click on that bobaloo link, then click on the all bobaloo's posts link, then I'll read through all my old posts, then I'll copy and paste all the good ones... eh, forget it. Maybe when I hit 5000. for now I'll just click on that add reply link.
