That's what she said!

What a stupid post title!

Seriously, what the hell is that all about.

Anyway, it's been a little while since I posted, although there's a good reason why my posts have been slow. For some reason, Google thought that it was possible my blog was spam, and it took them forever to review it and decide it wasn't...

Blogger Help

to me

Hello, Your blog has been reviewed, verified, and cleared for regular use so that it will no longer appear as potential spam. If you sign out of Blogger and sign back in again, you should be able to post as normal. Thanks for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Sincerely, The Blogger Team

So, with that, I'm not a SpamBot! You'd think that if the blog was flagged as potential spam, a few posts where I fill in the annoying CAPTCHA would have cleared me, but no, it's been about a month and a half of that.

It's not that it was that big of a deal, but it's still pretty damn annoying.


Transformers

No, I haven't seen it... yet. I'm hoping to go this weekend and check it out, but it's not sounding like reviews are that bad, which is good, because I'm really hoping it doesn't suck.


Stratego

So, I haven't played Stratego since I was much younger, and even then, I think I played it wrong and only a few times (I'm pretty sure we played it like checkers). Anyway, my lady friend got me a copy of the 'classic' bookshelf edition and we played. Sadly, I lost, but it was a lot of fun. It's funny to me how a game from so long ago could still hold such entertainment, but it's proof positive that the classics never really go out of style.

The problem is that this sets a precedent that I must own the entire collection. It's a lofty goal, but I think it's definitely one worth attempting. I am taking donations, if you're interested.

Unusual Keyboards

The title of this article really says it all, but, I have to admit that some of the keyboards they show are really interesting. I'd love a chance to try a few of them out.


Roswell, The Truth is Still out there.

I won't say I'm not a nut when it comes to conspiracy theories and paranormal phenomenon, it's all just so damn interesting (read that as 'entertaining'). So when I read stories about Roswell, NM, it always gets me thinking.

It seems the newest evidence is about Lt. Walter Haut, whose original story was fairly thin and down played. However, after he passed away last year, he left a signed affidavit, which has a somewhat different story.

It seems that he has posthumously claimed that there was, in fact a saucer crash, they did recover wreckage, and that there were bodies of small humanoids that were most likely aliens.

It's an interesting read. Of course, it leaves us with no more or less evidence than we'd had before, but, it's still something worth noting.

What do I think? I think that there must have been something that happened, and it's just as likely that there was a flying saucer that crashed landed as there was some grandiose weather balloon project.


A Good Wife Knows Her Place

Damn straight! Ah, the 50's were a glorious time, weren't they?


That's it for now.

Thus ends the another journey through nostalgic board games and sexism, strange keyboards and conspiracy theories. Join me again next time, same bat channel, same bat time!
