www.groucho.org BBS

It was set so that only registered users could post new threads, but anyone (ie "guests") could reply.

Now, guests... well, they can read. And that's pretty much all they can do.

Guess I better set this forum to registered-post only...

Boy, that's some beautiful spam work. Lovely! Just lovely! It brings a tear to my old, jaundiced eye!

Due to some recent events, the BBS here at groucho.org now requires you to be a registered user in order to read the bases. All the messages are still here, you just need to have a valid account and be logged in order to see them. If you don't have an account, signing up is easy. You will have to us...

There's a Battlebots competition going on in town now, I've added some pictures from today, when the Battlebots IQ (high school teams) competition was. The main event starts tomorrow.

I've added some more pictures to the gallery. Some from the vintage races at Watkins Glen last year, a bunch from our trip to Florida in 2003, and a couple others here and there.

I have more theater and MAME pictures but nothing online yet. Soon!

OK, so I finally got around to getting the front page slightly more presentable. I'll try to keep it more current from here on out. Other updates include some more pictures of my recent California trip to see my buddy "The REAL Man" finally marry his sweety, who is on here as "The Grr...

Warren Zevon has, indeed, pulled a Charles Schultz and died right after finishing his work. Unfortunately, dammit, I don't have him on my list - what was I thinking??? Anyways, he was 56, so a massive 44 points go to Chris, Gnomeloaf, and Ice Cream Jonsey. The current scores are: Chris - 69 (19 + 44...

Charles Bronson kicked the bucket at the ripe old age of 81... giving Chris 19 points, with the adjustments, a round 20. The current scores: Jethro Q. Walrustitty - 23 (22 x5%) Chris - 20 (19 x5%) ChainGangGuy - 19 (13+4=17, x10%) Nessman - 5 (4 x15%) Ice Cream Jonsey - 4 (4 x10%) Gnomeloaf - 4 (4 x...

Somehow, I completely forgot to post the last death - Buddy Hackett, dead at 78. That puts the scores at: Jethro Q. Walrustitty - 23 (22 x5%) ChainGangGuy - 19 (13+4=17, x10%) Gnomeloaf - 4 (4 x5%) Ice Cream Jonsey - 4 (4 x5%) Nessman - 4 (4 x10%) Big J/BigS - 0 Chris - 0 Da King - 0 Guess Who? - 0 ...

Everyone (OK, not everyone, but most people) enjoy online games... so I've added a couple.

Hangman

Legend of the Green Dragon

Enjoy, kiddies!

Strom Thurmond has died - of course, at 100 years of age, you only get the +5% multiplier, no points. That gives Mike Sherwin and Nessman exactly... umm... zero points. Katherine Hepburn has also died, at a wrinkly, shaky 96. That means four points for ChainGangGuy, Gnomeloaf, Ice Cream Jonsey, and ...

It took almost half a year, but ChainGangGuy has taken the lead thanks to the death of Gregory Peck, who does on June 12 at the age of 87, giving CGG a score of 14 (13 + 5% - 13.65, actually)... everyone else still at 0.

I just finished putting captions on all the Romania pictures, so you can see the story behind each shot. Enjoy!

Those who know me know that I just got married on August 3rd, and my wife and I went to Romania for our honeymoon... I've put up the best pictures, 185 of 'em, taken on the trip. They're been cropped and color corrected and look pretty good, I think. There are no captions yet, but I hope to have the...
