Ricky Gervias and Eddie Izzard are easily two of my favorites. Gervias would find a way to make nuclear holocaust hysterically funny, and Eddie does tons of Star Wars and Dr. Who jokes.

I do give Hugh Laurie tons of credit though, as when he played Gregory House he sounded so American I often forgot that to him, he was speaking with a non-native accent.

Dear Subway (why do we say "dear?" What if we are angry and don't want to use a cordial greeting?)
Why should I enjoy the $3.99 six-inch sub of the day when I can complain that not that long ago I could enjoy a variety of foot-longs for $5? It also sucks not all of your stores have all day breakfast, and they should choke of a wedge of the stinkiest cheese out there for all the stores not having all the same cheeses.

It has to be cultural. UK Shameless is so similar enough I don't even have to pay attention to know what's going on, but it must just be I can't get into it because I've only known a few Brits, let alone alone ones who are delinquents, sex addictions, drug addicts, convicts, crazy, screwed up, messed up, absolute scum of the Earth like I have American ones. I've even known a few people from Chicago who were characters themselves.

I cannot still believe this woman could steal church documents only by sleeping around in the secret underhalls of the Vatican? Who would have guessed it was so easy...:p

Shouldn't it be a wee late for you to be bored? lol

Well I am. But it's more than that. I'm kind of just bored in general and not just at the moment - I can pretty much guess exactly what over half of threads will be about if I just look at the first half of the title and the name of the poster.

Pick your baitings wisely, lol.

I've been playing Star Fox 64 on my Pi 4, one of the harder games to run for 64. I also own the original copy on Nintendo 64, but anyway... It runs it at about 85% its full speed on the Pi. There ARE videos of people getting Nintendo 64 at full speed on their Pi 4, but my deep analysis reveals that they must literally be putting a whole week or two aside doing optimizations, basically only a little short of recoding a whole OS they are doing so much.

I have yet to see any halfway decent N64 emulation. I sorely wish Nintendo would release a "N64 mini," as my real N64 died many years ago and they cost a bit to replace (it was also many years before I learned how to repair electronics).
It also makes me wonder why IP laws haven't been changed to address the fact that people who designed things like Atari, NES, SNES, and N64 games haven't made money from those in awhile with third-party trades being the only way you can get those games anymore. It also extends to books, movies, music, all forms of art, really. The artist(s) dies, why should others continue to make tons of money off them and hold exclusive licensing rights?

In regards to a Nintendo 64 Mini, I have my theories Nintendo can't actually produce it right now at a reasonable price. I mean take my Pi 4 for example. If you factor in everything including the case which helps performance due to a lack of throttling, you're getting close to $100 before controllers. Nintendo writes good emulators, but for something like a Nintendo 64... it's still not enough.

Drove down a road, through a college campus yesterday. Half way through my car sounded different

Picked up a nice 3/4 long self tapping screw in my new tire
