This evening Eric and I took a niece and a nephew to an arcade. Now I am not exactly an arcade aficionado, but we were celebrating a special event and so I put on my happy face and went along. And guess what? I am married to a veritable Arcade Renaissance Man!!! Eric can shoot a light gun, toss a football, roll a ski-ball and beat everyone hands down in trivia games. When it comes to Deal or No Deal, he is a master strategist. His hands over-flowed with prize tickets. Our niece and nephew were tremendously impressed. I was beaming with pride and delight, right up to the point when Mr. Sciatica climbed into a bumper car, effectively ending our sex life for the rest of the decade. |

Tell Eric that hanging up-side-down does wonders for my tween the sheets performance. :} |

Are you suggesting my results aren't statistically significant? Does my study need more participants? @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

If you add more participants, I know of ONE subject you will certainly lose through attrition!!! |

"Performance" is it an art, or a science. The answer, is of course "Yes"! celttooth |

It's a "guy" thing............which also means it's a "kid" thing. May your reign over the arcade continue EK. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists. Chris Hedges A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr. |

I would love to see Eric in action sometime. Perhaps I can even challenge him to a game of ski-ball... I'm not necessarily good at it, but I like playing it. ;) Of course, the real geek's battleground is in an MMORPG. Anyone can shoot a gun in an FPS. (Though I'm not very good in PvP in RPGs either, but it would still be fun!) |

Eric and Angela, my herniated disc 20 years ago didn't stop things, it just forced a new level of creativity... |
