    Sadly, my first thought after reading the headline was, "Oh, crap. What creeptastic new commercial did they come out with now?"

    Anyways, happy birthday, Playstation.

    Playstation turns 15 years old, now interested in girls. That's called adolescence, soon he'll be asking for the car keys and drinking beer on the weekends with strange figures, like Jaguar and N-Gage...

    @Weihovah: I have the original NES and GameBoy from back when you could buy new games for them... Atari predates me though.

    and yes... it doesn't seem that old, so it's kind of shocking it's 15... I was almost that age when it came out!

    What, she's only 15. But I've been playing with her since...oh crap. I swear I didn't know, and it's not like Playstation didn't know what she was doing, releasing all those games with all that eye candy. It's all her fault. And I know you've played with her too, so don't even look at me like that.
    But hey, only three more year and then I can get to the next level without feeling guilty.

    @Digo: I remember when she was only a few months old. That was first time I gripped her at my friend's house and started pushing. As my excitement grew, so did the speed, and soon I was tapping that girl so fast and hard I felt like I was going to break something. Then all of a sudden it was game over and we were both spent. Her controller slick with my passion sweat, I sighed, and her disc spun down in that cute way she has about her.

    Now when I look at her, I realize how gray she's become. Plus, I'm into her huge black cousin now; shes got the real curves.

    @Digo: I liked her big, when her skin was smooth to the touch and attracted both my heart and large quantities of dust. I miss her 90nm processor, as the new 45nm lithography reminds of a Lindsay Lohan "after" picture. (Except Lindsay doesn't run quieter.) I recall in the spring of our love, I put my quivering moist yellowdog linux disc into her, and she accepted it timidly but willingly. Now, she won't even look at other operating systems, shes busy being obsessed with glittering up her interface and copying that trashy white and green bitch down the block. Plus, I don't want anything that Nathan Drank has been in TWICE. ugh.

    @Digo: She won't even talk to all our old friends. She says shes moved on but I'm not so sure. I don't think shes got the emotional engine to deal with them anymore, but my buddies insist she doesn't need the hardware to feel.

    People should NOT wish the communist party a happy birthday. Mao and his cohorts are nothing but bandits who robbed and pillaged their way in. It’s a good lesson for all of us. Cuba went the same way. So did many other countries who had strong fascists that took over.

    Whenever the population becomes too stratified where the rich doesn’t give a crap about the poor, there comes some a@@ like Mao to rise up.

    And almost 30 years later, Fry's Electronics finally installed bar code scanners for the very first time.

    Weird. I'm from Troy.


    That Marsh is still there, and probably has the same people working in it.


    IIRC, there is a 60 year old cashier named Barbie.
