Gauntlet awesomeness!

Gauntlet was an incredible game. My dad and I used to play it a lot when I was dropped off at the airport. There was always something wonderful about the game that you had to actually cooperate to get stuff done. The home version I must say was terrible in comparison. We played for hours knowing that level 100 would have a giant dragon and all we got were lies and I got a migraine.

Lost Homework Leads to NY Boy's Burglary Arrest Share Email Comment
LIBERTY, N.Y. December 14, 2011
(AP) A 12-year-old upstate New York boy may be wishing that his dog ate his homework. Police in the village of Liberty tell the Times Herald-Record of Middletown that officers used math homework to track down a boy suspected of breaking into an auction house Saturday night.
The owner said he arrived Sunday morning and discovered that a window had been removed and jewelry, cellphones, video games and other items had been stolen from his business. Police say homework with the suspect's name on it was found in the woods behind the auction house.
 The youth has been charged with burglary. His case is being handled in Sullivan County Family Court. ———

He created a way of life for me

In the past year I have had a couple of idols of mine pass. One of them I mentioned was Columbo who showed me how to ask questions annoyingly and persistently. The person who taught me how to answer dumb questions both quickly and in a rather snappy way was the writer and cartoonist Al Jaffe. Getting me to read as a kid was painful until I found the offshoot MAD series known as Snappy answer to Stupid Questions. I suddenly found a way of thinking and speaking that suited me. It also casued me to get beaten up but it was totally worth it. I read everyone of them and I still have them to this day. I actually had no idea Al Jaffe, 91, was still alive until I came across this fantastic video on Boing Boing. Even if you don't have time for the whole video watch the part in the beginning where he discusses how he came up with the book idea.
