Damn, lol! I think you're the only exception here!

Of course, there's more than a few old accounts still statwhoring, and not saying boo to anyone (at least publicly)... I might've sent a PM to a few of them, a few years back - no reply; possibly non-English speakers, or bots (robo save-whores, that explains everything!)

I hope not, I had Spam and Brussel sprouts today, don't wanna know what that smells like.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sprite up there, that did though :)

Oh man, I just laid 2 farts in 2 different tones.... so proud! The smell is frightening, but not strong.

VicariousE 2014-03-25 07:31:20

Yeah, I noticed recently. I took a leaf blower to some of the brickwork in the house a month or so ago. Now it's starting to smell like my old man did, a few years before he and my Ma died.

You know I was going to say I might bake cookies... but I haven't had the itch to do so since my parents passed away, my Ma had the baking touch. The trick is to use granulated brown sugar and a touch of baking powder, and slightly less than 2 eggs (or 2 of the smallest eggs you have), then they rise quite nicely!

Sry, I killed off the Nestle's dark chocolate chips, rather expensive to eat out of the bag.

VicariousE 2014-03-25 15:12:22

Damn lol, again? I was gonna put up the old "NG out of order" sign, the one that popped up recently with the DNS server folk.

Something? Well this time last week, my sis said the farm was likely to be sold soon, and I'd have 90 days to clean up 2 properties, get all the stuff I wanna keep, out, somewhere.... and find a new place to live. That's enough to curdle anyone's milk :| I guess I do want the farm and the small house next door sold... but I'd rather the State and town take a flying fuck, and reduce our taxes.

I've been here most of my life, aside from a stint in California that barely lasted a year. It's spacious, but we're 60% surrounded by McMansions, so I can't blast crop damaging deer, crows, geese, groundhogs...

VicariousE 2014-03-25 18:26:43

Somehow, I knew I should've put up another picture. Maybe one day, I'll figure out one of those animation programs, put that lil guy to work, busting up Madness characters >:)

VicariousE 2014-03-25 23:22:54

Cross-promotionalism? In the 20th century, that was a rare thing, aside from multinational movies, which take advantage of small groups, with specific assets (and tax breaks, grants). Lol, Spyro I guess was the guy who made up the sprite sheet... I think good ol' Cyberdevil turned me onto this site... great :| can't find it now, but it's like one of the last, big, sprite databases. Man, in the late 90's, you couldn't get away from those sites... ganked unusual pictures galore!

VicariousE 2014-03-26 01:18:39

At one time there was chickens, pigs, steer and sheep... but the 2 sheep were just pets to the younger family, used to buck them when they weren't looking... would creep up from behind, and WHAM! They were called Jackie, lol, should've been named Hobbes!

No, a veggie farmer, tomatoes, peppers and pumpkins and such. Not a critter farmer, or a sod farmer, or a seed farmer.... Worm farming sounds interesting: composting old food with dirt and worms = profit! Worm castings (poo) is the world's best fertilizer... ever see little pebble-like little hills on healthy dirt, after the rain? Castings! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm_castings

My Mom had 2 toy poodles named Chip...

VicariousE 2014-03-26 05:20:36

Well, blasting cute critters isn't a part of the normal routine, but damn, it is necessary. Once we had a permit to shoot up to a 100 dear, we didn't get close, but man, other farms around me (very few) did bag their limit. There isn't much countryside left in NJ, taxes and population are moving south from NYC quite rapidly.

Yeah, it's gonna suck some major balls being the last one off the ancestral home :(

VicariousE 2014-03-26 05:46:51

I gotta watch... this IS a site for publishers of games and other content... I'm just an old fan-boy

VicariousE 2014-03-26 05:49:45

Nope, no land whales... our main critter area's fence was cleaned up of weeds lately, but as such, has been weakened to the point, any hoofed animal would be under minimum security.

If you own a pet here in NJ, it gets out and into the road and causes an accident, the PET/ANIMAL OWNER, is responsible! ...and babies come from females, after they've gotten 'their needs' taken care of :|

VicariousE 2014-03-26 05:54:26

Lol, I used to play with them! Once I moved up to the farm around 6 years old... a lot of work (and learning) followed.

VicariousE 2014-03-26 09:51:31

I know that feel man.

I'm certain there's reviews of the game out there.... of whichever game I have the sprite sheet of? Just hoping you didn't waste too many minutes of your life, waiting for the punch to charge.... there weren't many Asterix games that were well reviewed. There was like 1 or 2 games for the Genesis in the US, but damn if I could find them.... I was just more or less happy for any kind of exposure of Asterix in the States!

VicariousE 2014-03-26 18:11:22

Huh, thought there was at least one, but it's been a wile since I checked... maybe under Obelix...

VicariousE 2014-03-26 18:15:56

Well, it's a bit hilly in spots, crops would just wash away and plowing is a nightmare

Every kid needs a guardian here, to be responsible for the actions of another... so they extended that to kept critters as well... gives me more incentive not to get the cats legit with licenses.

VicariousE 2014-03-26 22:06:20

Getting less hilly, but there's a decent one just outside the house, can use the lawnmower there okay, lots of sledding, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, quads and trikes that went over it, also tractors, trucks.... all downhill, no jumps to speak up, just a divot that can hurl up up in a jiffy, if you're not careful.

Eh, about half of them are really good cats though, they listen... but damn you have to be crafty about it. I think they carry a virus that makes humans do their bidding, cat scratch fever.... duh, nuh, nah..

VicariousE 2014-03-27 15:47:10

Ha, thanks! But I think Krinkels makes a better godfather, and he's armed, well armed!

VicariousE 2014-03-27 19:20:16

Can't take the credit, can't even find the website I got this from!

VicariousE 2014-03-28 06:13:03

Well, if it's a rolling harvest, then yeah, but usually we get a couple bushels of stuff ready all at once, and it's a pain trying to cash in, while the weeds are strangling the stuff that's not ready yet... Middlemen make up over half the population, and they usually don't play nice, or work very hard.
