Alton rocks. If I'd be trapped in his show for a month they'd have to airlift me out of there. Especially if it's a month of dessert and snack shows.

This mission is a double-fail for me. Not only do I not I have any pictures of me next to a statue, I also realized that after living in this city for over ten years, I am unable to think of any statues in the city ... I should probably go out more.

No bronze statues of civic leaders? No public art in the park? A mannequin in a store?

That entry was very close to real-time-as-it-happened-on-tv. It has actually been a while since I sat down for a Simpsons episode. I like it whenever I come across it on tv, just never actually sit down to watch it. I don't really care much for weather forecasts ;)

This would be 8 minutes into the Simpsons episode "Lisa the Beauty Queen" on Comedy Central. Either that, or 3 minutes into the Belgian weather forecast, which you can see here: http://www.deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/weer I have several tv's and recorders and to keep things interesting, not all of them have the same channel listing/order.

I missed most of their music back in the days, but I did actually recognize a few songs when we got to see them play live. Styx was touring with Def Leppard at the time. I have a feeling you will see a Def Leppard concert picture today as well ;)

I've heard that they won't play "Mr. Roboto" live anymore because it was written by an ex band member (who filed a lawsuit against the band). It's too bad really. I think that song summed up the goofy early 80s pop culture vibe.

At 10:08 AM chaomancer participated in What's your biggest pet peeve with driver's or commuter passengers?:
This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Outside: people (pedestrians, bikers, drivers) who don't look where they are going and who just change lanes/direction. Yes, even if you walk, I may be coming up behind you, trying to pass, so pay attention.
Inside/commuting: people on a train or bus who insist on discussing personal problems, especially when said discussion is taking place by cell phone. Sometimes it takes a lot of willpower not to butt into the conversation :) - Aug 23

At 12:08 PM chaomancer participated in You most move to a remote island. You are being supplyed with all the food and water you need. You can only take 5 other items with you. What would they be?:
This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Some waterproof shelter (http://www.globalportablebuildings.com/Genesis.html will do just fine) to keep me and my stuff dry. A sealed booster box of Magic cards, a knife (preferably one of those big-ass survival knives, what we used to call a 'Rambo knife'), a d20, and a braille version of Stephen King's The Stand. No, I do not read braille, but I figure I will have plenty of time to try and teach myself. Plus, it will be something to read should I get old and go blind while staying there.
The bear is a substitute, in case either the shelter or the box of cards is not valid (since a box of cards technically isn't one item).

We had no yearbooks here. Thankfully. (no mr. potato head either, btw) I was probably one of the most camera-shy teenagers around anyway. I don't think I even have a picture of me as a teenager. If any exist, they are probably tucked away in some brown envelop, for future blackmail purposes.

At 11:08 AM chaomancer participated in Have a "no spend" day, where you spend as little money as possable, document clever ways of saving cash.:
This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
Bad timing on this mission, since I just had to go and take care of my grocery shopping for the week. So my way of saving cash was to buy store brand/the cheapest items whenever I had the option. This mission may haunt me for weeks to come. Of course technically I paid for this by bank/debit card, so I didn't spend any cash today. Yay! ;)
(On an average week day, I usually only spend 0-$1.50, so then the only way to save would be to cut down on stuff like gas/light/water. I think those around me would object to me not taking a shower.)

Good one. I think there are lots of people who wish their future self would have told them this at age 16. But it is/was such a normal part of being a teenager, certainly in those days. Not sure what it is like today.

So many different things, all for their own reasons. But in a sense, this is the favorite. PC's still amaze me. Even an old one like this has so much to offer. The pictures that matter, the entertainment I like, a way to stay in touch with loved ones and the entire outside world. (Excuse the dust, I don't use the floppy disc or cd/dvd drive anymore. Internet and NAS FTW!)
