The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.

But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was "Nooo!"

 

Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector's touch...

 

"I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much."

 

(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector-ector much)

 

It wasn't Enzo's fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,

And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn't win,
I thought for sure they'd both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!

 

(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win)
(She thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)

 

I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev'ry bad experience,

The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob's successor man.

 

(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man)

 

I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,

And when at last the pair of us
were fin'lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.

 

We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.

When Bob went face to face
to face to face with Hexadecimal...

 

...his chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal.

 

(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesi-esi-mal)

 

Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he'd wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.

I'd dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!

 

(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)

 

What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.

It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we're back together,
Ev'rything's alphanumeric!

 

(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we're back together, ev'rything's alphanumeric)

 

And now we're back together,
EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!

That's the late Tony Jay. He's my all-time favorite voice.

The 1989 logo - as a kid I could not see the bat in the negative space. The movie, the toys, all of it; I just accepted that an open maw in need of braces for its yellow teeth was the chosen logo for an otherwise typical and cool superhero.

A more interesting pic: Image

*Editing to say I didn't notice the sub, and I don't mean to suggest the OP pic was subpar. I just got excited and wanted to share the other images too.

Hamas was an elected government, in 2006. Elections haven't been held since. I hope your mention of "elected government" was to say "an elected government shouldn't behave like this" instead of how it struck me, which was "the electors of that government are more or less responsible for the government's behavior today".

That's kind of overwhelming to me. It's like there's no bottom to that rabbit hole. I love it and I have so many questions.

Today at work my team rolled our eyes at the latest uttering of "This is a living, breathing document." I then joked that maybe we could give the spreadsheet some warts and some hair. That got me thinking - are there skins/mods for Excel that are cartoony and ridiculous? A cursory web search only turns up things that look "professional".

Have y'all seen that nasty skin banana? Doesn't this world have that, but in Excel? I'd like to see each cell have not-so-straight lines, some cells with little bumps/warts here and there, and little gross hairs in the corners. Bonus points if they pulsate. A pivot table could maybe have an appearance like it's protruding out of the sheet, like a cartoon character who swallowed a safe and you can see the big square on their belly. Filtered rows could look like old skin wrinkles. "Excel illustrated by the one(s) responsible for Ren and Stimpy," I guess.

And that's just one gross hypothetical version. How about themes like Lisa Frank, or the menu from a Final Fantasy game. Think about the worlds in Super Mario Bros 3. Couldn't we have spreadsheets that are themed like a desert, an ice world, or a jungle.

I'm running out of ideas but hopefully you get the picture.

DO THESE EXIST?

I hit the 50 cap, then deleted about 30 unnecessary notes, and STILL couldn't create more notes.

I replaced it with Draft Notes.

I entertained it being real until it called Diet Coke sticky, which it is not.

"Creepy head tilt to the side" in horror. It's not scary anymore.

Justin Sane, frontman of punk rock's Anti-Flag, was recently accused of "predatory behavior, sexual assault, and statutory rape."

Allegedly he'd eyefuck girls from the stage during shows in a very "That's right, I'm a rockstar, lookin' at you" kind of way, and somehow get them invited backstage later.

His bandmates disbanded after the news broke. Bandmates say they weren't aware, that they stand with the victims, and they condemn his actions.

I saw Anti-Flag at a small venue years back and it makes me wonder if it happened to fellow concertgoers that night.

I like the idea of this. At present time it doesn't look like any Fitbit-branded devices are supported, unless I'm missing something.
