On second thought this will probably not be as entertaining as I'd hoped.

Mod challenge. He had to write a 1000 word essay, in the form of a dad today educating his son, how the word "picatinny" or whatever might not be racially and socially appropriate nowadays.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Is your account?

The shaving video probably best appreciated just skipping round for a minute or two.

I just put some choice moments up so cool plane dad can be seen with mates

The emergency protocol one is neat I felt aswell

As for piccaninnies, I grew up in PNG speaking Pisin ,I always understood it to be a general term for children. Used by locals and expats alike for both white and black children.:mrwhite:

I was considering driving to that for the competition last month but I sadly remembered it was really run down last time I saw it a few years ago. Also its where Daniel Morcombe got grabbed.

Those are not standard Atari 2600 controllers. They look a lot more like Atari 5200 controllers.

Edit yeah, you can see the game console at the lower right. That's a 5200 machine.

Interesting - I could have sworn the cartridges were 2600 ones. I think it was actually an off brand machine from Sears. I could be remembering wrong because I was 4 at the time.
