Much better! I was hoping you'd comment on the beauty pageant chick with the biblical ink who is trying to "open doors" or something. Evidently she's soldier in somebody's army and good with guns.
Heh. Haven't seen those bunnies since 1980 or thereabouts. Those are "Hoops", a mutant rabbit species from the TSR roleplaying game 'Gamma World'. # posted by Blogger El Capitan : 9/12/13, 9:27 PM
I must needs some alcohol or sumthin' as I don't see anything but someone, I think, gender undecided, sitting on a couch with some jumbled thing about head high. What is a "TSR"?
I could maybe stare and stare and stare and make somthing out. Or not.

Clue, please. Or ClueBat as Michelle M. suggests... The GOOD Michelle, I think.
It's an old computer term for a background process, back from the days a computer could only do one thing at a time. Load your game, play it until your supervisor is nearby, hit the "boss" button and it hides away. Oh look at me working hard on those cost analysis docs! Boss is gone, press F6, or whatever the hotkey is that generates the interrupt, the computer swaps stack pointers and I'm back playing my game.
Once upon a time, computer users knew about stack ops, register swaps, and all that neat low level stuff which is how the computer actually does things. Now, just click an icon, like every other performing monkey out there.
Of course, back then, we used keyboards made from dinosaur bones and grunted like Neanderthals as we typed away command lines and realized our batch file erased the entire program we were trying to run.
But it was fun. Nothing happened on our computers without permission.

You gotta be careful Drew. Now that we know you are one of "those" the help me posts are going to come thick and heavy. Especially from Rodge who actually thinks he's got a handle on this.
Cows with guns!

It's what I see, which does not mean it means anything. Like this.

My goodness. The nerd is strong in this one.
Well spotted.
