It's Holi[^] this Monday for us. Where I live, it is nothing. In my hometown it is huge. Having missed it for a couple years in a row, I will sob and get wasted. And by the way, it is not even a holiday here.

Heck, can't somebody who's good with computers do a program that optimizes the movement algorithm to get the result we want - that way I don't have to sit and hit the arrow keys randomly...

A 1024 tile is the best one I've been able to create.
I do well and then all of a sudden it all goes to pieces.

I rather like the "So Cute" post from just a little while ago.
Here is a similar one: a local ( Belgian? / European? ) company regularly calls people to entice them to receive regular home delivery of deep frozen goods. As long as they can come by your house with one of their delivery trucks they are happy.
The conversation runs as follows:
1) Hello, I am Mr/Ms XXXXXXXX of company YYYYYYY, do you know our products ?
2) Actually: yes, but I can't use them as I do not have a deep freezer.
3) Oh, sorry for disturbing you.
As long as they keep selling frozen goods line 2 stops the conversation right then and there, peace and quiet returns.

They believe that? It's an even more obvious lie than "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".
|
|
|
|
|
Until now, it worked six times or so in a row.
Alternatively they think: if anybody comes up with a lie like that its probably not worth the effort anyway.

That could be it.
Still, they call back, otherwise you couldn't have used it 6 times. Have you tried bel-me-niet-meer.be?

Yes, about a week ago I registered but I got a similar call a few days ago.
Maybe more luck a bit later.

From memory, I have never denied the deed. There are a few I would like to say didn't happen, but :handsUp: I did do that...

I've had several friend, most of them are gone now that sold frozen goods mostly steaks door to door back in the day. The food was terrible and they knew it! You would buy the service and they would deliver the steaks every month, the amount depended on your contract.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

You just wait until they partner up with some freezer salespeople.

This is a great tip: I'm really tired of those folks calling from phone companies, ...hem...wait...

Watching the news while eating my lunch, and they are reporting on the death of Tony Benn.
Apparently, Harold Wilson (a rather tedious British Labour Prime Minister of the 70s) said of him that he "immatured with age".
Now, I don't know about you, but I'd take that as a major compliment!

I would bloody love that as description. You cannot stop growing older, but I have worked hard over the years to not grow up.

Good News: I'd be shocked if your death didn't generate the same comments.

That, plus that it was a major relief to a lot of scared Welsh sheep...
