Kansas City Literary Festival?

martelo · 2012-05-24T05:01:24.781793-07:00

I'm quite sure the poster specifically said May 19, 2012. It was hanging up in the central library in January/February.

That's too bad about losing sponsors, it sounded like a fun event. I ended up not going because I was unsure. Is the future of the festival still looking shaky?

Forsaken perhaps?

I saw this when you posted and it got me thinking and having my own TOMT experience because I'm pretty sure I'd read this one. I just so happened to run into it at a thrift store today - was it "Grave Doubts" by John Peel?

That title is one heck of a tongue twister

The lyrics vaguely remind me of the song "MoneyGrabber" by Fitz and the Tantrums

I'm not surprised considering the audience, but the comments on that article still made me sad.

I imagine this varies by state (I'm in Kansas if anyone has direct experience), but how exactly does buying a gun at a gun show work? Can I really just hand over cash and walk away with a gun, with no paperwork? If all the dealers at the show are FFLs, will I need to fill out a Form 4473? Should I have a few prepared beforehand and bring them with me? Since I'm in the KC area on the KS side, can I buy a gun at a Missouri show?

Also, somewhat related, what is the etiquette for handling a gun at a shop if I want to have a look at it? Obviously I'm not going to go pointing it in the clerk's face but is there anything else that is particularly gauche or out of bounds in terms of handling a gun at a store?

Sounds like the Dexter's Laboratory movie "Ego Trip" that aired on Cartoon Network - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293092/

I have no idea what brand it was but I used to have a watergun shaped like an UZI that was actually motorized - it would shoot automatic bursts of water. It also had a "magazine" of water that you'd load it with. As you can expect, the combination of water and electrical parts meant it broke pretty quickly. It also was very realistic, black colored, with no orange tip. They don't make em like that anymore.

The big sales at Central are cool, but check out the branch libraries: at least the East Boston branch, probably others, are constantly selling off old books for stupidly cheap prices. Like 25 cents for a paperback, 50 cents for a hardcover, 5 books for a dollar. It's nuts. Kids books and VHS tapes too if that's your scene.

Netstorm: Islands at War? I remember ads for this in PC Gamer back in the day, it looked so cool but I never played it.

Someone posted a similar TOMT a few weeks back and it ended up being M83 - Midnight City, is that it?

Company takes reasonable steps to appeal to different audiences in different parts of the world, stop the presses. Don't let me get in the way of American Reddit users' perpetual self-flagellation about how this is the fault of our godawful school system or Republicans or something.

There was an FPS in the mid-90s called Strife. I never played it but I remember reading about how it mixed shooting and role playing (talking to NPCs, etc). Not sure if it mixed the 2D and 3D like you say though.

I think this looks pretty good. I like Colin Farrell, the production design in this movie looks interesting (the decidedly Eastern Recall building, for example), and it seems like it will hew a lot closer to the original story than the Verhoeven/Arnie one. Don't get me wrong, I adore the original Total Recall, but I'm not going to let that turn me off to what could be a fun and interesting retelling of the story. If it's good then it's good and if it sucks then I can just pop in the original DVD and have a blast, what's the problem?

I don't think this is it, but it certainly looks interesting

Quarantine?

"Found footage" movie where a news reporter does a ride-along with the fire department and gets quarantined inside of an apartment building along with "zombies" infected by some kind of rabies-like virus.

Is that image from that episode of Quantum Leap where Sam leaps into the body of a NASA test-monkey?

M83 - Midnight City?

My public high school (and possibly middle school, don't remember) in the Kansas City area offered a home ec type class. I didn't take it, though. I sort of wish I had, it would have given me a nice head start for after moving out of the dorms in college. I credit my fiancee with really getting me into cooking, I love it now.
