I know the GTA SA version doesn't, although with some coding I could make it Bugatti fast...

I likey that orange monster but I mentioned already I love those automatics and the orange face is a huge bonus as I have always wanted one - but never got one. About the closest I got is a yellow face Casio with a rubber wrist band that pulls on my gorilla hair on my arms. Never wore it much because of that.

A number of years ago, I stumbled across some computer generated compositions ... somewhere on the interwebs. It was mind bending to read the stories. As I recall, they were grammatically correct and maddeningly incoherent. Anyone know anything about this?

Random radium radiation x-rays electromagnetism polarization bipolar schizoid neurotic amorphous solid brittle break brake broken repairable delicate junk sophisticated fake illusion incomprehensible quark string theory unification singularity

(No, that's not an example, it's just word association) But, the program would take a string of words which might be associated and construct sentences and paragraphs, following rules of grammar. At first it would seem to make sense, but if you kept reading you would soon realize it was (by human standards) insane!

Woah, did I just calculate the speed it takes to reverse time?

Yes I did, 300,000 mph against the earth's rotation... (theoretically speaking)...

We Don't Walk Alone

music/lyrics: J Verner-Carlsson (c) 2009

We're all on our own, but we don't walk alone!

Welcome to this Earth
welcome to this dance of Life -
we all go through
the same kind of lessons
when we lost our Innocence.

Whether we're from China,
Nihon or New Jersey -
we better choose
someone to trust,
someone to call
a friend.

Scattered thoughts & broken wings
pumping lights & traffic signs
This city's like a labyrinth,
some kind of a computer-game.

You walk these streets of silence
to find the keys of Fate.
You're working in a factory
you're not home until its late.

You push yourself to the limits
of what a human cell can take
your body's like a racing car,
no clutches on the brakes.

You know it's all about attention
cause attention gives the bread.
& everyone's fighting
to survive this battle with a smile.

you're all on your own,
you're all on your own,
but you don't walk alone
no, you don't walk alone.

you're all on your own,
you're all on your own,
but you don't walk alone
no, you don't walk alone.

It's all about running & spinning
like a president for his office
you got to make your allies
and play some chess
with your heart at stake.

No night, no dreams
no day, no hope
no darkness, no horizon
The future is at the fingertips
of some computer wiz.

and You know
One day they may tell you,
you're not in it anymore
You know
One day they may tell you,
someone else is there to
take your place.

So you run off to
a world of fantasies
hiding behind
the masks of deception
when you start to understand
you lost your innocence.

you're all on your own
you're all on your own,
but you don't walk alone
no, you don't walk alone.

you're all on your own,
you're all on your own,
but you don't walk alone
no, you don't walk alone.

So, welcome to this Earth
welcome to this dance of Life -
we all go through
the same kind of lessons
when we lost our Innocence.

Whether you're from China,
Chicago or New Jersey -
you better choose
someone to trust,
someone to call
a friend.

I'm back to modding out my PC copy of GTA: SA and so here's my version of the TV spot to Forza Motorsport 3...

I slipped in a smart in front of the BMW M3...


My to do list:

smart road trip
Speed (movie with bus)(my version in GTA: SA)

Remember these "you will" Commercials from AT&T
Where they were off was thinking folks would still be using Pay Phones. Other than that, not bad for 1993 Predictions considering the Interweb was just getting off the ground. They just didn't predict the wireless revolution in Phones and computers very well

Really? Maybe when 'jet' gets his turbo on his Brabus, we'll get to see what he looked like way back when he says he was good looking!
