A couple years ago I was talking to my kids and remembering computer games they played when they were little (mid 1990s). One game I could not remember well other than there was a map where you could choose what game to play, and the title rhymed. Finally today, after 2 years, this grid helped me remember the name of the game!

MollyL
Don't you have to pass a physical or something to be allowed to go into space?
9:12 am

9:12 am
MollyL
Yeah Harry, very phallic
9:13 am
hokie carla
ah yes, I've seen them called other things, but I guess you didn't want people clutching pearls here

hurshy, they just played an interview and he's a good actor, he seemed excited and not scared.
9:27 am
hurshy
well one can be both excited and scared :)
9:27 am
hurshy
or perhaps the fear he mentioned has now passed
9:27 am
hokie carla
or they filmed the interview before he got scared about it
9:30 am

name that NY Mets pitcher from the 80s/90s!
9:31 am

are both of the oo words pl/
9:31 am
Buggie
There are rules about becoming an actual astronaut, each company sets its own rules. But Shatner is a passenger. So not the same criteria. No idea what Blue Origin’s criteria are for passengers though. This is so incredible that we’re finally starting to look back to space again. Of course only a select few get to experience it, but maybe it will become more accessible in my lifetime
9:32 am
hokie carla
the 2 I have are, mlfan
9:33 am
MLFAN17
would help if i went the other direction
9:34 am
hokie carla
well considering the slightest motion makes me sick, I would never survive a trip into space
9:34 am
hokie carla
wow, just finished the B and made up 6/7 of them
9:43 am
MollyL
Then how do you ride in the RV all those hours?
9:45 am
hokie carla
oddly, riding in cars/RV isn't bad. but random things that no one else notices is bad. like one year I did early voting and fill in with a pen on a rickety table with 3 other people that I couldn't see, and I really felt bad after that.
9:46 am
hokie carla
but pretty much anything at an amusement park is very bad
9:47 am
hokie carla
now, it was very bad on monday when we were in the RV on the side of the interstate because every time a tractor trailer went by we rocked like a ship in the ocean.
9:48 am
rururocks
that's how they thrust into space harry
9:49 am
MollyL
You would need a big pocket for that rocket
9:50 am
hokie carla
10 seconds!
9:51 am
hokie carla
lol, it does kinda resemble something
9:54 am
rururocks
are you talking about the space ship or the ten seconds?
9:56 am
MollyL
Probably both

10:01 am
hokie carla
how much did the customers that paid pay?
10:03 am
hokie carla
ok, I'm about to be sick watching this. they keep circling the capsule.
10:04 am
MollyL
Blue Origin won't say how much. Virgin Galactic was charging $250,000
10:04 am
rururocks
I wonder if they have to put their tray tables up?
10:05 am
MollyL
They auctioned off one of the seats and the winning bid was (are you ready?) 28 million
10:07 am
rururocks
i could think of much better ways to spend 28 million dollars
10:07 am
hokie carla
😱
10:12 am
hokie carla
shatner made it out!
10:12 am
MollyL
Was there some question that he wouldn't?
10:13 am
hokie carla
I'm confused because they showed an interview with an 18 yo kid who was going but then I don't see him or hear another mention of him
10:13 am
hokie carla
yeah, the question was he is 90
10:13 am
rururocks
is he really? wow
10:15 am
hokie carla
his eyes look really rheumy. he was on this show a few years ago with Fonzie and 2 other guys, maybe Terry Bradshaw and I can't rem. the 4th. anyhoo, they would travel around foreign countries and I rem. thinking then how old he looked.
10:18 am
MollyL
The 18 year old was on the first flight
10:19 am
Buggie
The kid was on the previous flight with Jeff Bezos
10:21 am
rururocks
you think he'd bring some amazon or something
10:24 am
hokie carla
ah, thanks for clarifying on the kid
10:26 am
MollyL
He brought his Bezos brother Ru
10:28 am
MollyL
Dos Bezos
10:44 am
hokie carla

Wendrie
I have one po5/18 and another po5/22
3:12 pm
hurshy
then you either missed a plural of something or just a normal word probably. oh, there is an odd po4/6 that rhymes with a word meaning "impolite"
3:14 pm
Wendrie
I've got the rhyming 4/6. I've just listed for the last 19 and it's a po/5/18
3:15 pm
hurshy
oh ok then probably the one i meant
3:15 pm
hurshy

Bugsaw
How are you?
6:52 pm
