Something involving Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, power tool user extraordinaire and lover of automobiles.



For those of you who don't know and are too lazy to look it up, Tim Taylor is an actor most well-known for his 1990´s TV hit series Home Improvement, which preceded Survivor in pioneering the reality tv genre (back when it was worth watching).  Already established as an accomplished tool man, Taylor accepted an offer from the company Binford Tools to star in a tool-related show called Tool Time. When his show sidekick and friend Al Borland suggested a one-time live show from Taylor's home, Taylor decided to make it a permanent fixture, as Binford Tools would now pay for any and every repair in the Taylor home.  When the ratings began to tank, Taylor decided to merge the old Tool Time with the elements of the new design.  He called this new show Home Improvement, or, as is more commonly known, The Revival of Cinéma Vérité for the Commoner Comedy-Drama.  Basically cameras went around his workplace and home filming everything Taylor and his family did.  The show was funny, witty, and had a little bit of everything for everyone.  It lasted about eight years and the only reason it was canceled is because his wife decided to get a PhD or sumthing.

Nowadays Tim Taylor solely plays a wannabe comedian named Tim Allen who is not funny at all.  Taylor had been playing Allen in small and menial roles for decades, but the name "Tim Allen" only came to the spotlight after it was credited as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story series.  Taylor could not be credited due to contractual and mortal obligations with Binford Tools, a onetime Hatfield/McCoy-like competitor with Hasbro Toys, the creator of the Mr. Potato Head featured in the animated movies.

Al Borland went on to host Family Feud for a few years under the stage name Richard Karn but then who knows what happened to him.

Continue until you hear the voice-over intro.  It goes downhill from there not because the game is bad, but because the voice kicks major ass.

...or for the old-timers who never even heard of it or for the youngins who have played it, whatevs:

BONKHEADS



It´s like the arcade Mario game but more varied, longer, and better.

Two good games for the Mac: Nanosaur and Bugdom.  Both have sequels but they are generally inferior to the originals.  Try Nanosaur and Bugdom now, Mac owners.

Thunder you are 16 jesus christ stop whining

come back in 5 years and then I will give a unicorn.

21 is still too young.

NOT FOR ME ;O;

harhar.

I must admit that I have no idea what Runescape is other than some kind of online video game.  My emoticons to you two still stand.

depends on whether or not he's 13 or younger.

 

I made RigGuest a really gay-looking Runescape account- do you think he'll like it?

I don't get what the purpose of this would be but it sounds like a good idea

An outright grammar dictionary might be tedious and possibly boring (NVM BIG RIGS CAN NEVER BE BORING), so instead it could be the WINNER equivalent to this:

You put in some text and it WINNERizes it for you. Not exactly the same as my original idea, but maybe something that some CS majors here can create.

Example:  

1) NON-WINNER Speech:

"Sir, please accompany me to the cattle ranch.  The villain has just pilloried your son for all the other ruffians to witness.  You must not let this transgression pass.¨"

2)  WINNER Speech:

"MR. T, please accompany STELLAR STONE to the GRAY VOID.  The HWSNBN has just LOSER your WINNER for all the ULTIMATE TRAFFIC STOPPER: A POLICE ROADBLOCK to WINNER.  YOU'RE must not let this LOSER LOSER."

3)  Alternate WINNER Speech for the lazy coder:

"YOU´RE WINNER !!"

 

I am RigGuest56 in the chat, though sadly I can't take that exact name here.  YOU'RE WINNER!

Make a WINNER grammar dictionary -- either as a separate site (www.winnerdictionary.com is not taken) or, more convenient, as part of the WIKI itself.  This is the conversation that led to the idea:

11:44:52   RigGuest56   I finally have my copy of big rigs
