Has anyone tried the new Mountain Dew Blue?  It is kind of a citrus fruit mix or something (can't remember what it was called).  I tried it for the first time yesterday, and you can actually tell it was mountain-dew ish..unlike LiveWire.
It was pretty good, but nothing will be better than classic MD.
I like the Code Red flavor the most, but I hardly ever see that in stores anymore.

Same here. My mom used to drink Code Red all of the time.  You could tell that was mountain dew as well.  Live wire may as well just have been sunkist

Mountain Dew Voltage. It's pretty good, and it reminds me of Pepsi Blue, which I really liked.

Now I'm pissed at Fine Living Network...They moved Iron Chef from 9 PM to 10 PM, and put some stupid show in its place. :censored:

Three Sheets, the program that moved in, was salvaged from the dead MOJO HD. There were several people on another forum I go to waiting for news on when and where it would land.

Yeah, they've used those exact same title bars since like 2000. I was hoping they would change them when TWC went HD. At least the maps still have that "classic" feel to them that TWC had on air pre-2004ish.

Softball Update: The Thrillers and I are now 0-2. But yesterday's game against the Holtville Sluggers was much better than against the Duck Centro Angels on Tuesday (We did POORLY against the Angels. I got strucked out two times, our team lost two pitchers, the backup pitcher sucked, and I went from Center fielder to right fielder.) I became a backup pitcher for one inning in yesterday's game and I was pretty ok. But I would stick to being a Center Fielder and catch some high balls.

Who wants to watch a 4000 Emulator when I'm streaming a real 4000? :P

Tonight while I was at work, lightning struck a house right across the street. The storm came directly over us and we saw a few very bright flashes and heard some insanely loud booms. Apparently one of those very close strikes hit a house across the street and started and started a fire. There was smoke coming from the house for a while until the first fire truck finally came and then a bunch more fire trucks arrived and caused one of the main roads in the area to close for over an hour. On my way home, I drove past the house and there was a big burnt-out hole in the roof of the house with a tarp over it.
