Is bourbon better cold, then? Didn't know that.

Yep, the core books used to be $12, $12, and $15 when I started playing. Now they're $50 a pop. ;-)
Was just thinking about this, and finally got around to using the Inflation Calculator. According to this one, $15 in 1979 is worth $49.50 in 2015, so the prices look to have remained remarkably stable.

Which means that (pen and paper) game designers remained poor...

Well, that was fun. I went to the National Park at Fisherman's Wharf where all the turn of the century ships are kept. Spent forever on an old sidewheerer ferry. That was fun. They had replica magazines, products, and ads from the old days in the old ferry commissary, and a bunch of old cars in the hold. Also I explored an old sailing merchant vessel. Moved salmon packers from San Francisco to Alaska and lumber from Oregon to Australia and coal from Australia to San Francisco.

Oh, Microsoft. You cad.
"Upgrade to Windows 10 is free for a limited time."
Options: Upgrade now OR Upgrade tonight.
Good golly, I've got such choices.
(I'm hitting the "X" button, for the record. Blech to Win10.)
(("It's better than Windows 8" isn't the most stellar recommendation I can give it. It does have a few nice features that I like, but, uh, it's not worth the hassles that come with it, or the ugliness of the interface.))

Why would you refrigerate bourbon?

Gotta love product propaganda videos, I forgot how fun they were.
Legos are best! All others will bow before our carefully constructed wrath!!
Please take our survey, It's mandatory!!
Oh! The best part about the mandatory survey, the first question is "do you choose to take the survey, yes or no" if you choose no, you don't have to take the survey. I always choose no, every single time.

Bourbon tastes better chilled, and I lack the facilities to make ice cubes.

You could set that bike on fire and help warm up that poor woman.

So a rather tame/mundane example of Orthos's Bizarre Dreams last night.
Long story short, I dreamed I was playing through Chrono Trigger again. Except I had an eighth party member - that cat that keeps showing up and doing random things. It was pretty much a mini-Ayla, strong and fast physical attacker, kind of a glass cannon.
The thing was, it could talk. And it was a bitter, sardonic, smart-mouthed, antagonistic little bugger, pretty much with its personality ripped straight from Flowey from Undertale. This didn't stop it from being a useful party member or helping defeat opponents, but it did make it frustrating to have in the party when it kept threatening people with bizarre or interesting or disturbing deaths.
... aaaaand then when I got to Zeal, the little punk ran away and turned into Lavos. Of course.

Interesting.
My most boring dream involves me arguing with a Time Warner representative.
One of my most entertaining recurring dream when I am in a warm climate area is that its the modern world I'm somewhere in either Southern Italy or the south of France, and five assassins are after me and a woman in my care.
The assassins are never typical, from near teenage youths to overly obese women, they have the most noir weapons, from a barbers straight edge razor to a hypodermic syringe that was laced with something that would kill within a minute.
There are always chase scenes, they come one at a time and never together, and I almost always beat the first guy, I get killed of by the second through fourth guys.
I don't think I have ever made it to the fifth assassin, but I really believe the girl I am escorting turns to be the very assassin.

Umm. Lots of snow? It's blowing a lot, so it's in uneven drifts and hard to tell how much there really is.

Maybe I was Gandalf, I imagine Shadowfax was pretty run down.
Gandalf: Shadowfax, we must journey with haste to Minas-Tirith
Shadowfax: Oh, f~!! you old man, learn to cast Teleport for f++$'s sake
