[The Most Mario Colors] The Mario franchise has two distinct logo styles. The first began with the Mario Bros. arcade game and is mostly used for side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. games, though not all of those games use that style. The second is a multicolor polygonal style… Link
[Friday Joke] A man is walking through the woods when he sees a bear charging at him. He runs, but he knows he can’t outrun a bear for long, so he starts praying, “Dear Lord, I beseech thee. Please, o Lord, please let this bear be a Christian!”
The bear catches up to him, knocks him down on the ground, then gets on its knees and says, “Dear Lord, thank you for this food I am about to receive…”

Computer Club Meeting this Sat. 1/25, 10:30a.m. at the Community Center, Winn Dixie Plaza, Big Pine Key.
I haven’t had an official notification, but I think that the Quilting Club will be occupying our space this weekend. If that is the case, we will meet at the Library.  I won’t really know for sure until I get there Sat. morning. Maybe we will be able to meet among the quilts, which would feel very good if this cold spell continues.
[Dating] I’ve been dating for decades. I mean, that’s amazing. Decades of dates. Hundreds of hours of dates. I could have learned an instrument by now. Or a language, or something productive. But it’s just harder when you’re older to date.
I think you don’t get to say some of those wonderful things. You can say when you’re young, you know, like, “I’ve never felt this way before.” I’m in my 50s. I felt this way before.
So I don’t know. I’m going to just hang in there. I’ve almost given up.
I feel like I’m close to giving up. I wish there was a bar that I could go to that almost, you know, you’re almost done.
You know, I wish the Goodwill store had a bar. That’s what I’m looking for. Take some secondhand clothing in and then just see what happens.

[Friday Joke] This guy sticks his head into a barbershop and asks, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looks around the shop and says, “About two hours.” The guy leaves.
A few days later the same guy sticks his head in the door and asks, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looks around at his shop full of customers and says, “About two hours.”
The guy leaves.
A week later the same guy sticks his head in the shop and asks, “How long before I can get a haircut?”
The barber looks around the shop and says, “About an hour and a half.”
The guy leaves.
The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, “Hey, Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes.” In a little while, Bill comes back into the shop laughing hysterically.
The barber asks, “Bill, where did that guy go when he left here?”
Bill looks at him and says, “To your house.”

[Friday Joke] A fisherman returns from his fishing trip and tells his friends, “I caught a fish that was so big, when I got it onto the boat, the boat sank.”
“That sounds like a whopper,” his friend replies.
“It was,” says the fisherman. “But that’s not the best part. When I swam back to shore, I found the fish sitting there waiting for me.”

China’s mini aircraft carrier is one of the most advanced warships in the world. why isn’t America building one? Even among the U.S. Navy’s mighty battle fleet, there is no other ship quite like Sichuan. And while she is the first of her kind, she certainly won’t be the last. Link

[Boar’s Head Deli Meat Bad] Forrest City, Ark. Slime and insects: Federal inspectors found unsanitary conditions at multiple Boar’s Head deli meat plants, according to newly released reports from the Department of Agriculture. A Boar’s Head plant in Virginia closed last year after it was linked to a deadly listeria outbreak, but new reports revealed that the problems at the 120-year-old family-owned company extended far beyond one plant. At three other locations in Arkansas, Indiana, and Virginia, inspectors documented violations over six years, including mold, insects, condensation falling on food, and meat and fat residue on walls and equipment. One inspector described “general filth” at the Indiana location. Other observations at the three plants included “dried meat juices and grime” on a doorway, “unidentified slime,” and a puddle of “blood, debris, and trash.” Boar’s Head said those conditions don’t meet its “high standards.” “This makes me extremely angry and sad,” said Garett Dorman, whose mother died in the listeria outbreak.
