Did you got the picture or only the sound?
I'm trying to find out, why I can't see the picture, myself here in the Lounge. Experimented some times with the mov.-format, but it didn't change.

I just saw a "play" button on a black background and then, when trying to play it, the play button had a strikethrough.
The current version does play eventually. It looks like this to me:

Actually never happened to me, but maybe some day it will.
When a girl would ask me, how old I am, I could answer:
"Um, Playstation 1"
And the girl would surely look:
Like "this guy must be 100 years old".

No, but larger shirts worn in a vain attempt to hide an increasing waistline is.
And NASA shirts, right?

Like an old grumpy...
My Mom's young female neighbor (which had my favorite pussycat Misaki as a kid) came across, when I went through our smalltown.
We had fresh, rainy and windy 62°F. And you know these "smartphone/headphone autists".
She had jacket on, but open and her décolleté really on display.
Me thinking:
"GIRL, you got delicious honey-buns, but WHY IN THE WORLD you want to cleary risk a cold or even bronchitis??"
But as 35+ old fart always biting my tongue, of course.

But one interesting question, my loungers!
When some of you surely watched Alien on it's cinema launch in 1979, where the people afterwards discussing the very sexual untertone, the fulminant H.R. Giger design brought into the movie??
When I watched it the first time, in 2001, aged 17, I didn't noticed it. But when you get older, I mean you cleary see, that Giger had very much "genital" going on. Come on, LV 426 and the shipwreck...
Maybe one of the reasons, why Alien is still "age 16 restricted" in old Germany. And Mr. Scott also said, Ripley fully undressing would have been finally over-the-red line...

And he's 46, I'm 39.
So, "God's Country" is finally germanizing, too??
The Homo Smartphonicus is now real, so what doing now??

And another thing!
It's just astonishing to me, how the Döner Kebab was declassified over just 20 years, from excellent handcrafted good in 1999 to overpriced, generic, industrial rubbish in 2019.
And now we got 2023. Now wonder, you see and smell no one eating Döner in my smalltown, anymore.
IF they would make it like in 1999 (and "Ali and Hatschi" still know how!), you maybe would have to pay 15 bucks??
I always try to imagine, they would return to "1999s Döner-Imbiss only", and if this would work.

Remember the 90s days, when cellophane was still going strong?
These days, at least pocket knifes partly still coming wrapped in.

Reminds me of that great line from Dean Martin - "You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."

My loungers, do you still like self-cooked pudding with THICK SKIN on top?
