    - Paddle controllers?!? The one my parents bought me had slides 😉 - JD May 11, 20:31
  - I was going to say that too, but that wasn't a "system" which implies changeable games. - Cuzzin Todd May 11, 20:27
- I've had all but 6 and possibly 3. I don't recognize it. - David May 11, 20:21 8
  - I want to say that’s a Sega—I think Neo Geo had huge controllers —like lap top size, with buttons -- nm - Flavorize May 11, 20:24 7
    - Yup. Google search confirms it. That's a Master System controller. -- nm - Mop May 11, 20:29 2
      - My brother and I debated between that and a NES as how we were going to spend our Christmas money and what we'd saved over the year - JD May 11, 20:39
      - Oh, the one before the Genesis. Yeah, I never had that. - David May 11, 20:32

- oof. Poppe was on AI last year "to plug her new album; however, the show cut to commercial before she was able to announce her album." -- (link) - Max May 11, 20:16
- I'm surprised I got three. Kelly, Carrie Underwood and Jordan Sparks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 11, 20:16
- 1 kelly -- nm - Peglegpete May 11, 20:12
- also it's kind of funny that they've filmed the last few seasons of survivor on Fiji's party islands. -- nm - mafic May 11, 20:07 2
  - it keeps many costs down only going to 1 place -- nm - Peglegpete May 11, 20:12 1
    - it's more the choice of place. it's kind of like having Survivor: Nevada and putting it two miles from the strip. -- nm - mafic May 11, 20:32
- uh, Kelly Clarkson, that guy who kind of looked like George Clooney and Tom Sizemore had a baby, the country one (Carrie?), and Ruben? -- nm - mafic May 11, 20:01

    - I wonder if the bait and switch yesterday with Sheamus and Cesaro is that Sheamus showed up ill. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 17:41 9
      - I think they're pre-burying Cesaro in anticipation of his leaving for AEW. - David May 11, 17:47 8
        
        Which in his case is odd because he’s cut like marble and pound for pound stronger than anyone not named Cena. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 17:54 6
        
        but he has zero personality. He's not great on the mic, but he never really got a shot. -- nm* - Remlik May 11, 18:04 4
        
        His 007 gimmick was fine. And by god they actually drummed into us him and Seamus long enough it actually worked. -- nm - Qale May 11, 18:57
        
        Why do you have 50 producers if you can’t build up his weaknesses? - Will Hunting May 11, 18:11 2

        Dude had his front teeth driven into his gums and kept wrestling for another 15 minutes. He's a badass, but Vince doesn't understand him or something -- nm - Tim May 11, 17:57
        
        I mean, they've been burying Cesaro for years. -- nm - Tim May 11, 17:48
Dear Canadian STers. I am mystified as to the politics of Quebec pushing hard to break quarantine. Have not asked aunts/uncles/cousins, yet. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 17:10 7

      - mine showed up Saturday, I banked it today. -- nm - Peglegpete May 11, 17:25
      - We could probably verify this theory just with STers. - David May 11, 17:23 2
        
        In the interest of the experiment. We got ours May 8th, I just noticed it in our checking account today. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 17:25 1
        
        Mine was deposited Apr 15. Same day as my SS and tax refund. Best day in the last two months :) -- nm - Meg May 11, 18:07
