Random post of triumvirate nerdiness

[napoleonherself]

I am, as always, the only person in the world who still plays The Sims 1. Here is something weird I JUST noticed about this one neighborhood:



Now, those names are the surnames of families in the neighborhood, and all the non-grayed-out ones are the families that were randomly generated for this neighborhood as part of the Vacation expansion pack. And, uh. Am I the only one who sees a pattern here? They don't all fit, but enough do that I'm kind of boggling a bit.

Also: today in Kingdom Of Loathing I got a spooky hockey mask! I believe this calls for the excessive emoticon usage of which I was briefly quite fond about two or three years ago, so :D :D :D :D

Now we are going to watch some Babylon 5 on hulu. I never, ever watched B5 when it was on the teevee -- I'm a Star Trek fan, born and bred, and there's historically only been room for one giant rotating space station in my heart -- but turns out that this is pretty good too! I had no idea it was so FUNNY. Well, in between all the blah blah plot blah drama blah. "At the hour of scampering" indeed!

Does that always happen? Did they only put nerd names in that expansion pack?

That's a good question! I poked around in some of the other neighborhoods, which have different sets of randomly-generated names, and saw a lot of similar stuff there. Programmers are nerds, after all.
