@DrNefasto i just remember it from my dad's vinyl which was some kind of disco compilation album. the cover was purple and had a lady in a purple bikini sitting in a pile of popcorn. loved it.
@solveigo nice post. BTW re: autolinking failing at the _, the FB autolinker has the same problem. The open source CASSIS auto_link function handles this properly: http://github.com/tantek/cassis cc: @flaneur
@solveigo Yeah, same. I'm not much of a gamer either. Not sure whether it's due to my ludicrously slow reactions or my general unwillingness to sacrifice my valuable TIMJ time to play?

This reminds me a little of the 80's electro/synth king Jean Michel Jarre. Popcorn is the perfect name for such a track!

@StudleyUK @cyberspiel yeah, you just made me look up some old colecovision games and now i miss it a lot! computer games were so much better in the 80s and early 90s.. i fell out of the loop when games went 3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sErT5_xUdA #olddog
