I love the movie WarGames. I saw it at the theater as a kid and still watch it today. I have seen it so many times that I lost count, lol. I have always loved the bread-and-butter technique myself—when it comes to spreading the butter on a cob of corn. Thanks for the plot-driving information, Jeff.

My dad did the bread/butter/corn thing. This was way before the movie came out. No one else in the family did it. Never knew where he came up with it. Of course, he was also fond of peanut butter and butter sandwiches for dessert. Ugh uhh.

My brother used to be fond of ketchup sandwiches: Ketchup, white bread, salt. We lived in primitive times.

This is me, in my dotage, thinking way too much about the buttering trick and nodding enthusiastically. Also, I very much liked "Human Gumption Machine," although I don't want one in my life, thanks.

Great movie!

Maybe a bit “wonderful world of color,” but we were all raised on that notion that all the world’s problems could be wrapped up in a few hours, if only smart kids were left unsupervised.

Unless, of course, Lord of the Flies, seemed more real to you. (What a ghastly book. Such a clunky plot.)
