Funny / Dirty Laundry: An Alternate 1980s

• In regards to Queen ITTL:
  Heavy Metal Poisoning: Speaking of Queen, they were pretty much done in America after Hot Space and the video for "Radio Ga Ga". I suppose that'll stay the same ITTL?
  Andrew: Unless I reboot the timeline such that the POD causes Don Henley to go on a murderous rampage and kill Paul Prenter, I'm afraid so.
• The beginning of the car analogy that leads to a computer codenamed Cadillac
  MENINSKY [excitedly]: Yeah, it’s the other side of my mom example. Moms want the ‎practical game machine for their kids. But what do dads want? They’re pushing 40, all of a ‎sudden you don’t want a station wagon any more, you don’t want a Ford. You want something ‎sexy. [She pouts, mock-seductively, and the all-male table starts laughing.] You want a Mustang, a Porsche, a Ferrari. Something that says 'I have an enormous penis,' but, you know, with a sense of fun. ‎[The rest of the table breaks out into uproarious laughter.]‎ So, it’s our ‘mid-life crisis computer.’ When you’re ready to be a ‎real man, you’re ready to upgrade from that 64 to an Atari. We emphasize all the business stuff, ‎but then, they know, we’re also cranking out manly video games. You work hard, you play hard.‎
