I always thought the top line was for beer, wine, or alcohol.

I had no idea that "Tag" (the game) is an acronym for "Touch and Go"

Don't believe every meme you see.

Etymology of 'Tag'

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tag-acronym-touch-and-go/

How factual is the claim that the name of the children's game "tag" originated as the acronym of "touch and go"?

I wish kids who had the body spray went by this mantra.

But if that's what tag stood for, wouldn't it in all caps? Like BASE or HALO jumping, NASCAR racing, etc.? I guess scuba isn't often in all caps so maybe not.

I did find out recently that Adidas didn't actually mean "All day I dream about sports," but rather is a shortened combination of the creator's first and last name (Adolf "Adi" Dassler).

Tag is so amateur.

Manhunt was a way better version of tag.

Tag/Hide and Seek at night was always fun when we were kids.

Speaking of hide and seek at night, one time I went to a school camp trip (because we didn't go to prisons like other people on this site for a trip lol) and one night they had a game where the people there were "it" and everyone else had to find a dummy and bring it back to the base.

So it was almost like a a scavenger hunt mixed with laser tag. Planning and strategizing in the dark, trying to avoid the camp people(if they see you/"tag" you with their flashlight while you're moving, you're out). It was a big outdoor area with hills, tables and lots of other stuff so it was fun to do that. Obviously the closer you got, the more people would be around the area, but the extra challenge was not even knowing where it was either. So you're navigating in the dark to find something you don't know where it is. And unlike a video game, you can't fire at the opposition, simply just avoid them.

And Puma was founded by his brother Rudolf.

More like Touch-and-Go is a backronym for Tag

Oh maybe it was German, now I don't remember. Maybe I thought Adidas sounded Greek or something. Forgive my mistake, I didn't look it up again.

I should be using Chrome over Firefox.

Yes I know, Firefox isn't THE browser anymore and hasn't been for years, but I always just kept it for familiarity reasons and the fact I have specific settings for privacy/cookies, as well as plugins installed.

However, the firefox updates the past several months which were actually supposed to make it better have made it worse for me. Similar on mobile devices too. Flash player and other things aren't perfect either on Firefox for whatever reasons, initial browser startup takes forever, and sometimes it just "gives up" on loading some pages, so it's best just switching to Chrome.

Now I'm just trying to figure out all the settings on Chrome, specifically privacy and cookies on it. I know Chrome apparently tracks people more than Firefox, and I don't want to log in on Chrome either cause I don't like being tracked that way. All I've done so far is install a new theme and AdBlock.

This is why I've been actively trying to de-Google-fy my life. I know every company tracks you, but not every company is as aggressive, dishonest, and pernicious as Google. I'm slowly migrating to iOS for phone, tablet, etc. because even if Apple is also in the data-collection game, their primary business is selling you devices and services. Google's primary (sole) business is collecting as much information as possible about you and selling it. The former isn't great, but compared to the latter, it's much preferable IMO.
