"He's learning from his mistakes!"

That joke was one my all-time favorites. If not in the top 5 all-time it has to be at least in the top 10. These old NES and SNES games provided some great jokes and moments. The 5-man scramble in RBI Baseball with Matt was our defining moment - I have never seen Matt laugh any harder, and I definitely have seen him laugh hard many times. Also, watching Matt play Gyruss (I remembered the name of the game!) every day until he got a job was the perfect way to start my senior year.


Here is some other great stuff:

• "The Devil is waiting", "Pubes", "Rush Courageously", and, of course, "The Wings are Yours" and the rest of the game description jokes.
• Watching Matt and Paul play RC Pro-Am.
• Bud and I's battles with each other in the regular Mario game on Mario 3 by "making them blue."
• Matt getting the chicken in Super Castlevania.
• Maintaining "Quo Status" with Paul in Bowser's Castle in Mario 3.
• Walter Payton's bionic line drive pass in Tecmo Bowl.
• Others?
  

(As an aside, I'm listening to the OU-OU game on online radio and the announcers just said they've been on the lookout for Ron Burgundy, being in San Diego. Thought you guys would like that.)

Anyhow, the reason I bring up all this classic gaming stuff is to give you a couple of links that might enable you to bring the sweet aroma of those jokes back in your life anytime you want. That is by using some good ol' emulators. D-load the emulator, unzip it in an "emulator" folder, d-load some "ROM"s of games, put them in the same folder, and then open the emulator program and pick the game. Good strong fun. Stay classy wieners.
