My family started a Christmas tradition a few years ago where we sit around and eat Christmas snacks and watch my brother beat the NES Ninja Turtles game.

THAT WAS MY FAVORITE GAME AS A KID

(after Zelda)

That game is incredibly difficult!

I loved it to death until my mom killed the NES with a hammer and I could never play again ;_;

Donkey Kong night terrors?

i sorta wish it were xmas again

killed the NES ... with a hammer?

Oh yeah. I was playing it in secret when she'd hidden because I had played too much one summer instead of being outdoors. When I was home alone I'd get it out from the hiding spot, hook it up, and play. One day she came home unexpectedly and caught me. She promptly ripped out all the wires and took the whole thing out to the back deck. She came back inside found a hammer and proceeded to smash it to bits. It was a traumatizing experience.

that sounds horrifying! i remember being at a friend's party at like age ... age whatever year super mario 3 came out, and just being aghast that his parents came and took the nes away temporarily, i think if i had seen a scene like that one i would have tried to run away from home

we used to steal our confiscated NES back too but we were playing 'metal gear'. I think my parents were too cheap to ever hammer it.

damn erica hammering that unit mustve been so satisfying for yr mother, so gangster

I'm sure it was. When she realized that I'd been playing it in secret for weeks she just went mental. SO PISSED. It was a sad sad day for me.

we used to steal our confiscated NES back too

:)

haha I got caught playing video games when I wasn't supposed to, too. it was Super Nintendo though.

I got grounded from video games like every other week as a kid iirc

Claudia did have really great boobs though.

FP (xxp)

ha! No, not Claudia from the babysitters' club though iirc she was my favorite. She was 1/2 Asian and a very snappy dresser. Oh God, why do I remember that. ps - totally tried to start my own babysitters' club.

Was talking about the girl who bares hers to Rusty while the Griswolds are in Germany in European Vacation.

posted on that other one by accident

I just searched for it and I can't find any previous posts about it. On the other hand, I could hook you up with a video of Rusty saying "I think he's gonna pork her, dad!".

I love how dick-waving on ILX essentially amounts to who can call the most people racist

Nice selective editing.

i was hoping the post would be Tuomas asking what a "movie" is

tbf that post was hilarious

oh it definitely was

I had actually seen 11 of the 25 movies, but I guess editing out all the comments on those makes the post "funny".

it kinda did

when it comes to pop culture, Tuomas knows stuff. but, there is stuff he also does not know. Whiney - you nailed him!

shut up it was funny

VegGrrl has used both words in the last two days! No joke: Yesterday I saw her post about "decolletage" on the Mad Men thread and asked my wife what it meant. When I found out, I said, "Huh. Why did I think it had to do with interior decoration?" Then, this afternoon, I saw her post upthread and was like "Oh, that's why!"
