Random Thoughts

I got my free NES games for my 3DS! You don’t get them because you didn’t want to pay $250 for the system.

Apparently we’ve demoted the term “badass”. “That was one badass episode of My Little Pony.”

“The Care Bears were all like, ‘You need to share.’ It was so badass.”

Come to think of it, there were a lot of really sissy shows when I was a kid.

I hope they’ll have a Back to the Future remake ready for 2015.

So who recorded the new “Noooo!” for ROTJ? Hard to believe James Earl Jones would be involved with that unless at gunpoint.

Car we got from my parents has an opposite of valet key – opens trunk, glovebox, but won’t start car. What’s that for?

Looked like my cutie head had another false alarm on smelling a gas leak, but technician found regulator outside was leaking.

Anyway, now that our house contains a baby, we have to be extra careful about not exploding it.

Playing Legend Zelda on my 3DS. Can’t believe it’s been a quarter of a century since I heard this. For a twenty-five years now, the lyrics “octoroks, tektites, and levers too” has been randomly jumping into my head.

  1. The car you got from your parents, that’s the chick key! They need access to the trunk for laundry and for loading luggage and such and to the glovebox for beauty stuff to make them look good for their men, but they NEVER get to drive! EVER!

  2. James Earl Jones gets involved in all sorts of silly stuff. Haven’t you ever heard the deep voice saying “This is CNN” just before you switched over to Fox? A man has to eat so don’t begrudge him a chance to score some dead presidents.

  3. Since my house doesn’t contain a baby (or a wife, or a roommate, or a dog…), and because I’m a skinflint, I have done nothing about the gas leak in my house. And besides, I only smell gas once or twice a week, so it can’t be that big of a deal, right?

  4. Come to think of it, there were a lot of really sissy shows when I was a kid.

    The sixties were good for a few good things. We had Speed Racer in which drivers on fire climbed out of cars before they fell down and died. Then, there was Johnny Quest with the ever cool Race Bannon who could wield a BAR to great effect. That was badass. Plus, Johnny Quest is chock-a-block full of racial stereotypes. Sesame street and touchy-feely crap came along and cartoons were ruined.

    I hate the fact that I just figgured out what ROTJ stands for.

  5. I hope they’ll have a Back to the Future remake ready for 2015.

    Actually, because of union problems, it took over 15 years to remake it. So the remake wasn’t finished until 2031. Then they went back in time to release it in 2015.

  6. When I was studying animation Care Bears & Smurfs & My Little Pony & Scooby Doo were all the rage. You can imagine My rage. I wanted Bugs Bunny Nips The Nips, Part Deux. Coal Black & The Seben Dwarfs. Real rubber toons, no apologies. Just reality.

  7. Hat tip to Shubi at Townhall:
    Obama is the shepherd I did not want, He leadeth me beside the still factories, He restoreth my faith in the Republican party, He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

    Why are pundits speculating about Hillary challenging obama for the nomination?
    Is she the Only democrat in the country who still has aspirations for the presidency?
    Surely there must be other democrats who think the country can’t survive without their unique brand of leadership? (It’s a malady common to all presidential hopefuls, so there must be a few dems out there who have the ‘fever’.)
    Al Gore – Run! Harry Reid – Run! Barney Frank – Run! Jessie Jackson – Run! Al Sharpton – Run!
    Come on you guys, take a stab at it!
    Joe Liebermann – Run! (I might actually send him a dollar if he did!)
