Doom Metal Alchemist

Goddamn it. I was writing off sawdy's comment as ridiculous, but now I can't unsee it.

Damn, lucky. It may be shitty, but that free laptop is coming in handy right now, huh?

Fuck, I forgot to respond to this when I first replied to the thread. *ahem* Sponges (because ginguy refuses to acknowledge sponges' existence, and probably has for several years now)

As an adult, I couldn't beat it because I couldn't figure out the correct pattern for world 8-4 before the timer runs out, and I couldn't get any practice in because there's a part in world 8-3 where the hammer bros. almost always kill me.

Damn, back-up laptop. Unless one (or both) of those are for work, I don't think many people would have a back-up in this world of smart phones.

For whatever reason, it popped into my head when Key & Peele were setting up a sketch to the audience. I don't even remember what the sketch was, but the setup was pointing out how in movies involving the white house and government and stuff, they never say "goodbye" or anything when getting off the phone. They just abruptly stop talking and hang up. Today, I think I realized why this is. That happens in tense scenes in the movies, and I think if a character in such a tense scene would say, "Alright, I'll talk to you later. M-bye," it would take everyone in the audience right out of the moment and it would feel awkward and not the kind of tense they were going for. So, not only taking out the "goodbye" (what's the opposite of a greeting?) and just abruptly end the call, not only does it keep the tense feeling from the scene intact, but it might actually add even more tension just by nature of the call ending abruptly.

Sue him for malpractice?

I'm a 35 year old virgin now, but bet your bottom dollar in a few years I'm gonna marry my favorite glamour model.

I don't know about all that, but there was also a very famous documentary called Supersize Me.

Well, you've already ranted here about how your callers that don't have their policy numbers ready are idiots.

Doctor: "Ok midnight, you're overweight, tell me about your diet." Midnight: "Well, I love to cook home-made hamburgers." Doctor: "Well there's your problem. Home-made hamburgers are the unhealthiest hamburgers you can have. Get McDonald's instead. That's a much healthier choice."

I used to have those dreams all the time.

Goddamn it, as I was reading the thread just now, I wanted to make a "he can literally swing his dick around" joke, but you ruined it.

ROFL. Despite video games, starting with the NES, being my whole world until the age of 13 (and still a significant part of my world until, I don't know, age 19 maybe?), I have always sucked at video games. I've never even beaten the original Super Mario Bros. Even when I revisited it as an adult. Even on Super Mario All-Stars where I can have a save point to world 8-1.

I assumed this was about Ocarina of Time. I was like, "beat him at what? Do you compete with him about something?" EDIT: And now I just saw that other thread. D'oh!

I call bullshit. That would mean you left the basement.

You hang out with a lot of dudes way older than you?

Happy birthday guys! @That_One_Guy here's your cake: (that's from funnyjunk so it may not display, oh well) Kateyes, sorry I don't know enough about you to know what kind of cake would be fitting for you.

They are, but that's just dubious marketing tactics.

Is money all that matters?

This part of the poll made me smile: It always seems like I'm the only perpetually single person who doesn't mind Valentine's Day.

lol dude has a prison record, eh, who cares, dude has no car, KICK HIM TO THE CURB.

Why? I thought you of all people would be wrapping it up in LATEX condoms anyway...

I'm so glad I had work last night.
