"Uhh, if you guys wanna see it, we got a kill screen up the front... Donkey Kong kill screen... KILL SCREEN!"

You could be the next Steve Wiebe.

Holy Moly - I just saw that movie the other night - amazing!  Pretty much everyone in it EXCEPT Steve Wiebe is a Grade-A FWD AND a nerd!  "You know - it's controversial - like the abortion debate."  Whew buoy...
Now write me a receipt so I can tip on outta here...

Yeah!  Steve Wiebe's basically normal to slightly-nerdier-than-normal.  Like his whole approach of actually confronting people in a non-threatening straightforward way just rocked the shit out of the gaming world when it's sort of like a standard middle management thing.  "Hey, I'll call this guy I don't like and try and breach an uncomfortable subject like an adult."  NO YOU DIDN'T!  Now that guy has to spend all his time on cell phones with arcade goons spying on you!

I was out on the Walk of Fame in Weird-O-Wood and a homeless man called me Steve McQueen with a Fat Face ... Close enough!!!

No, it's really not though.  That homeless man had to pay, and pay he did ... with all of his life up to that moment.












I am bored at work and none of the above is true.

Anyone looking for a healthy dose of Billy Mitchell crazy should take a look at this transcript from the Onion AV Club.

My favorite part:

Quote
AVC: I'd guess this is a question you're getting a lot.

BM: Either that, or I can read your mind, and you should hang up the phone quickly. Recall the scene in your mind. I'm walking with my wife—my trophy wife, which we'll talk about later. Um, what part of the country are you in? Chicago? Is that where you were born? Or where you grew up?

AVC: I grew up in Milwaukee.

BM: Very good. That plays a point later… We're on the record here so, I'm gonna watch what I wanna tell you. Are we on the record?

AVC: Yes.

3. Complement Dogmo.

Wait a minute... I don't think complimenting Dogmo works.
I have a long history of booing

Complementing will, complimenting will not.  How you do that is anyone's guess.

Should I watch King Of Kong? I keep walking past it in the video store, and the guy with the muttonchops who works evenings taped a little note to it that's like "EVERYONE HAS TO WATCH THIS IT IS SO AMAZING" but that's sort of convincing me in the other direction because he's never been that nice to me. And he has muttonchops.

Does let muttonchops affect you decision to see King Of Kong.  It is very good.  But I know what you mean about annoying people recommending good movies.  That has sometimes kept me away from some movies for a bit. I still haven't seen E.T. due to a jerk recommending it to me in third grade and that goes back to the early 80's.

You should see it.  It's not amazing , but it's darn good entertainment.

So was E.T., once upon a time.  I don't know if you'd enjoy it now, so you may have missed out forever, totep.

As if John Junk's word isn't good enough.
Emma, I know you'll listen to me.
Watch 'King of Kong', it's pretty great.
There's a guy in it called Mr. Awesome and you get to see his dating video.
It's like my webcam but sexier.

Not only have all these recommendations settled the matter, but I am stealing this post and handing it in as part of the poetry assignment I have to do for Writer's Craft.
