? Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

? Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

? I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

? Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?

? Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no an internet or message board or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft. (I personally thought it was the Sega games we had to do that to.)

? There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

? Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f#$% was going on when I first saw it.

? How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

? I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

? I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

? The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

? A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

? Was learning cursive really necessary?

? Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

? I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

? Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

? How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

? I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

? Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)...ummm...Goonies"

? While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

? MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

? I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

? I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."

? I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

? Bad decisions make good stories.

? Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

? If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

? Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem.

? You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

? Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

? There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

? I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

? "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

? I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

? I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

? When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.

? I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

? As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

? Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

? I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

? Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

? Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 f eet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

? My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

? I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

? I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

? The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat %$#@! before dinner.
 
:rofl_200::rofl_200:

We used to have to blow the dust out of the Atari cartridges all the time...

Don't know how we knew.....we just did:confused2:
 
:rofl_200::rofl_200:I think i love you man...That was some funny stuff.
I thought I was the only one to do alot of that. Guess I'm normal.:eusa_dance:
 
hahah, my wife sent me one very similar to this. One of them was something like this:
"Why are the letters 'G' and 'T' so close on the keyboard...? That's the last time I end an email with 'Regards'":rofl_200:
 
they need to change one "the only time I am happy to catch a red light is when I am on my Vmax :biglaugh:" next Victom
 
LOL Funny shit!

The Nintendo one hit home. Used to do it all the time.

The phone one where they drop it and run... Yeah that's my fiance and texting.

well said man, its funny cause its true.

as for the ipod shuffle, well you sure did hit that nail on the head. :punk:
 
I've noticed with my ipod on shuffle it seems to play some songs very often, and others hardly ever, with about 50% of the library not getting one single play, after probably days worth of shuffle play. What's with that? I have to make a separate playlist of these "neglected" songs if I want to hear them.

I remember blowing on the Super Nintendo cartridges. That same trick works for memory card slots on stuff like cameras when they inevitably get dusty after a while.

It pisses me off when cyclists insist on riding on the side of the road, even when the shoulder is like 6" wide, forcing traffic to swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid them, and if there is oncoming traffic, slow down to 15mph. Particularly when there's an empty sidewalk next to the road...noooo....they have to exercise their right to "share the road" and hold up traffic for half a mile because they flat out refuse to use the sidewalk.

While I don't like to stereotype, a "friend of a friend" I know is a big-time distance cyclist, and by damn if he isn't the snobbiest person I've ever met. He rides a bicycle that cost more than my Vmax($4500), feels the need to differentiate himself from "ordinary" people like me, who ride a bicycle to the store because it's only half a mile away, and wears way too revealing, way too tight spandex shorts ALL THE TIME. He frequently complains about how cars try to run him off the road....blah blah blah. I've seen him ride, and he doesn't even pull over. Rides smack in the middle on the lane on a 55mph road, going maybe 20 or however fast people like that can ride. I went by some lady doing that on my Vmax once...holding up at least 40 cars or so. I passed her with maybe 3" to spare on the side, with the holeshot pipes screaming at 8k RPM. I was hoping she would crash, but no.
 
I remember Super Mario Kart being a big favorite because it had 2-player split screen in that quasi-3D graphics. I remember being amazed when I first saw the 3D effect of stuff going by.

I was only more amazed when Zelda 64 came out in full, real 3D on the Nintendo 64.

Now if it's not in 1080p with 5.1 channel surround, it's a disappointment. Pretty graphics definetly help make the game overall more enjoyable, but it's still the core gameplay that makes or breaks a game.
