The Clog: The rants and moans of your 21st century weirdo

I have a love of retro stuff. I love listening to old albums (though i don't have a turntable) , dressing in plaid (cause it never goes out of style), heck, i even own a Bowler (for your modern day 18th century man).

A while ago i found my old N64 and was surprised to see it still worked. Nobody could get me off the couch for 3 weeks after that....VIVA MARIO KART...and the various other games I have.

It's not that i don't like all this new high tech witchcraft....i just kinda like old systems. I still play my Xbox 360 and PS2, so there's no reason to worry about me.

Earlier today i found the old SNES....You can imagine how amazed i was to find the system that I practically grew up with. There were only 2 problems
1/ It has the old 1 pin hookup...you know, the one that goes into the cable hookup.
This shouldn't be too much of a problem because i can pick up an adaptor almost anywhere.

2/ My fan(s) of an older era may remember that the Super Nintendo used a 10V adaptor. This may be a problem, unless i can find a 10V adaptor lying around the place. If i can, that would be sweet, as I have an itchin' to play Earthworm Jim 2 and Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Super Mario World can kiss my Non-Existant ass(don't ask)

So, that's my minor annoyance of the day.


Other things:

Remember that movie 'The Avengers'...you know...the one where Sean Connery can control the weather...Well, a friend told me of the movie earlier today and wondered what the world would be like if Sean Connery could actually control the weather.

Here's how i think the news report would go:
Reporter: We received information that Sean Connery can control the weather, and we are currently on the scene. Mr.Connery, do you have any demands for the people of the planet?

SC: Yesh, I do. I want the worlds shupply of scotch and ice. Alsho, i want any bond girl you can find. Deliver theshe to me and i will shpare your livesh. (of course, the Sean Connery impression doesn't go over so well when it's typed)

Random video i like of the day

That's all there is to it, folks.
You read it, you can't un-read it.

The Clog: GO HABS!

I'm a Montreal fan, so you'd think i'd be absolutely devastated by the 3-1 series against Pittsburgh yesterday...well i'm not.

They still have a few games left. If they can pick it up for saturday's game, then all will be right, but if they don't they're screwed.

Let's hope they play Carey Price this time

Dont't make me get rid of my playoff beard

GO HABS
