That sucks. When we'd play, the person who was waiting their turn would pause the game while Mario or Luigi was in mid-air, then unpause it, causing him to lose momentum and fall down a hole. Then you could have died and not peed your pants. :( Aww. I’m sorry. That sucks.

Layered clothes, side pony tails with those big plastic ball elastic things... it's really no wonder I have never ever gone to another concert in my life.

Sigh. I remember having hair (on top of my head, I mean).

The scene is 1985...maybe '86...I don't know, I was only 4 or 5. I'm with my family at my cousins who live two states over, and they've got this new-fangled video game system called a "Nintendo". I immediately rocked at Super Mario Brothers, even at such a young age, and my sisters and cousins had to invent a funny song to distract me from dodging the flying fish on level 2-3. It went something like this, "They're gonna get ya, and eat ya, and chop off your little head! They're gonna murder you, and splurder you, and kill you till you're dead!" Yeah, I know, you want me to post the music too, but I'm afraid you're just going to have to be disappointed. We laughed so hard I peed my pants. No, really. I peed my pants because I didn't want to lose my turn by going to the bathroom. Being the genius that I was, I didn't tell anyone about it, because I'd lose my turn...but I got found out anyway, since it got all over the couch. Yay for little kids!
