It's a fuckin' cup.

And aren't these drink containers like people, it's what's inside that counts?

To drink from the Stanley Cup it takes YEARS of practice!

There is NO frickin' way Canada will allow these to be sold branded as "Stanley Cups".  I've no doubt to sell these in Canada they'll have to call them something different...after all the REAL Stanley Cup (there's actually three) has been their Holy Grail for over 100 years!

Once upon a time, for over a hundred years, the Stanley Cup was not something you can buy with money.  You had to EARN it with many, manyYEARS of practice and teamwork!  I guess not anymore...

Anyone who hasn't got their kids rounding out a 100% complete save file on GTAV by the age of 6 isn't fit to be a parent IMO.

Did you not happen to see the M rating?

However, the absolute worst games on the system IMO are Elmo's Letter Adventure and Elmo's Number Journey. Now, I know what you're thinking, hold on, those are kid's games, of COURSE they suck.

No sir, kid's games can and should be given just as much care and effort into quality like any of the other gaming genres.  So absoultley NOT a valid excuse.

I'll not further elaborate other than to divulge that these questions and more are between me and Mrs. The Count.

Fun fact: By marriage Frida (from ABBA) became a Countess!  No foolin'!

The Louisville Bobcat is named Count?

Who is this Loserville Bobcat you speak of?  Sounds like some sort of minor league pickleball team or something...

No. Explain it to us in detail.

And do you know why this blue guy is called the mailman?  Come to think of it I think there was a basketball player called the Mailman...

Are we talking @Estil?  Pretty sure its the Louisville Bobcats.

No, I'm saying that to @The Count  You do know why they call him The Count right?

I recall flying through rings? I suppose I should give it another try.

Don't forget to count the rings!

Never played, never will. Not even for the laffs.

Not even for the Laff-A-Lympics?  

I'd rather have a Harmony cartridge and an AV modded Light Sixer.  If I ever get around to getting them.

I wonder if there's any reason why cats, man's REAL best friend, are so popular among gamers?  Even AVGN has at least one!

I imagine Estil has both Anubis II and Ninjabread Man, not to mention all the fucking DS horse games.  

I meant they can't possibly be as trash as Zack Morris.

You have over 6,000 games if I recall correctly, do you actually think you will get to play them all? Not a chance and the same applies for the trash on DS and Wii. When you have reached the stage you decide to full set collect for multiple systems your goals are different along with the expectations that every game you’ll have a chance to play. Set collecting is for fun like anything else. Sometimes the beauty is assembling the trash nobody else wants.

Games on the DS and Wii are not trash.  Zack Morris is trash.  NO FEAR.

It's the Jacob Marley stand-in in Scrooged.

Like I said he looks just like a zombie version of Don Mattingly!

Who? Mike Jones

 

Oh this reminds me of something funny I heard on the radio!  The DJ had just played Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" and he said "I'm Mike Jones, mercifully not name Sue!!  Mike Jones bad enough!"

Only three plays?  At least now we know who Glass Joe's one win was against.

You know how Rocky said in the sixth movie it's not about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward?  Well Glass Joe lost 99 out of 100 and here he is still moving forward and coming back!  I mean can you imagine any real boxer would actually continue fighting after 99 losses out of 100 and getting about the worst nickname possible for a boxer?

I do full sets (and sometimes master sets!) of baseball cards; for example I got a sequence of Topps baseball sets from 1974-2013 and Topps football sets from 1980-2000, Donruss from 1981-98, Fleer from 1981-95 among many many others...does that count?

@The CountSo I take it you'd want to count all my sets or even better, all 100K+ of my cards?   I don't think Sesame Street (at least classic/20th century/pre-Elmo era) very seldom if ever went past 40 (and they never had numbers "brought to you today..." over 20)...I guess they thought teaching very young kids up to 100 was asking too much or something?

My Santa was truly secret and did not reveal themselves.  THANK YOU for the GBC Bionic Commando from my list and the GBA Kirby (error label?) surprise!  Just getting back into Game Boy after a rather looooong hiatus and super excited to play new things.

Oh no...dude that Kirby game is a fake (the label is horribly printed and looks nothing like the real one)!  I'm sure your SS didn't do it on purpose of course but in any event your SS had better get his money back!!

Here's an example of what a real one looks like:

Unfortunately I'm gonna be tapped out for quite some time (I sadly don't get to splurge very much on account of only getting SSDI  ) so obviously you all know what they say about slow and steady and all that right?  Well several months back I got into stamp collecting (don't laugh) and so far I got all the US ones from the 70s/80s so I'm hoping to add as many years into the 90s (and 60s/50s/40s are surprisingly affordable) as I can.  I also would love to get the last few American silver eagles I need to finish my set (1986, 1995-98) so yeah right now my focus is on my stamp collection rather than video games (sorry).  Yeah go ahead and let me have it...

This might blow your mind, Estil... but a vast majority of people don't actually collect baseball cards. And, get this, a majority of people have probably never seen one either.

Vinyl records, even being sort of a niche thing today, exist in much more people's house 

Well surely most have at least heard of baseball cards and rookie cards?  I guess the (early 90s) really are over!

PS: @Tulpa If I am indeed the only/resident baseball card collector (I have over 100,000 in my collection as complete sets; no fooling) feel free to be like Tim here and nickname me "Honus"
