Raph is like the all around shittiest, worst attitude, worst weapons, etc.

Leo is the leader, Don is the smart/mature one, Mike is the carefree one, and Raph is the short tempered, sarcastic one with a shitty attitude and wimpy little short range daggers.

Also I dunno on GBA but we know so many people that are wildly deep into GBA variants and set collecting that it has to happen eventually. I don’t even know how we begin to tackle it.

excuse me...but he's not short tempered, sarcastic, shitty attitude, or wimpy....

He's the cool but rude guy, and HE IS THE BEST.

I didn't even realize you had SE! Nice pick up on Athletic World. That one remains quite a challenge to snag.

Had it for what feels like two and a half years now actually!

I post it from time to time on my IG, but I try not to flash it unnecessarily. Emphasis on try...it's hard not to whip it out once in a while!

P.S. As a stakeholder in the SE marketplace. I declare that it is not required for a licensed US set. SMB / DH / WCTM, or simply WCTM are suitable variant releases.

This also extends to Family Fun Fitness: Athletic World. You don't need the rare variant, you only need the more common No-FFF branding variant.

Just picked up FFF: Athletic World! Now all I need is a nice enough condition FFF Pad to call this mini set truly complete. (Though, I would like something that @acidjaguar has too...oh, and maybe one of those homebrew FFF: Dance Aerobics)

With all this above, how do we explain the foil sleeve and the sticker residue on it?

Honestly? I'm still scratching my head over this title all together now. Because man...more of these need to be opened now.

But it's not American, or is the Library of Congress putting anything on the whole planet that is 'worthy' in their registry?

My Great-Great Grandmothers jewelry and dress aren't American made either, but they're somewhere in the archives in Washington too.

They're authentic Romani clothes and bead jewelry made in Russia around the turn of the century 1900s.

You probably have a better palate than me (you too @ThePhleo ) because after a glass or two , all reds taste the same lol

No, you're right.

After a while they all do just taste like bitter grape juice to me too.

My wife and I will sometimes make a good charcuterie board, and just pair it with a nice sweet wine, or even just make a sangria when we want something to pretend we're fancy.

The cartridge is manufactured by Sunsoft. The box code is in the opening post.

Wow...this upends literally every theory I have about this game.

OK.

NES-48-USA box without an H-Seam, and includes the Sunsoft manufactured cartridge? WTF...so, it must be the other way around?

Crazy that Nintendo would mess up and use NES-P48-USA and not Sunsoft.

This is really good data. Thanks Trifecta

Opened a VGA graded Batman Return of the Joker and have added it to the list. Surprising, it had a foil Nintendo brand dust sleeve.

 

 

 

Can you confirm if this is a NES-P48-USA box or a NES-48-USA box?

Also, is the cartridge manufactured by Sunsoft, or Nintendo?

I have a theory that the rarer H-Seam copies are the NES-48-USA boxes manufactured by Nintendo, and the more "common" NES-P48-USA copies are the ones manufactured by Sunsoft.

Here's confirmation from@ThePhleo that Trojan existed in a hangtab game pak.

Wine tasting in Sonoma, CA. The “other” wine country, not too far from Napa. 74° and amazing. @ThePhleo is a wine guy, any others?

I wouldn't say I'm a sophisticated wine guy. I'm more entry level, and just ask wherever I'm at what's the nicer stuff when I have some wine. Jealous of the setting and spread though!

I'm more of a Whiskey or Scotch blend enthusiast, and also for reference, I rarely drink for fun. I drink for tasting.

Interesting fact that I just recently learned.  John Tyler, the United States 10 president, who served from 1841 through 1845 has a grandson who is still alive today.  Yes, a grandson.  NOT a great grandson.  President Tyler had a lot of kids.  I believe more than any other president.  One of the kids was born while Tyler was in his 60s.  That kid eventually had several children including 2 in his 70s.  Those two kids were both alive as recently as 2020 although now only one of them is living.  

Can anyone imagine having a newborn while in their 70s?

My oldest cousin is older than my youngest uncle.

My youngest cousin is younger than my oldest nephew.

Wasn't it was tax fraud that did in Al Capone?

Either way though, I don't expect the charges to stick. The mans nickname is literally Teflon Don.

We might be aligned then. I guess im a social liberal/ financial conservative with a libertarian streak when it comes to healthcare or 2nd amendment. But todays republican party is no-where near what I would like so Im an independent whose normally votes progressive I guess. All nonsense

Yeah, the party is definitely not some I associate with anymore. I refuse to call myself Conservative, GOP, or even Libertarian.

Oh, well it's self proclaimed then! Hah.

(For the record, I'm moderate with a slight right bias....smoke gay marijuana at the church shooting range....I don't care, just leave me alone)

Also...Thank God.

As the VGS rightoid freak, it brings me great pleasure to say that Trump is a shitstain on American history.

Not even remotely true, but its your opinion. I say Prove it, if you want to discuss further. 
 

Racism= exclusion

affirmative action= inclusion

Loreen, an asian female has a 3.8 GPA.

Daniel, a white male has a 3.6 GPA.

Max, a hispanic male has a 3.4 GPA.

Andrew, a black female has a 3.2 GPA.

There is only room for one more student in this college. Loreen, Daniel, and Max are disqualified solely off the color of their skin and not of the content of their character, when Loreen is most qualified.

...or to put it in another way.

Joe Biden recently nominated, and made Ketanji Brown Jackson a supreme court justice. He went on record saying "The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity, and that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court"

Meaning, even if someone is even more extraordinarily qualified, with better character, more experience, and more integrity, but happened to be ANYTHING ELSE than black, then they would not have been considered by the President of the United States to be nominated as a Supreme Court Justice, solely because they were not black.

Affirmative Action, is inherently racist because it requires you to look at WHAT a person is, before you even begin to consider WHO that person is.

At least stunts like this get people talking about systemic racism, on the upside. 

...like affirmative action, the only law that I know of that is truly systemic in its blatant racism.

Can you feed me?

Absolutely.

Whats your preference. No joke, if you really want something yummy and we ever meet up I will go out of my way to bring you somewhere nice.

Good friends, food, music, and wine is my favorite thing

@MrWunderful also, I’m sorry I’m not trying to be over the top. I really do love steak, I’m an enthusiast.

I love feeding people at my house and if you and I ever cross paths I’d be more than happy to feed you too. I’ll even respect your diet of your choice.

I went out of my way for example and got a vegetarian friend a fresh pan just so I don’t cook meat with their food I prepped for them. If I had access to rabbi or imam, I’d even have one bless my kitchen to make it kosher for a Jewish friend, or Halal for an Islamic one.

Food is my favorite hobby, even moreso than Nintendo tapes.

Also...for reference....

Id legit eat a cricket steak if it was healthier, tasted good, was sustainable and environmentally friendly  and millions of cattle didnt have to live in squalid conditions until they are slaughtered each year, wouldn’t you? What if it had 3x the protein, less cholesterol, more fiber and was a third of the price?  

Dont worry though,  the puppet master elites still need capitalism to exist so  we could have cricket steak action figures, games and cartoons. And argue about them on the internet.

 Then real beef could be a special niche delicacy made with care from real, healthy, generically diverse well cared for cattle, similar to small family farms and we could collapse the slaughterho use industrial complex

Not sure but That sounds pretty good to me

Yeah...I don't eat steak for the protein, cholesterol, fiber or anything beyond HOLY SHIT, STEAK IS AMAZING.

IMO, a reverse seared dry aged bone-in Ribeye Steak is God's way of saying "You don't need sex to reach eurphoria. In fact, this might be a little better"

But sure, if you can make crickets approach that high bar, I'd consider trying it. But, I don't live in a third world nation during a drought after a bad years harvest, so I don't need or want to eat bugs at any time.

Here's just half of this year's steaks I've had so far...I didn't take a photo of the others.

See, I hate this woman because she makes my rational conspiracy theories sound like mindless babbling, which is why...  (CONSPIRACY) she's a gubmint' plant. (/CONSPIRACY)

They really DO want to know your bowel movements, and want you to eat fake meat or crickets. It's literally the WEF public goals to know all this information and reshape the world for the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" and they publicly list this stuff on their website...also it's not like the WEF is some small forum, it's literally people like presidents around the world, CEO's, and celebrities...
