Today I actually used the phrase 'I blew that baby like an 8-bit Nintendo'.

And it didn't even dawn on me until just now that it was kinda dirty :) Heh, and for those of you who aren't as old as I am, you might not understand why you'd ever need to blow a video game console, but I promise you, it's not dirty.

Now I can't understand for the life of me why that isn't an actual expression, in a naughty context.

You know... "Sam blew Dean like an 8-bit Nintendo"...

Come on, people. You know you want to start saying it. Heh, you could say it right before or after you say "Sam sucks like Jensen Ackles" (blame

dodger_sister for that one. I think.).

Sam, after sucking like Jensen Ackles at beer pong, blew Dean like an 8-bit Nintendo...

Yeah, okay. Maybe not :P

I dunno, I found it pretty effin' funny, and I've never even played Nintendo. (Probably older than you.)

Ah, the good old days, when blowing in your video game magically made it work...

I understand your reference! I had a Nintendo and frequently had to blow the game cartridges to get them working.

I love your humor though!

I know! It was like, 'Huh, it's not loading. Just blow in it. Still not working? BLOW HARDER!'

:)

Been blowing on those things since I was 5-years-old. I think I spent most of my childhood making those damn things work!

I know, right? And then sometimes the blowing alone wouldn't work so you had to like, jam an extra game cartridge in there on top of the one you were playing just to get it to load up...

Good times, good times :)

My 8-bit finally kicked it about 7 years ago, after about 15 years. I was so sad that I went out and bought all the old school games for the gameboy advance so I can play them on the gamecube with the gameboy player.

FYI? It sucks. The controls are terrible.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I play Gamecube, and it's fine. My Super Nintendo 64 still works by some weird miracle. xD I need some more games for it, now that I think about it...hahaha.

[link] [parent] [reply]

No, I didn't mean the Gamecube sucks. If you hook up the gameboy player to the gamecube though, you know that thing you can screw onto the bottom so that you can play gameboy games on your gamecube? the gamecube controller doesn't translate very well into the actions on the older games.

Oh, my N64 still works too! Mario Kart on that thing is still pretty much the best thing ever. Oh and Super Mario Sunshine!

I now wanna play Super Mario Sunshine.

I've got no idea what you're talking 'bout (tough I'm old) but it sounds very pretty. In a nerdy way. I like it.

Ha! I miss the days when you had to blow your games to get them to load up. It really forges a bond, you know?

[link] [parent] [reply]

giggles snorts. It's been awhile since I've said this but you are all kinds of Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so going to be thinking about this all day at work now. My poor mind will be in the gutter and probably won't get out of it today. LOL

Well next time don't wait so long to tell me how awesome I am!

Heh, but doesn't it just roll right off the tongue? It really should be a popular turn of phrase :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Okay, now, while I do understand the Nintendo reference and may have blown one or two in my time (heh, heh), I still feel the need to point out that even your dirty jokes are geeky.

Geek.

Just one or two? ;)

[link] [parent] [reply]

I now feel the need to explain to my kids about the old school ways. LOL! Why did that even work?? But maybe...not in your exact words. ^_~

I doubt they'd understand anyway when all it takes to play video games now is a tiny touch screen you keep in your pocket.

And I have no idea what 'sucking like Jensen Ackles' entails but it sure sounds like fun.

(You may be pleased to know (or maybe the complete opposite) that my 5-yr old daughter informed me yesterday that she pretends to be Princess Peach and her bud plays Mario during recess. I didn't even know she knew who these characters were.)

I know, right? 'Fuckin' grey screen of death, with the flickers and the black and bright scrolling lines... Just blow in it!' 'OMG yes! I love technology!'

Heh, and remember how sometimes even that didn't work and you had to jam another cartridge in on top of the one you were playing so that it would catch right?

So first it wanted blowing and then it wanted ramming. Wow, no wonder I had such a hard time when my 8-bit finally crapped out after 15 years. We were close.

But yes, children should be educated in the ways of the oldschool gamer. My daughter (5 as well!) is hooked on little big planet, but I make her play Mario on the gameboy every now and then, because I feel like she needs to get in touch with her roots :)

It's incredibly encouraging that your daughter knows who Peach and Mario are! But yeah, how could she possibly have exposure to that if not through you? Maybe there's hope for the next generation after all!

[link] [parent] [reply]

Holy crap! I'm LMAO, remembering ramming that bitch.

I remember we used to wad up some paper and shove it in the front, too.

Yeah, harder. Shove it in there, as deep as it'll go! ((<--and holy crap, this is the second time in as many weeks I'm geek-sex talking on someone's lj. Last time it was sexy-cloning.)) ^_^;;

Oh, man.

...now I feel old. :P

Haha! I know! If you blew it hard enough and rammed it hard enough, you could make it your bitch ;). Heh, I used to have one of those top-loading VCRs (remember those?) and I had to do the same thing - stick some carboard in the side to get the tapes in properly.

Oh, and remember when you could fix a television that skipped just by smacking the side of it? I miss that shit.

I got my daughter one of those read-along books that come with the tapes to listen to - a second hand one with an actual cassette tape and not a CD - and picks up the tape, looks at it funny and goes 'what's this?'.

Yup, I'm feeling pretty old too :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

So if you weren't saying it in a dirty context to begin with what context were you using?

If you can believe it, my PS3 started skipping. At first I thought it was just the disk - it was my daughter's and she can sometimes be less than careful about scrathes and stuff - but we tried a few disks and it still kept skipping.

So I took the latest disk out, checked the back and it looked fine and then I shrugged and blew into the system. Old habits die hard, I guess :)

Anyway, my husband later asked if it was working again so I told him 'Yeah. I blew that baby like an 8-bit Nintendo and it's working fine.'

[link] [parent] [reply]

lol! what did he say?

[link] [parent] [reply]

He just nodded like it made perfect sense :)

*giggles*

I heart you. :D

*hugses*

[link] [parent] [reply]

hahaha, yep, that was me. Because I am so very bad at my video games that I do, in fact, suck like Jensen Ackles. Also, apparently, I read too many oral!kink fics if there is such a thing as too many oral!kink fics.

My brother always told me you blow on it to clean the dust out - which does make it dirty, bb, literally. ;)

I still have an original Nintendo. I had our old one and we had to shove a paperclip or a toothpick in on top of the cartridge to get it to work. Eventually it quit completely. I got rid of all my games and everything. I still had the original Sega. Then that quit. I was sad. I stole my sister's plug in tv Pacman but I guess she wanted it back because the next thing I knew, there was a rebuilt original Nintendo in my room.

Don't ask me where she got it. Now I have to restock my games.

I tried playing the Mario Bros with my 5yr old nephew but he has a Wii and he keeps yelling at me that he wants Mario to turn into a penguin (which apparently he can do on the new game). lol

For my birthday last week, I got the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game for the Nintendo. It's hard - I'm sucking it like Jensen...yeah you get the point. I love how this post is both perverted and so very geeky. :)

A paperclip, eh? That's pretty tame.

My 8-bit liked to be DP'd. I had to stuff a whole other cartridge in there to get it to work properly sometimes.

I had it for a good 15 years and it finally crapped out on me for good during my last year of grad school. We used to have contests after a night out at the pub, as to who could finish Mario the quickest.

And honestly, I never managed to beat Ninja Turtles. Or Zelda. Or Mario 3. I suck like Jensen Ackles even worse than you do, I'm sure :)

And no, no there's no such thing as too much oral kink.

Dude. What you do with your Nintendo is nobody's business. heehee

I never beat Turtles either. (Or Zelda - though I ruled at Klax and Punchout). Turtles was my little bro's game more than mine, and I am doing quite poorly thus far. He's gonna try to help me play next time he comes in.

I suck like Jensen Ackles even worse than you do, I'm sure :)

Someday we'll have to face-off to see who sucks harder. More. Whatever.

;)
