Apparently one of the bars here is starting a ski-ball league.  I'm not sure exactly what that would entail (particularly because they only have one machine), but I kind of want to join.  I love ski-ball - not that I'm terribly good or anything.  It always makes me think of the Jersey Shore. 

glowwormtu got some sort of retro platform machine that will play old NES and SNES games. Neither of us had either of those platforms as children, so we're learning to play the games, what 10? 15? years after the fact. I got further in Super Mario Brothers today than I ever have before in my life. All the way to world 5. And all you that had parents who let you have video games can stop laughing now. No. really. Stop laughing.

This isn't by any means my favorite cult classic movie (which would probably be the show time musical version of Reefer Madness. No really, every move should feature a song with the lyrics "We'll play with whips, and nipple clips, and candle wax."), but rather a story about a cult classic (or possibly not so classic). The semester after my brother transferred universities he had to take some class that was either all about or at least featured a unit on gender rolls. As part of the unit, the professor required the class to watch Hegwig and the Angry Inch. So, as the class is going over the syllabus my brother raises his hand and asks what happens if you've already seen the movie.

His teacher gives him and incredulous look saying "You've already seen the movie?" To which my brother replies "Twice." They have a whole conversation about why he's seen the movie, and the professor compliments my taste in movies (so it is probably for the best that he didn't know that while I sought out the movie, I didn't like it so much when I watched it). The conversation ended with the professor saying something along the lines of "I've never had a student before who had ever heard of Hegwig, let alone seen it. I never thought the first one would be a football player."

Aw, that's my brother, breaking stereotypes at every turn.
