The Gold Hammer

with 2 comments

I remember I was hammering on a fence in the backyard when my dad approached me. He was carrying a letter or something in his hand, and he looked worried. I continued to hammer as he came toward me. “Son,” he said, “why are you hammering on that fence? It already has plenty of nails in it.” “Oh, I’m not using nails,” I replied. “I’m just hammering.” With that, I returned to my hammering. Dad asked me to stop hammering, as he had some news. I did stop hammering, but first I got a couple more hammers in, and this seemed to make Dad mad. “I said, stop hammering!” he yelled. I think he felt bad for yelling at me, especially since it looked like he had bad news. “Look,” he said, “you can hammer later, but first–” Well, I didn’t even wait to hear the rest. As soon as I heard “You can hammer,” that’s what I started doing. Hammering away, happy as an old hammer hog. Dad tried to physically stop me from hammering by inserting a small log of some sort between my hammer and the fence. But I just kept on hammering, ’cause that’s the way I am when I get that hammer going. Then, he just grabbed my arm and and made me stop. “I’m afraid I have some news for you,” he said. I swear, what I did next was not hammering. I was just letting the hammer swing lazily at arm’s length, and maybe it tapped the fence once or twice, but that’s all. That apparently didn’t make any difference whatsoever to Dad, because he just grabbed my hammer out of my hand and flung it across the field. And when I saw my hammer flying helplessly through the air like that I just couldn’t take it. I burst out crying, I admit it. And I ran to the house, as fast as my legs could take me. “Son, come back!” yelled Dad. “What about your hammer?!” But I could not have cared less about hammering at that point. I ran into the house and flung myself onto my bed, pounding the bed with my fists. I pounded and pounded, until finally, behind me, I heard a voice. “As long as you’re pounding, why not use this?” I turned, and it was Dad, holding a brand-new solid-gold hammer. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes and ran to Dad’s outstretched arms. But suddenly, he jumped out of the way, and I went sailing through the second-story window behind him. Whenever I hear about a kid getting in trouble with the drugs, I like to tell them this story.

Battletoads

with 7 comments

Have you ever wondered what happens when a online meme goes photoshop, then enters real life? Hilarity is what happens.

Take this totally fake ad for a “Battletoads” game.

Well, apparently on the 12th, 13th and 14th of November (and still carrying on), someone online got organized and decided to call Wal-Mart and Gamestop and ask if they had Battletoads in stock, or available for preorder, or would be getting them in, etc. More then 40 stores were targeted, some stores recived calls all day. It was great epic win. At first, some stores were friendly and explained that they don’t have it. After a few hours they got really pissed. Some employees called Anon very bad things, things you can’t say on Faux News. Other employees thought this was funny, and joked about BattleToads.

According to GameStop employees:

  • Battletoads is the new Horde race in World Of Warcraft.
  • If you beat Halo 3, 900 times you unlock BattleToads, Anon corrected the employee. The correct answer is Over nine thousand.
  • The Sims 2 expansion pack “Cast Away” contains both BattleToads and Mudkipz
  • The Battletoads game cost as much as your mom
  • You must get 1,000,000 points on Rock Band to unlock BattleToads
  • Battletoads is coming out next October
  • Battletoads is only available in Orange box edition, not Green Box edition
