Sometimes I make friends on the internet. But mostly not.

Oh my god. Kenny Rogers….. the original Gameboy. Does he actually teach you how to play? Is there a Kenny Rogers game? Is it like that stupid game Rock Band only you press buttons and Kenny Rogers croons your panties off with his sweet, sweet melodies? I’ve got to stop or my brain will explode.
Don’t I wish!! Having your panties crooned off by Kenny Rogers would be akin to feeling the bearskin rug against your naked horizontal body, while the mellifluous sounds of John Tesh played softly in the background.
Or, at least that’s what I heard.
From your momma?
Have either of you seen Kenny lately??? Looks like a toad that’s been stretched and dried out in the sun… EWWWW
No, but now that you said that I have to go look him up.
It’s like if somebody told me that their neighbor smelled like a combination of rotting fish, feces and body odor, I’d have to knock on his door/break into his house, just so I could smell it for myself.
I can’t help it. It’s a disease.
oh god… kenny rogers thought me how to play a game boy. :D
Don’t worry. Kenny Rogers taught me to be the only kid in elementary school who knew all the words to “Islands In The Stream.”
Sail away with me to another world.
Where we can rely on each other, A-AH. From one lover to another, A-AH.
We need to get you some Ambien. I once gave a nickel to Kenny when we were at the Kroger checkout. He used to live here. I also stood next to Donna Summers in the chicken aisle, but I’m not sure how this relates so I will be quiet now.
Ha! Seriously, this comment is all kinds of awesome. If I stood next to Donna Summers in the chicken aisle I would bring it up all the time, regardless of the topic.
For years I still bragged about the time I went to a parade and ended up standing three feet away from Tori Spelling.
Turns out it was just an emaciated horse. But still, it’s not like my friends would know any different.
“You got to know when to hold ‘em,
know when to fold ‘em,
know when to marry a younger one and get bad plastic surgery,
and when to take a Wii…” — from The Gamebler
Ha! If I was the younger one I’d take more than just a Wii. I’d take the house, the jet and the hot Cuban gardener with the six-pack abs.
But only because I hate gardening.;)
This is the most bat-shit genius ad campaign I’ve ever seen. You should be very proud of the work you’ve done.
Thank-you, Leah!
Now all I need is to get Kenny Rogers and Nintendo on board, and I’ll be laughing all the way to…well, wherever that place is where brilliant marketing geniuses who only ever come up with one good idea in their lifetime go.:)
I bet gameboy wants to know where to send your briefcase full of cash….
I’ll probably go and pick it up myself, only because I’m in-between places right now. Literally. (I’m squatting between the first and second floor of an upscale apartment building.)
Where are these courses on how to play GameBoy right? Sign me up!
Consider yourself signed! I’m teaching a combined Life-Coaching/GameBoy playing course next month. Trust me when I say it’s hardcore.
I went to the same course last year and I almost failed the “Super (and Empowered!) Mario Brothers” unit. I guess I just never realized what a hard marker I was.
Thanks for making me remember my parents never bought me a Game Boy when I was little. Thanks…thanks a lot.
Sorry, Thoughts Appear. If it makes you feel any better, my parents never bought me the doll that you could feed liquid to and it would pee itself and get diaper rash.
Actually, I’m lying. They did buy it for me. But I wish they hadn’t. It’s because of that doll that the next year I asked for a tubal litigation.
The Gambler and a Game Boy! Yay! Now do ‘Ruby’ and a condom pack. That shit would go over with the elderly, my friend. I sense an untapped market.
Don’t you mean “tapped” market??
HAHAHAHAHAH…wait, what?
Does that mean the “know when to fold’em” line is referring to the DS??
Ohmahgawd, I think you just gave me my next ad idea!
If you could think of a Nintendo product that would work with the line about dying in your sleep, I’d be forever grateful.
Kenny-freakin-Rogers…!! You know Super Mario Brothers the first one, is where my gaming skills ended…I watched a friend get to the end of the second Super Mario Brothers… If Kenny would have been at the beginning telling us that the ending was just someone dreaming…I’m not so sure we would have sat all day trying to win the stupid thing! And now that I just aged myself, could someone please pass the bengay?
I totally did the same thing. I was OBSESSED with helping Mario and Luigi fight off the strange creatures lurking in the sewers of New York City.
Sadly, my dream of Mario Brothers world domination ended when I broke the joystick.
Definitely in the top ten! Kenny Rogers had some good songs–those were the days when country music was country music, and he was one of the last true country musicians. “The Gambler” I know by heart, and it really is applicable to life, in so many ways!
I loved the Gambler. My dad only had two tapes, Kenny Rogers and Statler Brothers. When I was in the first grade, I wanted to do a lip synch for show and tell to the Statler brothers song about smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
I remember that song, it’s darkly funny–It’s called “Counting Flowers on the Wall” I think!
Be honest B did you really make that up? If so it’s brilliant! If not, who gives a rats ass? HIlarious as always!! Btw I can’t stand Kenny Rogers. Is that wrong?
Do you know that song “Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In” from The Big Lebowski? That was Kenny Rogers singing.
If he would sing “I Never Should Have Played the Game, I Should’ve F*%§$ Old Whats-Her-Name,” then he would be cool. Otherwise, not.
I totally made it up! I looked online to see if anyone else had done the same thing, but couldn’t find anything. It’s like I finally feel like if I died tomorrow, I would feel as though I actually accomplished something in my life.
Don’t worry, Lynn. If hating Kenny is wrong, then you don’t wanna be right!
(?)
i just can’t help but think that TV would look better with Neil’s face in it.
oh wait…. speaking of NEIL
HA!! Oh, how I love you, Blunty. I promise, even if it kills me I will finish it. I just had to put it away for a couple of days. Like I said before, after spending two hours going through your ENTIRE BLOG, I became disheartened.
you should have insomnia more often. some genius shit happens.
I know, right? I’m actually thinking about having my eyelids surgically removed.
I’m just worried that it might make me look “weird”.
I still have an old green screen one I cant bear to get rid of though I have a n SP and DS. Ah my misspent youth. You gotta know how to run, Mario!
