Here's the worst mascot in college sports.... 

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0217/pg2_a_stanford_tree_b1_200.jpg

There's a fantastic NCAA golf commercial on the Golf Channel I believe.  It has the Oregon Duck lining up a chip shot in the fairway and the Stanford mascot sneaks into the middle of the fairway completely blocking the line to the hole.  I don't do it justice, but I was very amused.

 

Believe me, we had our share of fights over who gets to be Mario, and who gets to be Donkey Kong... Good times. 

Sounds familiar.  We also always fought about who would be the 49er's in NES Football and the Twins in RBI Baseball.  

 

Haha I love that gif! Where's it from?

Blink-182 music video isn't it?  Don't remember which one though.

 

Heh, pong. And tanks. We had an Atari system, too.

Tanks!  Don't recall the game, but we had one where we were cowboys shooting through a cactus.  That was another good one.  Literally duel (digitally) for control of the console.

 

San Francisco Vegetarians' mascot?

Seriously, when I said San Francicso Vegetarian's mascot,  I had no idea it was Stanford's mascot.  Funny since Stanford is like a 40 minute drive to San Fran.

I'm trying to find that commercial, and saw this one. Another amusing Stanford tree commercial.

This game thread is going to have more posts in it before the game even starts than the game thread had total after the game was over yesterday :-) 

The last time I was naked… wearing only a pointy collar, I was asked to leave church immediately and the entire congregation assumed that I was into some weird stuff.

 

 

I really wanted to edit this and put some pants on you but then just really didn't want to go there.

Tanks was fun.  You'd maneuver around what looked like walls and fire shots at each other.  Moving at a nice sloooow pace

I tried to find it after I saw it but wasn't able to find it.  It's possible it was new at that point and not online yet.  Shoot me a link if you do find it.  It was brilliant.

I'm not sure, but if you would have seen me in my college days..... I'd look fairly close to that gif. Minus the earring. Wish I still had the long flowing locks! 

 

FTFY.

I beg to differ.

I remember Tanks well.  we'd play my dad and he'd kick our butts all of the time.

I wish that I still had enough hair to have locks at all...

 

Not sure what my favorite would be, but I think most of us can get behind my least favorite...Norm Green.

Booo......

There are people who work in my building, along with a few others, that have full on mullets.  They literally never left the 80s.  It's awesome, yet disturbing at the same time.

Lenny Green was the first autograph I got as a kid when he came to town with the Twins Caravan?, not sure what it was called back then, the first year the Twins were in the TC. 

He really wasn't green so does he still count?

I haven't needed a comb or brush for over 10 years.  Last time I needed one was to run it through my flat top so the hair would stand up.  Had the flat top for a few years until I just decided to shave my head.  Been doing that ever since.

 

Blink 182 First Date video. It is hilarious.,

That video is hilarious.  Most of theirs were pretty good in their hey-day.

Breakout, now there was a game!

 

But my all time favourite was Dig Dug.....

Nature is slowly shaving my head.  I have no use for a comb or brush either.  Finger combing is about all that is required.

I spent hours playing Breakout and Super Breakout before Tetris came along.  I think that I was literally addicted to Tetris.

 

Just saying the word makes me want to go dig the NES out of the closet and hook it up.

Ditto, there's probably a support group somewhere.
