If you use 206-882-2040 or 800-422-2602 as passwords in MTPO, you get a busy signal sound! (Both were numbers for Nintendo at the time, and I don't think either one goes there anymore…)

To burst a bubble, so does everyone else (in the US). It was never removed from US carts, despite many legends to the contrary. One of the game magazines of the day published a blurb stating that the game was being withdrawn and re-released without it, which is probably the source of the rumor, but for whatever…

Now wait a minute, y'all.
This spam ain't for everybody. Only the sexy people.
So all you stride mothers…
Get on out there and dance.
DANCE, I SAID.

I have a white AMG one and I don't even HAVE a job! Thanks, Obama!

Eh, when all else fails they still sell those "cassette adapter" things that were intended for hooking up portable CD players, but will work on anything with a headphone jack. Plus lots, if not all, aftermarket CD players will play CDRs with MP3s. You can usually fit around 200 files on a disc and it's a pain to try…

There's still one that gets rebranded by a million different manufacturers (I've seen it sold under the TEAC name, the Sony name, the Audio-Technica name, etc etc) that costs about $70 and isn't a bad little table. It's non-adjustable, belt-driven and plasticky, but uses a decent AT moving-magnet cartridge that won't…

MTV actually does have a few video-only subchannels like "MTV Hits" and "MTV Jams," but I don't think they're all that widely carried. I get them on my cable, but didn't when I had DirecTV.

I heard that chick's ass has its own congressman!

Do you know what the difference between the GLH and the GLH-S was? I was never entirely sure, though I assume the S must have had the handling/suspension/other upgrades that the CSX Daytonas and Shadows did. Of course, the Charger was essentially an Omni offspring itself, so I imagine your GLH probably handled like…

Just tuned in and surprised/disappointed to see they've cropped the episodes to 16x9. It looks like perhaps they've been given an HD restoration (or it's just a really nice upscaling job), but man, they really don't look right this way. I'm just waiting for some important gag to get cut off by virtue of being…

I think the Shelby cars existed in various forms from '83 to '88. Some of them were essentially just sticker packages and a turbo (like that Charger I had), but things like the Daytona CS and Omni GLH-S were 'true' Shelby cars with handling upgrades too. They're also really hard to find now since they were made in…

As someone who owned a Shelby Daytona and Charger, they are indeed quite souped up. The Charger in particular was too souped-up for its own good, because they put in the ridiculously-quickly-accelerating turbo engine, but didn't bother to change any of the standard K-car suspension. The Daytonas were given a…

Probably "Mario Is Missing" or "Mario's Time Machine," both of which made it to NES and SNES eventually, but I think both started life as PC games.

I'll admit to it, but not really 'til years later in syndication. It's not that bad.

Apparently still performing. Looks like he put out an album in 2008, but withdrew it after six months, and has a new one planned for this year.

It's a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song, dammit. One of their nittiest!

DirecTV blocked it and other such channels from Roku for ages, and the official company position was that devices such as Roku were considered "competition." Now how that makes sense when they did allow XBOX, iPad, etc. users to access it and that you still need a DirecTV account to get a password, you figure out……

Thing is, I can't really believe him when he says that. Take a look at something like his 1978 solo album. Fans expected it to be 45 minutes of heavy "demon" rock songs that fit his image. Instead it's 45 minutes of Beatle-esque pop and a sincere cover of "When You Wish Upon a Star." If it was always about the…

It's still a shame to me how Hank Jr. turned out. He always had political songs on his albums, but he used to take a pretty liberal stance on some issues and seemed willing to call out both parties equally. Plus, politics aside, his first few albums are all pretty damn solid. Then he just fell into self-parody and…

Milwaukees Best becomes amazingly drinkable if you get the Ice version - plus it's 5.9%, so more bang for your buck! I drink the Ice all the time, but can't stand the regular MB or MB Light.
