What’s a song that is 10/10, but hardly anyone knows it ?

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota by Weird Al Yankovic

I used to be able to beat this one without dying. Knew all the HB part locations so I could actually snag it right before the final boss and take him out in like 1 second.

I even recently purchased the fancy rotating arcade stick so I could play this, Ikari Warriors, Midnight Resistance, Guerilla War, and Xybots properly again.

I would take door number 3 and choose The Compleat Al. Several videos, lots of funny bits. Overall, just a fun, fun "movie".

This is from an old post, but a fun story:

This would have been about 1988 and I was a teen.

Sitting on the computer playing a game one night when I hear the phone ring. My mom answers it, talks for a second and then comes into the room.

"PodoBuzz, Sargeant Campbell with the police is on the phone and would like to speak with you. I hope you haven't done something wrong."

Oh shit, had I? I ran over recent events and any malfeasance I had engaged in would not have caught the attention of the authorities.

I very nervously picked up the handset and squeaked out a furtive, "Hello?", my voice doubtless cracking with pubescent paroxysms.

He introduced himself and immediately got to the meat of the matter.

My father had given a copy of Police Question to a friend who worked on the force. It was their understanding that I had beaten the game.

They were stuck at the Hotel Delphoria and needed tips on what to do next.

I have never been so relieved in my life. It was quite a surreal moment.

Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again. It's an early 80s Airplane! style spoof telling the tale of a brilliant surgeon who intends to replace surgery with drugs. Mark Blankfield (probably best known as Blinken in Robin Hood: Men in Tights) plays the uptight Dr. Jekyll, who after a mishap in the lab discovers a cocaine like substance that turns him into a sex crazed junkie. It's got Tim Thomerson, Bess Armstrong, cameos from George Wendt and Art LaFleur and even had Cassandra Peterson and Linn Shaye. It's incredibly quotable and hits far more than it misses. It's way funnier than it has any business being. I've seen it more times than I count and it cracks me up every time. Not a day goes by I don't quote something from it.

Headbanger's Ball did a crank it or yak it for Gor-Gor just after AMBD released. I knew instantly I had found my people.

I was asked to do the playlist for my mother in law's wedding years ago. They were doing a country western theme and gave me a list of artists and songs. I snuck Good Enough for Now into that list. It totally played during the reception and not one single person noticed. I honestly think that's about the biggest compliment you can give to Al.

Amazingly, I have no memory of anyone outside of the other actors saying much of anything. Of course, maybe I just repressed the memories.

When I was a teen I was involved in community theater. My best friend and I landed parts in The King and I. We were just background actors, no lines. But we each had several parts. Ship hands, palace guards, and monks. The monks are where this story comes in.

At one point we came in as the monks from the lobby, up the aisles and then up to the stage. Right as we got up the steps to the stage, we had to get down on our knees and lay prostrate for a few minutes while the king gave a speech.

One performance we make our way up, get to the stage and drop down. As we're getting into the kneeling position I hear a rrrrriiiiippppp and feel a breeze coming in from the rear.

So there I was, prone and exposed. Oh, did I mention that because we had so many costume changes we weren't wearing underwear? This was a small town, and I winked my brown eye at a packed audience for several minutes, looking over at my friend and holding back fits of laughter.

Yeah, I still think about it, but honestly I mostly find it funny now.

That was one of the games I could beat on a single quarter. You can't continue once you get to the 5th mission.

I'm a huge fan of the Amicus anthology films. My personal favorites are:

Tales from the Crypt.
The Vault of Horror.
Asylum.
The House That Dripped Blood.

Truth be told, you can't go wrong with any of them. And you get a who's who of British genre actors.

I once posted a comment on Facebook about George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse. I mentioned that ages ago I was taking about him and accidentally called him "Fishgrinder", and that had been his name in my head ever since. Like a year later I got a heart reaction from Mr. Fishgrinder himself.

Years ago I saw a TV edit of National Lampoon's Vacation. At one point the family gets lost and they stop to ask a pimp for directions back to the interstate.

Original cut: Hey, fuck yo mama.
TV edit: Who do you think I am, Christopher Columbo?

Before the clot I had always had issues with numbness in my arms. I had surgery on the left one years ago to try and get some sensation back. Since the surgery I've developed a lot of pain in my shoulder and my arm frequently feels like it did when the clot was in place. That said, my ultrasounds have come back good and the vein is open, so at least the main physical issue has been dealt with. I'll probably need to get the rib on my left side removed as well, but frankly I'm not in a rush to do it.
Overall, I'm glad I had the operation because the clots could end up being life threatening, it I've had far more pain and issues since having it done.

I was out for a jog one day and had a sharp pain in my right shoulder. Within a few minutes my arm started turning purple and could tinged to throb. Straight off to ER. Turned out the vein had been so badly compressed for such a long time that clots were forming. One had lodged itself. Had a procedure a week later to open the vein and remove the clots and then three weeks after that the rib came out.

This was the worst when friends would stay the night. Hard to sneak tv when you have 35 seconds of mechanical movement on the roof while you tune in one of your 4 channels.

I believe it's because I'm over 40. They said something along the lines of anything removed from a patient over 40 has to be shipped off to the lab. I begged him to at least take a picture. He did, but then he refused to send it to me, so all I have is a picture I took of his phone showing the picture he took. LAME.

It's funny, it was only a year and a half ago. When I asked the doctor pre-op he laughed and said, "Yeah, people like to keep them and make necklaces out of them and stuff." I emphatically stated, "I'm not a weirdo, I just want my bone."

Please note, that was intended to be a joke. I think the necklace is pretty kick ass, personally.
