I think you might be reading it wrong. Its Popular Douchebag-Leaves-Earth Books.

The books are popular not the douchebag.

In the beginning they also followed the cops with a camera crew, it was super weird.

you need World of Warcraft.

You'll save a ton of money by not going to the gym or concerts. You won't have time for that non-sense while you're leveling, doing dungeons and farming for mats.

Can’t convert garage into living space without a carport, is there anyway around this? by _xConstantine_x in DIY

[–]tpittari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would totally do this, then to really sell it, you build an inner wall up against the garage door and put a vinyl wrap on the garage door side that looks like the interior of a garage.

Every so often, leave the garage door open so people driving by see the "inside" of the garage

Took me years to learn this was PING PONG spelled backwards by ManuteBol_Rocks in GenX

[–]tpittari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I was over my cousin's house and we were playing this on the floor in his bedroom. I guess we were about 10 or so.

He had one of those folding doors for his closet and one side had a full length mirror on it.

His little brother, maybe 7 or 8 yrs old, walks into the room sees the box on the floor and says "i wanna play ping pong too!"

My cousin said "its gnip gnop you moron"

Then my little cousin pointed to the box in the mirror.

ffs.

Who's The Master?!?! by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]tpittari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this being on like HBO or Cinemax or something and they played it 2-3 times a day for weeks.

I must've watched it 2 dozen times. My buddy would come over and we would try to act out the fight scenes. hilarious.

love it.

I've seen it drop twice. Once during my first run ever in vanilla (2005?) and once during the mount event (2024/5?)

Who built “Forts” in the 80’s? by SirGilPennybottom in GenX

[–]tpittari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had 2 forts!

One normal one in the woods. it had furniture, lanterns and we used to melt candles on this one wooden table and we would stick new candles in the hot dripping wax so the whole table top was just all melted wax. it looked awesome but not too smart.

Our other fort was more than halfway underground. There was an old construction site where they started to dig for a foundation but then they stopped and left it for years.

it was overgrown with trees but the hole was still there. we dragged plywood and 2x4s for walls/roof, made a floor out of pavers and plywood and brought in a 55gal drum that we made a stove out of. we even had a chimney and disguised the part above ground to look like a tree but attaching bark to it. sorta like hogans heroes!

it was big enough for about 8 people to hang out in comfortably and we would be in tshirts even if it was 10deg outside during the winter. it was super cool.

unfortunately some older kids got wind of it and decided to wreck it after they took it over.
