8. Soul Blade for the PSX
Spent far too many hours back in the day playing this game in the dorm. We were not sure hoe many times we had rolled over the internal clock in the game, as it only went up to 100 hours.

9. I'd challenge It to a good old-fashioned composing contest
Many decades, if not hundreds of years ago, folks who set metal type would have occasional contests to see who could set the fastest. Betcha Death hasn't ever been challenged to one of those! Or if It had been, it was so long ago that It's forgotten where the ligatures are...

32. Tetris
I got an A in my high school word processing class and made some enemies thanks to that game. Our teacher broke her leg playing golf (I'm still trying to figure that one out :crazy:) the first week of class so we had a 19 year old substitute for the rest of the semester. During one of his first classes with us he bragged about how nobody could beat him and one day offered an A to anybody who could. I was the only person who did. Since I already had an A I never worked and he would spend most of the classes unsuccessfully challenging me. All the girls in my class were jealous of the attention he gave me because they had crushes on him.

34. I'm awful at sports.
The only things I can do well is either roller skating or sex (and usually, I'm not injury free at the end of those either), but I can potentially (ala Rollergirl) kick ass.

Whoop-ass the mother f*cker with a big skate in his face! Bam! A bloody toothless pulp! :evilgrin: Sorry, having slight anger issues. My brain will (hopefully) be back in place soon. It should be. No reason not to be.
