Monkey business.

I’m just asking out of innocent curiosity, folks. I’m in the mood for some good wings is all.

I’m already set in the hooter department.

I think there is a Hooters not far from here. I think it’s been established previously that wings are a real pain in the ass, not worth the effort of extracting the tiny shred of meat from the messy clutter of skeleton. Plantmonster recommends the other meat at Hooters, maybe I’ll ask about that.

Neg at this point, I think we have enough spare heads, and possibly a female head to make “Legotron II” or possibly “Legotronette.”

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 06/16/2009 12:05 PM EDT

Female head, huh? Sounds like a LegoTRAN to me.

As far as Hooters goes, my wife teases me about the place all the time now that one has opened near us. But honestly? While I don’t think any red-blooded straight male (or woman of the lady-lovin’ persuasion) objects to the scenery, wings just don’t do it for me. I’ve eaten there a few times and I guess the food was pretty good, but it’s nothing I’d write home about. But that’s just me, I guess.

Ghosted by Rhino @ 06/16/2009 12:45 PM EDT

I’ve only been to Hooters twice, and I’d have to say both times the food was pretty sub-par. Maybe I just caught it on a couple of bad nights. I think they’re relying on the other perks of the place to make up for the crap food.

Legotramp–the female Legotron who’s been around the block.

Ghosted by DJ D @ 06/16/2009 12:54 PM EDT

Legotramp, that could work since Legotron had that tryst with Waiterbetty…

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 06/16/2009 1:13 PM EDT

So I tried to go to the 2008 AC and I just get the frames and nothing else.

Has it been taken down?

As for Hooters, I think the food is terrible. The scenery is nice, but I thought the food sucked the couple of times I went, especially the wings.

Ghosted by Darth Galvatron @ 06/16/2009 1:15 PM EDT

2008’s hasn’t been taken down as far as I can see, the main page for it is down, but the individual entries are up.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 06/16/2009 1:16 PM EDT

I just picked up Ghostbusters for the Wii. I get a Mr. Stay-Puft mini-figure for pre-ordering. Not bad, eh? I got the pre-order free for participating in a video game tournament at the video store.

Ghosted by Hoverbored @ 06/16/2009 1:30 PM EDT

Alright so, to hell with Hooters. Is there a Booties franchise around here somewhere?

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up 13 @ 06/16/2009 1:30 PM EDT

Yes Rev. there is a “Booties” franchise. You can find it on the south side of… ME!

*shakes it*

AWWWWW YEEAAAA!!!

Ghosted by Morfnblorsh @ 06/16/2009 1:40 PM EDT

Morfnblorsh:
Good going, chap!
That made me laugh out loud.

I like Hooters- but only becuase I order a lb. of snow crab legs and get to eat ‘em with my hands.
I am not a fan of wings.

Though I have been known to steal the wing-eaters’ celery sticks and bleu cheese.

Ghosted by kittymao @ 06/16/2009 3:12 PM EDT

Fun Fact: The girls at Hooters, although paid to be as fun and lively as possible, do NOT appreciate it when you attempt to order them as your entree with implications of actually feasting on their flesh smattered in honey mustard and no sexual connotations insinuated.

The comedy of such a scenario is completely lost on them and causes them to no longer fake-flirt with you or get you drink refills.

Ghosted by Morfnblorsh @ 06/16/2009 3:51 PM EDT

I don’t like the way that monkey’s looking at me.

DJ D, like that scene in Ghostbusters II, where it seems like the picture is looking at people and actually is?

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 06/16/2009 8:15 PM EDT

Tresjolie9: Exactly. I feel like if I keep looking at it long enough it’s going to compel me to go steal somebody’s baby.

Ghosted by DJ D @ 06/16/2009 9:11 PM EDT

I’ve been wondering for a while and hopefully you guys can help – but how do you view the old ACs from years past?

Ghosted by pseudo-name @ 06/16/2009 9:47 PM EDT

DJ_D do not let yourself become possessed by the spirit of Vigo!

He is evil, and steals babies…

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 06/16/2009 10:22 PM EDT

“Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
They’re called the Ghostbusters and they’re in control
Had ‘em throwin’ a party for a bunch of children
While all the while the slime was under the building
So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped
Grabbed their proton packs off their back and they split
Found about Vigo, the master of evil
Try to battle my boys? That’s not legal”

Ghosted by DJ D @ 06/16/2009 10:44 PM EDT

Well…finally dug my old NES out of my grandmas rec room. Along with 40 games(I am missing 10 or more though..need to find em)

I couldn’t get it to work at first…so I tried cleaning the games, and also, this trick I saw on you tube where you don’t put the cartridge all the way to the back…but you have to put it in so the cart just skims the fron of the system,but still goes down…then you jiggle it side to side very gently.

I picked up two more NES games while I was out. I got Festers Quest, which I have wanted since I was 9. And Casino Kid.

Maybe during an SNT I’ll list all the games I found.

Ah, the lyrics to the attempted song from Ghostbusters II, all thought it was long lost, about the worst part of that film.

Drinking the WoW Gamer Fuel. Alliance. It tastes…..blue.

I wanna try the WoW pops. Especially the Horde flavor.

Thanks to Monday night’s episode of Conan, Spinal Tap released a new album, and it is AWESOME. All the songs you remember are back and remastered, plus plenty of new ones. There’s also a DVD, and the entire case folds out into a diorama of the trio on a stage with adoring “fans,” complete with mini Stonehenge!

Twice is nice! DJ D wants everyone to know that everyone already knows you gotta blow on it.

In the health section of our local paper this morning is a small article telling me that the Chia Pet seeds are edible (though flavorless) and high in nutrients. You can eat them by simply eat them by doing something like sprinkling them on a salad or yougurt.

Anyone want to try this?

When I think of Monkey Business I think of the Marx Bros. movie.

Ghosted by ReesiePuffs @ 06/17/2009 9:58 AM EDT

The one and only time I”ve been to a Hooters, it took FOREVER to get my startingly underwhelming bar food. You would think the hot female waitresses would provide me with a distraction while I waiting forever for my food, but at least at that particular time, there weren’t any especially hot wommen on duty. I didn’t see what all the fuss was about.

Ghosted by tanta07 @ 06/17/2009 9:59 AM EDT

Mandy, one trick that has worked for me in the past is pushing the cart down past where it locks and holding it there with another cart. You then lightly tap the reset button until the game works.

Ghosted by Rhino @ 06/17/2009 10:43 AM EDT

You people who don’t eat wings are crazy. You probably like that Tim and Eric crap, too, don’t you?

One of my former students works at Hooters and puts pictures of herself in her uniform on her myspace. Awkward.

Finally, be careful, mandy_Reeves. Fester’s Quest will drive you mad.

Ghosted by Teddy Ray @ 06/17/2009 10:49 AM EDT

Agreed. And it may sound silly to say in the year 2009, but make sure you are playing Fester’s Quest on a color television. Fester’s quest is the stuff of madness, but black and white Fester is where nightmares live.

Ghosted by Rhino @ 06/17/2009 10:52 AM EDT

Teddy Ray, it’s a proven fact that some of the most evil people in history have loved wings. In fact, I think wings are the official snack meat of the Unibomber. What do you have to say about THAT, huh?

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up 13 @ 06/17/2009 10:58 AM EDT

ULTRAMAN, what would WoW Horde pops taste like? Blood and honor? Orc sweat? Although I’m sure the masses wouldn’t mind if it was blood elf sweat…female belf, of course.

WoW-sicles: The Pop of a Thousand Truths.

NES carts, or any video game carts for that matter, enjoy occasional cleaning with a custom solution of rubbing alcohol and Windex. Shines up those metal contacts right smartly. If you have one of those gadgets that works on the cart slot on your console, so much the better. That’s where the real attention has to be paid.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 06/17/2009 11:52 AM EDT

I don’t eat wings because they’re a complete waste of time. You have to eat like 80 of them to get any kind of meat and it takes forever and they’re messy as fuck. I feel much the same way about ribs.

Ghosted by Annette @ 06/17/2009 12:59 PM EDT

Oh, as for NES stuff, if you can find one of those top-loading models, get one because the design flaw that made cartridges impossible to load was fixed. My husband has one. It’s why I married him.

Ghosted by Annette @ 06/17/2009 1:02 PM EDT

Ah yes. The NES cleaning kit. When GameStop was Funcoland, they talked me into the cleaning kit. I was laughed at as if I got taken by a used car salesman, but when the console starts having issues, don’t think the husband doesn’t use my cleaning kit. Who’s laughing now, huh?

My husband and I each have our original consoles (and their boxes no less) and wondered what we were going to do with two (or how we were going to decide whose got to stay). But, we realized the other day that it’ll be perfect since we’re having twins. I think the NES is a great starting point for gaming. Besides, I don’t want to be like the guy in the article I read yesterday who’s concerned about his 8-year-old downloading mature games on his iPhone. Why on earth does your 8-year-old have an iPhone?!

Nobody has mentioned the rub-wiggle trick for NES carts? You put the cartridge in normally, then, rub lightly and quickly back and forth on the little square handle-cut-out of the cartridge. This wiggles the cartridge back and forth on it’s contacts. Works like a dream.

Just rub it baby!

Ghosted by Robot Butler @ 06/17/2009 2:45 PM EDT

… and about this whole Hooters thing. The Hooters across the street from us does not serve alcohol. They only have crappy domestic beers like Bud Light. I don’t know if it is like this everywhere, but they have a “Hooters Shooter” that is a shot glass full of bud light with an oyster in it. GROSS!

We went there once, and the lighting was so bad, I actually stood on the table and unscrewed the light bulb above our table. Yeah, I’m a bitch.

Ghosted by Robot Butler @ 06/17/2009 2:49 PM EDT

So, what we’ve learned so far is, you gotta know how to blow on it, keep your cartridge slot clean, and when all else fails, wiggle it into your slot and make sure to rub it to get good results…

Is it getting hot in here?

Ghosted by DJ D @ 06/17/2009 3:49 PM EDT

Don’t forget tapping it during a pile-on

Ghosted by Rhino @ 06/17/2009 4:16 PM EDT

Not to mention rubbing in a vigorous circular motion, hitherto unknown in society but destined to take the place of the Mud Shark in our mythology……

rub it.
