One of the funniest memes ever. Not sure where it came from but for about half a year everyone was calling Gamestop and harassing them about Battle Toads.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Oh man this stuff was legendary. One of my friends made a call asking for "Battletoads 4: Revenge of the Lizard King", it was so epic. Totally a had to be there moment, as I'm sure was the case for anyone who did this...Flake wrote:One of the funniest memes ever.

good times.
Re: Random Thoughts Thread
I've had some funny Battletoads calls myself back in the day. I'm not exactly sure how it started or why Battletoads was the game picked to harass GS with but it just seems so hilariously fitting.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Legend has it that in the late 2000's teenagers with low IQ's and nothing better to do called local video game retailers asking for a new Battletoads, which was nonexistent. The height of hilarity would be that an employee would look for the game, but usually the caller was hung up on. Oh how epic that was! How funny it was to waste peoples time with a prank call that was neither clever, original, nor funny.
The meme was as dumb as one of garrett123s threads.
A few people with a working cognitive system pulled off a few good pranks, such as printing out covers for a new Battletoads game that looked 100% legit, and would leave a Battletoads "game" in stores. That also got old quick, but at least there was some originality involved.
Random Thought:
Is it safe to purchase meat from Wal-Mart? Not kidding. I have a lot of household items to purchase (ass-wipe, paper towels, deodorant, soaps, cleaners, etc.) and I figured I may as well do my grocery shopping there, but what is the quality of meat? Should I just purchase my beef and poultry somewhere else, or does Wal-Mart sell decent quality meat?

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
I never buy meat @ Wal-Mart...it always pales compared to that from a butcher or from a dedicated grocery store.Luke wrote:Legend has it that in the late 2000's teenagers with low IQ's and nothing better to do called local video game retailers asking for a new Battletoads, which was nonexistent.

That reminded me of:
"You can live on it, but it tastes like shit"-Mick Dundee
I think I'll shop elsewhere for my meat(s). Everything, even whole chickens, seem to lack flavor. I'm assuming that the meat sold at Wal-Mart isn't of the highest quality (doesn't need to be, but I like some flavor) but I want the food to at least taste like food. I'm dead serious, a few extra cents a pound can make a world of difference.
That said, I also grind my own beef so it is obvious I'm picky.
