Thankfully I was only bent slightly at the time, so I saw it coming enough to catch it with my forearm, but that hood is heavy as hell and it hit my arm right on the bone. Hurt like a mother.

I'm just glad I wasn't bent all the way over, otherwise I'd have much a bigger problem right now than a sore arm.
Glad you're ok!

:) -- Think of this in the context in the year the game was released (2005)
Warioware Twisted message upon getting the Kid Icarus BGM item:

"This is as close as you'll ever get to a sequel! Har har!"

How good of a Nintendo reference is/was THAT? Don't bring up the 1991 Gameboy title either.

Of course, 7 years later....

Frown I'm sick today. I feel delirious like I'm about to get a fever. When I woke up I just thought I was hungover then started to feel worse as the day went on. I still helped my girlfriend do a bunch of yard work and leveled most of the front yard. Now I want nothing more then to go home and curl up with my ds and play the world ends with you but it's not going to happen since we still need to get dinner.

Editing in a smile here. My ds had stopped charging and I wasn't sure if it was something to do with the ds or the charger so I crossed my fingers and ordered a chargee from ebay. Turns out it was just the charger so now I'm free to play my ds again.

I have to admit, I do some of the things on that list. There's only one I take objection to:
Venerating the movies and TV shows of your youth
Yep, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a cartoon masterpiece, but only because you were a kid. And like all kids, you had horrible taste. It’s fine to think back fondly on this stuff, but if you try to convince someone that The NeverEnding Story is a triumph of cinema you’re just going to sound like a scared man-child clinging desperately to his youth.
I didn't see The Neverending Story until after I turned 18, and I think it's a great movie. They could have picked a better example.

Yeah Neverending Story actually kicks ass, and the novel is even better.

I can't view that College Humor link as I'm at work. :?

Here's the list:

1) Talking about the weather.

2) Saying This makes me feel old if you are under 40.

3) Describing a scene you saw on a tv show.

4) Comparing Sarah Jessica Parker to a horse (or any one to a horse for that matter)

5) Being surprised when other people use Sriracha Sauce.

6) Reusing jokes you've made on Twitter in actual conversations.

7) Making portmanteaus out of words that don't need to be portmanteaus.

8) Making fun of books you haven't read and movies you haven't watched.

9) Using pre-canned puns in political arguments.

10) Syncing Spotify with your Facebook needs.

11) Making Facebook accounts for pets and babies.

12) Talking about Nickelback.

13) Saying boring things in a silly voice.

14) Playing music for your friends while you are present.

15) Venerating the tv shows and movies from your youth.

16) Saying YOLO.

17) Complaining about people saying YOLO.

18) Telling people about how much sleep you did or didn't get.

19) Stopping at the end of an escalator.

20) Other people's business.

Oh dear god it irks me when people act like lack of sleep is a badge of honor. It ranks right up there with "I aced that test and didn't even study! / I aced that class even though I skipped half of the lectures!"
