Sarchasm
So I got an email the other day telling me that every year the Washington Post has a contest where readers are asked to supply alternate definitions for common words or to take any word from the dictionary alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. My favorite is sarchasm. This is one of those things you read and wish that it had been you that came up with it.Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
Pure genius.
In other news, I finally got around to borrowing that Super Nintendo from Ryan. Bring on the Dr. Mario! Whoo hoo! I think part of Saturday will have to be dedicated to hooking it up...that and the printer that sat in a box in my office for weeks and is now sitting (still in the box) on my bedroom floor. Or maybe I'll just wait till next Thursday so that instead of messing with my tv, the techies will have something else to occupy their time!

Plugging in your gaming console, Coles notes., for Trish's TV.
- Take the power plug, plug it into the power outlet in the wall, if it does not fit, use the other end.
- Take the end of the power plug that is not in the wall, plug it into the gaming console, find a hole that it fits snugly into, do not force it into a small hole, or leave it dangling in a large hole, or try to plug it into smooth plastic (not a hole), ensure the hole is the same size and shape as the power plug end.
- Complex part, look at the back of the console, find a another cable that plugs into the back, you might have to use your imagination on this one a bit, find a hole that matches another cable that came with the console.
- once you have found the cable and hole, plug them in together.
- take the other end of the cable that you just plugged in and look at it.
are there 1, 2 or 3 cables.
If there are 2 or 3 chances are they are yellow and white for 2 cables
or
yellow white and red for 3 cables.
Yellow = video cable
white = Left audio (or mono audio)
red = right audio
plug them into the FRONT of your TV.
If there is only 1 cable, and there is a box in the middle, and it looks like you can plug the cable into the box and make a neat art project, you have to aviod the urge to plug the cable into the box it is connected to.
instead, look at the back of your TV, for a place the cable will fit, you might need to take off a cable from your VCR to find this hole, plug the cable into your TV (I am starting to wonder why I started this thing, this isnt funny anymore) plug the cable you removed into the box.
- plug in a controaller into the front.
- plug a cartridge into the top
- move the POWER button/switch until you see a red light start on the box
- press the buttons on the controller until you feel enjoyment, if enjoyment is not felt in 10-50 minutes, turn off power, and put in another cartridge.
- turn power back on, repeat pressing controller until you feel enjoyment.
Or the easy 2 step process.
Step 1 - Invite techie friend over. Step 2 - Sit back and watch while he sets everything up in 0.2 seconds. Easy as pie. :o)
Plug it into the VCR joe, make her jump through hoops to get from TV and Gaming.
Matt, what did I ever do to you? Why are you so mean to me? :o(
I can say that I am the second best player at Dr. Mario. Carrie has this uncanny ability to kick ass like I've never seen before.
As for Street Fighter 2 - Matt is a worthy opponent. I would like to say that the years living with him allow me to at say I tie him....but in reality I would say he beat me 75% of the time.
I think back in my day, I could kick anyone's ass at dr. mario. But I am severely out of practice...
Hummm... Liberated smurfettes should be able to figure out how to hook their SNES on their own.
Strive to be a geek girlfriend, it apparently pays off in the long run, read-on:

I love the word "sarchasm"! That is the best word I've heard in forever!
Yes Artoo, but why become a geek myself when it is so easy to find male ones out there. In order to impress someone with my newfound geeky talents, I would have to find a guy that doesn't have such talents, and we all know that isn't happening in this crowd! :o)
I have not played street fighter in a loooooong time.
It was always more fun in the arcade with the joystick and the big buttons.
Trish - I write a biiiiig long instruction manual, to try and make a hidden point, that you should try and hook it up, and that it isn't that hard.
Then you get Joe to hook it up :-). You can't be a woman liberated and complaining about Alpha Males if you keep asking us (Joe) for help.
Speaking of which, .... did you thank Joe??
Did he say "No Problem."?????
The big long instruction manual made it seem harder! Maybe if you hadn't scared me with it, I would have given it a try! Besides, there are no rules that say that liberated women/goddesses can't have minions! ;o)
