Who cares Steve and billy are hilarious in that movie, mainstream still wouldnt give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about the record if it wasn't for that movie and didn't that movie inspire Hank to go for it anyway?  Steve and billy made it fun to play donkey Kong again for a lot of people who aren't associated with arcades all the time like this group, so they deserve the spotlight.

Heh, and if you go to Funspot, you're sure to find someone at that DK in a chair.  It's the only game in the whole place people pull up a chair to play.  Wanna guess why?  You see people sitting there with an audience that can barely play the game.  You see people posing for photos with that one cab.  I was there yesterday, 2pm on a tuesday, and saw people posing for Facebook pics in front of that DK.

I hate when people don't date their articles or what-have-you. Anyways, didn't Billy submit a higher score after Chen's 1.06 mil?


On a side note, this comment in Patterson's latest has got to be one of the all-time retro. I didn't even watch Alf, but I know who he was.


I like the movie in all its dated, silly, 90′s glory, but it is one goofy-ass flick and a hard one to take seriously so a game could have been a disaster of Alf-like proportions.

Alf wasn't a disaster.  It was a typical network sitcom.  I bet it ran longer than the average network sitcom does.

It still freaks me out that it turns out that the guy that played the dad on Alf had a thing for going out with his boyfriend and picking up homeless men they didn't know then smoking crack and having unprotected 3-way sex with them...   :dizzy:

Makes no difference to me which side you like your bread buttered on, but dang...

Doubtful, Eddie has too much money,  but I bet Charlie Murphy does.

Dang, indeed.  Not saying the guy was a saint, but he also played the manager (owner?) of Central Perk on FRIENDS (pre-Gunther).  Biggest controversy I see in his Wikipedia article and IMDb profile is a DUI arrest.  Sounds to me like that "crack" stuff is just an urban legend.

If you look at the wikipedia history there are tons of entries of people editing the info back in and other people editing them out, labeling the stuff as "possible vandalism" and using notes like "the national enquirer is not a reliable source."  The enquirer photos look pretty authentic to me (and they are not explicit, so you can google "max wright enquirer photos" and see them without much fear.)

The Enquirer might actually be reliable for Hollywood type crap.  If they were making all that stuff up they'd have been sued out of existence 30 years ago.

You realize there are published photos of this, right?

No... wasn't aware of that.  You realize there are a LOT of urban legends about celebrities, right?  Just because this might not be doesn't mean I'm a nutcase for assuming it might be... or are you one of those people who actually believes that Richard Gere shoves shaved gerbils up his ass?

[EDIT]

Saw the photos, and a thought occurs to me.  I don't remember whether it was Wikipedia or IMDb, but there was a mention that he looked so much like Oliver Stone's lawyer that they actually did an Iran-Contra hearing parody bit on ALF.  Is it not possible that the crackhead is someone else?  Again, I'm prepared to accept that it is, but I gotta assume the guy is innocent until proven guilty, not that a happily married man just goes to a crack house to pick up homeless guys for fun.  What is wrong with you people???

 :dunno

I have a San Francisco friend who did a lot of coke in the 70s or 80s, would go out with his partner (still together today) and pick up guys every night, and has said he thinks they didn't get anything because they couldn't get it up.


Anyways: go Hank!

And this means what... that you have sleazy friends?  Point taken.

Actually, they both were business majors, made a lot of money, and have been retired since their 50s.

Although: when I said 'friend' (I was speaking colloquially) I meant we email periodically, and we go out to dinner during his annual visit. He is a college friend of my mom's, through whom I met him only ten years ago.
