arcade classics have medicinal properties
« on: May 04, 2009, 06:02:55 am »

I've been going to the gym. I've been doing 160kg on the incline leg press. My thighs are happy enough with that, but i stuffed up my knee. Didn't notice until two days later. Anyway, tonight it was still quite painful as i sat down to a couple of hours of classic gaming on my cocktail cab. Wouldn't you know it, afterwards my knee feels almost normal!

As it is in Lourdes, i can only assign this little miracle to the supernatural  ;D

I may start charging people to use my cab to get better. It does have a coin slot after all!

Unfortunately they are quite difficult to swallow. I won't even contemplate the rectal administration of the medicine ...  :o

Our Lady of Galaga does have a pretty nice ring to it.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Ahem....perhaps giving it a rest helped. Anyways, goes to show gear is inherently problematic.

I don't get it, man.

It's what happens at sites like Lourdes. You go there, It's nice and serene. You get all rested. You feel better. It must be a miracle because someone once cried tears of blood there or some other voodoo. In the same fashion, i've decided my cab must have similar miraculous healing powers (",)
