NE146 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Pure dumb luck. I like drinking Grolsch, Red Hook ESB, and Heineken when I have cash. And Strohs, Keystone, and Bud Light when I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Well I guess this shoots down my plans for a new contest. I was going to give away mint-in-box factory-sealed copies of Swordquest Waterworld, Quadrun, and Atlantis 2 to the first person to correctly guess what day of the week it is today. Let’s see, I’ve given away – on these message boards – copies of Trick Shot, Lost Luggage, Pitfall II, Venture II (boxed), and now Tapper. Pitfall Harry has given away Crazy Climber and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So, I'll tell ya what Room34, if you want to rein in the good-natured ribbing and put a part of *your* collection up for grabs, I’d love to enter your upcoming giveaway – as will many others on the boards here. I look forward to your upcoming contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 So, I'll tell ya what Room34, if you want to rein in the good-natured ribbing and put a part of *your* collection up for grabs, I’d love to enter your upcoming giveaway – as will many others on the boards here. I look forward to your upcoming contest. I'm more like a movie critic. I just deride the work of others, without actually doing anything of substance myself. :wink: Actually, I would do something like this, but the rarest cartridge I own is "Gremlins." I suppose I could have a "Gremlins" contest if you want. Maybe I'll have a contest to see who is the best at soldering, and the winner gets to come to my house and fix the fried circuit boards on my pinball machine! I do have a little "challenge" going. The only prize at this point is a listing on the "hall of fame" of people who've solved it. But it's a start. Here it is: THE GAME ART NAME GAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Man, I forgot all about Strohs. I haven't had Strohs since I was underage. Which was at least 12 years ago. How much is a case of Stohs over der in Drew Carey Land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Shop right, you can get a case for $13 or less. Mmmmm...bitter brewed goodness. Though, when I want to impress business partners, I order either Guinness or the obligatory Corona (complete with lime wedgie). I also enjoy Pete's Wicked Ale, Dos Equis, and Keystone (when I'm feeling *real* short on cash). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I used to buy a case of Keystone (great taste of a bottle, in a can, yeah right!) for $7.00 each. That was 8-10 yrs ago I think. I'd buy 4 cases at a time. Of course, I believe I drank them four times faster than normal too. I stay away from cheap beer; it doesn't satisfy me so I end up drinking more of it. Coors Light is like drinking water. EDIT ANd when I'm playing my many 2600 games, I like a satisfying beer. Say, how's about a game of Tapper?

Room 34 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I used to buy a case of Keystone (great taste of a bottle, in a can, yeah right!) for $7.00 each. I bet you had some great "Keystone Kapers" in those days! (Sorry... lame joke. I just wanted to make sure we stay on-topic here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Heh. "Keystone Kapers." Now *that* is funny! Someone needs to design a new "fake label" with this "koncept." Moycon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Sniderman: Well, I guess I'm a doofus, but what on earth was your 'clue'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 The clue? Well, I alluded to it here: Want a clue? Okie dokie…. UIJT TUBUFNFOU JT OPU B NZTUFSZ CFFS DMVF. Though I never once said the coded sentence *was* the clue. (I'll leave it to you to decode it. Move one letter BACK for each one.) The clue was in the message. The word "shorts" appeared in there. Spell it backwards. ta-da. However, the contest didn't go on long enough for me to say "Go back to the beginning and try it in the other direction." (Which was a future clue.) I used to catch a lot of Hell for drinking "Shorts" and that's why I used that right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnspike Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I never catch these contests until they are already over. BTW...Bass Ale is one of my Favs too, but I was going to guess Arrogant Bastard Ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 The best joke guess would have been "Düff", or possibly Fudd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
