Topic: Were you embarrased to pick up Ruby or Sapphire and why/why not

[Grey Ninja]

I remember there was this one time I was buying a couple of porno mags, and the clerk asked me for some ID.  I passed over my driver's license, and she noticed I was from Taber.  She asked me: "Hey, do you know anyone I know?".  I was a little freaked out at that time, and I was a little embarassed.

That's about the only time I was really embarassed when buying anything.

As for furbies though... yes, those are totally demonic things that should be banished.  I remember going to Toys R Us to buy one once though, as I was going to scare the crap out of someone with one, but I couldn't find the Demonic Toy section in the store.  I asked the clerk where to find the possessed toys, and she said that they were discontinued.  (After figuring out what I was talking about that is.)

I remember when I was ~20 in college I ran into a girl that I was very attracted to.  I was returning a semi-porn movie (Alyssa Milano was naked in most of it), and she asks, "What's the video about?"   ME:  "Errrr... uh... well, it's about this girl who goes off to college, and how she adjusts to the new lifestyle and has...um... new experiences with all the people she meets.  Yeah, that's it."  

Something about the way she smiled told me she knew what the movie was about, but she wanted to see me squirm. ;-)  If the same scene happened today (at age 30), I'd probably just say, "It doesn't really have a story.  I rented it so I could see Alyssa Milano naked."  I've come to realize that most women are more sexual than guys and don't mind a little bit of porn.

A little... just because it is so kid based... I don't care about all the hype to rid the world of the "evil" they call Pokemon...

Geez...I remember when Pokemon Blue & Red came out (I am currently fourteen). I was playing it on my old gray brick Gameboys. It was the third game I bought for Gameboy (the other two being Tetris and Metroid 2). Pokemon is really what introduced me and got me interested in Nintendo. Thank you Pokemon, for not letting stray down the Grand Theft Auto path. There is a God.

Hey, do you still remember the original Gameboys? Mine is as old as I am and still works as good as it did the day I got it. Not only that but it is indestructable. Dropped down the stairs? Check. Left outside? Check. Dropped numerous times on hard linoleum floors? Check. The thing went threw batteries but, I spent a many happy hours on it. Brings a Tear to my eye...

I'm going to buy Pokemon ASAP. Amen.

ive heard alot of stuff about furby's being diabolical but i forgot y . can any of u tell me y  , cuz they look like  fuzzy little things that wont hurt a fly.i know its off topic but i just wanted to know , just curious

[RahXephon]

well i will tell you why furbies are evil.  I am not one of those who like to joke that kind o stuff.  But my younger brother had one, he found it to be dumb after a while.  So he let me kick it. and when i did, it started making crazy noises non-stop and the eyes kept going as far up as possible and mouth was moving and i had nightmares afterwards.  It was pretty freaky to see a toy act like that.
