I still have my original Game Boy, the big grey box with the green LCD screen that took 4 AA batteries. It's actually the second original one I got; since the screen all but burned out on the first one. (And even that one I didn't toss until I moved last month). I also have a GBC and a GBA and a DS and now a 3DS. Never gotten any of the Micros or Xl's though, but I did get all of my systems brand new. (Ok there was 1 Playstation I got second hand; but I've since given that to mom for her classroom)

wow that's quite sexist/misogynistic......

Do note that it's a WOMAN who was saying it.

That changes nothing.

Garble their diction until they become announcers at the Greyhound station.

Well, the guy wasn't really that far off.

"Bus leaving on station seven for Hackensack, Passaic, Ho-Ho-Kus, Hopatcong, Pohatcong, Lopatcong, Allamuchy, Pahaquarry, Mah-Wah and Manunka Chunk!"

(Yes, these are all real town names in New Jersey, and there are more like them in the adjacent parts of Pennsylvania. Don't you just love Lenni-Lenape place names?)

It be nice if the machines were built to handle being autoclaved.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one bothered by this.

but I can't stand the thought of selling something that might have all kinds of diseases planted on it. Whenever we get a used system in I wipe it down with Lysol or Clorox. x)P

Oh come now mp, are you suggesting that there are people out there who don't take care of their systems (or, in some cases, "take care" of them the wrong way...>_> Sheldon...? That's your cue) ? It's not like the one I used to work at got in systems that harbored multiple generations of live cockroaches or fleas within them....more than once...each

Naturally, the owners claimed that they "worked just fine". Note that we found out about the infested systems the hard way, generally while hooking them up to the mini-TV up front to test them. Nobody EVER volunteered this info in advance, of course Too late at that point, our freshly-minted store now has a permanent bug problem. Thanks a LOT, SC

My favorite is the little town of Elephant's Butte, within spitting distance of Big Ugly National Forest.

While we're dealing with weird names, I'm glad I was able beat Sheldon in listing these:
Intercourse, PA
Big Bone Lick state park in Kentucky (note that the state abbreviation is "KY"
If you look at the Wikipedia entry, you'll see that the park is on Beaver road, near the town of Beaverlick.
