ironywatch: toys”R”us
| written by geoffrey on 07/24/08 | 4 comments |
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
thinking about suspending your hormonal development so you never have to grow up, and therefore can remain a toys”R”us kid forever? great idea! as a kid, toys”R”us was the most fun place in the world, where you could beg and scream at your parents to buy you the ghostbusters HQ playset (complete with fireman’s pole and ectoplasm). as an adult, you’ll find the complete lack of atmosphere and fun nothing short of hilarious.
here’s a picture of what toys”R”us looks like today:
it’s like a food4less with toys! hooray!! i love the magical rafters and twinkling florescent lights. looking at this today, i’m kind of sad that i dragged by grandma there so many times.
so, if you want to have a good time in a depressingly lit warehouse of defective transformers backpacks, ironywatch proudly endorses toys”R”us, where an adult can become disillusioned about their childhood.

monopoly on the super nintendo - why?
| written by geoffrey on 02/28/08 | 1 comment |
the idea of nintendo monopoly really pisses me off.
i can understand kids who are too lazy to go outside and play real basketball, instead of charles barkley’s shut up and jam, because that was me. however, how much work does it take to play actual monopoly with a board (as in “board game”)? and isn’t it a thousand times more satisfying to have a card in your hand that says “ventnor avenue” than to dick around with an snes controller?
take all of 5 minutes to set-up the actual game and play it. i love my nintendo, but snes monopoly fails.
