Good ep. – I have added the ‘94 Dows Vintage Port to my wishlist. Sounds like a great bottle to keep tucked away for a couple decades.

Nice to see ya fighting that “Post game depression” thingy. Welcome back. If you want to really appreciate your Jets more then come on down to Texas and watch a Cowboys game with me.:):):) I hated seeing ya getting so down because of the Jets but I understand, my Cowboys have done it to me so many times…I still for some unknown reason keep giving them more and more chances. Oh well….

QOTD: Mario Bros.for sure……………

Great episode. I’ll need to pick up some port on my next batch. My wife is expecting so we’re not getting through as much wine as we used to, and I’m buying way faster than I’m consuming. Somebody stop me?

QOTD: So hard to pick one, but the the NES was and remains the best video game system evah…so here are a few:

1) Ninja Gaiden – so difficult to beat the first time
2) Baseball Stars – we wasted entire summers running leagues
3) Bionic Commando – not the most well known game, but tons of fun
4) Mike Tyson’s Punchout – fought Iron Mike over 100 times w/ the code during a 24 hour stretch before beating him like Buster Douglas.
5) Tecmo Bowl – if you didn’t call the Bo Jackson run on defense every time you faced the Raiders you were an idiot.
6) Zelda II – just a great game overall
7) Mega Man – the entire series rocked
Metroid – hard game to beat
