  • Sorry about the loss Gary…It’s always hard to bring in a new year on a sad note. Best wishes to you and your wifes family!!!
    On a brighter note, i tried3 wines today. A syrah, Merlot, and Jackson-Trigg Vidal icewine…i loved the icewine…very good…The other 2 were gross….it may be because i havent had wine in years…But the Merlot was watery with no flavor and the Syrah was just as bad. I think since i’m a beginner, i will stick to the dessert wines!!!!

  • Oh yeah. The Contra Code is

    UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START

    and for two players:

    UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A SELECT START

    Works on most Konami games. 🙂

    You’re going to have a million nerds coming on here to correct you.
