    A dear friend growing up, and I had the same naming convention and would joke about them. Honestly, the Southpark episode was so good that if you haven’t watched it, you should. Thanks for the share!

      Iran-Contra was a political scandal back in the 80s where Raegans (may he burn in hell forevermore) administration illegally sold weapons to Iran

      The Hardy Boys are 2 detective brothers who solved mysteries. Literally just the young boy version of Nancy Drew books, basically.

      The joke here is that a Hardy Boys level adventure (The Secret of Pirate Cove) resulted in them outing the Iran-Contra affair

        So defensive of a 30 year old comic you didn’t write that has a teen using a common colloquialism!

              Cant remember the name but it was an old city builder where ya had to build luxury space resorts. Weird fucking game, still have it somewhere.

              Edit: Found the box, its called Space Colony. Firefly and gathering are on the box no clue which is the publisher and which is the dev.

                  I think one of the characters said ain’t. Its a completely pointless line that juat kinda glued to my memory for no reason. Hell it may have been part of a mod for all I know. I havent touched the game since like 2009.

                  Do you remember what was the grammar was that got corrected?

                  Hehe if you are policing Gary Larson’s (who likely will never even read your notes here) grammar, does this little slip up mean we should jump down your throat just the same?

                  Stones/glass houses and so forth.
