Winter-een-mas
« on: January 28, 2007, 01:18:32 AM »
I wasn't sure if you guys had heard of this or not, but this week (January 25th to the 31st) is the national video gaming holiday called Winter-een-mas  :antlers:. www.wintereenmas.co m if you want to learn more. Basically for week, you play video games (not sure if that's different than any other week for some people, definatly in my case) and celebrate video games in general.
The guy that invented the holiday put a print-out of this crown to wear around so Clayen and I got this bright idea to print these out not only for ourselves but the people we work with and then wear them to work. People had some pretty dumb questions about our hats but I guess we were pretty dumb to wear them to work. we got a kick out of it though. Here are some pics of us after we got home: (I am the girl, Clayen is the guy with glasses, Danny is a kid we work with).

Is that a real dog or stuffed?  Or perhaps real at one time, but now stuffed?

I like the crowns.   :thumbsup:

I'm sorry, but unless those crowns have the "Contra Code" on them, there is no way I'll agree that they are genuine Winter-een-mas Crowns.  :no:

Just for reference sake, the "Contra Code" aka "Konami Code" is:  up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start
