Have an extra grand laying around?

Because this guy wants to play you for it in Tecmo Bowl. Now, we know what you're thinking. This has to be fake, right? Well, maybe it is, but we've contacted the man behind the web page and he seems to be the real deal. He says he will totally show up at your house (within the continental U.S.) with nothing more than a NES, Tecmo Bowl and a desire to strip you of your precious monies. And don't try to play him in that Virtual Console version of the game, either. it's only the real thing for this guy.

[Thanks, XGamerX!]

Oh, gosh....I just sent the link to his web site to a bunch of people with the subject line of 'Loser of the Month'.

ROFL

Did you think of that one yourself?

The opponent has to pick first? Lame. That's almsot like battling in rock paper scissors and getting your opponent to pick first.

Great, now I have a doppelganger on this site as well. This comment system sucks, what's the use of registering?

Joe @ May 24th 2007 10:38AM

Websense classified that site as "sex". WTF?

What a loser! This is even worse than posting a comment on a blog about a guy who plays competitive Tecmo Bowl :D

OK so for $1000 he'll fly to you anywhere in the continental USA. Maybe I just don't know how to buy tickets, but the cheapest tickets I'm ever capable of buying are at least $300. Then there's the enormous airport parking fees of $9 a day, then there's the cost of the rental car/taxi, and then there's the hotel fees (I wouldn't want this guy crashing at my place). So even if this guy won he probably wouldn't really win that much. He'd have to schedule several games in the same location at roughly the same time in order to make this worth his time and I doubt many people are going to take him up on his bet. I doubt many people are obsessed about a 15 year old game like he is!

Anyone who spells "you" as "u" is immediately penalized with 10 douche bag points.

Another quote:
>>I am also available for tap dance and comedy shows.

Oh, well I didn't know he could tap dance! This changes everything! *bangs head on desk*

Comedy shows? I image they start after someone asks "tell me about your life".

I bet this guy is 45 years old, lives with his mom, and is a gym teacher, or maybe a school bus driver. Playing Tecmo Bowl everynight has been a sad attempt to relive his glory days vicariously, which ended when the Chucky cheese birthday parties came to an end. I seriously doubt anyone could "beat" this person in Tecmo Bowl. Rock on.
