There used to be this old game, Gunbound, that my friends and I played in high school. It was a really well made game, similar to Worms with a little Asian/anime touch to it. One of the characters was called a Nak. I forget if it was before or after playing this game, that my friends and I started to say “nak nak nak.” The lingo I picked up when I was young was so bizarre. I used to use words like “the win”, “loseout”, “yot”, “fat bonus ownage” and I think at some point, we had a fascination with the name Otis. How and why do kids think of these things?
Do you remember those dubbed GI-Joe commercials? Every time my dining has pork sandwiches, I laugh inside. I saw a bunch of those videos on youtube the other day and they are just as funny. It’s great when old videos never really get old.
I wonder when I’m old and have grandkids, if they’ll look back at my internet browsing history, or read this blog and think to themselves how weird I am. Will they not get all these funny things from my childhood? I’d hate to think that my pop-culture references would ever get old.
haha, i still have that dollar bill you drew all over with guns pointed at this character named 'otis'
