First off, a very happy birthday to the Sega Genesis, which turns 20 today. I love you now as I always have.

Assisting me tonight will be the above variation of a picture that Grim posted, which was the second-weirdest thing I’ve seen all day.
Valve had a yard sale, Rey got some de-bro-dorant, someone took my Sega poll jokewaytoo seriously, Ashley dished out some more Saturday morning memories, and plenty of other neat things happened. Relax and have a beer, 8/14/09, ya did good.
