What's this I find? Two old friends from 1988!
Barcode | 10:49 PM on 02.09.2009 20 comments


I was cleaning out my closet earlier and found an old TMNT pillow I slept with when I was really young. I decided to put it into my cedar chest along with all my other prized items that my mom had put together for me. While digging around in my chest that I hadn't open in years, I find something epic. Real epic.


What was it you may ask?


Two friends that I grew up with in my childhood.





YES! Mario and Luigi! The same two Mario Bros. I grew up with way back in my NES days! My parents got both of them from our local Toys 'R Us store (now demolished and out of business) shortly after they noticed that I loved them (no homo). That was BEFORE I could speak! That's back in roughly 1989! I checked the tags on Mario and Luigi as well.



Both of them were made in my birth year as well! I'm so glad that my mother saved them for me! I had completely forgotten about having them. Ah, so much memories!

You hang onto those, Barcode. They are probably worth something nice.

@Clance,

Real men aren't afraid to have dirt under their nails, haha. I was working on my friend's Ford Escort earlier that day and didn't bother to shower until after I got my closet cleaned out.

@Garison,
I wish I had a Nintendo comforter.

@Funktastic,
I bet those suspenders are the shit!

@Hamza,
I used to sleep with them O:!

@Char,
No problem :P I live for memories.
