The one time I realized that Turbo Grafx = Turbo Graphics.

I admit, I only heard about the TG in passing and didn't even know at what point it came out. Call it oblivious to the system. I wasn't much of a gamer back then, but I was sort of surprised when I found out that NEC spelled it Turbo Grafx and it was pronounced Graphics.

I guess you can say, it blew my ____.

So...how did you pronounce it then?

[storino03]

Graph-X. Personally.

[SignOfZeta]

Hm...so you are autistic then. This explains a lot.

I used to work at a Soft Etc back in the day, and one time this hippie looking couple came in and asked me if I sold the "Sega Jennifer." My co-worker and I practically died on the spot and we kept going "what system did you want?" We finally got them a Sega Genesis but oh gawd that almost killed us! I could make a movie on all the characters we ran into.

What a moron.  Some things are best left in your head...  Next time you have a thought...just let it go.  Lol

Couldn't be any worse than a guy bringing a box full of Atari 2600 games to sell back in the early 2000s when I worked at Hastings. We had tell him either sell them on ebay or go to a pawn shop. What was really odd about the fellow he had a pet goat (it even had a bell too lolz) that shit on the floor and I had to clean it up.

When I worked in a call center (and this is a slightly tenuous link) we used to get all kinds phoning up.  One of them was a very Welsh man, who wanted help setting up a couple of Bluetooth headsets.

I introduce myself and he says: "Now me and my partner, we've both got blue teeth..."  'course he then realised what he'd just said, but I had to resist advising him not to chew pens.

Good times.  Also, for anyone who doesn't know what a welshman sounds like here's a call from a guy who's got no topping on his pizza:
