This piece of plastic is rife with bedazzling potential. It’s hurts a little bit to think the person that invented this is probably a millionaire now.

Not just a watch. Not just a video game console. It’s both! That’s right, BOTH! Because when you combine the power of knowing what time it is with the power of Mario jumping down a tube…You become an unstoppable force. Or at least that’s what I imagine the promotional copy for the Nintendo Game Watch sounded like.

Dinky cars and, more importantly, the mats you used to play with them on. They looked like a city and had little roads and buildings on them and you could drive your cars from point A to B. I remember my friend had one and I would always go to his house to play dinky cars cause of a little peice of carpet. Win.
I sometimes still prefer pushing my Hot Wheels along cloth roads than driving for realz. That’s not weird…right?

Here’s a novel idea: underwear that makes you feel like a superhero in bed. That came out wrong.
Wikipedia has a list of all the styles, ranging from DC and Marvel comic book heroes to Star Wars to Ms. Pacman.

Tony D: Hey Bobby H, did you just get a new watch?
Bobby H: I did. It’s a calculator watch.
Tony D: What’s that?
Bobby H: It’s a watch that’s also a calculator.
Tony D: A calculator and a watch in one? That’s awesome.
Bobby H: That’s right. It is awesome. Just give me a couple of numbers and I can add them together.
Tony D: Okay, 238 plus 459.
Bobby H: Alright, let… me… just… punch that… in—
Tony D: 697. Just figured it out in my head.
Bobby H: Oh. Well, I just — oh, there it is. 697. Anyway, give me some more numbers to add.
Tony D: 912 plus 56 plus 108.
Bobby H: Oh, three numbers. Okay. Well, let’s see…
Tony D: 1076. Damn. I’m pretty good at math.
Bobby H: Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
Tony D: What time is it?
Bobby H: What?
Tony D: What TIME is it?
Bobby H: Oh, I don’t know. This doesn’t tell time.
Tony D: Oh… are sure?
Bobby H: No. I just don’t know how to get to the clock feature.
Tony D: So it’s really a calculator that’s hard to use.
Bobby H: Basically.
