10 To The 4th Power

Joe: After factoring in leap years, I have determined that June 24th of next year will be my 10,000th day on Earth.
Joe: this is huge.
Ed: Have you factored all the time you've spent midair?
Joe: No. Time zone differences do not abide.
Ed: no no, I mean not literally on the earth
Ed: in the air
Ed: like jumping
Ed: or falling
Ed: or that stride mid-run where nothing is touching the ground
Joe: 10,000th day since being born
Ed: ok
Ed: what you really should wait for is the day that the number of days on earth passes the number of Phillies losses
Ed: then you become a real man.
Joe: That'll be a while.
Ed: Phillies have lost 10098 games.
Joe: when is your birthday
Joe: oh the 10th
Joe: ok
Ed: yeah
Joe: 3/28/2009 for you
Ed: for 10k or for10098
Joe: for 10k
Ed: dude, 10k is weak. Phillies losses is the real determinator
Joe: that is stupid.
Joe: determinator isn't even a goddamned word
Ed: it is now
Ed: DISCO SLAM

New Word from the Old Days

double-noogie reverse:
1) a maneuver in a video game where you manipulate the game's crappy controls to execute an otherwise obvious move that puts you in a better position.
2) a move so obvious that the opponent doesn't expect it.

Etymology:
In the N64 game Golden Eye, the controls were a little tough. You used the analog stick to move front/back and look left/right. You used the C-buttons to move left/right and look up/down. The overlap of translational and rotational commands was confusing to most, and since the game was basically the first successful FPS for a console, no one was quite used to the scheme.

If you were being shot at from behind, you were pretty much dead. Turn around and fight, and unless the guy had a Kolb, you were dead before you got a shot off. Keep running and he'll just pick you off*. There was one move that worked: At a corner, wait for your opponent, then run past him as he ran around the corner. Then as he turned around to come back you turn around and pass him again. Your opponent would be confused and you'd get away scot free.

It's called the double-noogie reverse because you reverse twice and give the opponent a noogie each time you pass him. Or at least that's what I decided when I coined it in the early 90's.

* Unless you knew the trick of moving forwards and strafing right while facing right of where you wanted to go; the two movement actions added and you got the combined trajectory and went faster than your opponent.
