  1. I don’t get how they can say “…Wheaton exclaimed.” when your statement didn’t end in an exclamation mark.

  3. LOVING all this praise for Nic Cage. This whole thing reads like Reddit’s demo, but without any dickbutt.

  9. this glimpse of you at 17 is interesting; you don’t say whether you agree with it. i could totally see you stirring things up in the house; I would totally vote for you. i like you and think you’d bring a nice authentic touch to the place. you’d make it a whole different playing field. i suspect quite a bit of f-bombing might occur though, do you think? when i was 17 i quit high school and moved out on my own for the first time. after attending about 17 different schools i didn’t really feel connected with school and was just totally over it. i now have a couple of degrees though, so i suppose it turned out ok. i loved nintendo too…

  10. I read the line about wanting to join the House of Representatives and the first thing that came to mind was “Mayor Goldie Wilson!” Not sure why, but I’m sticking with it.

  14. click to embiggin I say Mr. Wheaton your use of the english language amazes me. lol lol Better to make them under estimate us yes lol lol geek on Sir 🙂 lol lol 🙂

  16. How did that hockey game go?

    It’s pretty amazing that we all learned to blow the dust out of our NES cartridges. I mean, without the Internet to share our experiences, we all individually arrived at the same solution.

  17. If you’re going to run for the US House of Reps make sure to give us a lot of advance notice so we can all move to your district and vote 😉

  19. Hey, 1989 was peak Cage.

    That was post Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, Vampire’s Kiss, and Peggy Sue Got Married. But pre Wild at Heart. Wil was right on the money because Cage was Jordan then.

  20. Wil, it seems you have been delving into your past a lot lately. Either you have you been cleaning or revisiting or both. All are good for you, and I know it is fun for us. It is nice to appreciate the important things in life whether in the present or past. I am a non-linear being so…just kidding. I wish.

  21. Wil. You. Me. My house. Year 2038. End of the world 32-bit style. Bring the NES deck, NHL cartridge, and your latest micro brew. I’ll supply the munchies, robot servants, doobies, and Patrick Stewart impressions.

  22. I think you should link to this when the trolls are all, like, you don’t like the Kings, man! You’re just a poseur/fair weather fan! Do you even know anything about hockey? Or, better yet, just keep ignoring and/or blocking them. 😉

    1. My husband had a letter published in Nintendo Power. He wrote about how much Yoshi sucks. Although I adore Yoshi, the letter still made me laugh and I’m proud of him for having a bit of writing published.
