  2. Rare Copy of Super Mario Bros Sells For A Record The NES classic set a new standard for vintage game prices at auction last weekend. Unopened, rare variant of classic 1985 Nintendo game establishes new mark for highest-selling video game sold at auction $114,000 (£90,000), the most ever paid for a video game. Sold by Texas-based Heritage Auctions, the new holder was bought by a gamer upon the legendary game's release in 1985. For an unknown reason he never opened the game and kept hold of it. The cartridge sparked global interest ahead of auction as it had vintage cardboard packaging used before games were sealed with plastic wrapping. What makes this particular version so coveted? Well, it’s graded at a 9.4 out of 10, which means it’s in near-perfect condition, with everything sealed in the original packaging. It’s also a particular version of the US retail edition, which went through quite a few iterations over time. Here’s Heritage with a neat explanation of the so-called cardboard hangtab that makes this unit so rare: What’s the deal with cardboard hangtabs? one may, understandably, wonder. Cardboard hangtabs were originally used on the US test market copies of black box games, back before plastic was used to seal each game. As Nintendo began to further establish their company in the US, their packaging was updated almost continuously. Strangely, the addition of the plastic wrap came before the box cutting die was altered to remove the cardboard hangtab. This rendered the functionality of the cardboard hangtab completely useless, since it was under the plastic seal. There are four sub-variants of the plastic sealed cardboard hangtab box (this particular copy of Super Mario Bros. being the “3 Code” variant) that were produced within the span of one year. Each sub-variant of the cardboard hangtab black box, produced within that timeframe, had a production period of just a few months; a drop in the bucket compared to the title’s overall production run. In short, a cardboard hangtab copy of any early Nintendo Entertainment System game brings a certain air of “vintage” unrivalled by its successors. Heritage also outlines the broader picture in terms of the game’s value and nostalgia factor: it is the highest-selling game on the original NES console of all time, in addition to being the first entry in the Super Mario Bros. series and marking the first appearance of series villain Bowser. This game was on Pawn Stars years back. The seller went in with the founder of the grading company and he wanted…. ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Far cry from what he actually got! Rarest and most expensive video games. Here are their estimated values... "Gamma Attack" (Atari 2600): $20,000-$50,000 "Birthday Mania" (Atari 2600): $15,000-$35,000 "1990 Nintendo World Championships: Gold Edition" (NES): $15,000-$21,000 "Air Raid" (Atari 2600): $14,000-$33,400 "1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge" (NES): $14,000-$20,100 "Red Sea Crossing" (Atari 2600): $10,400-$14,000 "Kizuna Encounter" (Euro): ~ $5,400-$13,500 "Atlantis II" (Atari 2600): $5,000-$18,000 "Ultimate 11/Super Sidekicks 4" (Neo Geo): $4,800-$10,000 "King of Fighters 2000" (Neo Geo): $3,540-$6,000 "Tetris" (Sega Genesis/Megadrive): $3,000-$16,000 "Gauntlet" (Atari 2600): $3,000-$5,000 "Karate" (Atari 2600, Ultravision release): $2,500-$4,000 "Eli’s Ladder" (Atari 2600): $1,500-$1,700 "Elemental Gearbolt" Assassin’s Case (PS1): $1,400-$1,750

  4. Blondes Stereotype A ventriloquist is performing with his dummy on his lap. He’s telling a dumb-blonde joke when a young platinum-­haired beauty jumps to her feet. “What gives you the right to stereotype blondes that way?” she demands. “What does hair colour have to do with my worth as a human being?” Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to stammer an apology. “You keep out of this!” she yells. “I’m talking to that little *** jerk on your knee!”
  5. Sex Sports Lives Three women were sitting around talking about their husbands’ sexual prowess. The first said,: “I think my husband’s like a championship golfer. He’s spent the last ten years perfecting his stroke.” The second woman said: “My husband’s like the winner of the Indy 500. Every time we get into bed he gives me a couple hundred exciting laps.” The third woman was silent until she was asked: “Tell us about your husband.” She thought for a moment and said: “My husband’s like an Olympic gold medal winner in the 400 metres.” “How so?” one of the others asked quizzically. “He’s got his time down to around 43 seconds.”

    An Ode to the Worker

    An Ode to the Worker Yet without them, where would this world be? Their sweat and their toil provides for our very needs! Deadlines, timelines, die Lines, waiting in Line, killing time, texting, typing, printing, sorting. Another line, more lost time, tie too tight, shirt not right, ate too much for lunch, that’s my hunch. Shops close up, their keepers count their pay; What the morrow may bring, no one can quite say. Time for clean-up, time to make straight; Hurry, make fast, we shan’t not be late! Day after day, the process repeats; But its work must be done if they'll be food to eat, and bills to pay. The life of a worker lacks freedom to play. A job’s a job today, times are tough that way extra hours with no extra pay but the worker who's sweat is drawn and well earned; Will not be lost when the fire shall burn. While the suits and the moguls count their vast pay; Their fortunes are not but wind in the hay. The work is hard the pay is small so, take your time and sod ‘em all, Cause when you’re dead you’ll be forgot so, don’t try, and do the bloody lot. If you work and do your best, you’ll get the sack like all the rest but if you laze and bugger about, you’ll live to see the job right out. The day's drawing close, farewell to the sun. Bustle of day ends with work still to be done. While CEO’s keep setting goals, keeping us trapped within our holes, there went me shut my mouth and know my role. Now hang in there – before you know it retirement will be calling you, for time goes by fast. Or, on your tombstone, neatly lacquered these three words: “JUST BLEEDING KNACKERED”

    Birthday Poem MARCUS: “Happy birthday, Bob. I have a poem for you.” BOB: “Cool! Let me hear it!” MARCUS: “Don’t worry about the past — you can’t change it.” “Don’t worry about the future — you can’t predict it.” “And don’t worry about the present — I didn’t get you one.”

    Hiring People

    Hiring People Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said "someone may steal from it at night". So, they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "how does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So, they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "how will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So, they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Congress said, "how are these people going to get paid?" So, they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people. Then Congress said, "who will be accountable for all of these people?" So, they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Congress said, "we have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost." So, they laid off the night watchman.
