Everyday we are asked this question. I will tell someone what I do for a living and the first question is always, “but where do you get all this stuff”. To be honest I could never tell them the truth because they would never believe me and I was always scared of ridicule. I would always tell them I had wholesalers or I bought stuff on the Internet or garage sales. This would always hold them off long enough for me to change the subject to their job or family. After years of keeping this secret I am finally ready to spill the beans of how I get thousands and thousands of rare classic Nintendo Video games everyday.
It all started one day I was lost in my back woods about 7 years ago. My dog had run off and would not come back so I had to go in after him. I never walked in my woods before because of all the pricker bushes, they were everywhere. This time I decided to **** it up, stop being a puss and go get my stupid beagle.
It was late fall and most of the leaves were off the trees, I could see out pretty far but there was no sign of him. I stopped yelling because he is obviously not listening anyway and I felt it would be better to listen for the jingling on his collar. I walked about 2 miles out and still no sign of him. I could no longer see my house and I got turned around a few times so I didn’t really know if I had been walking in circles or not. I think I heard the old saying about someone who gets lost a lot that “he could get lost in his own back yard” or something like that. Well here I am lost in my own back yard.
Anyway, back to the story. I was lost in the woods looking for my stupid dog who was probably at home by now sipping tea and eating out if the butter dish. I had just decided to turn what i thought was back when I heard a noise. It was a loud, not thunderous mind you just a loud sound of someone that was all pissed off. It was a strange sound to hear out in the woods with no one around for miles. I followed the sound to a small clearing and a hole in the ground. A light shined out of the hole and the sounds were definatley comming for in there. I yelled down, I said in my suttle yet soothing voice “Yo F*$^ers, what is going on down there?”. Now this is where things get nuts so just stay with me. I hear a rumbleing down there and stuff comes flying out of that hole like a grenade just went off. And out of the whole come this… Now your gonna ask me if I’m serious and yes I am dead serious so don’t question it. Okay, out of the whole comes a giant “Frog Man”. Yes, a Frog Man, he had legs and sneakers like a man and actually everything else was like a man but he just looked like a Frog and I thought it would be cool to say a giant Frog man came out instead of some crazy dude that sorta looked like a frog. So, you were right to be skeptical. Here is a studio photo of him:
So, to finish up. The crazy giant old Frog man guy comes out of the whole and laughs at me. I compose myself and say “Listen dude, I’m sure your just lost or something and if you want to hang here a while with your frog wife and kids its cool, but I need you out of here by night time or I’ll call the cops.” He laughs again and says, and this I will never forget because it changed my life forever. He said, “never forget this moment because it will change your life forever.”, and he was right because it did and I didn’t. He took me down the hole, and oh when a giant frog man beast in your back yard woods comes out of a hole I do not suggest going down there with him. Actually I do but my lawyers said I have to have that disclaimer in so kids don’t follow and Frog men down holes.
Down in the hole he showed me what all the fuss was about. He took me down a long corridor, we had to be like 30ft below the surface because my ears were popping and my ears always pop at like 30ft. I know this from my previous deep sea adventures but that another story for another time. So, down the corridor we come to a room and there is a hole in this room that my new frog man friend tells me goes on almost forever. He tells me that whatever I wish for will fill this hole to the top. He said he has been here for 17,000 years using up the contents of this hole and it is now time to leave. Normally most people would not belive this story from the Frog man and call the cops and leave, but I being in similar situations believed this guy right away.
This was easy, I had one wish and I could fill this crazy giant hole with whatever I wanted. When I was a kid I thought if I had a million dollars I would buy as many 1 cent gum balls at the grocery store gumball machine and just lay around in them eating gumballs all day. But those are dreams of children, so I wished for the hole to be filled with old school Nintendo and other various Classic Video Games Games and systems and stuff like that. At that moment the hole was overflowing with video games and systems from all consoles. Super Mario 3, Contra, Megaman 1 through 6, Chrono Trigger and more. Every game system and controller filled in a hole in my back yard deep withing the woods. As soon as this happened the frog man slapped me in the face and said I am a F(*&ing idiot, something about human kind and mortallity and all that but all I was thinking about was playing Double Dribble and hitting threes all day long. I was like “Don’t judge me Frog”, what did you wish for? He said he had wished for love, peace and to be one with all that is and ever will be to be filled in that whole and he has spent all his days of those 17000 years in it. I laughed and said I think we both know who came up with the better wish. He smacked me again but I let him because he was old and looked like a frog. As I left to go back home I hired the frog man to work for me and we started www.DKOldies.com an online Classic Video Game store that has every game you could wish for, literally.
Now even though the Frog man died days later from being over 17,000 years old, he did leave me with dream of froggy goodness for all mankind. Before he took his last breath he did agree that this wish was good and that www.DKOldies.com would be good wishes and cheer to all that took a visit and this was also good.
