"I thought she was a virign. It hurts to be lied to."
-Jeremy [Wedding Crashers]
That was how I felt yesterday at Sharon's house. I haven't been to Sharon's house for a very long time (since her renovations) and when
Mack, Annie and I dropped by at night I was surprised to find in her basement a foosball table and a Nintendo system all hooked up and ready to go. Having had one of those gaming systems way back in elementary, I felt akin to the many games she had including ninja turtles and Mario Brothers. I finished Mario Brothers many times and although I was a little rusty, I would stilll say I'm pretty decent and quick at the game. Wrong. When Sharon took the controls I was blown away. Have you seen the video where some guy finished super mario brothers in eleven minutes? Thats how Sharon played it. She knew all the hidden coins, passages, shortcuts and played without a single bit of hesitation. It was even more impressive when she played the last level which was a maze and unless you take the right passages and tunnels, you would be stuck in an infinite loop. At one point,
Mack even caught her bobbing her head to the Mario tune. Crazy! Definitely another side of Sharon I've never seen! The only thing I didn't do was turn on her computer. At this point, I wouldn't be too surprised to find Team Fortress Classic loaded on her computer!
*Entering the last level in Mario*
Sharon: "The last level is especially hard because its a maze. I don't know if I remember it."
*One minute later without taking a wrong turn she finishes the game*
