    One of my most favorite cherished childhood memories was going to this pizza place with these 2 brothers and they spent the entire car ride talking about Battle Toads. Then we got there, headed for the arcade, and in like seven minutes they were out of quarters. Fuckin' Battle Toads just deflated those two boys. Poor guys. Still laugh about it.
