The mark of Atari is on my head!!!!!!!!!!!

[StanJr]

As long as you have it on good authority.

 

Rhino is short for Rhinoceros. There is no reason to lose the "h" when shortening it.

It is not the size of one's joystick, grasshopper, but how one wiggles it.

If there are any questions as to what a rhino is.....

 

Rhinos

 

Note: The joystick stuck to the middle of the forehead would simulate the horn of a rhino... or rhinoceros....which is in fact (from what I remember) made of hair!! (The horn that is) A rubber joystick part would I'd imagine make a great substitute however.

Substitute for what?

 

Don't be wigglin' your joystick...there are kids reading this board.

from my experience, it's usually the kids between 12-18 that use the most slang ..... so why don't you want to play with my joystick?

I tried this again today, as I was cleaning some joysticks I bought, but could not get the thing to stick to my head. I even tried wetting it first. It stuck for like a second, but not nearly long enough to make me a Rhino.

 

perhaps my forehead is not cut out to be a Rhino.

 

sigh..

[Stella'sGhost]

Then I rememberd!The night before I took the rubber thing on my Atari's joystick and used it as a suction cup on my head and ran around like a rino.Anyway, now I have the round mark from the bottom of the atari's joystick on my head.

 

The mark of Atari!

 

Either you have the mark of the chosen one, or you need to get out more.

[bcprs1]

I admit I have not tried this one, but I have another Atari mark that we all have suffered from. Mine is the less strange, but equally noticible Atari thumb- that blister that forms on your left thumb from playing too much <insert favorite shooting game here>.

I decided that I needed to match that blister on my right hand, therefore I broke out the nintendo and Punch Out!. I now have Atari thumb on my left, nintendo thumb on my right ......and.....and.....got it finally.....a joystick cover on my forehead

[SS]

This thread is just too damned funny.

 

I gotta tell you, the joystick on the head thing absolutely works and will definately leave a semi-perminate mark if left on too long. An "Atari-hickey", if you will. I recall doing this to my self in 6th or 7th grade; I was less than thrilled with the result at school the next day.

 

Stan (the man), you must have an unusually shaped forehead or else you just aren't getting enough air out of the shaft of the stick to create the proper vacuum effect. Wetting the end should, in theory, help so you're at least on the right track. What I want to know is, when you do get it adhered to your cranium for the desired "Rhino" look, who is gonna be your "Hulk" to rumble with? It's no fun to be a Rhino without somebody to whomp on. Or maybe, you could just stick the stick to your head, load up the "Thing" game on yer PS2, and yell out "IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME!" at random intervals while playing.

This reminds me of the time I was just a kid, and my little brother had one of those nerf basketball sets that had the suction cup on the hoop. He stuck it to his head one day on the school bus and kids were shooting hoops at it. When he took it off, he had a hickey on his forehead. Too bad the next day they took school pictures. You can't live something like that down when you have it imortalized in pictures.

[Lumpbucket]

When I was a kid, I stuck the rubber stick cover to my forehead as well but then I saw some consumer show on TV, where this guy had stuck a kids bath toy that sticks to the side of the bath to his forehead, and it had left a permanent mark! He wanted warnings put on them...

 

Anyway, that scared the crap out of me, and I didn't stick the atari thing on my head again. Well, not for very long anyway

[Atari-Jess]

maybe some of you guys dont understand,

 

when I continually suggested "rino" over rhino,

 

that was a joke,

 

I know rino is spelled incorrectly but Im using it as if

it was something different entirely.

 

cmon guys, :S

OH!! Yes, well, um, happy Monday, everyone. THWUCK (<--pulling joystick cover off forehead)

 

I find that this topic can be intelligently discussed, as long as we all observe the Rhino Mark of Atari phenomenon from an aloof vantage point. In the meantime, you might all be interested in the new collaborative book by me and Stan, entitled "Why There Is No God, But If There Is, He's A Rhino Who Doesn't Use E-Bay."

 

Now, turning our attention back to the rhino epidemic, I feel that it's important to view this objectively, keeping in mind that we're all adults, and that....oh, fuck it.

 

(THWUCK)

SNORT! SNORT! Woohooo!!!!

Damn. I thought *I* was the only idiot who ever did this. In junior high school, was at a friend's house. He had taken apart an Atari Joystick and was trying to "improve" it somehow. Anyway, I took the rubber sheath thing, stuck it to my big ol' high forehead and started running around screaming, "I'm a unicorn! I'm a unicorn!"

 

Seriously.

 

Anyway, my pal grabbed me and ripped the "horn" off my head" with a POP! He stared for a sec, them began laughing his ass off. I went to a bathroom mirror and saw a perfectly round hickie in the center of my forehead. I looked like I was Hindu. And it was there for *3 FREAKIN' WEEKS!* I caught a loooooot of hell from friends, family, schoolmates, co-workers, strangers, etc. Never did it again.

 

My mom has a picture of my head-hickie someplace at home. But even if I *did* come across it, I'll never post it. God, did that month suck...

[Chris++]

LOL....and it had to happen during middle school, right?

 

Jeez, except for the 2600 and my acquisition of Secret Wars #1, those were the three worst years of MY life, I don't mind tellin' ya.

 

A forehead hickey, even. And I thought having a big zit in the middle of my nose throughout most of 7th grade was bad.

Now that I think back, as well as sticking them to my forehead, I had some wardrobe doors with smooth painted finishes. A quick lick to the base of the rubber joystick cover, and it would stick fast! Fantastic. You could move it around the door and it would stay stuck fast.

 

It didn't serve any purpose, but i did it anyway... maybe you could use to hang something lightweight to it? A coat would be too heavy,... urmm... no I can't think of anything that would dangle off of it and not be to heavy... any ideas?

.. who immediately thought of the WRESTLER named Rhyno?
