tom's journal from the summer of 1983

6/29/83

I finished my cours of three miles today. I was hot and tired. I felt good after I walked it off and hade my dringk of water. Not olny did I run three miles today but I also learned the third congigation in Latin today.

 

We finally find out the problem!

LITTLE TOM IS CONCENTRATING ON LATIN, AND SO LOSES ALL OF HIS ENGLISH SKILLS.

And as you can see now, when he doesn't work on his Latin, he speaks English just fine.

 

You need to take another pic.
This time a close up focusing only on the word "HADE'

 

just for you eeth.

Something like that really happened a few centuries ago, when those silly people thought Latin was the perfectest language evar!

 

I don't remember the little ghost things being so wimpy or happy, but that is awesome.

 

I think it is awesome that Tom learned Latin. How much do you still remember Tom?

 

cogito ergo sum and.... that's about it.

this was 25 years ago!

 

The origin of your tattoo? Could it be?

 

yeah, i think i've always felt sorry for poor clyde.

 

those ghosts on the cover of your diary look very acquatic to me, tom.

 

Couldn't help but awwww at your notebook cover.

 

Pacquatic.

 

6/30/83

To we went to town and hade a nice day at the Fallon Nugget and boy did it taste good. We finished our breackfast and went to the thrif store it was closed so we went on a walk and saw a prisonor, he was a big indian picking trash around the prison. We went back to the thrift store and got some books we got Huckleberry Fin, Treasure Iseland, Robinson Cruso, Alice in wonder land, Selected Essays, and Tresury poems.

 

Nice book selection. Did you read these books on your own or did your dad read them out loud?

 

he read them aloud. i think we got through tom sawyer, huck finn and alice in wonderland that summer.

 

I'm intrigued about that prisoner. He was can hunting? He ended becoming your rival? Can't wait.

 

Not to steal Tom's thunder or anything, but I don't feel the need for a second thread from 1983.
I now present my review of Donkey Kong.

I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that baord is board.

 

i wonder about something, eeth.
as a man who played donkey kong first and obviously has a clear recolection, what was it like to move on to super mario bros.?

 

It was hard at the arcade.
Once I had it for the NES there was no need to waste quarters anymore.

But don't forget, there were baby steps of difficulty between Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros.

Mr. Do, Smurfs, etc.

I loved Mr. Do's Castle

 

what did mister do do?

 

Mr.Do

Mr.Do's Castle

 

Thunder stealer!
