So when I was like 9 or 10 years old, around the time that The Legend of Zelda cartoon came out, we had just gotten back from a trip to see my cousins in Oklahoma, where I beat Zelda II for the first time, I had the most vivid dream I've ever had in my entire life. I was transported inside the Legend of Zelda (bet you didn't see that coming).

I still remember a lot of it. I remember that my cousins and my parents were some of the characters I met in the game. I remember fucking up some ghosts in a graveyard, blowing up a wall and walking into a cave to get some arrows, traveling across a lake in a raft, walking through a waterfall to find a dungeon, killing some octarocks. It was pretty realistic for beaing a dream about a video game and it actually went on for what felt like hours.

Anyway, at one point I got to a castle and inside there was a nintendo console. I remember pulling out the cartridge and putting in another one. When I walked outside I realized that it was a mistake because I was no longer in The Legend of Zelda but I was in a space ship in the Alf video game (which I've never played and honestly am not really sure as to whether it exists). Anyway, it sucked and I woke up for the day soon after that.

I bring up this dream because this is kind of like that but with more swearing (I think).

So the Onion A.V. Club linked this video which I found both amusing and kind of creepy:



Anyway, if you go to youtube, there's a whole bunch of videos of The Rock-afire Explosion performing modern pop songs. I think the cool part of this for me is that:

a) I didn't know that there were any more Showbiz Pizza joints around (they were all converted to Chuck-E-Cheese's here)

b) All of the Chuck-E-Cheese's I've been to in the last couple of years got rid of the animatronic shows and just have a bunch of TVs (which blows ass by the way) - I'd assumed that they'd all gone that route

Sure, the pizza tastes like rubber on cardboard, but I might be persuaded to spend a night at a Showbiz if I could watch this kind of shit.
