    A vet clinic near me has a sign out front displaying puns that they swap every once in a while. My favorite is, "I didn't choose pug life; pug life choose me."

    As far as computer games, I played a lot of text adventures on the IBM PCjr (usually ranked worst PC ever in polls lol) but I would be repeating other comments here. Instead I will mention the Fairchild Channel F video game system and games since that's the oldest I remember (although I heard there was Pong in the house, I was too young to remember playing it). The Fairchild had a drag racing game, a casino game with a few different kinds of poker, a tank game and similar Berserk-style alien invasion shoot-em-up. Several others (12 total) on the first EPROM game carts. The joysticks could be pushed, pulled, twisted, and moved forward, back, left and right which is like nothing ever except in a Cronenberg movie. Very cool for the Seventies!
