I got a Nintendo system for Christmas right after they first came out . It was what I asked for , but the game seemed a lot more fun in the commercials . The game I got was called Staring Contest . You played against Walter Mondale , the idea was not to blink your eyes before he did . Years later my mother admitted that she just taped an 8 by 10 photograph of Mondale to the TV screen , and the Nintendo machine was really just a shoe box with a cat toy for the controller . Anyway , don ' t ever get into a staring contest with Walter Mondale . He ' s REALLY good at that game . I only won once in the whole time I had the game . <| sep |> And honestly once you start dropping standards and instituting quotas in the name of political correctness , in fucking emergency response fields of all places , well people are going to die because of it .
