Casio, Still Ungainly After All These Years
Sometimes retro is cool. Sometimes it's sexy. Often it's neither. Take this Casio Retro Data Bank watch, for instance. It brings me right back to the days when the fastest way to be lame was to have a digital watch - especially a digital calculator watch. Instant girl-repellent.
And now that I'm all grown up and am happy to repel girls, I wonder if this isn't the sort of thing that will repel their hot gay brothers? You think to yourself, 'Hey, this could be cool - right?' And yet, in almost an exact parallel of your thought process 20 years ago, you'd be wrong. Again. Big time.

I definitely had a Casio Data Bank during my middle school/early high school days.
I was/am such a dork.
I used to wear one when I was like 8, but it got lost. A few years later, My dad got me a new one, but by that time, I was too embarrassed to wear it and felt bad...
Psh, you should be ashamed of yourself, Tiny. Nerds are hot. That watch is all kinds of fugly, but that's because it's on a metal band. Leather straps are so much better. Fact.
Feh. I had a Q*Bert watch. THAT was sexy.
