Contra III 

The war the world forgot.

A kick ass game that dosn't mess around with emotions or try to be realistic. It's just pure action, what more games should try for these days !
I can't beat the first level of Contra III cause i play little pussy games like The Sims.

contra dancing 

a widely unknown type of community folk dance (at least among children/teenagers).

Simply explained as similar to square dancing, but the couples are arranged in lines. It's quite fun, actually, but no one would know it because no one knows of it.

Moves done throughout the dance include the do-si-do, hey, swing, circle to the left/right, star left/right, gypsy, ladies chain/curtesy turn, right-and-left through, promenade, etc.
Do you know what contra dancing is?

Uh... no?

No one does.
