Mini-Bash: Daddy, do you like herpes?
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Herpes.
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Yes, do you like him?
Me: Him?
Mini-Bash: Yes, Herpes. The swimmer. In the Olympics.
Me: Herpes in the Olympics?
Mini-Bash: For America.

Me: Yeah, Herpes is a great swimmer.
In Japanese, "Phelps" is pronounced "Ferupusu" (フェルプス). And "herpes" is "Herupesu"(ヘルペス).
Wanted to mention this: After the arcade feature I wrote on Friday, I got sent some links for U.S. arcades. Got a link for The Game Grid Arcade in West Valley City, Utah. Buddy Travis Hudson sent a link for Barcadia, but pointed out that "it's less of a homage to classic arcade gaming, and rather a nightclub that uses arcade games as a trendy schtick." Seth over at Capcom posted a quick list as well. Feel free to add others in the comments section.
