BigWiger Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 (Quote from the doors just incase you diddn't know) Well I don't quite want the world, but I want the second best thing, a 4 switch Atari system. Do any of you know a site on the internet that sells them cheap (and don't say e-bay, I have tried.) Thanks :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble Kale Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Also a quote from Charlie and the chocolate factory, is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangles66 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Also a quote from Charlie and the chocolate factory, is it not? yes thats was where i first though of when i read the thread title. As far as finding a store that sells atari look in the phone book under videogames. you didn't mention where you are from so i can't give any specific info. In my travels all over north america, whenever I stop a motel i grap the phone book and look for stores that have games. I usually find at least one that sells classic games (also check some comic book stores). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 You mean .. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Is the quote from "Back Door Man" by the Jim and the Doors ? I cannot remember which song that is from ... Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 No... he means "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". @Bigwiger: If you do look again on eBay, just look at the "Buy-it-Now" auctions that are newly listed as once in a while an unsuspecting seller will list one with a low "Buy-it-Now" option...

tiggerthehun Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 LOL @ lost monkey! Gooses, geeses I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter At least a hundred a day And by the way I want a feast I want a bean feast Cream buns and doughnuts And fruitcake with no nuts So good you could go nuts No, now I want a ball I want a party Pink macaroons And a million balloons And performing baboons and Give it to me now I want the world I want the whole world I want to lock it All up in my pocket It's my bar of chocolate Give it to me now I want today I want tomorrow I want to wear 'em Like braids in my hair and I don't want to share 'em I want a party with roomfuls of laughter Ten thousand tons of ice cream And if I don't get the things I am after I'm going to scream I want the works I want the whole works Presents and prizes And sweets and surprises Of all shapes and sizes And now Don't care how, I want it now Don't care how, I want it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Yes, sung by the spoiled brat Veruca Salt, after whom the (unbelievably kick-ass) hard rock band is named. Actual veruca salt is a salt that one rubs on his warts (verucas) to make them go away; it's a rather old-fashioned cure. So the name of the character herself was a sort of pun. The Doors song quoted is "When the Music's Over." Awwwww yeah. (<-- Said like Chef) CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I always wanted to see a movie version of the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Those Vermicious Knids scared the crap out of me as a kid. But then, so did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Some TV show recently parodied it--I believe Family Guy--and after the scene on the boat, there was the line "This is a kid's movie?"

megamanical Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Oh yeah, I wanted to comment on the Willy Wonka thing too! (even though it's not Atari related). I thought Gene Wilder in that show was the scariest man ever! The Ooompa loomas were frightening also. I thought I was the only one that was scared of that show.. I still am!
