BeerGnome Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 LOL at that last part. Sorry here is a better understanding. Now I'll call it party 1, and part 2. Original Plan: to make a diversion, while a friend of mine TPs someone. Party 1 included me, and 3 friends which we were all going to go TP one of the members in the crews's ex's. -This party was a distraction, for one of the members in the party was getting TP'd as we do our TPing job. Part 2 inculed one friend. This party was to go and TP one of the members in Party 1, while he was distracted. In the END: I get 8 NES games and 2 controllers for running about a mile in 1 in the morning to go and be a distraction. Sorry if that was a bit confusing. so, party of the first part Tp's a house in order to distract the victim of the party of the second part? as in just a general secondary Tp'ing? or was the victim of the party of the second part the instigator of the party of the first part? see.. it would be the utmost of general hilarity if that the individual that Tp'd their ex would come home after a night of petty vandalism to see that while they were out committing this act, they had also fallen victim to the same petty vandalism. other wise, its just random chicanery. practical jokes are one thing.. but a good prank must be thoughtful, and afford the most mind fuck for the buck. case in point.. the new brewer at my shop decided it would be silly to place a bottle of dish soap on my lines outfeed convayer for the case packer to find.. me and the packer took the bottle and hid it immeditly.. when "mike" came back for the laugh we pleaded ignorance of a any bottle of saop ever going down the line.. "mark is yelling at me over the din of the line " HE'S ASKING ABOUT SOAP!" "SOAP!?" "SOAP!" so I grab a spray bottle filled with detergent and hand it to him... "SOAP!!!" "NO! THERE WAS A BOTTLE! DAWN!" me and mark look at each other and shake our heads in befuddlement a couple of momnets later.. Mike has a flashlight and is peering into the mounting pallot of cased up beer bottles, hoping to find the packed up bottle of soap. the bottle has now vanished, presumably packed into a case of beer... three weeks later I give the bottle to one of my Distribution drivers.. keep in mind that this particular driver happens to be the guy who played "the punisher" on WWE in the late 80's, The man is still HUGE! and wears a kilt at all times.. don't fuck with the giant man in the skirt.. the three weeks later gave enough time to allow for the buzz about the missing bottle to subside, I'e' forgot about, and to give a plausable amount of time for if a bottle of dish soap had been packed into a case of beer, this would be a the logical turnaround point for it to rear its ugly head.. Tom had great fun with it.. one morning.. out of the blue.. Tom came up on the mike and sold it.. in the story the bottle was found on a remote C-drop.. and was the only case that was sold.. considering that the case was short because of a GOD DAMN DISH SOAP BOTTLE, he had to take the whole thing back to the ware house, swap the case out with a GOOD ONE, and on the way back out the delivery van broke down.. IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, at rush hour! it took the damn AAA 3 hours TO GET THERE!!! and he didn't get home that night till midnight because SOMEONE WANTED TO PLAY A STUPID JOKE!!! well.. you can just imagine a former prowrastler selling this poor little guy down for his inconsiderate tom foolery.. when mike was sufficiently scared shitless and dejected.. we said.. "ahh we're just fucking with ya.. its been here all along.. welcome to the team.." just so y'all know.. Mike took it in stride and is a lot more comfortable around the joint.

Uzumaki Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Found an RCA Studio II console but no power supply, switch box, or any cart. Only $0.99 for it. Also found an USB ZIP250 drive for $0.99 as well. Left behind a SCSI ZIP250 with no power supply, a few Genesis sport carts, Wii Wi-Fi adapter, and a PSX controller with a badly chewed cord.

Thought it was worth $5.00 Is that thing made by a company in Waco (or perhaps called Waco)? I have a couple of Waco machines that kind of resemble that device. They're kind of neat old games - very interesting stuff going on inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Boxed Saturn $27.99 (passed) It's a bit high, but I'd have jumped on that Saturn. I think that I've only ever seen 4 Saturns in the wild, three of which I picked up (one was some kind of insane cash, and one is sorta broken...). There are some swell Saturn games out there. I've been playing Playstation lately (I just got a pile of cheap games recently - never played the system when it was out), and I seem to recall the Saturn's graphics being a little bit better? Then again, some of the last Playstation games were looking pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, some of the last Playstation games were looking pretty good. Well, I probably would've picked it up, but I've already got three of them. All purchased loose for around $5-$8 each in the wild. Although I still don't have the proper hookups for audio/video, I've been using a hacked cable that seems to fit. In fact I'm listening to Guns N' Roses Lies on one right now watching the little starship fly around the screen. I may take pity on it, however, and go back and buy it. At least it has a proper hook-up cable and another controller for my collection. Not to mention the box, even though its a bit beaten up. This would probably be my fourth as well, the first three I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a few PC games like Hearts of Iron 1936-1948 (a WWII sim). Also got an original Gameboy, 2 carts, and a charger for mere pocket change. Here's a pic of a recent handheld that I got at a yard sale for $2. (check out the soda stickers !) I also received some excellent Vectrex games from jboypacman. Thanks for a great trade!
