Albert Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you're from the US, then yes, it is strange. Well, it was more like, "Oh yeah, tomorrow is Memorial Day, the Post Office is closed." Not, "WOW, I never knew the Post Office was closed on Memorial Day!" ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1hatman Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Loose or boxed? I have a TON of extra, loose Intellivision games, and I will be greatly supplementing those that were originally included in the Grab Box (it's not really a bag, so if you're expecting a bag, you will be disappointed). I'd include some AtariAge 2600 homebrew games, but I know you guys won't enjoy those at all. ..Al Loose, I have empty boxes for all of those. Some things I need and some I send to new Intellivision collectors when I complete extras. Mostly I need a bunch of manuals and overlays but it's too many to list and I'm not actually on the Grab Bag list. Thank you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you though I'll see what I have, although I cannot guarantee someone else wouldn't "grab" those games if I include any of them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheel Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 If you're from the US, then yes, it is strange. I guarantee you that it's not. I'd be surprised if more than 10% of the US population is aware of when the post office is open or closed. Probably about 2%, if you ask people under 30. Which is at least a third of the country.

Probably about 2%, if you ask people under 30. Which is at least a third of the country. I've known that Memorial Day is a federal holiday since kindergarten. Federal holidays mean no mail delivery. No mail delivery equates to the post office being closed. All of this, I've known since my kindergarten teachers taught me about the holiday.

Goody for you; if someone was quizzing you on your personal knowledge of federal holidays or postal hours, those facts might be relevant. Please stop being a pompous douche all the time. Not everyone has spent decades waiting by the mailbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheel Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I would've thought that American holidays were a part of the social studies curriculum for every American student. And I would have thought that not spending beyond your means would have been as well. Look, there's no need to constantly resort to personal attacks simply because someone thinks/acts/behaves differently than you do. Congrats! You've memorized when mail delivery happens. Not everyone is going to. In fact the majority probably don't really care enough to think about it. Hardly anyone even goes to the post office with any regularity anymore. We're not living in 1976 anymore, and most of us are more than a couple of decades removed from social studies classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
