"Honey I tried to sell the arcade games, I swear..."

This. All day.

You have no idea how much 'could care less' annoys me.


I know eh. Remember Bif...
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here".
I always thought that this extreme example was an attempt to broadcast to people who are prone to misusing such phrases just how stupid they sound to everyone else. I don't think it worked. In my experience, you can correct them all day long or smack them with a shovel and neither action would make any difference. "Stupid is as stupid does" as Mr. Forrest Gump would say.

It's ultimately just a little thing but when people use so called common phrases incorrectly, it just grates on my nerves. Misuse of double negatives is pretty common. The grammar used by some people is so remarkably mutilated that I wonder if they are mentally handicapped, been on drugs their entire life, or have just tried so desperately to fit in with the cool crowd for so long that they literally don't know the difference anymore.

I also hate it when people use the word "like" a few times in every sentence. It's a super bad habit, like saying "um" all the time. I've heard some people who start almost every sentence with "Well, basically, blah blah blah". You might think that they believe they are so smart that they feel that they have to simplify everything they say so that we simpletons will understand them. I think that it's most likely just filler words that they use to give themselves more time to figure out what they're going to say. Some people just say "Uhhhh..." or "essentially" or "literally" or something like that. Another sad reality is that some people actually type the same way they talk. I read a resume recently that came into HR with a job application that read "I'm, like, really good with people? So Yeah. And people really like me. I think working for your company would be, like, awesome." The paper circulated the office for a day or so, just for a laugh, and then went into file 13. On the plus side, the person didn't say "working for you would be totes cray cray". Where's that dam shovel...

One of my favorite Stewie quotes...

The sellers rules don't specifically say anything about asking for a package deal.

I am prepared to contact him and let him know I'll pay $45k for the games if he throws in two other items he has on eBay: One F-86 Sabre jet engine and the two Nashville warehouses he's been trying to sell since 2014.

I mean it's already a great deal, on the warehouse it says "We have invested more then $1,300,000 dollars, our loss is your gain" and they are only $295k now. How could you go wrong?

Anyone want to go halfsies with me?

You don't want the drill with attachments? ;)
 
he is probably some noob who actually paid $2,500 per and is trying to get his money back on the sale.

The thing that kills me about the "6 piece Cordless Drill Power Brush Scrub Sinks Kitchen Pots Pans Shower bath" is that he has more than 10 available?

I really want to know what happened here... Did he try to open the Uber of Dishwashing and the plan fell through?

Maybe they for the sabre engine but it just didn't work out
 
The Egret 3 is even more proud, with 22 watching in anticipation:

I think they misspelled "regret". Pretty tempting when you consider the $100 in eBay Bucks.
 
Here's what I don't understand.


Can you ship them to me? No, you have to arrange all shipping
Can I send you the money and I will have a shipping company come and pickup? No, you have to come to Phoenix see the games and if you like them you can buy them


Am I missing something?
 
This is just dumb. If I was going to spend 45K on games, they had better come with their own arcade building complete with blacklights, arcade carpeting, a vintage 80s Coke machine fully stocked with only Cherry Coke and a ROWE BC 3500 loaded with Namco Pac-Man tokens.
 
Even among the exuberant (every game is worth at least $1000.00) crowd, that's only 18,000.00. How the hell did he get to 45,000.00?

That is exactly what I was thinking (except Cherry Pepsi :) ). I love my Joust and Stargate, but if I could get $2500 each for them, they would be gone in an instant as I am sure the same with everybody else.
 
I have had my Pac and Ms. Pac for 14 years. They can't leave until I am dead no matter how much money would be offered. Even after I pass, my wife will probably keep at least one of those two, even if it means it is just collecting dust.

Oh, and throw in a phone booth for outside, too.
