"cap". as in, the screen went out, it needs a cap, which costs 12 cents at radio shack.
Word misuse in the hobby and how it annoys you...

I've seen them on eBay for $2000 so I'm giving you a great deal at $1985. Here is the picture:
Rare. Prototype. Original. Vintage. All overused words to describe something that isn't any of the above.

I think the topic is fine and I agree with you about the arcades thing.Aw, come on, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just trying to make fun of crazy craigslist stuff like a lot of people do on here. I'm sorry if I came across as a douche, I just knew there were a lot of other "grammar nazis" here and thought this topic would be a fun discussion

It bothers me because it shows the person saying or writing it is ignorant. Arcade isn't special just because I'm in the hobby, either. Other dumb sayings like "my bad" bother me just as much.
I think one of the biggest problems in America is that we embrace stupidity. You are essentially saying its OK to be stupid because its easy. I blame you for rap music, The New Beetle and reality TV.
You can still fix this!

Is it me, or is the "Douche" used and manipulated by more men in this forum than any other forum in the world?
Like
Douche
Douchey
Douche-tastic
Super-Douchey
Douche-a-licious
Run of the mill douche
Average douche
Super Douche
ETC (you get the idea)
Can't we say something better as men? Not like I have anything seriously against douche itself, but geez man that's such a sissy feminine word!
There, I said my peace

Yolk. Seriously. Poultry has no place in monitor repair. Unless you're sacrificing a chicken to appease the Matsushita gods. Even THEN I doubt there's a yolk involved.
I can't STAND IT when someone calls it a yolk.

Been wanting to rant for years. You will all agree:
1.Listed on Ebay is far from selling price!
2.If you list a MMadness on CL for $500 some ass F*** will still offer you $350
3.Love the people that send you an email offer from the CL ad, when accepted, they disappear and do not respond to emails (then don't make the offer Dip S***)
4. 2 things that go hand in hand for the weenie whiners:
1. "I will take your machine I promise" (then never show) meanwhile I am passing on other offers
2. "NO FAIR I called first, and he sold it to someone else, waaaaah!" Some people like first come first serve HTF do you know you called first.
5. I also hate the Aholes that do promise it to you and change their mind when someone offers more and create a bidding war. One time........at band camp........(kidding) a local cheese dick was selling an AF, I bought it on the phone, told him I was driving 1.5 hours to come get it. Offered a down payment via CC. No need he said, hour later (almost there) he calls and says got a better offer. Pops back up on CL as a bidding op, so we all got together and bid it up to about $5000 then all bailed. Meanwhile he was probably spending the money on internet porn poundin his pud.
Back to what I hate
6.My sh** is top dollar, yours is worthless
7.Grail sounds cool............if your Jesus!
8.People bi***ing about high prices on CL.........dont buy them then, if you own it ask what you want.
9.CL police...you suck
10.Wanted ads for a game when there are 2 listed in the same town
11.Tire kickers
12. When you make a deal on a game, it is accepted by both, then buyer calls up and says would you do less cuz I changed my mind.
13. Deal is made, then they say don't have the money it will be a couple of weeks, just to never hear again. 2 month later they contact you again
14. Angry people like me!
Believe me I have fun in this hobby, sometime gets frustrated by all of the indecisive, wanna be's, who think they want a game and then their wife stomps their dick and they go run to hide. Message to them: "sometime my pu**y hurts too but I suck it up." Sorry here I go again.......I love the hobby, but writing this was alot of fun too!!!
SO to all you that have aver done any of this.....eat a bag of Sh**
Final thing I hate.....tell your stories all you want, but do not publically bash someones name on the forum (and this one is serious, the rest I am messing around in fun)

It bothers some people, let's just leave it at that.
This is a silly grievance thread for fun.
There doesn't need to be hostility on either end.
Oh and thanks for telling me to 'shut the fuck up' previously.
That wasn't super douchey at all.

I still don't really get NINTY? Does it mean a "Minty" Nintendo game or is it just some kind of slang for the word Nintendo? I don't really get how to prenounce it either, I guess I am either getting old or it's just a dumb word, maybe both

Most awesome post I've ever seen on here. That is my new desktop. I'm printing that out and taking that to my VFW.
