So I just carried a dinosaur of a tv with built in VCR out front and put a "Free" sign on it. Between the overall undesirability of the item and the low traffic on my road, its kind of a long shot...

I think mine was out for like a day and a half before it was taken.

there will always be at least one hoarder who will find it irresistible...stack it in storage with the other seven they own

This is my step dad, I think his train of thought was, "collect enough broken TV's and some day I'll construct a super television" Like some sort of CRT based Voltron. This is also the man that NEVER bought new extension cords, he waould just duct tape the crap out of them. The extension cord for the hedge trimmer looked like a set of rosary beads.

+1 for heady voltron reference

Anyone remember Silverhawks

All I care about at this very moment is...

My glorious cup of coffee, contemplative HK, and Grant Green's "Goin' West".

A foggy Sunday in the foothills of the great Adirondacks, making hobo toast for my wife and me.

Checking out the gun show in Saratoga Springs, from that spot right between the venue's front doors and the protesters, cuz that's how I roll.

I'm just south of you, that fog was thick this morning. It's just stating to lift now. I thought for sure they were going to cave and cancel that gun show.

Solidarity on all fronts, for better or worse.

My friend and I were just joking about his old Pontiac 6000 LE. He inherited it from his chain smoking mother and it had cloth seats, so it already smelled awful, then we added hangover farts to the mix. Every time you plopped yourself in a seat it would release a cloud of old hangover fart that was trapped in the foam. Often times you would see us at a stop light clawing at the glass trying to escape the stench of our own year old hangover filth.

They were just past my time but, my cousin had them."These were more my speed http://bp2.blogger.com/_ioFiB7_6rUI/SFZmU6wrJuI/AAAAAAAABnw/-EP0-MMfz5k/s400/3.jpg

these were pretty awesome too

My dog also thought those wrestlers were dog treats as well. My wrestling matches looked like a scene out of the Special Olympics. King Kong Bundy was actually one of my shortest figures as he was chewed legless from the knees down. Hulk Hogan had no hands, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts was just simply "Jake Roberts" as his snake was eaten.

"I swear, I was only looking up 'big gay cocks' so i could post them on a droog band's message board"

There's no doubt CPS would be called in. "His interests seem to include a drug band and resting his balls in places he shouldn't."

found link randomly in another venue...

the last word re apologies

I used to make games with them, like playoffs. It was one of the few times Buffalo or the Eagles won anything.

Yes. absolutely. They came in Honey Combs!

I'd get mine either from a vending machine at Price Chopper or the old Fay's Drug store. For as random as the draw was, I seemed to have pulled a ton of Oilers helmets, a sting of bitter disappointment I can still recall to this day.

"Darn it...Browns again! Mom!!!!! I need another quarter"!!!!

sound familiar?

HAHA!!! Exactly. I always thought it funny that the Browns helmet actually came with stickers. I mean sure, you needed the stripe for down the middle, but why the stickers on the side? "I'm just putting an orange sticker on a orange helmet, this just seems silly."

And you always have the one bum helmet who's face mask wouldn't stay attached on one side. It used to make me pissy when it happened to a cool team. "Aww man, not the Raiders."

Yup. always a dud in the crowd.

I remember having a shit-ton of Lions helmets. stupid lions. At least I had plenty of extra facemasks!

Also, god forbid you applied the sticker and it wound up crooked, that team was dead to me if that happened.

Lots of memories in this thread. I hit those machines with my daughter sometime. They aren't nearly as much fun these days.

I'll bet she gives great helmet...

I didn't have those but, I used to make my stuffed animals wear the ones that I got from make your own sundae. I had a stuffed Snoopy and those would fit him perfectly. The baseball helmets fit perfectly as well.
