Ok... So I'm at work, and a customer that I don't even remember asks me, "Aren't you the guy that likes those old arcade games?" My crummy day turned into bliss at the blink of an eye... He told me that he was driving in a nearby neighborhood yesterday (less than a mile away), and he saw two arcade games sitting by the curb awaiting 'bulky garbage pickup' that is going around right now... My heart sank. I had to rescue these two poor lost souls - especially since we had rain scheduled for the next day! - He gave me general directions, and I had an idea of where to search out... I took my 'on-the-clock' fifteen-minute smoke break to see if the games were still there... The manager never even knew I was gone... :grin: I found the house, and it turned out to be two Defender cabs, so I rang the doorbell and asked the lady if she minded if I pick them up later tonight... Promptly after returning from a successful recon mission, I enlisted the help of someone at work to haul them home for me. Here's my photo anthology of the evening: After we unloaded them both (Sadly, both the marquees were missing): [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/unloaded1.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/unloaded2.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/unloaded3.jpg[/image] Problem #1: Where to put them... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/garage1.jpg[/image] Had to pull the 'project car' out of the garage and had to stop it from rolling just in time to realize my careless placement of the two games on the driveway... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/near-hit1.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/near-hit2.jpg[/image] This called for a drink... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/smirnoff.jpg[/image] I took some pics of the guts of one of them (they both look pretty much the same on the inside, both appear to be complete) [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/monitor1.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/board1.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/powersupply1.jpg[/image] After a bit of re-rearranging, finally got the first one in... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/garage2.jpg[/image] That sucked, hauling it in with a dolly with flat tires... Good thing I found this item while making room for cabinet #2... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/foot%20pump.jpg[/image] Much easier! Got the second one in... [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/garage3.jpg[/image] Did a once-over with a damp rag on both of them, and behold! [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/cleaning1.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/cleaning2.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/cleaning3.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/cleaning4.jpg[/image] [image]http://home.earthlink.net/~lomotil/misc/Arcade/Defender/cleaning5.jpg[/image] Sorry for all the pics... I just got 'documentary-crazy' tonight... :grin:

I think I understand what you're TRYING to say... but the idiocy is really clouding it up.. by saying "unfuck" you want to be trying to be clever 'cause you'd never "fuck" me... good one.. but the 'un' before a word usually dosn't dictate don't or non, but to take back what was already done... observe my dick in your ass--fucking you my dick sliding out of your ass--unfucking you even tho this isn't totally acurate.. it's a lot less retarded than what YOU've said

But there is a guy that lives like 3 miles from here, regesterd sexual offended (pedophile) that has the biggest arcade collection I have ever seen... he has like 200 pinball machines, and 300 coin op's including neo-geo's, and skeeball machines, and whack a mole, all that shit
whats that neo geo game thats so awesome.. oh yeah.. bubble bobble or something? we played it so much that we even had a little song for the theme music... something like this "neo geo is the best, neo geo is the best; it is the best; it is the best, it is the best.. it is the best (uh-huh)" or something to that extent.. ok, ok, ok.. but was my family the only one who made up songs to the theme songs for video games? SNES on star road: I got past tubular, singing instant treeeaaasure, I got past past tubular, and it's was very hard. oh dear I've said too much.

Ready when you are, you arrogant nob.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Unfuck you...denotes the removal of ONE fuck that you have already had. So, if you had, for the sake of arguement, fucked three times, you now have only two. Since it was said to a virgin, he will actually have to get laid once, to be a virgin again. I guess you could say he's Extra-Virgin. In your case, Nursey, I could probably "Unfuck" you a thousand times, and still not make you a virgin again. Oh, and I'm not arrogant...I really AM better than everyone else.
there's lots and lots of real words in the english language... you should use them instead of trying to make up ones of your own... especially if they're as lame as that effort
thats pretty pimp Lomo. do i detect a hint of phosphorus burn-in? do those screens still work? that would be pretty neat to have a semi-arcade in your garage or 'your brand new GAME ROOM'" , what a fantacy. you could prolly get a old 486 and run MAME on one of those suckers.
