My friend just got a Redline for $50 from his brother, so we painted his old shitty, brake-less Diamond back gold with a green seat. It=Pimp

I was able to get a bundle deal of Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, and Legend of Zelda: A link to the past for twenty bucks. That was my only memorable purchase from Ebay. Other than that I was able to get a copy of Shadowrun for Sega for twenty five bucks with the instruction manual and the box all in very good condition.

That's where it starts and ends, chummer.

I got a tiny portable TTY phone for 15 including s/h, and a D.A.R.E. shirt for seven. I also got a lot of magnesium ribbon quite cheaply as I recall.

The bike i got was brand spankin new, they guy said he bought it and then realised he wanted a mountain bike instead. it's super light, and i cant even pull off a 180 spin fork glide cos the rear end flies up. heh,

diamondbacks arent that shitty.  and having no brakes doesnt really mean much. you gotta take a picture of that though, those colors sound awful together on a bike.

Where did you get that? Ever since we burned Magnesium Ribbon in science class i have wanted some sooooo badly to use as a fuse for my home made rockets. and also just to burn.

My best deal was a Apple PowerBook G3 333mhz in acceptable, working condition for $32. $20 of that was for shipping. I  popped a CD-rom in that baby and off it went (it runs Breezy-Badger Ubuntu as well as OSX)

oh jesus what a pain in the ass! breezy badger on PPC!!

He's actually got all sorts of fun stuff now that I think of it.

I never said diamondbacks were inherently shitty. Just that he has made his shitty. The rims are kind of screwed up, though he might be getting new ones, and the brakes aren't that much of a problem except to stop he puts his foot on the back tire and that puts a lot of unnecessary wear on it. That being said, both his tires are pretty bad and the handle grips are bashed up. It's also pretty small, but besides that everything could be fixed. Still as it is it's pretty shitty. Also we wasted Montana GOLD series cans on that bike which at $8 a can could easily have been replaced by $4 Krylon paint from the hardware store. As for the paint job, we didn't do it to make it look good.

Nobody in Canada gets the D.A.R.E. reference 'til I tell them about it (usually in between tokes). Still, the 'RESIST DRUGS AND VIOLENCE' part is excellent camouflage.

[trevelyn]

HAHAHA okay Tachyon, i forgot you probably didnt have D.A.R.E. in .ca

2-3 years ago I got Criss Angel Season 1 for $0.99; then A&E sends me a $5 gift certificate apologizing for some reason.  Bing bong.

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.
