Those guys are horrible. i brought some wico atari joystick and they told me 2 dollars. False advertising!
So, if i see some pie-headed fellow at the market, i'll be sure to throw one of those many decorative katanas they sell there at it.

I bought myself two new balisongs when I was in Virginia City for the Fourth of July parade today. Didn't realize so many of the stores there carried them! Cheap ones, but they're neat nonetheless, and they were quite reasonably priced. Couldn't pass them up, and one of them's already stabbed me.
I found a BEAUTIFUL copy of Sgt. Pepper's in mono at an antique store, too. They seemed to know it was worth SOMETHING, as they wanted $60 for it, but since my poor condition copy was worth $100 several years ago I'm almost 100% sure I could turn a substantial profit on it immediately. But I won't- - soon as I got home I stuck it in a plastic cover on it and put it on my wall.
I also bought myself a beautiful American Indian anthro wolf t-shirt. Saw it and fell in love with it so I couldn't leave it behind.

According to Wikipedia:
"According to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as American Indians or Indians."
Also, the aforementioned shirt.

The one on the bottom I bought from an Australian man. $13. The one on the top I got at the same store I bought my furry shirt. $10.
I guess you still haven't heard about me. XDDK said:I thought palmer was our only furry
Since my camera is now missing you'll have to live with a crappy webcam picture.ShockSlayer said:

They are pretty cool, yeah. Both decent flippers, but the one on top is hard to control. Slick finish on the weirdly-shaped handles meant I got stabbed with it as soon as I got home D:
The shirt was probably my favorite purchase, though.

Super famicom, 2 controllers-$25
From some laptop seller at the flea market. I wonder if this will work on my TV...

Composite should work, as far as I know. I think RF requires some weird high-number channel on an NTSC-U TV.

Double post!
Went to Goodwill today and this followed me home:
It's basically a dedicated email computer for old people from 1999. You hooked it up to a phone line and it dialed out every few hours and synced with your service provider's POP or SMTP server. Runs off a 9v adapter (which was still in the random box o' AC adapters, amazingly) or three AAs. There's also a parallel port on the back for printing.
Still works!
Keyboard works too!
It's still full of someone's old email. (Nobody ever erases anything before they donate it...) Guess they weren't too happy with the service.
Wait you mean not only is it an email appliance but it's a CALCULATOR too?!
Oh well time to tear it apart!
Not much stuff on the back of the board...
Motherboard glory shot.
It's pretty useless as-is, but it's got a nice LCD pixel display, mini keyboard, and guts to play with. I'm thinking maybe it could become a portable terminal emulator with a Propeller or AVR, once I work out how to make the LCD do my bidding.
e: Whoa nice pink image artifacts, Shaky the Camera Guy. That will teach you to mix incandescent, fluorescent, and daylight.
e2: From what I can tell the CPU is a custom z80 and the screen has a resolution of about 330 by 128. Stumbled upon a built-in hex viewer, which is kinda weird...
