July Bombing...a Red, White and Blue Extravaganza!

[Blackhorse]

I love the Muppets. I think they actually wrote and performed 'Under Pressure' first...and Bowie just copied them.

What sort of monster doesn't love'em? And hell, I've got five bucks that says Bowie is a Muppet. I submit this archival footage into evidence (just don't stare directly into the bulge or you'll go blind):

One of my childhood Christmas's right there, only replace "Nintendo" with "Commodore."

My question to you all is. Why would you pick me to blow up?! Who ever recommended me for a target speak up. I've got personal words to say to you!

You were a target?

Huh, beats me. 8)

 

[GuitarMyFriend]

Rob I thought it had something to do with you... Lol.
My Childhood Christmas was about the same, but replace Nintendo and Commodore with, POKEMON CARDS!!!!!!

Those who had you as a target were only following orders. :twisted: And I'm sure the bombs will be dribbling in for a while! :bom: (You're likely to need a bigger corner after this)

Ah the Commodore days.

I thought I was the cat's meow when I upgraded to the C-128. Twice the memory, faster processor, and the 1571 Floppy Drive was double-sided.

My only claim to fame back then was the Audio Patch Cables I made for the Commodore machines. I used a Radio Shack DIN plug and 3-conductor cable. Plugged into the back of the Commodore and had dual RCA plugs on the other end - for hookup to a Stereo or Preamp/Amp. Of course it was Mono sound, but at least it fed both the left and right channels.

The games sounded so much better than they did on the stupid little TV Speaker. Man I sold a bunch of those things. Of course I practically lived at Radio Shack from about age 12 on. 8)



Anyway, package (bomb) out for delivery! :twisted:

Ah yes, the C64. Sweet little rig that was with its disk drive that was bigger than a shoebox.

 

[DrumsAndBeer]

Do you guys remember this C64 game? I will certainly never forget it.

We must have either nuked the other target, or he is weeping so strongly that they can't use their keyboard. Who would leave town during a bombing run? I have

 

[Blackhorse]

Target Number One has not left town, that I know of...he's had direct hits on his bunker.

Wha?! Did you turn around and go back to process again? Maybe they didn't like the fact that it ticked.

They only promise DC. Getting Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is a bonus.

And then this played in my head.

 

[Blackhorse]

Put on some early Joni Mitchell...'The Circle Game'!

Here is another possibility. Depending on the location, a parcel will be marked as delivered by USPS but the recipient won't receive it until the next day.

 

[MisterE]

So the other target is still AWOL?

Maybe we had an intelligence glitch or something. I mean, what, working? Pfffft. What kind of excuse is that?! :suspect:

I GOT 8 HUGE BOMBS IN THE MAIL TODAY! I got tobacco, I got pipes, I got more tobacco, I got matches, I got more tobacco, I got a sweep pipe stand and tamper, and More tobacco!!! I got alot of sentimental meaningful things from you guys, which means you must have done some research or read my posts with more than just a desire to read. I love you guys! I'm not sure I can handle much more, and monday is going to take forever to get here. I'm inviting my pipe friends over to help me sample!!! You're all fantastic, and my girlfriend is going to frame all the notes that I got along with packages to put in my pipe corner. Once again, I love you all. Here's some pictures...

The four packages I missed yesterday. (Way too excited about the other packages to take pictures sorry)


All the goodies (Minus the pipe rack and tamper and photo which I will be posting a picture of later)


Close up on the pipes (You see the awesome pen I got that looks similar to my Gramps desk pen)


Some of the Tobaccos (Thanks to the one who sent me the controller, it's going on my shelf, soley for the reason of confusing people)


All in all, I was a little excited!!!


Thanks alot guys! I'm not one for the mooshy stuff, but it means alot! Y'all done good!
