when i worked at compusa a woman came in asking for something to connect her sons xbox 360 to the screws on the back of their tv i couldve told her to google for a vhf transformer and an xbox 360 rf adapter but i had a feeling even doing just that would pose major hurdles for her so i said she would need a new tv she looked so sad at that news but i have a feeling thats not the biggest problem she had at the time  Fredrik1 posted:Using an emulator for retro gaming is just bad. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 13, 2015 |

If the tv is old enough to have dials, I believe a lot of them used gold for the contacts which you can melt and sell.

Jackie, remember when we watched Memento on that Sylvania? I wanted to ask you if you'd get a tattoo with my name on it, and I imagined you said no, because how could you ever forget my name? I didn't say that because I was shy. But I still remember how you didn't say that, Jackie, and it still warms me.

But I still remember how you didn't say that, Jackie, and it still warms me. My love for you allows me to pray to the spirit of eternal beauty and tenderness mirrored in your eyes or fling you down under me on that softy belly of yours and gently caress you up behind, like a hog riding a sow, glorying in the very stink and sweat that rises from your arse, glorying in the open shape of your upturned dress and white girlish drawers and in the confusion of your flushed cheeks and tangled hair. It allows me to burst into tears of pity and love at some slight word, to tremble with love for you at the sounding of some chord or cadence of music or to lie heads and tails with you feeling your fingers fondling and tickling my ballocks or stuck up in me behind and your hot lips sucking off my cock while my head is wedged in between your fat thighs, my hands clutching the round cushions of your bum and my tongue licking ravenously up your rank red oval office. I have taught you almost to swoon at the hearing of my voice singing or murmuring to your soul the passion and sorrow and mystery of life and at the same time have taught you to make filthy signs to me with your lips and tongue, to provoke me by obscene touches and noises, and even to do in my presence the most shameful and filthy act of the body. You remember the day you pulled up your clothes and let me lie under you looking up at you while you did it? Then you were ashamed even to meet my eyes. You are mine, darling, mine! I love you.

I had a 36" Zenith 720p TV around the year 2003. As a freshly graduated college student, I had to move that thing from apartment to apartment probably 5-6 times. It weighed almost 200 pounds. There were no nice handles for holding it, so you had to put your fingers under the bottom edges, which basically gouged deeply into your hands. If you had leather glove available, it was a lot better, but then you couldn't secure your grip as well and risked dropping the loving thing. Ultimately I ended up giving it to my wife's parents. I don't know what they did with it in the end, but one day a couple years ago it just wasn't in their house anymore. It was a pretty sweet TV for it's day, just a total bitch to move. Also it was made in the USA.

My little goonies come round yonder and let papa Avalanche tell you bout the olden days of computerin: Back in mah day, we had no fancy color hi definition ten eighty pee pees with matte coatin and touch sensitive power buttuns. If you wanted to get your game on TO THE EXTREME!!!!!!! you had 2 choices of colors: green or black. The Steve Jerbs at the time was a wonderous benevolent man and crafted a maschine to let us have BOTH! Behold:

My freshman year a bunch of idiot pieces of poo poo were filming a short film or something, took up our whole rec room (they just sort of squatted in there). They had a whole bunch of CRTs they was disassembling, a lot of us were disappointed it didn't result in "tragedy." Good chance most are homeless or work retail so things worked out how it should've anyway I guess.
