[QUOTE=Jayrot] Ahh, very interesting. So obviously the question is: how do you feel about used consumer electronics being put up for sale? [/QUOTE] SHUT UP! FUCK YOU! GODDAMN YOU! FUCK YOU!!! ---

[QUOTE=Kalhoun] I’ll tell you what _else_ was left unfinished: The OP’s medication. Dude…try to remember what drawer you put the pills in and take as directed. [/QUOTE] Hah hah. There have been multiple jokes in the thread about mental illness. Have you known sick people who haven’t taken their meds? I’ve had family members and friends with heavy-duty depression and bipolar. It’s sad and scary, not funny at all. I’m sorry that some of what I’ve said is so over your precious pinny heads that you’ve got to label it–quick!–with whatever you find handy. It’s a flame-out! It’s insanity! Nope. It’s just someone challenging a number of your preconceptions and presenting information that makes you a little uncomfortable. Deal with it. Grow. ---

Typical. A perfectly good joke thread devolves into oversized obscenities. This thread is going to wind up just like Dodge City with worm eating zombie falcons driving elderly female midgets in old beaters. I blame homemade for sale signs. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Meridian Street used to be the pride of the whole goddamn city, but now there are beaters everywhere (subject of the OP, DUH!), crumbling old mansions with old ladies staring out the windows with nothing in their eye sockets… (snipppppy) …Is this fuckin’ DODGE CITY, with all the lawlessness of that city? [/QUOTE] Dude, chill out… it’s called _White Flight_ and it’s made possible by folks just like you. Hooray for White Flight! My advice? Get Thee To Fishers! And also, yes it IS Dodge City. At least the part of it around, let’s see… maybe 21st to 30th and maybe Central to Keystone or so??? Naptown sucks. It has for many, many years now. It sounds like you ain’t helping it too much. ---

Uncouth barbarian. [/QUOTE] I never judged anyone by his/her car. That’s your own bullshit interpolation. I drive a shitty old Olds because that’s what I can afford right now. I hope I can buy a decent new car in the near future. I live on a corner lot with a pretty busy street to the side of my house, but I’m not going to set my own beater for sale out there when it’s time to get rid of it. Maybe if you’d read what I write instead of looking cockeyed at it, you’d actually start to understand and learn something. In the meanwhile, you’re just being the typical jaggoff SDMB mod, setting an unpleasant tone for all to emulate. ---

[QUOTE=Giraffe] ::puts on a top hat:: [/QUOTE] I know have a mental image of a giraffe wearing a top hat with a “press” type card labelled “MOD” in the band, looking curiously at elderly ladies without eyes in their sockets and beat-up Mercedeses with ‘FOR SALE’ signs in a devastated After-the-Holocaust-style urban landscape, as a falcon soars overhead.

We’re the bad boys of the pop psychology crowd. :rolleyes: You know, lots of people agreed with you about rusted cars being left on lawns.

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Riiight. I’ve done Japanese to English translation (with the output as actual ad copy used worldwide) for Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Sony, Casio, Pentax, Panasonic, TBS (current job), Fuji TV, etc. [/QUOTE] Congratulations on purchasing your new Sony VCR! By choosing our product, you have shown that you are not an ignorant slob who is frightened of FACTS, but rather a valiant falcon, soaring on a wave of intransigence. To connect your Sony VCR to your television is not a Sisyphean task. Grasp the console firmly in both hands. Do not think poor, or you will invalidate your VCR. Connect the video out cable to the appropriate port on the back of your TV. (video out = WHORE!) Have a midget connect the power cable to a power outlet. If the functioning of the VCR crumbles like the tower of Babel, turn to troubleshooting. **Troubleshooting:** FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! ---
