Got it - works. Free copy of Thumbelina if anyone wants it.

You know when they say you should never go to someone's house for Craigslist stuff? Yeahhhh....

Have you noticed the creepy van outside your house ever since you picked it up?

Very Nice

It was over on the South Side of Milwaukee. DEEP in the South Side. It's a part of the city where you lock your doors at stoplights to prevent carjackings in broad daylight.

When I say this was a crackhouse - I'm not kidding, there was actually a guy on the couch smoking crack and/or a meth related substance and about 6 people living there. I'm not going to question where this thing came from, the price was right, haha.

Needless to say I got the F out of there as quick as possible.

I can finally share this story!!!!!

ABout a year ago, I picked up my first turbo score.  It was a craigslist ad.  The guy directed me to his address in a rather surburban town.  However part of the town backs up seemlessly to here:

http://trenton.homicidewatch.org/2013/08/29/daytime-shooting-in-front-of-bakery-sets-new-murder-record/

So literally one side of the street is the town he indicated, the other side was Trenton NJ.  Guess which side he lived on...

So here I go alone to his house, guy is outside waiting for me with a CRT from 1980 plugged in via extension cord and the TG-16 set up.  I played it, got my $10 Dead moon Card (which wasn't listed)  and got in my car and left ASAP. as I was leaving, across the street a guy was arguing with a tow truck driver over his towed car which he had just gotten from the impound lot.

Y'all are true OBEYers, risking life and limb to score some Turbobs.

Hmmm.... perhaps we're not all that different from those crack/meth heads.  :mrgreen:

Usually when I am in a situation like this, I will try to preach the harms of drug use.  Maybe you should go back with some anti-drug literature.
