ameer cunt smasher! Joined: Feb '03 Posts: 3,063	About a month ago, John came across a perfectly good gutted arcade cabinet sitting in a dumpster. Seeing the value of such a commodity, he hoisted it into the back of his truck. Since 10th grade, I believe inspired by Azz's own attempt at building a MAME cabinet, we've wanted to build our own personal arcade machine. Since I've got a bigger backyard than he does, he dropped it off at my house, and we stored it behind my garage for working on later. Well, we never did work on it. I always wondered why Azz apparently never finished his, and I think it's because it's hard, and very heavy. This week, John and I are moving away from home to pursue engineering degrees in college. My mom desperately wants this eyesore out of her backyard before I leave. Strangely enough, although we had little trouble getting it to where it is, getting it out seemed much harder, perhaps because we've become even lazier. At any rate, we needed to put our engineering prowess to the situation to remedy the problem of it being so heavy. The most obvious solution was to take it apart, but we were much too lazy to do that properly. The nearest solution would be to take it apart with an axe, but after scouring the garage, we failed to find one of those. The closest John could come up with was an aluminum bat. We used it to disassemble the cabinet. Job well done. ------------------

Lobster Martin hi Joined: Feb '03	Nice bit of smashing there. Make the most of your time at uni - it'll fly by. I'm starting a Masters in october; last year of uni for me, before I have to start in the real world. Not looking forward to it! I'll probably find a way to delay getting a job though. Perhaps through travel? Or I might try and join the Royal Air Force, innit

Deleted Member	yeah, it's real. i've never actually seen a billboard for it, but they ran us by that same campaign in junior high and the early part of high school. it's to prevent unplanned pregnancies and STD's that will FOR SURE ruin your entire future forever without any hope of recovery.
