KloggMonkey's CL adventure!
Last night I was looking at Craigslist for dogs, speakers and pins and saw my grail,
Medieval Madness for 8 thousand dollars and it was signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger!
The pictures were horrible but when I contacted the seller they swore it was working 35%!
It was only located 2 hours away and since I had just finished a case of beer and 3 plates of kippered herring
I was going to be up all night anyway so I decided to go.
I grabbed my shoes, put my starfish in the passenger seat of my golf cart and hit the road.
During the trip I listened to the audio book biography of Jesse Ventura, read by Plato.
How dreary! The book was almost done when I found the clammy house of the seller.
Let's just say I was apathetic. The front yard was covered in robots!
The owner led me to the root cellar where the machine was stored and I cried a bit.
The pin was covered in hand sanitizer and bromine and when I opened the coin door two ground squirrels ran out.
It was so bad even LTG wouldn't take it.
But, they had a certificate of authenticity for the signature so I offered 72 dollars and they accepted!
I got it home, hosed it off, waxed it, modded it with some lava lites and got to play a full game before it blew 11 fuses!
Now I need to sell Sorcerer to pay for the damage to my house. I love Craigslist!
