Picked up Flags of Our Fathers, Running with Scissors, The Science of Sleep, and Shinobi today.

Shinobi might be terrible, but I gambled for 9.99.

I also grabbed Training Day and Ferris Bueller's Day off for 4.99 each.

I was going to pick up Hollywoodland too, but I'm guessing that it's down to $10 within 6 weeks and I'm trying to be a little smarter about picking up obvious future-cheapies at $20.

Most of mine are mint - but none of them are graded.  They're all 15 to 20 years old at this point, in the same hard cases they were in when I put them in there as a kid.  Nothing too fancy - Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey rookies, crap like that.

It's only 100 or so cards (sold off the thousands and thousands of commons for $200 years ago).

I want to be rid of them - but I don't really want to throw them away.

I'm guessing I'd be lucky to get $20 for all of it if I take them to a card shop, but that's the way I'm leaning right now - I'd rather have $20 and them out of my house than to have them just taking up space.  And to think way back when the book value on these was probably 500 times what I can actually get for them now.

I've never had any qualms about cracking open a case straight from the palette when no one's looking.

If what you want to buy is sitting right there, why should a little bit of tape that hasn't been sliced yet come between you and success?

I'm pretty sure if you start installing those windows updates, you can choose 'custom' install (or something like that) and then it will show you a list of items and you can check which ones you want installed and which ones you don't.

As for all the image related questions - I use Photoshop, but that's not the cheapest program in the world.  There are other simpler, cheaper options out there.

I'm going to merge this with our tech-help thread.

You ice pussies...

Not me - I love it when it ices.  I live downtown near a freeway and it gets dead quiet when that happens.

I just wasn't expecting any today is all.

I'm interested again.

Good stuff this year it looks like.

Exxon broke it's own profit record!

Hooray!

..Uh oh, if those things glow in the dark then forget it...do tatoos (any kind) glow in the dark?

I don't know about glow-in-the-dark, but I know a guy who got crucifixion scars tattooed on his wrists, in black-light ink.

He's got some issues, but that's neither here nor there.
