  1. Went recycling all my empty water bottles early this morning. Had 200 bottles at 5¢ each. Made $10 today!

      I don't bother with it here. We don't get anything and I'll be damned if I'm gonna do work for nothing. We used to, in fact it paid for some of my early Apple II peripherals. But not anymore.

      Water bottles getting a return? jeez I just recycle because it is the right thing to do. It would be AWESOME to get something back for that.

      Of course you realize you're paying more to buy the bottled stuff in the first place. I get around by that by taking my cans from RI (which doesn't have the deposit) to work with me and then it's a short drive over the border to Mass (which DOES have it) and dumping them into a machine in the supermarket. Win-win. :)

  2. Went shopping at BJ's this evening and parked next to a Merkur XR4Ti. Haven't seen one in a few years.

      @ Bryan: I went to a salvage yard that allowed customers to remove parts from the cars yourself. there were 2, XR4Ti in the back of the lot. I removed the Merkur emblem on one of the models and have it on my deck in front of my encyclopedia volumes! The rest of the vehicles were parted long before I got there.

      Shopping at BJ? Is that were you get to choose man or woman, hair color, eye color, positions, etc for your BJ pleasure? ;)

      We have a BJ wholesale here. The guy sells cars tho. I'd think twice before naming anything "BJ"

  3. Went this morning for the yearly NYS e-mission testing inspection for my Yugo!......It passed!

    1. fdurso224

      fdurso224

      @simbalion.: Don't be fooled by morons like them. The Yugo is actually a great car and has a cult status today! I still have my Yugo for over 15 years and 99% of the car is original and works fine! Yugo was also voted one of the best cars in the U.K. and the new 500L from Fiat sold in the U.S. is manufactured by the same factory that made them in Serbia. So there is more to the story than from "The Three Stooges" on Top Gear and college dropouts that are in the media!

      @atariam63: I wish they didn't have it here either. I know Florida doesn't. Because my past cars didn't need them by law!

      simbalion

      Sorry, didn't mean to insult you. Heck, I have a VW beetle and once it is on the road, I doubt it will pass much either. We had some Yugos around here when I was a kid, but they have all disappeared. I just never heard good reviews on them, even from former owners.

  4. Went to Boston Market and purchased a "buy-one-get-one-free" meal with my girlfriend. The interesting thing is that people leave their receipts that allow you to honor that deal when you come back! In 5 Minutes, I found 20 on the floor! This remains me of that show "Extreme Couponing".

      It's dishonest. Do the right thing, rather than gaming the system.

      fdurso224

      Dishonest? Hmmm...I never imagined that! I thought it was a way to save money. But, I'll reconsider.

  5. Went to Burger King tonight and couldn't help noticing disobedient children running rampant and the parents busy with their phones texting away. Is this the new parenting style for modern America? I had to tell them to pay attention to them because they were driving me and everyone bonkers!

      jaybird3rd

      You just know you're going to be on the receiving end of some parent's righteous anger, claiming that you don't know how hard it is to discipline kids.

       

      I know what my father would have done if I had behaved like that in public, and he wouldn't have found it hard at all.

      It seems like nowadays people always have their eyes glued to their phones. I've seen quite a few people not pay attention to the road and instead look at their phones while driving!

  6. Went to Chick-Fil-A and will continue in the future to support the franchise. Regardless of what opinion the CEO had to say, they still make the best darn chicken.

    1. Emehr

      Emehr

      I don't support haters. Omniscient or otherwise.

    2. HatefulGravey

      HatefulGravey

      I'm done with Chick-Fil-A, but I have no hard feelings for those that aren't, but they can keep their opinion, and I'll keep my money. They should have just stayed silent on this thing.

    3. fdurso224

      fdurso224

      It was one man's opinion and now in this great country you can't even practice freedom of speech? In Chicago they are trying not to open a new Chick-Fil-A restaurant because of an opinion? Not only is that against the law, but show how government authority in this country is so unjust and abused. I guess are amendments will be soon gone in the future!

  7. Went to Payless and purchase some dress shoes. Took advantage of the buy 1, get 50% on the other. Nothing like a pair of new shoes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDuvLhEZVgM

    1. Video_Invader

      Video_Invader

      Yeah, only thing is waiting to get them broke in. Feels strange at first. Then you get used to them.

  8. What bothers me alot is that is that he had a minimum salary at $29,000, risks his life to protect & serve, he's 24 with a wife, and this is what he gets in return? Its so unjust!! I help him as much as I could though.

  9. What ever happen to Kepone? Wasn't he the top poster on AA at one point?

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      He became a famous radio personality and now he's too rich and important to talk to us anymore.

    2. Bryan

      Bryan

      He got a sex change and is now dating a prominent AtariAge moderator.

    3. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      I think he is now "Brad2600" but I haven't seen him here either.

  10. What ever happen to Shawn Sr. He used to post a lot on AA.

  11. Whatever happen to Atari Joe? He used to post all the time on AA. Now its been over two years since he logged on the site!!

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      Could he have been murdered by Al Sharpton?

      I miss him. he was a real Atarian hero.

      Probably hanging out with Atari Mike.

  12. Whatever happen to the Atari movie that involved Leonardo DiCaprio a few years ago. Is it still in the making?

    1. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      Well, it's on IMDB but listed as in development. No other info, so who knows?

    2. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      Inception happened... :(

       

  13. When I do laundry, I like to use diswashing liquid instead of laundry detergent. Not the versions for the automatic dishwasher, but the versions that you do by hand! I found that they do a better job cleaning your clothes than Tide, Cheer, and Gain! I get the Ajax version for 99cents in my area and works fine with me!

    1. RickR

      RickR

      NO! All laundry soap must have a one syllable name. Tide, All, Bold, Cheer, etc. I suggest you use Dawn instead of Ajax.

    2. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      How did it possibly occur to you to ever try that?

      i used to eat Comet cleaner. but that was years ago. now i've earned supervised outside time. but i like my happy place instead.

  14. When I go on Facebook, why do these foolish parents put pictures of only their children? Don't they know the risks they're putting on them for abduction or molestation? *sigh*

    1. S1500

      S1500

      It's not like you can kidnap kids through their pictures over the internet. Relax!

    2. godslabrat

      godslabrat

      It's kind of irritating when I'm looking for someone I haven't seen in 10 years, and who has a common name. Hey, Mary Smith! I have no idea what you look like today, and pictures of your kids aren't helping!

    3. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      Has anyone seen the commercial, that ends in "Don't sell your hair in a wig-shop!"? Well, my commercial ends with "Don't use Faceplant!".

  15. When I think of Black Friday, I think of all the insane shoppers fighting for the good sales and the song "Mad House" by Anthrax goes along with it!

  16. When it comes to art work and design, the $2 dollar bill in the U.S. currency print is the best! Amazing work on the Declaration of Independence!

    1. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      There's no silver in our coins anymore. Silver was removed in 1964 from most coins and from the half dollar in 1970. It's all copper nickel these days. Even the penny has been 98 percent zinc since 1982.

    2. TheGameCollector

      TheGameCollector

      yeah so what I'm saying is that people who collect coins from that point on, they know their collection is expendable if need be

    3. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      Then there are Santa dollars which cost $3.50 each.

  18. Whew... I just flew in from Florida and boy are my arms tired!!!

  19. Whoa! At my local gas station tonight and just saw a Subaru BRAT. I haven't seen one of those in 20 years.

    1. DragonGrafx-16

      DragonGrafx-16

      lol that reminds me when my family went on a road trip 17 years ago. We saw this guy sitting in a lawn chair in the back of a pickup truck when we were headed through Atlanta...

    2. DragonGrafx-16

      DragonGrafx-16

      Now keep in mind that this was while we were going down the freeway at like 70 MPH... just imagine what would have happened to that guy if they got into an accident.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      He probably would have spilt his beer!

  20. Whoa! Saw a Daihatsu Rocky. I haven't seen that car in years!

    1. x=usr(1536)

      x=usr(1536)

      Strangely enough, there's one running around here that I see from time to time. They're actually not bad for what they are.

    2. carlsson

      carlsson

      Back in the 80's, my brother was a bit interested in a Daihatsu Charmant (the Charade was far more common though). While he has owned a lot of cars, I believe he never got himself a Daihatsu after all.

  21. Whoa!!! Is that Mick Foley (AKA: Cactus Jack) as Evil Santa? Droll!!

  22. Whoops, I mean gotcha.

  23. Whoops, Its Russian Legsweep

  24. Whoops! I meant Beards not bears.
