2017 Chuff thread

[Nephasth]

Work on the compound has begun!



In Wyoming, no one can hear you scream...

[pbj]

You're giving Malenko a run for his rape dungeon money.

[Nephasth]

[pbj]

So what are your plans for those containers?

Tiny houses

[Howard_Casto]

You'll have to only kidnap tiny people I guess. 

[Nephasth]

So what are your plans for those containers?

One is for long term storage for junk like arcade machines. The other will be turned into a workshop until I build the real shop. And they're both used as wind breaks for the camper.

[pbj]

...do you live in the camper?...

[Nephasth]

The plan was to live in the camper this year and build a house out there next. However... life threw me a curveball and now I'm living with a lady friend.

[pbj]

...is she hot?...

[Nephasth]

I wouldn't deviate from the plan if otherwise...

[pbj]

Your setup is so eerily reminiscent of a Texas collector's...



All he's done is add more trailers and cargo containers since this was taken...

[yotsuya]

I wouldn't deviate from the plan if otherwise...

So letting her play with the Grand Lizard let you seal the deal, huh?

[pbj]

So, got the $15 300W sound bar thumping with my Stepmania setup.  That combined with my ceiling lighting effects means I may have finally achieved my game room dreams.

 

[Howard_Casto]

Vids or it didn't happen.

[pbj]

Good as it gets at 1am.  Linux laptop hooked to 55" 4K thumping through 300W sound bar recorded on Samsung phone I rescued from a puddle of water in an alley.

Whats with the porn in the background?

[Nephasth]

Nah man. Mine and Malenko's rape dungeons ain't got ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on yours!

[pbj]

Whats with the porn in the background?

It's the official music video for Hocico's song Dead Trust.

! No longer available

[thomas_surles]

That is an actual rape dungeon in that video

[pbj]

Describing Malenko's garage like that isn't very nice.

My house goes on the market tomorrow night.  Chuffed but also a bit freaked out.  Lived here for 17 years, raised my kids here, went through quite a bit in my life in this house.  Also put a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into it, not to mention a rather large pile of money.  If it sells (or rather when), I will be homeless for about 7 months, and I am expecting a fast sale.  Hope I can find an apartment quickly. 

They say you should never change more than three big things in your life in one year.  I am pushing that a little.  2017 is either going to make or break me.

She has lived with me for nearly 2 years now, lol, so we are both gonna be homeless.  Building a house now but it won't be done for a while..

Before being selected, candidates must go through an extensive observation period. Once deemed to be ideal, they will be... um... invited out...

[jdbailey1206]

... invited out...

[dkersten]

House listed at 3pm, got a call for a showing at 4pm, left at 7pm and went to see Ghost in the Shell while the first prospective buyers checked out the house, ended up in the lobby for 90% of the movie negotiating on the theater system.  Got a full price offer by 9pm, plus most of the theater equipment on the side.

The naff here is that I ended up selling about $12k in theater equipment for $5k.  I made most of it up on getting the full price on the house, but in the heat of the moment I threw out a number I will likely regret when I start building the new theater in the new house.  I am almost afraid to put a pen to paper to add up what I really have into that theater.  I was planning to replace a lot of it anyway, and this saves me the trouble of shipping expensive stuff to God knows where, but I'm wishing I had held out for a few more dollars..

Home theater stuff gets better every two weeks.  Embrace your newfound freedom to upgrade.

Says the guy that doesnt pay for anything. 

[pbj]

I like making other people spend money.

Yup, already planning some huge upgrades for the theater.  It's hard not to buy stuff now, but it would sit in storage for like 9 months, just losing value before ever unboxing them, so I have to hold off.  My fear is when I am ready for the new projector it will be 2 months before the next model year so I will either have to wait or pay full price for something that will be discounted 40% in a couple months, not to mention lacking new features. 

I also sold off some shop tools.  Sold my 15" 3hp planer, an old Delta scroll saw, and my 6" 2hp belt sander.  Three big heavy pieces I don't have to move and store.  It is fun being able to upgrade, but it isn't going to be cheap.  The trick is not spending the money I got from selling the stuff so I can actually afford new stuff when the new house is ready. 

Oh and that fridge that PBJ helped me get a great deal on with the movers coupon idea, that ended up thrown in on the house deal, which means I will need another expensive fridge.  The upside is that little dent in the door that bugs me will now bug the new homeowner when they finally notice it, and I will have a new fridge without any dents.  The dent isn't worth the $2k loss, but I have to find some kind of upside.

[pbj]

Was wondering if you got rid of that eye twitch causing fridge.

 

Anyway, it's that time of year and I have finally gotten my hands on kosher Coca Cola intended for Passover.  Only took 20 years of passively looking.

Not sure if it's fresher or been handled better than the "Mexican" cokes, but it's definitely a notch better.

One of these days someone is going to have to explain the intricacies of the Jewish faith and why eating bacon or using a phone will send you to hell.

Jesus said it's not what goes into a man's mouth but what comes out that defiles him, so keep your mouth shut and drink up.

 

(As told by Billy Joe Shaver at the Redneck Country Club)

[Howard_Casto]

Bring Jesus into a discussion about Judaism ... makes perfect sense.
