What kind of joysticks are those happs? Comps? Supers?  I'm not familiar enough with them to tell them apart.

I'm not all that familiar with them either.  From the exploded diagrams on the Happ site, I'd have to say Ultimates, though the actuators look more like the ones they show in the Competition diagram.

Wow, nobody wants my sweet Pac-Man joke book?  The bid is starting at only $0.50, and I guarantee that there's $0.50 worth of Pac-Man humor in it.  Possibly more.

I want your joke book, but you won't ship to Canada. :-(

Well, since you're a fellow BYOACer, I can make an exception.  It might cost an extra dollar or two for shipping, though.

Oh yeah, don't forget to check out my other auctions.  I have so much great stuff - stuffed animals, a stretched Pepsi bottle, a Spider-Man kite, etc.  All of the interesting items like that come with a bonus gift.  (yes, I'm cleaning out the closets)

At one time we had a group of 6 people, myself included, who played.  One guy's wife had their second baby the other day, so he's out of commission for at least a year.  Another one has one coming next month, so he's out too.  The third guy no longer works with us, and lives too far away to be able to make it to a game even semi-regularly.  The fourth guy got married a couple of months back, and is refinishing his house.  The last guy won't play without the first two, so he's out.  That leaves me, and all my non-(A)D&D playing friends.  I've tried playing at the local gaming store, but it just isn't fun to me if I'm not with my friends.

Anyway, even if they did have the time to play, I don't.  I have a million home improvement projects that have either started or need to start soon.

yeah man its the same thing with me, i liked my old gaming group. like with yours they all got older and have RL things to deal with and the group fell apart, i tried playing at the game shop near me but its not as fun it feels weird.  I was the youngest in the group, im 20 now theyre all late 20s, but i used to play with them since i was like 15, so its sucks theyre all getting old and stuff and now im alone =P

[maraxle]

Yeah, I'm 26.  It's been downhill since I hit 25.  All the people I game with are close to or just over 30.

You know, after thinking about it some more, you're absolutely right.  I think I'm going to pull those auctions.  The arcade stuff is staying up, though!
