Title: Two cabinets at the city dump!! EDIT: RIP - Centipede :(
Post by: Lutus on September 15, 2006, 01:57:26 pm

I just got off the phone with a guy who threw away two cabinets at the city dump earlier today.  One of them is... get this, a Centipede!

I am hustling over there as soon as I get off work.  Who does does this guy think he is?

 :banghead: :cry: :banghead:

I once found two complete games dumped in the yard of a deserted house. A "Lethal Enforcers", and a "Virtua Fighter 2".

I posted about them on Google Groups(rec.games.video.arcade.collecting) and the trolls started harrassing me, so I basically told them to F____ off.

The games eventually were sent to the dump.(What a waste).

Well, I left work an hour early just to accomplish this mission.  I drove around for twenty minutes trying to find the dang place.  Found it and they didn't know what I was talking about.  Called the guy back up and he tells me that he took the cabinets YESTERDAY. 

I asked what time they do the crushing or whatever they do and they said nightly.   :hissy:

NOOOOO!  - I said to myself, slowly wiping a salty tear off my check.

RIP Centipede   :banghead:

It was a villagent effort Lutus!
I'm sure the karma gods will overlook some long forgotten offense in return.
