MINTY VINTAGE MONSTER!!!!!!!!! (SECRET LOCATION)
MINTY VINTAGE MONSTER

OK all you audiofiles. I've been watching all the CR ads and EBAY and I see that every piece of closet cr*p, I mean "vintage" quality stereo is bringing stupid money. I mean its a good value.

Soooo.... I thought it was time to bring out my "MINTY VINTAGE MONSTER". It's a good one and made back when everything was quality, like 1993!!! Its got maybe a 1000 watt amps or something. But you know its great, cause it's "VINTAGE".

It's one of the top brands that sold at Walmart way back in the day. Like Sound Design or something, and its got some silver knobs on the front so you know its "VINTAGE"! And its "MINTY" Its a VINTAGE MINTY MONSTER receiver amp tuner.

No pictures cause they wouldn't load, the camera phone was broke, I didn't have time, they'll be up later, text me, send a self addressed stamped envelope, or whatever.

Yeah its "MINTY" like new, almost perfect, clean, ready to play. Just missing a few feet, a couple knobs, the lights are out, a little blue overspray from when we painted the garage, the case is bent, and the cords cut. But hey, it's worth a ton!!! It's a "VINTAGE MINTY MONSTER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I know you all are wanting this bad boy. You can be rocking out in no time. But... we really have to be on the lookout for SPAMMER SCAMMERS!!! So heres what we'll do. On FRI at exactly 11:42 am, be standing on the side on I-35, the north bound lane, near World's of Fun. Wear a yellow rain coat with a green turbine. Be holding a sign that say's " will work for fish ". That way I'll know your not a scamming spammer!!! Also bring your birth cert, photo id, check stub, and a note from your mother. Can't be too careful with spamming scammers!!!!

If you have any questions like "what does it cost"? Keep it too yourself. I'll tell you how much it costs. I saw a radio on EBAY with a BUY-IT-NOW of $999.99!!! SO hey...mine has to be worth alot more cause its a MINTY VINTAGE MONSTER!!!!!!

CASH ONLY! No refunds. You can test it at your own house. Don't bother me with texts, e-mails, cell calls, or letters. I'll know if you want it.

Flagged? Why bother? It's funny and there's a few jackasses in Olathe that need to see this. It might help them realize how stupid they are.

Wonder if this guy had a run in with the Indy monster receiver guy?

A) It's not funny, it's banal.
B) It's against the rules of CL.
C) CL is a volunteer-led effort that, if unpoliced by the user community, would be like AK without mods. Imagine that chaos and how much fun it would be. Or imagine Wikipedia, which anyone can edit. It's already tough enough to keep legitimate information in there, enough to make it a useful place for most. Imagine if no one 'bothered' to correct it when people wipe the contents of their diapers on the walls.

That's why.

Funny. banal, but funny. I don't think it will last too long anyway.

I found it entertaining but, you're right. Without the rules to hold things together, the sites would be worthless.
