| "OMG, how much?! I haven't felt this wet "down there" since 1962!" |
- 2 limited edition Benji "Wags to Riches" collector plates.
- A Harvey Birdman costume.
- An original Nintendo Entertainment System console, complete with NES Zapper, NES Advantage joystick, the Power Glove (yup, a mother fucking Power Glove), and 15 games including Kung Fu, Contra, Track n Field, Punch Out, Karate Champ, Excite Bike, and Legend of Zelda. (Video game geeks rejoice!!!)
- 2 Peter Cetera cassette tapes, the first two of his solo career.
- 6 California Raisins figures.
- A late 70s porn on video cassette. The days when fluffy and afro-picked bush reigned supreme.
- A lavishly framed painting by Thomas Kinkade, the "Painter of
shit that only old smelly religious ladies likeLight."
So after thoroughly cleaning out all of our closets, the basement, and the shed, I'm faced with the conundrum of whether to take this bounty of riches to Antiques Roadshow or Pawn Stars in order to discover how many millions of dollars I've unearthed, unless of course some of the items are genuinely priceless.
P.S. - In regard to those Peter Cetera tapes, I don't know where those ever came from. *nervous laughter* They're not mine, obviously, I mean c'mon! Not in a million years would Dr. C ever listen to... you believe me, right? I mean he may have the voice of a man-angel that mere mortal ears are not worthy of listening to, but I would never... umm, uhhh... *more nervous laughter*
I'm not going to lie - I kinda want half that stuff. Thank god for internet anonymity...
Well, the NES may have some appeal to geeks. (If it works and you don't have to take a stroke blowing into the cartridges.)
The 70s porn would be better if it was on film.
I just sold 2 Kinkades: One for $600 and another for $1,000.
Everything else you described is pretty much crap... Sorry.
aw man i wish i had our old nes, course it broke but that's a keeper right there :) you could probably make some dough on ebay or craigslist with that if it works.
I will totally take the Harvey Birdman costume.
I wish I were lying.
But you know...Birdman!
You're making room for more stuff?
I did not know who Peter Cetera was so went on over to You Tube. I wish that I had remained oblivious.
Don't worry, Doc. We all have our little quirks. No (overt) judging here... (I know all the words to Ice Ice Baby, and still sing to boy bands in my car like I'm on american idol).
Does one of your Peter Cetera cassettes have "glory of love"? Because really...a song from Karate Kid 2?? Total awesomeness. You should eBay or Craigslist all of it to see what happens....
I would go antique road show...they tell you what it is worth while Pawn Stars only tell you what they'll give you.
I loved Peter Cetera in the 80's. But before I say things I might regret...
Thomas Kinkade. How egotistical is the man? Painter of Light? That his artwork is selling for $1000 makes me think I should paint more often.
I was just wondering if the Benji movies were available on DVD so I could watch one with my daughter. Although I'm sure they aren't as good as I remember.
@ Maxwell: I'm clearly most excited about the NES stuff. But you can have the Kinkade :-)
@ J Bear: HOLY SHIT IN A HAT! That Kinkade crap is worth that much?! I'M RICH BIAATCH! (Note to Maxwell, you can no longer have the painting)
@ JJadziaDax: I got home today and Mrs. C had it all hooked up playing games! It totally works! I'm king of Geekdom today!
@ Wannabe Housewife: Hell yea! Great to find another fan of that totally kick ass show.
@ Antares Cryptos: Haha, of course! Out with the old junk, and in with the new junk.
@ Nubian: Don't deny it. Your games of acting like he didn't just change your life right then and there aren't working with me. I know better. *sniff*
@ Sunshine: Thank you for not judging. Also, singing loudly in the car is like my second job. Keep it up.
@ Brooke: "I am the MAN, who will FIGHT, for your HONOR!"
@ Bearman: I like your angle Bearman, consider it done. Yea, I'm scared that Pawn Stars dude will say, "Well, it's worth about 2 bajillion dollars, so I'll give you $25.99"
@ Meg: Peter WAS the 80s. Something about Kinkade makes me nauseous, and I never saw a single Benji movie in my life, yet somehow have the plates. I'm blaming the wife and her family somehow.
First of all, you need to keep the Power Glove and wear it when you teach.
Second of all, you need to keep the Peter Cetera and play it at the beginning of every class... it will be your psych-up music.
Third of all, how much for the old porn?
Pawn Stars for sure! At least there they would know what to do with an NES and Power Glove. Plus who wouldn't want to go to that shop?
My mother went to the antiques road show and had some amazing things that they said were worthless. It was a sad day.
Neither actually. If I ever get a hard on and don't want it, I think of those two tv shows and bam it is gone. lol
Sorry, we just finished our quarterly run to the outlet mall for garage sale inventory.

SO BAAAAAAD.
@ Kev D: "First of all, you need to keep the Power Glove and wear it when you teach." OH SHIT! Best idea I've heard for like a month! LOVE. IT.
@ Miss Allie: You're right, I'd totally want to go to that shop!
@ Oilfield Trash: HA! That's some sobering advice my friend.
@ Jonah: Well damn.
@ Drake: Oh shiiiiit! I'll never forget that movie. Didn't that movie also unveil the first glimpse of Super Mario 3?
Oh he absolutely DOES have the voice of a man-angel that mere mortal ears are not worthy of listening to!!!!
Do you listen to the Peter Cetera while looking at the Kincaid painting? Maybe while sipping a white wine cooler?
EBAY, Craig's List, the dump, it's all the same. Just get rid of it. Somehow get it out of your house. You don't need or want it. There's much better porn available now then there was then. Okay, none of it is really good, but who cares! We still watch it.
I want it all. I want it all. I want it all. And I want it now.
Just the one porno? I think you should hang on to it. I totally wish we'd go back to fluffy bush.
I support your Peter Cetera condition. I have it myself. It's okay. His voice is pretty much gone now. He sings everthing about half an octave lower now.
After you found the porn, did you go looking for a VCR just to-um-see if it still played?
@ meleah: Whatev - I wouldn't know. (pssst! I know, right?!?!)
@ Logical Libby: Well played Libby, well played.
@ Linda: Get rid of it?! It's an NES original... I can't make myself...
@ Denny: I see your Queen song, and raise you a Veruca Salt song.

@ singlegirlie: They were much softer times.
@ Fred: I mean if I cared about his music or something, knowing he's lost it might bring me to tears. But, pshh, I could care less. *sniff* *sniff*
@ Vinny C: lol. Seriously though, of course I did.
Other than the Kinkaide, I feel like Pawn Stars might be your best bet since most of it seems like pop culture things. If you were serious. If not, ignore me.
I knew I smelled a Chicago fan here! And come on, embrace the love you feel for Peter Cetera! It's ok...~holding songs and singing "Glory of Love" together~
A Kinkade? It's like I don't even know you, brah.
The lady actresses and pr0n stars are starting to wear merkins because their waxed lady bits are no longer able to sprout the afro, so I think the porno containing vintage bush is worth more than anything else.
My mom loves Kinkade, and she hates the bible! I love the NES, but no Duck Hunt?! Kids were given Mario Galaxy and Mario Cart recently, love the nostalgia value! I hope someone gives me the new Zelda soon. God, I'm a geek.
Good luck on ebay!

@ newteacherwife: I'm too geeky to get rid of the video game stuff, but the rest? Adios!
@ Sandra: "I am the man, who will fight for your honor."
@ Hermitage: It's not mine! It's from the mother and law! MERKINS! I haven't heard that word in ages - thank you dearly Hermitage :-)
@ The General: I know, right?! Where's that Mario Bros & Duck Hunt combo game?! Must have it!!
voice of an angel?? excuse you. that title is reserved for Jon Secada.
and Jon Secada only.
