Good Food and a Good Haul

Yesterday me, my wife and my father in law went out to eat. We went to this place that is known for pork and deep frying, sounds like a winner to me. The food was really good but the best thing on my plate, which was kind of a variety, was the pork with cheese in the middle only problem is I only got two and I only got to eat one of them. Next time I would get a whole plate of them instead of the variety set.

Then today my wife wanted to go to Ikea so that meant that I could go back to Hard Off. I was thinking about picking up a Saturn but at first I couldn't find them then after more looking it seemed they had been knocked back. I reached in and grabbed them they only had 3 white ones, which is the one I wanted. However calling them white was a stretch (Ooo random trying to spell a word thought: remember Stretch Armstrong dolls from the 90s? My cousin and I broke one once and the inside was like super syrupy, it had kind of a yellowish color and looked like it would taste sweet or sugary but we didn't try it .....anyway) these things were really yellow. On top of the sub par color they were marked as possible issues, I would be fine with issues if it was a flawless white because I could just transplant the shell but this added up to a no go for me.

Next I moved over to the games and I grabbed a bunch of GameBoy games that I didn't have. I won't list all the games but take a look at the picture, Goemon is probably the best one of the bunch. One of them had a name written on it but I have been able to get other names off other games with a magic eraser so I got it anyway. However this name just won't come off.

I also found two Sega Saturn 1mb ram carts the general Saturn one and the King of Fighters 95 cart. I got both because they were only a $1 each, I already have the 4mb cart back home but there are a few games that need the 1mb cart to work properly plus I could always just sell it. I also saw a Saturn Mouse in the box but resisted the urge to pick that up because it was $4 and I would honestly never use it (see I have will power....umm kinda.. so yea). They also had the KoF 95 game and I would have got it just to go with the cart but they only had the instruction book and disc not the case so I was out (Pft no case!?! Its not worth the whole $1 your asking for it)

Finally I picked up two SFC games Mario Kart complete for $10, there was another shop I have talked about before that wanted $25 for a boxed copy. The other game I got was Cotton 100% that was also $10, I had played others in the series on the Saturn and know that its rare-ish so I picked that up. When I got home I checked the prices on ebay and found that it goes for about $25-$35 so a nice profit... not that I will sell it but still.

    3. because the only friends we had were cousins, and the only people who had cool toys were curtis and erik, and you wouldn't have broken it if it was curtis'
