I just got back from seeing the Simpsons Movie with my wife, step daughter, nephew, and others. It was well worth the wait! It was very cool seeing them on the big screen, and I can’t wait for the next one.

I thought I was going to be able to announce something Simpsons related that was equally cool here but it fell through. I made a deal to purchase this Simpsons Arcade game:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300134787531&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020

I was the high bidder but didn’t meet his high reserve. I emailed him right away to see if he still wanted to make a deal. We agreed on a price and it was basically down to when I should drive down to get it. He said last night that he would call me in the morning to pick a time and so I can get his address. I had my phone on all day except during the movie, and no phone call came. I took the cash out on the way home expecting to pick this up Monday or Tuesday, and come home to this BS in my inbox:

Sorry, I had offered the game to my neighbor after the auction ended and didn’t think he was serious about purchasing it but he showed up first thing this morning with the cash so the machine is no longer available. Sorry for wasting your time, Jim

I personally would never do this, but half expected it. He got another offer via email and decided to take it AFTER he already made the deal with me. Complete, total, *@!#$ face. I would highly recommend you steer clear of this ass-clown should you ever see one of his auctions on eBay.

I may still have something VERY cool to post about that is Simpsons related in the next couple of days, so stay tuned.

If you are anywhere in RI, CT, MA, or even NH and have a good condition (dedicated) Simpsons Arcade or Simpsons Bowling for sale, please let me know!
