I think I may need a break from Craigslist. I saw an ad yesterday for a free “Castles Arcade Game”. It had no pictures, and not much for a description.

I went to KLOV.com and searched for “Castles”, and the only game that came up was Crystal Castles. I figured maybe they don’t remember the name. I called them, and the guy said he hadn’t looked at it in a long time, and it was in the garage. I tried to ask specific questions but they didn’t really know much. So, I’m thinking it must at least have the word Castle in it, and its a free “Arcade Game”. I’m thinking:

Crystal Castles - awesome!

Star Castle - it’s still good

Mr. Do’s Castle - hey, still good

How could I possibly loose? I figured I couldn’t pass this up. I drove there late last night. 4 hrs and half a tank of gas later, I came home with this giant turd:

Look at it! Just glistening in the sun.

You may be wondering why I took it home. I’ve been let down by 2 people recently that committed to deals and weaseled out. I agreed to come get this from them, and they were nice people. I couldn’t back out on them.

On the ride home with this treasure last night I had thoughts of pulling over and dumping it in the woods, or of my tailgate flying open and it “accidentally” sliding out into the middle of I495. Unfortunately, when I got home it was still there safe and sound in the back of the truck.

I wasn’t sure where to put this, but I ended up finding a really good spot for it!
