Mooble's garage sale finds: 5/22/11

Hi, sorry I wasn't updating! I didn't find anything good to write about. As you may have noticed, garage sale season is here. So, I'm on the search for three things: Games,VHS tapes, and anything that I find interesting/unique. So far, here's what I found.
1.A VTEC Type-Right: $2.00 (Last november)
2.Antique doll (For my sister, of course!Stuffed animals, however, are mine.): $1.00? (I'm trying to remember the price.)
3.Three assorted disney films (Two animated, and a family film. I'm a fan of classic disney.): $1.00 (.50 cents each, 3 for just a dollar.)

So far, I didn't find any old games. That stinks, since I want to play what others played back in elementary school. The fact that I have trouble walking long distances might be the problem. Anyways, I'm going to update on my finds every week (or two, or three...), and I'll tell you what I found. Happy reading!

Ask Mooble: we need your questions!

Hi, Mooble here! I'm starting a thing where I can answer the questions you may have about this blog. It can also be questions about my thoughts on things, or even some questions about what I like. (don't ask anything about my PERSONAL things, since I'm obviously going to change the subject and ask you about trivial things, like the joy of chocolate pudding.) So, ask away! (Obviously not a plug to get you to comment on my blog more)

Mooble's rants #1: The media and why I hate it.

(Some of this you may find "Biased and offensive", but that's just your opinion. I try to keep things squeaky-clean, but sometimes I say words that can find on shows rated TV-Y7. Since most of my audience is 11 and up, I believe that I can throw those words around willy-nilly. Remember, these are my opinions. This isn't wikipedia.)

Hi readers! Today I have a new feature. I shall write my rants here, and add my opinions in the space that you are familiar with. Since this is rated (If it were a TV show) TV-Y7 (Think Spongebob-Squarepants and shows like that), I am free to call shows "dumb" without a care in the world! (censorship-wise) Just not the more offensive words, since I have standards too. (besides, this isn't a "gross-out" show!) Enough with this, let's start the rant!

The media, the press, they all have different names, but they all mean one thing, Television and News. Normally, they're good, but now they have gone down the (metaphorical) toilet. Why, you may ask? They keep on stretching the truth, they stereotype, and they're willing to say things for ratings. An example of saying things for ratings is "Coming up next, a man was found stealing gasoline from a local gas station. but, who is that man? coming up after the break!".  JUST TELL US ALREADY! MOST OF US ARE BUSY EATING WAFFLES IN BED, ATTEMPTING TO PUT ON THAT TIE WE GOT LAST CHRISTMAS! In a news-station, "Bad news=more ratings" and "good news=less ratings"! Did I mention that tween girls are controlling the media? TWEEN GIRLS ARE EEEEVIL! EVIL I TELL YOU!  Have you ever wondered why every kid with tourettes on television curses in almost every single sentence? EVERY.SINGLE.SENTENCE. It's because TV executives think that we're basically chimpanzees with money, and that we don't need facts right! Besides, I have tourettes, and I mostly just stutter in every other sentence. This is why I type most of the time, and rarely speak. If you got a nickel for every time I said something besides "Hi" or a one-word sentence, you wouldn't even have enough money to buy something from a vending machine. Okay, there's ONE secret I'm revealing on my blog. Besides, is EVERY person in the movie theater a fool that can't stop crinkling wrappers and/or talking loudly on their cell phone? If it is true, then I suggest that you find a new theater, or order the DVD from "Generic-Mail-order-Film-Service". Now you see why I create my own shows, and read from news-groups. (Of course, most of it is about animals and stuff about computers, but you probably get what I mean.) I only read the newspaper for the comics and local news anyways. For an example of what I hate about the media, here's an example of it. Okay, I am a caffeine-addicted author, and I have a confession to make. I like...[Hungry for the ending? Find out In the next rant! here's some commercials that you'll never use!] [Want cash for your gold? Join into my sca-I mean ponzi sch- I mean club! Visit our new location at the dark, obviously-not-a-trap alley behind wal-mart!] [Text "Junk" to 5551! You'll get useless junk sent to your phone for 1.99 a second! Don't question it, just text "Junk" to 5551!]

*cough cough* *fall down onto bathroom floor, pants still down*

Hi, mooble here! I have some bad news, and some good news. The good news is that I found some old VHS tapes recorded from TV around 10 or 20 years ago, and I'll be uploading parts of it onto youtube soon. Classic Monk and Lady and the Tramp for all! The bad news is... I think I got the croupy cough. I'm not sure HOW I got it, since I'm mostly anti-social,eat my lunch alone, and arrive about 10 minutes early after lunch. I have to drink about 8 ounces of "Generic-sports-drink" every hour if I want to stay out of the hospital. (Just so you know, I have a needle-phobia.) Yesterday, I even FELL DOWN IN THE BATHROOM (commonly referred in my house as "pulling a mommy".). Sure, I was feeling a little disoriented, but that's no reason to wet the bed! So, I went to the doctor's, and they told me to get lots of bedrest, and drink lots of Gato-I mean Generic-Sports-Drink! (Be careful Mooble, we don't want to get sued...) Guess which one I didn't do! (I'll give you a hint: I drank about 10 glasses in 5 hours.) So,  here I am, at the computer, watching classic kid shows. Right now I have some minor pain in my feet and back. Wow, I must be getting older than I thought! Perhaps next year I'll be telling those pesky kids from across the street to get off my lawn before I call the cops. Anyways, I'll be uploading the videos, and then uploading some things I wrote during my time-off from school. So, have a wonderful weekend, and try not to get sick.
Sincerely,
Mooble.
Personally, I prefer Amiga computer because they're easy to- [SIGNATURE FAILURE. PRESS LEFT MOUSE BUTTON TO CONTINUE. GURU MEDITATION #PBX-1254] -recover from in case of accidents.

I'm out sick today.

Hi, Mooble here. I'm feeling a bit disoriented right now, so I'll keep this a bit short. I have a cough, tons of sneezes, and feeling a bit cold.Boy, did I pick the wrong time to wear shorts! I'm supposed to have a test tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

I feel old.

Hey everyone! Mooble here. I wrote this because I remembered something. I was watching an episode of PB&J otter, and I checked how old it was. It was from 1999. I clearly remember watching a new episode of it from that time. Happily, there's rumors that disney might make playhouse disney it's own channel, and there might be some "graveyard slots" in it, and they might fill it up with the old shows we used to watch! but, who would watch out of the box at 3:30 AM? (besides me and a few other people who probably have a VCR) Wow, I'm using references that are outdated to today's teenagers. Poor teenagers have never had to blow into their game to get it to work, and they've probably never played an E-rated game in years. Have you ever seen your son playing "Tetris" or "Super Mario Sunshine"? I think not! (unless he's like me and too lazy to get a job). Anyways, here's some more reasons I feel old.
1.Waking up at 6:00 hoping for One Saturday Morning, and being bombarded with infomercials and dr. Phil.
2.Seeing a game I played at the supermarket being advertised as a "Absolute classic!".
3.Remembering a teen pop idol, and nobody remembers him. (actually, that makes everyone alive feel old. fame lasts about 3 years, and then nobody remembers them.)
4.Remembering "Poke-mania" and them being banned from preschool.
5.Remembering a ad for the Game-cube and the Gameboy Advance in 2001, and remembering how the only way you can buy them now is off ebay, or at garage-sales for about a dollar.
6.Saying "There is nothing I can do" whenever a problem occurs, and nobody getting the reference (except for teachers). (Don't you remember this? It was on "Kablam!", on "Action League Now!"! You know, the scientist on that show with the action figures?)
7.I remember Cartoon Network having these promos called "Cartoon Network Groovies",  and heading to disney 11 years ago. I.Could.Not.Get.The.Songs.Out.Of.My.Head.
8.Finding myself asleep,bag of wheat-free pretzels in left hand,complaining about "How the youth of today is disrespecting the elders", at 5 in the morning.
9.Being able to quote theme songs to kids shows I watched.(
10.Writing "when I was your age" stories. ("When I was your age I had to walk eleventy gajillion miles to the nearest video rental store, carry 10 dollars in pennies, walking uphill in snow, both ways! we also didn't have these review websites! If we bought a bad movie by mistake, we didn't whine about it! We made fun of the terrible effects and dialog! That's the end of the story, since bingo's in 5 minutes.")
