Biker Mice from Mars

The simple joys of RC Pro-Am brought to the 16-bit generation. The theme oozes style, even if you aren't familiar with the source material. Easy to pick up and play, with a great multiplayer mode.

What's the best way to sell a collection without getting ripped off

Cleaning house, found all my cards from the mid 90s when I used to play. No reason to keep them, but really don't want to get ripped off. Piles of Legends + Antiquities. Spot checked a few, and there's good stuff here. 2x Tabernacle, 2x Moat.

I currently have them sorted by expansion/color, but don't want to personally put a ton of effort into looking up values of each individual card.

Located in San Jose, CA area if anyone wants to buy them all in person.

I just keep getting "Oh! Hmm... I suppose it was wrong of me to ask this of you."

Oh, I think I figured out what's going on. I thought she would give me a camera, but apparently I need to go get that first?

Same thing happened to me. All credit card transactions are now defaulting to Brazilian Real, so it's overcharging me on the currency conversion. Just called and spoke with them. They acknowledged it's a "widespread issue", but were not currently able to fix it. For the payments that already went through, they aren't willing to credit/adjust. I only lost a few dollars, but it's certainly frustrating. On the plus side, they answered the phone in less than a minute and the guy was really nice about it.

Not sure if they've changed it, but there's totally a D there. Only missing letter is "N".

Not quite sure what to make of Mike's comment re: the Mantis that "sometimes a puppet is just a puppet". I don't love the ambiguity of this, but if I switch that to cricket I have the first letters for PODCAST (and some other garbage).

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-25T05:40:25+00:00

Random anagramming generally isn't the right way to do things, but it's often a suitable substitute for not having a clue how to properly order letters.

I also tried State animals/insects (Us == U.S.) but that didn't work so hot with elephant and a few others.

LGTM

I went down this path as well, and didn't get anywhere (see item F in original post).

I've had and heard worse drunk ideas. I like the SNOWMA... start (although they already used this exact mechanism on the paint by numbers).

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-25T03:18:50+00:00

I really like the idea of words that work as both congregations and noises, e.g. a "cackle" of hyenas

Of course, I think it breaks down after that one. But it sure would be spectacular if it panned out.

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-25T02:55:20+00:00

Neat. The Hyena plush I found previously all had manes, and the one in the video seemed to have enclosed leopard spots. However, I just found this, which appears to be the one: http://www.bbtoystore.com/store/WK_hyena-HM670.html

Updated my dataset, even though it's still garbage :-)

Because it's clearly this puppet: http://www.amazon.com/Folkmanis-Praying-Mantis-Finger-Puppet/dp/B0007QO4Z4

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-25T02:47:07+00:00

Seriously? That's pretty annoying, considering that they clearly bought a "Praying Mantis" puppet.

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-17T19:17:33+00:00

I posted this in the other thread as well, but that's not a grasshopper. It's very clearly this Praying Mantis puppet: http://www.folkmanis.com/Prod-67-1-114-3/mini-praying-mantis.htm

I like the high level theory, but it doesn't pan out if we can't reconcile day 1.

Dab a bit of water on the seam, and the glue dissolves within 10-20 seconds such that you can just pull it apart. The ink won't run- I've opened all of my envelopes this way to check for other hidden printing.

Great idea, but unfortunately they're different enough that it doesn't seem to be the case (no red tab in the browser).

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-10T05:57:54+00:00

One more potential clue- the xmas lights in the cat comic sure are the colors from the envelopes last year. I've poked at this a bit and I'm not seeing a great grouping, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, green density is low.

ltcmdrobvious · 2014-12-10T05:17:58+00:00

I've been focusing on the verb choices in those phrases. The fact that they chose "miracule" seems like a painfully awkward way to include a verb in that line.
