The first Trilogy thread ever posted to the internet. AKA I'm googling for you cause I love ya

If trilogies are good enough for George Lucas and Peter Jackson then I have the right to do one too.

PART 3:

THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE. BUT TRUST ME IT'S INTERESTING AND IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME BECAUSE IT'S TWO 30 SECOND YOUTUBES.

I got on eBay in 1997. Shortly after that I noticed someone was selling a postcard but it was no ordinary postcard. It was a postcard handwritten and signed by Manson in his prison cell. He had composed a poem (of sorts) and hand written it on the postcard and signed it. And the postcard had the official prison postal stamp on it to validate it's authenticity.
The seller had corresponded with Manson and talked him into writing about a dozen postcard poems (all different) for a small fee with the intention of selling them for a profit on eBay.
I got one of them for about thirty bucks before ebay prohibited more from being sold.
I've been waiting ever since for that psycho to croak in hopes the postcard will appreciate in value after he's dead.
I'm probably as crazy as he is. But thank god my craziness doesn't hurt anyone.

Records are like stamps and baseball cards and lottery tickets.
Most are worthless. And some are worth tons of money.
So the answer is it depends on which ones.

Frank Wilson recorded on several labels. A lot of what he recorded is what is now referred to as "northern soul" which is currently the hottest category in record collecting. The term "northern soul" refers to American soul music records which were popular in northern england in the 60's and 70's and the collector market for it now is mainly in Western Europe and to a lesser degree in the U.S.
Writing on the paper sleeve the record is in doesn't hurt it. Writing on the record label itself will hurt the value of it.
Wilson's records bring from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars depending on which record.
Maybe you can remember which record it was by looking at this list.

Thanks for the response, Sal. And thanks for sharing that animation.

I found the "greatest geek" cartoon this morning. And not being really familiar with the whole Tesla story some of it seemed like hyperbole and I wanted some verification. Especially the part about Edison electrocuting dogs and cats in attempt to scare people away from Tesla's alternating current.

But a little googling verifies that it's all true. Not only did Edison electrocute dogs and cats but what the creator of the cartoon failed to mention is that Edison also actually electrocuted an elephant for the same motive. The elephant's name was Topsy. And to publicize how evil and dangerous alternating current was, he actually made a film of the electrocution of Topsy and proudly showed it to the world.
This is the actual film of the eloctrocution.
There was never any mention of this in our school history textbooks.

Come to the light.

I'm sorry I even clicked on this thread.

Well in that case I'm sorry I was ever born.

Thanks for saying that, hallmark. Just for that I'm going to give you this
Charlie Sheen interview. So get a bag of popcorn and enjoy. It's a hoot.

LOL As I was saying we need more Bobs. The video is blocked. Will not load for me. Oh I see. I have to watch it on You Tube NP I can do that. Forget all above......

sorry. I fixed the link.

well shit. no I didn't. if that tesla dude was here he could fix it. edison, on the other hand, would probably try to electrocute us all.

I gotta tell you, it's really a big disappointment to learn that edison was a no good cocksucker. I always thought he was something special.
those history teachers are nothing but liars.
first they lied about deluna, and now this too.

Damn I just turned on the news and the lead story is they're letting the sodomites in the cub scouts.
This world is just changing too much for an old fart like me.

hallmarkgrad2 wrote:Edison may have been gay. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass.

That bastard had to be gay to electrocute animals. No real man would ever do such a thing as that.

I knew that a long time ago. Does anybody really believe any self-respecting heterosexual would be caught dead in a getup like this?
