test your strength

ring toss  

balloon darts  

[basicly, any of the usual midway diversions]  

that game with the pneumatic bb machinegun, ya know, the one where no matter how awesome your shooting is, the chumpass carnie always insists he can still see a tiny piece of the red star left on the scrap of paper that used to be the target  

[edit] 

'nvm' the fortune teller, but what about fun house and freak show?  they dont strike you as trodden territory?  

ep is pretty damn good.  

i like everything on it except catch and kill.  sounds like it belongs on a young scary opie album.  

like cabal, i was very likely to get a box set whether it had extra goodies or not.  

im pleased with it.  i havent had a commercial copy of milenko since before the turn of the millenium.  my riddle box cd skipped, now it doesnt; plus, it doesnt have that annoying hed pe sampler at the end anymore.  got my seminar dvd back.  et cetera.  

lucky, youre just gonna have to accept the fact that the box set wasnt intended for you.  it wasnt intended for me, either, i just happened to wanna get it.  

ninjas who got down after around the sixth or so have typically had a hard time pickin up all seven cds.  i would say they are the primary targets.  

after that, there are the hordes of juggalos who were squealing like baby birds for a box set, despite already having everything already.  given how long it took to come together, im sure most of em turned into haters long before it was available, but still, they were squealing, and for many years.  

just an illustrative point:

Some people want to buy House of Wax, but don't want to buy a $90 box set.  It's a perfectly reasonable complaint to me.  

that is valid.  and reasonable.  

Just because you're satisfied with eating whatever stale bread crumbs are tossed at you, doesn't mean other people don't have the right to demand not to be treated like money dispensers.    

but this invalidates the reasonableness.  all thats left, is complaining.  

see the distinction?  

im not a money dispenser eating stale crumbs.  im a satisfied consumer, who picked up a product he is happy to have.  

a touch on the expensive side, ill grant that.  but show me somethin that isnt, these days.

Sorry I triggered anyone's buyer's remorse... but I'm just calling it how I see it.  There's no reason to justify something.  You want it, you buy it.  But you know... don't convince yourself that the person selling it didn't pull some dumb shit when they clearly did. 

oh, come on.  youre straight up talkin for other people, here, and its just your opinion.  

you know full well you arent triggering buyers remorse, youre enduring it.  stop with the projecting, already.  you sound ridiculous. 

im not trying to 'justify' anything.  youre trying to justify a position that is purely based on your own pov, which is fine; but youre also puttin it on us for fuckin up.  thats not fine.  nor reasonable.

But you're doing the same thing.  You're saying, more or less, this project was intended for people like you, so everything's fine and dandy.   

but scruffy actually said

I'm not as upset as you guys wish I was, however, I'm not going to sit here and act like I don't see what they did there.

i wish you werent upset at all.  but i have very little control over that.  

frankly, you sound a lot more upset than i believe you are.  so, i have to wonder why its such a sticking point.  

you got much more dough than i do, and are complaining about lack of value, and shitty decision-making, vis a vis your music purchases.  

but i am not complaining.  i see what they do, always have.  i just dont think it is nearly as egregious as you do.  

birds dont speak english.  well, some of the parrots do, but not the baby ones.  

what they are saying is, 'gimmegimmegimmegimmegimme! gimme!'
