that's the good news, the bad news is i suspect it's counterfeit.
when i bought this on ebay it said brand new, sealed etc... and the location was the united states so i figured what the hell and bought it. today the package arrived and it was from china. when i opened it up the packaging kind of fell apart:
what the hell, it costs about $150 plus tax around here and it came to $37.01 on ebay so it might be one of the cheapest lessons i've ever learned. i'll have to give it a test this evening after a little fishing.
a few weeks ago i bought a blue ray player, not to play blue ray discs but to use the usb port for playing music. it was manufactured by samsung and as luck would have it my tv is a samsung. the problem was whenever i turned on the blue ray player it hijacked the tv. it also had about 4 options i had to choose from before the action started. after a little fishing options can be a challenge so the unit was returned this morning and i picked up another one. this evening i'll give it a try if i get ambitious and plug in the wires this afternoon.
i love you sons of bitches.

Believe it or not, I am envious of your possibly counterfeit Deadwood.
I hope it won't be too bad. If not, its a heck of a deal. I buy used things from Amazon and have never been disappointed. Sometimes I get good deals.
I dislike it when my technology misbehaves. I do not want it to be complex. I like "On" and "Off".
I'm going to have to switch to the other computer to listen to your music selection. Hal is being bitchy about playing music again. Grumble. Maybe its time to trade Hal in for a new one.
(You hear that Hal?)
Is that picture of a Chinaman there because it was made it China? Who is that guy anyway?
silly - i've glued the packaging back together and watching it dry at the moment. tomorrow morning i'll test the strength. i wouldn't let hal know about your plans if i was you.
gb - haven't you seen deadwood? do you have an leverage with the safari camp manager? i'm sure you could persuade him to get the deadwood discs.
The Deadwood disks I watched were in a very nice case, but maybe your disc's will be better than the packaging.
I'll sell you the first two seasons of Dexter for ten bucks plus shipping.
That reminds me, Thim's hasn't sent me the cost of the shipping to get that bow to him.
oh man..I'd even take a counterfeit deadwood..
bill - isn't dexter that gay guy from 6 feet under? no thanks.
yellowdog - i've glued the case together and they no longer look counterfeit. lucky me.
Maybe it will work, their fireworks are pretty good.
What kind of fishing are doing? I've always to come up your way and try pike fishing.
Deadwood-- one kidney stone too many. Aaaarrgghh!
tex - i tried a disc and it worked so i be happy. the glue is holding on the packaging too. so i got that going for me.
bob - the episodes with the kidney stones were painful to watch, i shudder thinking about them.
indoor fishing, with hydroponic lures.
I saw a photo of a guy standing outside a counterfeit Apple store in China holding his counterfeit i-Phone with his counterfeit Gucci bag, wearing his counterfeit jacket... you get the drift.
Even my father-in-law's college textbook he published at the university has had counterfeit copies printed in China.
I remember hearing a joke about how many copies of Microsoft Windows were sold in China - they only needed one!
That's what you get for Livin' La Vita Loca, my amigo!
Well I hope Al Swearengen and all of the other cock suckers looked good and the counterfeit job was not too bad.
It looks cool, counterfeit or not. Careful, ebay can be highly addicting. ;)
robert - i like the one copy joke.
galt - crazies r us.
mr shife - is there anything that isn't counterfeit these days?
jayne - like most children, i tire of new things quickly.
No recent sign of Thim's, maybe they are busy with the ejection of the new wee one.
I hope they didn't order the new wee one off of Ebay, it'll leak in nasty places. . :-)
a day without thims is like a day without sunshine. maybe he's counting his dimes.
Yes, well it takes me all of a minute to count my dimes. I'm not exactly Scrooge McDuck.
I've discovered that there are some weird people on Blogger.
I don't even know where all my dimes are.
But I know after some tests against some 1/4" sheet metal that hollow point pellets don't fragment.
Everyone on Blogger is weird, everyone that visits Blogger is weird, it's a weird planet.
Everyone but Thim's of course, he's normal, whatever in the hell that is, or he thinks it is.
thims - you threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you!
I usually prefer to hand them a sandwich and have a conversation.
