But, it seems, at least around here, there are a lot of deadbeats looking to get something for nothing.
Like this, for example:
"We need a bigger tv. 50 inch or bigger would be nice.... "
Wouldn't it though? How about getting off your lazy ass, getting a job and buying one?
Here's another example:
Click to enlarge
Just in case you're having trouble reading it, here's what it says:
"Need a 19 or 25" conventional tube TV in working/good condition.
If you've upgraded or are upgrading to HDTV, we will use your old TV. We have a rec room and child's room that we need a TV for."
And if you can't read who wants it, just take a wild guess.
That's right, it's "Hallburn".
Why didn't you just write this:
I'm too cheap to buy a new TV, so give us your old one. It must have a remote control because I am a rather portly gent that's too lazy can't get up and down to turn the channel. It must also be very loud because there is EXCESSIVE NOISE in my neighborhood.
Jeezus, you are one cheap motherfucker.
I'll bet you were going to wrap it up and give it as a Christmas present, weren't you?
I suppose you want someone to deliver and install it too?
Man! I about pissed myself when I read this. It literally just writes itself, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Daily Mail "neediest cases" volunteers can come and plant the trees while they are installing his television set also. It is Christmas as you know.
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable.
The sad thing is that the tv for the child's room will be used as a babysitter.
ReplyDeleteThe Academy of American Pediatrics says that children older than 2 shouldn't watch more than one to two hours of TV a day. Toddlers parked in front of the TV have a much higher risk of developing ADHD.
He's already got poor heredity against him.
You know this poor child will be shunted off to watch tv alone all day.
Once again you have proved yourself to be stupid!
ReplyDeleteYou can't buy conventional tube television sets anymore. No one sells them. The stores are stocked with expensive HDTV sets!
Each of these rooms will be used very rarely. One is used when guests come over and want to watch something different than what we are watching in the living room. The toddler's room MIGHT be used as much as one hour a day.
We don't want to put an expensive flat screen in the toddler's room in case he breaks it. And we don't want to invest in HDTV for the home right now because we don't want to risk breaking an expensive television when we sell the house and move.
The purpose of Freecycle is to keep working things out of the landfill. Televisions take up a lot of landfill space. There is no sense in tossing them out if they still work! But you've never been aware of common sense or common courtesy! All you care about is inventing trashy lies to say about me and my family. Which is why no one respects you in Putnam County and why you only have a VERY FEW readers, most of which are in the group room at Mildred Mitchell Bateman!
By the time you sell the house and move we'll have holographic TVs.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "You can't buy conventional tube televison sets anymore. No one sells them."
ReplyDeleteReally? A simple Web search finds me thousands. Including some available at local retailers.
But that would require you to actually PURCHASE the television, and well, we all know how you are with having to actually pay for anything.
Come on Putnamblob, you and your editorial staff can do better can't you? When is your next staff meeting or conference call?
ReplyDeleteActually, lardsack, you CAN still buy them. Brandsmart and several other major retail stores still sell them. They are cheap. They are harder to come by, but they are out there. You're just looking for a handout. CRT ("tube" TVs as you crudely call them) are far more dangerous to children, as they are HEAVY and unstable. Many children have been seriously or fatally injured by bulky CRT TVs that have been pulled off of a TV stand or dresser.
ReplyDeleteThere is no logical need to have a television in your two year old child's bedroom.
Does anyone else see the irony of Trash looking for other people's trash? He probably furnishes his office by driving around on trash night and digging like a hobo through the garbage... much like he does behind the Dunkin Donuts!
Hey PutPutBlob, have you tried KMart? They have tons of "conventional" or ANALOG (for those you are up on the lingo) televisions. But people are right, you just want a fuckin' handout. Get a job, buy a damned TV...don't put your hand out. As my father wisely says..."shit in one hand and want in the other and see which ones fills up faster." Use that pea-sized brain on that one, might take you awhile.

Very interesting. Am I mistaken or do I recall a post he made on GOW talking about how he had 9 tvs or something like that?
ReplyDeleteHumm, why don't you ask for a treadmill that no one is using? Or maybe a bike?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought of getting off your lazy behind and going for a walk or taking your son to the park to play?
Never mind, keep it up big boy. I hope someone does give you a tv to keep you stangnat and fatter. The chances of Matthew growing up to be mentally stable are better if you succomb to one of the conditions that you have due to your lifestyle.
WAIT, hold the presses!!! Some one PLEASE explain why a 1 year old is still on formula? Please explain that to me? I am also assuming that he is drinking it out of a bottle?
ReplyDeleteAnyone else see the problem with this? I am sad.
If the purpose of giving the tv away is to avoid it going to a dump why would they send it to Halburn's? And Halburn says "WE don't want to risk breaking an expensive television when WE sell the house and move". Did your wife and mother in law type the response?
ReplyDeleteI have a bike and rowing machine. I've lost more than 50 pounds. The analog TVs (Which K-Mart and Brandsmart DO NOT sell) are for a back room and our son's room to watch educational videos - ON OCCASION!)
ReplyDeleteAnd if too much TV causes ADHD, "Mike Ballburn" and his Internet friends must have watched 24/7 as children!
Oh, "Mike:"
ReplyDeleteOn that K-Mart link, you missed the following text on EVERY ONE OF THE TUBE TVs:
"Out of stock for shipping."
Yes, the web site lists TVs. But they can't deliver the goods. I hear you have the same problem!
Really? I was in brandsmart today, and I saw SEVERAL options to choose from in a CRT TV. Back of the store, lardass. If you walked back there, you'd see. But since I doubt your atrophied from lack of exercise legs could propel your doughy body back there.
ReplyDeleteYou lie. And you're lazy. Also, KMart does have CRT TV's as well... in stock...
Lost more than 50 lbs of oreos... because they fell on the floor and he can't see them over his fat rolls... AMIRITE?
ReplyDeleteYeah "Hallburn", you have to go to the store and pick the damned thing up...ya know drive, waddle into the store, harrass some people, and CARRY THE DAMNED THING OUT YOURSELF! Hence why you don't do it, them lil' flabby ham hocks couldn't lift more than a small chicken leg from KFC.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, what is God's name does a 2 year old need with a 50 inch High Def? Hell, I am 28 years old and I don't even have a High Def, nor do I need one....don't watch that much TV....what would a 2 year old care if he sees Elmo in High Def or Standard Analog? You are just wanting a handout and no one in their right minds would give anyone a 50 inch High Def for any reason.
Tybois:
ReplyDeleteThe local K-Marts don't carry CRT/Tube TVs so I can't drive there and carry one out. And I don't want a HDTV for our son's room-just a TUBE TV. That's what I was requesting. Go back and read the post. Oh, that's right, you dont't research, you just run your mouth! And,
Lenny," Brandsmart doesn't have stores in this region of West Virginia.
There's always an excuse isn't there, Halburg?
ReplyDeleteYou're a leech. Pure and simple.
Re: Nine TV sets, yes.
ReplyDelete"MARK HALLBURN says
May 18, 2009 10:55 p.m.
Does Dish have a deal to make it affordable for a home with 9 TVs? Yea, really, 9!"
So, allegedly, yes, there already are 9 televisions in home. It needs to go to 11?
Maybe Putnamblob can check on other items needed at the community cupboard in Hurricane, they do good work there to help people in time of need.
ReplyDeleteMark? I want to help you. I'll bring two shovels. You and I cn dig a really big hole. Then, as I hand you a bottle of water for a job well done...

Wow. That's a lot of wanting.
"Baby likes to eat" So does Daddy.
A king size bed? What's your wife going to sleep on?
What kind of college would admit a scholar like you anyway?
Want to bet where those computers were going?
Straight into the "news room" I'd say.
Careful Tyler,
ReplyDelete"Hallburn" will accuse you of threatening him and call the cops on you.
They hauled Lenny off in cuffs.
Wait, no they didn't.
Snappy comeback too, "Hallburn".
Where's you get that? Pee Wee Herman?
I know you are but what am I?
"Mark" (using quotations for emphasis and sarcasm)- You proved ME wrong? When?
ReplyDeleteJesus, I wish I lived in the delusional world you do. The one where kittens shit rainbows, and you are ever right.
Shit. Fire. Die. Capice?
No worries Mike. The Internet police are in my right back pocket and I've got my firewall condom on. Also, I'm not afraid of a guy that basically ignores me because he is too afraid to be verbally hammered.
