Larry Where is my Arcade Cabinet

 

    Went to Maui a few weeks back and was talking to a friend who I'll just call Larry.  After showing him my old school break dancing moves I asked him if he would build me an Arcade Cabinet.  He's a kick ass carpenter, and well I'm not. Now Larry is a mean looking son of a bitch.  A person you don't want to fuck with.  But fuck it. 

    Dude, where's my shit?  We had an agreement.  An understanding one could say.  Now you make me take you to the net for an all and out fuck you match.  Is this how you treat a friend of a friend of a friend who knows a friend who has a pool?  That's right I said it, and I'm not taking it back.  As a matter of fact Larry (if that is your true name) re-read that shit again, because I'm not typing it twice.  I show you the Robot, Moonwalk, Roger Rabbit and The Running Man and you do me like that.  I believe your words were, "Teach me a move, and I'll build you that Arcade Cabinet"

     Remember, we were on the Porch in front of my room on the first floor, my wife stepped out, and it was Me, You and your wife.  I believe happy Larry or was it Good time Larry (as your wife said) was in full effect.  We were drinking Rum out of that beer bong we found in the trash can by the pool.  Yeah, I'm sure you remember that.  I thought we had a deal. I lived up to my end of the bargain.  I showed you, that bring up your leg and tweak it to the right move, that Michael Jackson is famous for.  Your wife laughed so hard she almost fell out of her chair.  And to seal the deal, we went snorkeling together using the buddy system.  I'm not sure how it works in your world, but in mine a duel snorkel is the same as a signed contract.  My god man, what does it take in your world for an off the cuff understanding? Some sort of blood brother ritual?

                                                                           

                                                                             I had to do a Photoshop on the above picture, to be able to get Larry

                                                                             and myself in happier times, before the dark side, before the betrayal!

 Now Larry, since I know your reading this let me point out a few things.  Thanks for picking up dinner.  And thanks for not kicking my ass for bringing up petty shit.  But I really do want your help in building this Arcade Cabinet.  I have a few extra computers, so feel free to build a 2nd cabinet for yourself.  Although you will have to buy your own buttons, joysticks, trackball, spinner and a tv monitor/arcade monitor.  I plan to use a 27inch tv set.  I have left several sites from which you can get ideas.
