MCH Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Was listening to the local "Swap Shop" on the radio. It's where people can call in a sell just about whatever they want. Anyway, a lady got on there that was very mad. Apparently, someone had "walked" into her trailer and her son's trailer and took a TV and some video games. She made a couple of threats, told them it wouldn't be so easy next time, that she was tired of catering to druggies and alcoholics and that it was going to stop. OK, here's the bad part. I felt a strong urge to call Swap Shop and say that I have a TV and some video games for sale, CHEAP. And someone had better jump on this offer because from what I've heard, I won't be able to get anymore. :D Just one of those days, I guess.

Gator Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ok, gotta ask, how did they even manage to walk out with the stuff if she was there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 That would be friggin' hilarious! You wouldn't live near Jasper Tx would you?? According to the local news there has been a rise in the area of theft of electronics. There is also a local radio station that has "Swap Shop" on it too.

stevebeilgard Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 well, gator, i'll bet i can answer that. the criminals know that the person didn't like guns. me, i'd have pointed a shotgun at them and politely asked them to set my t.v. down and wait for the police to arrive, or i'd make sure that they did something similar. i don't ever want to shoot anyone over a television but i also don't want the criminals to be brazen enough to think that i won't. and yes, i'd take their legs off before i'd let them walk away with my television. but sorry, mch, while that is funny it would have been cruel to do that on the radio. i'm certain this was just a joke, and it's a moot point as such, so let's just leave it as funny. which it is.

JJL Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Your call would have been EXTREMELY humorus, however, The fact that you LISTEN to swap-shop is quite disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm not sure where Jasper, Tx is but I'm within 20 miles of the Texas border. Also, Swap Shop is a local staple here. A lot of good bargains on there. I'd wager 3/4's of the town listens to it almost daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I agree, that would have been hilarious to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I would have rolled in the floor if I would have heard that..... You should have called! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I guess I should also make it clear that you could tell from the phone call that the caller was basically admitting to befriending the druggies and the alcoholics. It wasn't a frail, old lady doing the complaining. You could definitely tell the caller was probably in the same boat as the people she was complaining about. Hence why I even contemplated calling.

Yep, old thread alright, seems to be a lot of that here lately http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91230, kind of tough to weed through what is new and what is old with so much of this old stuff cluttering up the place.
