God bless you, you'll even ship to Canada. Not many eBayers support that.

That reminds me, I've always meant to ask, Poolie- do Canadian postal workers get training in fighting off the Wendigo, or is that just considered an occupational hazard, like dogs and sprinklers?

The WHATigo? Wasn't that one of Wolverine's arch enemies?

The Wendigo is a spirit in mythology. It has also become a stock horror character much like the vampire or werewolf, although these fictional depictions often do not bear much resemblance to the original mythology. Since the word appears in different Native American dialects, there are variations on its spelling, Wendigo and Windigo being the most common. (from wiki)

And therefore must have something to do with Canada. Thanks Drew!

Yeah... what Justin said. In the Marvel Universe (which, granted, is often pretty liberal in interpreting mythology), the Wendigo is an evil spirit tied to the Canadian wilderness. Whenever a human being consumes the flesh of another human, he is transformed into an immense monster with an insatiable craving for human flesh, who tends to roam around the Yukon and fight the Hulk and Wolverine. The cursed individual remains in this state until another human in the region consumes human flesh, at which point the curse is subsequently transferred. Man, what kind of a Canadian are you, anyway?  -D |

The Temple of Doom, Justin? C'mon! You could've done better than that.
Of course, that being said, I am going to bid on it...

Both NES systems were found at separate garage sales and bought with whatever games they had as a package -- I only really ever played SMB3, Metroid and Blaster Master (my personal favorite).
But hey, bid away! And my 5 strategy PC games are up to five whole dollars!

Justin, I didn't know you were a fan of Nora Roberts and Danielle Steele.... Ebay's cool... I used to run a small business on it whilst in grad school... then Amazon undercut me, and I had to shut down. I'm still down with THE MAN! |
