I wonder if you drink it your voice will become Shaq's, and you can't say anything but endorsements for Gold Bond foot lotion whenever you try to talk.

Kinda like in those Allstate commercials haha

Something someone posted on Facebook as a pointer to others. Thought it might be useful here:

Well I think some of you might find this helpful. We all probably have had this happen to us at some time or another. The gaming items that may be high end but its also a big "does it work okay". Here are my experiences post yours is you like. A phillips cdi is extremely high risk its a fair bet that more than half of all used ones will have issues. A turbographix express no matter what condition someone ses its in may very well need new capacitors which are like 70$. Gamecube discs have the highest "breakage" rate of any discs due to their size. A mark the same size that may have no effect on a ps2 may make a gmcb game unplayable. Its a pretty much a good idea to test all sony and microsoft consoles. Literally in general half of the psp 1001's have disc reading issues lesser in the 2001 and even less in the 3000 series. Ps2 ps1 consoles most will play games but almost half will have issues playing dvd movies or blue coated ps2 discs. The most problem plagued nintendo console is actually the snes while I find the breakage issue to be less than old ps2's. Generally its worth a second look if its an older model one (the one where theres a plastic tab that holds the game in.

I just want to know where the author is buying capacitors, $70 is insane for a cap kit.

Sort of. Kind of. Not really.

Although I will say that the bullet points make it more...tolerable?
